<< List of tours >> |
The Bowser Tour was the seventy-seventh tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on August 24, 2022 and ended on September 6, 2022. Being themed around Bowser, the tour featured Meowser and Dr. Bowser in the first week's spotlight pipe, while the new courses introduced in this tour were Bowser's Castle 3 from Mario Kart: Super Circuit and a remix version of the GBA Bowser's Castle courses titled RMX Bowser's Castle 1 (the first non-SNES RMX course), making this tour the first to introduce both a classic course and a remix course, the first tour since the Hammer Bro Tour sixty-three tours prior to debut two non-city courses, and the first tour since the Kamek Tour twenty-six tours prior to debut a remix course. Two more courses in this tour are themed around Bowser: GBA Bowser's Castle 1 and 3DS Neo Bowser City. The tour also introduced Bowser- and Dry Bowser-themed Mii Racing Suits, with the former marking all Mario-themed Mii Suits from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe being present in the game as of this tour. Both suits have the Bowser's Shell special skill, making this the first time a driver with said skill was introduced in a tour since Bowser Jr. in the Tokyo Tour, the game's second tour. The menu's background featured the mountains from the GBA Bowser's Castle courses and RMX Bowser's Castle 1 as the landmark for this tour. This is the first and only tour where the trailer shows the preview of the track once instead of twice before the banner and the title appear, as other tours show the preview of the track twice.
Starting from this tour, the Sneeker kart is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.

Today's Challenge
Players' most recently used kart and glider are chosen, and favorite and favored ones have extra priority. Opponents are arranged randomly.

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.
