Yoshi Tour (2021)
Template:MKTTour The Yoshi Tour was the fortieth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on March 24, 2021 and ended on April 6, 2021. It was the third tour to share its name with a previous tour, the seventh tour to be named directly after a character, and the first tour to have both of these traits. Like the Yoshi Tour in 2020, this tour was set around Easter. Blue Yoshi, White Yoshi, and Birdo (Black) were added as new drivers in this tour, while Yoshi (Egg Hunt) returned as one of the spotlight drivers in the first week. The Lakitu referee wore a spring-themed outfit during this tour. This tour's Coin Rush course was N64 Royal Raceway, which was reused from the Peach Tour. The menu's background featured the lighthouse from Yoshi Circuit as the landmark of this tour.
This was the first tour since the Mario vs. Luigi Tour to not introduce a new course to the game, though this tour introduced the R/T variants of N64 Royal Raceway and SNES Donut Plains 2.
