Pirate Tour
Template:MKTTour The Pirate Tour was the twenty-fourth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on August 12, 2020 and ended on August 25, 2020. True to its name, the tour introduced a pirate variant of Bowser Jr. while also adding in new pirate-themed kart parts such as the Pirate Sushi Racer and the Great Sail, with Airship Fortress from Mario Kart DS acting as the signature course. The tour also marked King Bob-omb's playable debut in the Mario Kart series and the Mario series in general. The menu's background featured the airships from Airship Fortress as the landmark for this tour.
This was also the final tour that contained the first set of Expert Challenges for players, which started in the Cooking Tour.
