<< List of tours >> |
The Samurai Tour was the sixty-sixth tour of Mario Kart Tour which began on March 23, 2022, and ended on April 5, 2022. Fitting the theme, the tour added Mario wearing the Samurai Helmet and Samurai Armor from Super Mario Odyssey as a playable character, as well as introducing Peach in a heart-themed yukata (her overall appearance being based on her appearance in Bowser's Kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey), a pink-colored Shy Guy (Ninja), and Wave 2 of Mii Racing Suits. The tour also introduced many other Japanese-based items like the Warrior Wagon and the Origami Glider. Ninja Hideaway also returned as the signature course of the tour, in line with the course's inclusion in Wave 1 of the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Although this tour did not introduce any new courses — the first to do so since the 2021 Space Tour nine tours prior - it featured the debut of 3DS Wario Shipyard and 3DS Bowser's Castle's R/T variants. This makes the tour the first of two tours in 2022 to not introduce a new course, with the second being the 2023 New Year's Tour. This tour's Coin Rush course was SNES Ghost Valley 1, which was reused from the 2020 Halloween Tour. The menu's background featured Ninja Manor as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the 2021 Ninja Tour. This would be the last appearance of SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2 until the Sunshine Tour, thirty-five tours later in 2023. This tour's trailer featured falling cherry blossom petals during its opening splash screen.
This was the last tour to feature the eighth set of Expert Challenges, which started in the Singapore Tour.
The 2.5 Year Anniversary Celebration started in this tour, which includes a new set of challenges. A pipe containing tickets, coins, and rubies, as well as drivers, karts, and gliders, has also been added to the Token Shop, and can be pulled a total of thirty-one times; the cost for the initial pull is 50 event tokens, increasing with 10 tokens for every subsequent pull until the sixteenth, then with 50 tokens between the seventeenth and the twenty-first pulls. From the twenty-second pull onwards, the pipe costs 500 tokens per pull.
Starting from this tour, the Royal Parachute glider is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.

Today's Challenge[edit]
Players' most recently used kart and glider are chosen, and favorite and favored ones have extra priority. Opponents are arranged randomly. On day 1 of this tour, players finish a race in Wii Mushroom Gorge R in the Toad Cup using Captain Toad for a free pipe launch. Starting from day 2, players have to finish a race in the earliest incomplete course that is not in any of the ranked cups using the driver shown on the course's thumbnail every day to obtain the corresponding reward in the table below. Once all of the courses are completed, the courses are selected at random.
