Template:MKTTour The Winter Tour is the thirty-second tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on December 2, 2020 and will end on December 15, 2020. It is the second tour that shares its name with a previous tour, while also introducing a new course themed after the North Pole and Santa's workshop, aptly named Merry Mountain. A variant of Bowser in Christmas attire is introduced, while Mario (Santa) and Yoshi (Reindeer) reappear as the second week's spotlights. For the duration of the tour, the Lakitu referee also wore a Christmas-themed costume, and the festive trees from the 2019 Winter Tour, the London Tour, and the Holiday Tour return. A new bonus challenge called "Take them out quick!" is also introduced, where the player is tasked with taking out all of their Mega Opponent’s balloons before the time runs out. The menu's background featured the present tower of Merry Mountain as the landmark for this tour.

Notes

The 2020 Winter Tour reuses the Peachette Cup's bonus challenge from the 2019 Winter Tour for this tour's Morton Cup, the Wario Cup and Iggy Cup's bonus challenges from the New Year's Tour for this tour's Rosalina Cup and Baby Luigi Cup (although the three-star requirement for the former challenge was increased from 20 to 22), and the Yoshi Cup's bonus challenge from the Yoshi Tour for this tour's Dry Bowser Cup (although the two-star requirement was increased from 9 to 10 and the three-star requirement was increased from 13 to 15).

Signature kart sets

Drivers with a corresponding cup in the tour were bumped one rank up in every course of their cup.
