Template:MKTTour The Penguin Tour is the fifty-ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on December 15, 2021 and will end on December 28, 2021. True to its name, the tour features the return of various penguin-themed items, as well as introducing Penguin Toadette from New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe as a new power-up driver variant. Additionally, the tour also marks the debut of the second layout of the Vancouver Velocity course, aptly named Vancouver Velocity 2.[1]

This tour continues the Holiday Celebration event that started on the previous tour, which in addition of keeping the Holiday Challenges, it features better rewards on the Token Shop, which include High-End karts like the Sushi Racer and the Apple Kart and High-End gliders like the Cloud Glider and the Blizzard Balloons, as well as introducing a light-blue colored variant of Toad (Pit Crew) known as Light Blue Toad (Pit Crew), who will be available as a reward for placing high in this tour's ranked cups.[2][3]

This tour's Coin Rush course is DS DK Pass, which was reused from the 2019 and 2020 Winter Tours. The menu's background features the 2010 Winter Olympics cauldron under the aurora borealis as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the Vancouver Tour.

Starting from this tour, the Starry Great Sail glider is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.
