The New Year's Tour is the eighty-sixth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which begins on December 28, 2022 and ends on January 10, 2023. It introduces the R/T variants of multiple returning classic courses, namely GBA Sky Garden, GBA Cheep-Cheep Island, GBA Bowser's Castle 3, GCN Baby Park, Wii Koopa Cape, and 3DS Piranha Plant Slide, making this the first tour since the Vancouver Tour to introduce three or more R/T variants of returning courses, as well as the first tour since the Samurai Tour to only introduce R/T variants and no brand new courses, and the first tour since the Toad vs. Toadette Tour to only feature R/T variants. Kadomatsu also return from the previous New Year's-themed tours.
This is the first tour since the Singapore Tour, the first tour of 2022, to feature SNES Mario Circuit 1, making it the classic course with the longest gap of appearances between tours.
The Holiday Celebration continues from the previous tour and ends in this tour.
The twelfth set of Expert Challenges will be introduced in this tour.

Today's Challenge
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 balloon battle in GBA Battle Course 1 in the Mii Cup using the Nabbit Mii Racing Suit 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.
