1st Anniversary Tour
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 1st Anniversary Tour is the twenty-eighth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on October 7, 2020, and will end on October 20, 2020. It celebrates the first anniversary since Mario Kart Tour's release on September 25, 2019, and sees the return of four city-themed nitro courses while also introducing New York Minute 3. Log-in bonuses are extended from 10 days to all 14 days of the tour, as is the event tokens event. Anniversary Challenges are also added alongside the standard Tour Challenges and grant the player rubies as rewards for completing each of them. Additionally, the number of free pipes for this tour has increased from 4 to 6.
This tour was first announced three days after the previous tour began, which makes this tour's announcement date the closest to its previous tour's starting date. However, no information besides its name was given until the day the tour would have normally been announced.

Cups

In every cup, the driver which the cup is themed about is raised a tier on each track, making them a three- or two-item driver on that course. Up until the Ice Tour, a kart and a glider were also given a bonus for each race in the cup.
