TheNight Tour is a tour ofMario Kart Tour. It originally occurred from June 28, 2023 through July 11, 2023 as the game's ninety-ninth tour,being rerun in the subsequent years.
This tour introducedRome Avanti, anew city course set inRome,Italy, as well asMoonview Highway fromMario Kart Wii, marking its first appearance in the series as aclassic course. Fitting with Rome Avanti's theme,Donkey Kong in a gladiator outfit was introduced as a new driver, the first and only variant of aKong character. The tour also includes other city courses set at night (hence its name), namelyNew York Minute,Vancouver Velocity, andSingapore Speedway. The inclusion of Vancouver Velocity may also referenceCanada Day, which occurred during this tour on July 1, and New York Minute may also reference AmericanIndependence Day, which also occurred during this tour on July 4. This was the first tour since the2019 Paris Tour to introduce both a new city course and a classic course, and the second tour in a row to add three courses simultaneously. It was also the first tour to feature the normal variant of New York Minute since its debut in theNew York Tour (the first tour of the game), the first tour to feature New York Minute 2R since its debut in the2019 Holiday Tour (the seventh tour of the game), and the first tour to feature New York Minute B since its debut in the2022 Autumn Tour. This tour sawGCN Waluigi Stadium's first reappearance immediately following its debut in theprevious tour, making this the first tour to feature a course introduced in the previous tour since the secondPeach vs. Bowser Tour. This tour marked the longest gap between appearances of a bonus challenge, as it marked the first appearance of theVs. Mega Donkey Kong bonus challenge since the New York Tour.
This was the first tour to introduce a driver with theBanana Barrelsspecial skill since the introduction ofFunky Kong in theJungle Tour eighty-one tours prior, being theLight Green Mii Racing Suit. Additionally, all Shy Guy colors fromMario Kart 8 had returned inMario Kart Tour as of this tour. This was also the first tour since theMarine Tour, the2019 Holiday Tour, and thePeach vs. Daisy Tour to giveMonty Mole,Diddy Kong, andPink Gold Peach, respectively, a new favorite course (being the normal variant of New York Minute, Rome Avanti R/T, and both the normal variant of New York Minute and Wii Moonview Highway R/T respectively).
This tour'sCoin Rush course was New York Minute, which was reused from theNew York Tour and the2022 Autumn Tour. The menu's background featured theColosseum as the tour's landmark.
The fourteenth set ofExpert Challenges was introduced in this tour. This was the second set of Expert Challenges to last for seven tours instead of six (until the2023 Anniversary Tour); the first was from the2023 New Year's Tour to the2023 Ninja Tour.
This was the final tour to introduce a new Wii course.
