Cat Tour (2021)

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

Template:MKTTour The Cat Tour is the thirty-sixth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on January 27, 2021 and will end on February 9, 2021. Like the name suggests, it marks the return of Cat Peach and introduces Cat Toad as playable characters, while adding new cat-themed kart parts such as the Cat Cruiser from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the Toe-Bean Balloons, and Donut Plains 2 from Super Mario Kart returns as a classic course, which serves as the signature course of the tour. The tour took place close to the release of the similarly-themed Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. The menu's background featured the hills from Donut Plains 2 as the landmark for this tour.

This is the last tour to feature the third set of Expert Challenges, which started in the Mario vs. Luigi Tour.

Trivia

This is the eigth tour to not have a Vs. Mega (Opponent) challenge in the final cup, the first seven being the Tokyo, Peach, Summer Festival, Sunset, Mario vs. Luigi, New Year's 2021 and Berlin tours.
In the Dry Bones Cup, N64 Kalimari Desert 2 depicts Dixie Kong in its icon, even though it is only treated as a favored course (unless Dixie Kong is leveled up to level 6).
