Template:MKTTour The Pirate Tour is the twenty-fourth tour of Mario Kart Tour that began on August 12, 2020 and will end on August 25, 2020. True to its name, the tour introduces 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 is also the final tour that contains the first set of Expert Challenges for players, which started in the Cooking Tour.

Notes

The Pirate Tour reuses the Mario Cup's bonus challenge from the Tokyo Tour for this tour's Wario Cup, the Peach Cup's bonus challenge from the Paris Tour for this tour's Bowser Cup, and the Dry Bowser Cup's bonus challenge from the Winter Tour for this tour's Luigi Cup.

Signature kart sets

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.
