The '''Exploration Tour''' is the twenty-second tour of ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' that began on July 15, 2020 and will end on July 28, 2020. Due to its theme around exploration and treasure-hunting, [[Captain Toad]] and [[Toadette]] in her explorer gear from ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' were added as the new spotlight drivers of the tour, while also adding appropriately-themed kart parts such as the [[Clackety Kart]] and the [[Treasure Map]]. [[Choco Mountain]] from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' reappears as the signature track of the tour since its last appearance in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. The menu's background featured the mountains from Choco Mountain as the landmark for this tour. This tour also features a Heavy Hitters Pipe, a pipe that focuses on heavyweight drivers and became available on July 19, 2020 and ended on July 24, 2020.

===Notes===
The Exploration Tour reuses the Wario Cup's bonus challenge from the [[Tokyo Tour]] for this tour's Waluigi Cup, the Waluigi Cup and Mario Cup's bonus challenges from the [[Halloween Tour]] for this tour's Toadette Cup and Larry Cup, and the Waluigi Cup's bonus challenge from the [[Holiday Tour]] for this tour's Diddy Kong Cup. However, while the Halloween Tour's Mario Cup bonus challenge (a Time Trial on GCN Dino Dino Jungle) had a three-star requirement time of 1:50.00, the reused challenge in this tour's Larry Cup lessened the requirement for three stars by 8 seconds, to 1:58.00.

===Signature kart sets===
In every cup, the driver which the cup is themed about is raised a tier on each track, making them a three- or two-item driver on that course. Up until the [[Ice Tour]], a kart and a glider were also given a bonus for each race in the cup.
