<< List of tours >> |
The Piranha Plant Tour was the seventy-fourth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on July 13, 2022 and ended on July 26, 2022. As the tour's name indicates, it featured numerous Piranha Plant-themed content, including Piranha Plant Slide from Mario Kart 7 returning as a classic course, Petey Piranha as a new driver (marking his first playable appearance in the Mario Kart series since Mario Kart: Double Dash!! almost 19 years prior, and leaving Koopa Paratroopa as the only character from that game to not return in later installments), a Petey Piranha-themed Mii Racing Suit released as part of Wave 10, the Piranha Pipes kart from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and the new Piranha Plant Balloons glider. Additionally, most of the courses that have Piranha Plants in them, such as SNES Choco Island 2 and GCN Yoshi Circuit, were also included. The tour also took place during the 20th anniversary of Super Mario Sunshine, Petey Piranha's debut game, in Japan, July 19.
Starting from this tour, with the exception of coins, the bonus point boosts from glider special skills apply to items that appear in driver special skills, like the Lucky Seven. For example, if a player is to use a glider with the Mushroom Plus skill, the player will receive more bonus points from picking up Mushrooms shot out of a Mushroom Cannon, instead of the point boost strictly applying to Mushrooms received in Item Boxes.
This tour's Coin Rush course was SNES Choco Island 2. The menu's background featured the castle and some Warp Pipes from Piranha Plant Slide as the landmarks for this tour.
Starting from this tour, the Sunny Surf Sailer kart is available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe.
For unexplained reasons, despite posting a teaser image for the tour the Thursday before the tour started, the official Mario Kart Tour Twitter account did not post the trailers for the tour and the corresponding Mii Racing Suit on the Friday before the start of the tour like normal, instead posting it on the day of the tour itself. However, the trailers were viewable in the News section of the game itself on the Friday prior.
This was the final tour to introduce a new 3DS course.
