<< List of tours >>

The Pipe Tour is the one-hundredth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on July 12, 2023 and ends on July 25, 2023. This tour introduces a brand new pipe-themed course named Piranha Plant Pipeline, reflecting the theme of the tour, while also adding two pipe-based karts - one being the Boo Pipes from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and the other being the new Gold Pipes kart. Wiggler is introduced as a new driver after its series debut in Mario Kart 7 along with a themed Mii Racing Suit, coinciding with Wiggler's inclusion in Wave 5 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass (which released on the same day as this tour). In addition, a variant of Pauline in a cowgirl outfit is introduced as a new driver, making this the first tour since the Peach vs. Daisy Tour to introduce a variant of Pauline. The tour also sees the first reappearances of Wii Dry Dry Ruins since its debut in the 2023 Ninja Tour, GBA Yoshi Desert since its debut in the 2023 Yoshi Tour, and Piranha Plant Cove and Piranha Plant Cove 2 since their debut in the 2023 Exploration Tour, as well as the first reappearances of GBA Sunset Wilds and 3DS Piranha Plant Slide since the 2023 Exploration Tour, and the first reappearance of GCN Dino Dino Jungle since the Animal Tour. Counting re-routes as separate courses, this is the first tour since the 2023 Ninja Tour to introduce only a single course to the game.

This is the first tour since the Tokyo Tour to give the Cheep Charger a new favorite course, as well as the first tour since the New Year's 2021 Tour to give the Oilpaper Umbrella a new favorite course, and the first tour since the 2021 Halloween Tour to give Waluigi (Bus Driver) a new favorite course.

Similarly to the April-May 2021 Sydney Tour, New Year's 2022 Tour, and Spring Tour, the trailer and social media announcement were publicly released later than the usual time.

The Coin Rush course for this tour is Piranha Plant Pipeline. The menu background features the mountain from the starting area of Piranha Plant Pipeline as the tour's landmark.
