WhenMario Kart Tourwas first announced and later released for mobile platforms, it was initially criticized as a stripped-down version of theMario Kartseries. Over time,Mario Kart Tourhas developed its own fanbase, praising its inclusion of Tours which are the game’s version of event banners found in other mobile games.
Another tour is on the way forMario Kart Tourplayers following the conclusion of the “Peach vs Daisy” tour alongside the “Valentine 2020” tour. The “Peach vs Daisy” tour, which ran for two weeks and ends today, introduced the RMX Choco Island 2 course, a remixed version of Choco Island 2 originally featured inSuper Mario Kart. In the upcoming “Snow Tour” course, another classic course from a previousMario Kartreturns, this time fromMario Kart Wii.

The upcoming “Snow Tour,” beginning later in the evening today, adds the DK Summit course fromMario Kart Wiias its signature course of the tour. DK Summit makes the second time that a course fromMario Kart Wiiis used, the first being Maple Treeway from the “Halloween 2020” tour. This continues the appeal ofMario Kart Touras the inclusion of these classic courses is shown in unique ways, with some courses fueling nostalgia as they hadn’t been featured in aMario Karttitle in over a decade.
A new character is also teased this time around, revealing Penguin Yellow Toad fromNew Super Mario Bros Wiiracing on the half-pipe in the background behind Peach and Wario who are also wearing winter attire. With the lack of anannouncement involving a potential newMario Karttitle as fans of the series anticipated in last week’s Direct, the content featured in the Snow Tour will hopefully hold fans over in the meanwhile.
Mario Kart Touris currently available for iOS and Android devices.
