The Ninja Tour was the forty-first tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on April 7, 2021 and ended on April 20, 2021. This tour introduced a brand new course based on a Japanese dojo, Ninja Hideaway (making this the first tour since the 2020 Winter Tour nine tours prior to introduce a new course not based on a city, introducing Merry Mountain), and drivers Shy Guy (Ninja), Green Shy Guy, and King Bob-omb (Gold). Peach (Kimono) and Daisy (Yukata) also returned as spotlight drivers for the second week. This tour's Coin Rush course was SNES Rainbow Road, which was reused from the beta test and the Tokyo Tour. The menu's background featured Ninja Manor from Ninja Hideaway as the landmark for this tour. This tour's trailer featured shurikens during its opening splash screen.
Starting from this tour, the Butterfly Wings are available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.

Trivia[edit]
- In the Wario Cup, 3DS Toad Circuit R/T depicted Gold Koopa (Freerunning) on its course icon despite it only being treated as a favored course (unless Gold Koopa (Freerunning) is upgraded to level 3).
