The Exploration Tour is the eighty-ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on February 8, 2023 and ends on February 21, 2023. The tour introduces a brand new course to Mario Kart Tour and the Mario Kart series called Piranha Plant Cove and is the first tour to introduce a new course since the Sundae Tour thirteen tours prior (which introduced Sky-High Sundae) and is also the first tour to introduce multiple routes of the same new course together. Reflecting the theme of the tour, two variants of Shy Guy based on the yellow and light-blue Exploring Shy Guys seen on GBA Sunset Wilds were added as new drivers. This is the second tour to have no repeated courses, the first one being the Animal Tour.

The Winterfest, which began in the previous tour, lasts until the end of this tour.

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.

  2. A boomerang is present behind Petey Piranha's kart on the far-left of the second image, but is absent from the first.
  3. Captain Toad is in a different pose.
  4. A large pillar is standing upright in the second image, but has fallen over in the first.
  5. The Maw-Ray is higher in the second image.
  6. Purple sparkles in the background are in a different arrangement between the images.
  7. Mario uses his normal variant in the first image, but his Classic variant in the second.
  8. Bowser is holding a Bowser's Shell in the first image, but a Spiny Shell in the second.
  9. The Shy Guy at the front is blue in the first image, but yellow in the second.
  10. The Item Boxes are at a different angle between the images.
