New Year's 2021 Tour

Revision as of 01:37, January 13, 2021 by Mario jc (talk | contribs)

Template:MKTTour The New Year's 2021 Tour was the thirty-fourth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on December 30, 2020 and ended on January 12, 2021. Hence the name, the tour celebrated the new year of 2021. A new remix variation of SNES Rainbow Road, called RMX Rainbow Road 2, was introduced in this tour, while the Lakitu referee in his New Year's outfit worn since the 2020 Winter Tour became a playable High-End driver in the game, alongside Pauline (Party Time) and Toad (Party Time) as the spotlight drivers for the first week. Additionally, every alternate variant of Mario (only excluding Mario (Musician) and Mario (Santa)) returned as the spotlight drivers for the second week. The menu's background featured the four bouncy mushrooms from RMX Rainbow Road 2 as the landmark for this tour.

Starting from January 1, 2021, kadomatsu were added to every course. Unlike in the 2020 New Year's Tour, hitting the kadomatsu did not award the player with points.

Similarly to the 1st Anniversary Tour, there were special bonus challenges called New Year's Challenges that awarded players with rubies upon completing a challenge.

Notes

The New Year's 2021 Tour reused the Mario Cup, Wendy Cup, and Pauline Cup's bonus challenges from the Holiday Tour for this tour's King Boo Cup, Diddy Kong Cup, and Wario Cup (although the first challenge adjusted the 1-star and 2-star requirements from 5 and 10 to 7 and 12, and the second challenge adjusted the 1-star and 3-star requirements from 10 and 16 to 8 and 17), and the Ice Mario Cup's bonus challenge from the Hammer Bro Tour for this tour's Toadette Cup.

Signature kart sets

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

Trivia

  • The New Year's 2021 Tour was the fourth tour to reuse a post-release Coin Rush course from another tour, namely reusing the SNES Vanilla Lake 1 Coin Rush course from the Ice Tour. The first time was the Cooking Tour, which reused the DS Luigi's Mansion Coin Rush course from the 2019 Halloween Tour, the second time was the Sunset Tour, which reused the 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar Coin Rush course from the Holiday Tour, and the third time was the 2020 Winter Tour, which reused the DS DK Pass Coin Rush course from the 2019 Winter Tour.
  • Despite festive trees not appearing in the New Year's 2021 Tour, one could be seen in the upper middle area of the King Boo Cup's Break Item Boxes challenge.
    • This is due to the fact that the icon in question came from the Holiday Tour, a tour that did have festive trees.
  • In the Diddy Kong Cup, GBA Sunset Wilds R/T depicted Birdo (Yellow) on the icon despite it not being a favorite course.
  • This was the fifth tour in which the Vs. Mega (opponent) challenge did not appear in the final cup of the tour, the other four being the Tokyo, Peach, Summer Festival and Sunset Tours.
    • This was also the first tour since the Sunset Tour to feature a Big Reverse Race challenge.
