Template:MKTTour The Yoshi Tour is the fortieth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which started on March 24, 2021 and will end on April 6, 2021. It is the third tour to share its name with a previous tour, the seventh tour to be named directly after a character, as well as the first tour to be named directly after a character twice. Like the Yoshi Tour in 2020, this tour is set around Easter. Blue Yoshi, White Yoshi, and Birdo (Black) were added as new drivers in this tour, while Yoshi (Egg Hunt) returns as one of the spotlight drivers in the first week. The Lakitu referee wears a spring-themed outfit during this tour.
This is the first tour since the Mario vs. Luigi Tour to not introduce a new course to the game, though it introduced the Reverse/Trick variants of N64 Royal Raceway and SNES Donut Plains 2.
This tour's Coin Rush course is N64 Royal Raceway, which was reused from the Peach Tour.

Notes
The Yoshi Tour reused the Dry Bowser Cup's bonus challenge from the Holiday Tour for this tour's Bowser Jr. Cup, the Bowser Cup's bonus challenge from the New Year's Tour for this tour's Peachette Cup (although the 1-star, 2-star, and 3-star requirements were changed from 3:00.00, 2:35.00, and 2:02.00 to 2:45.00, 2:15.00, and 2:04.00), the Metal Mario Cup's bonus challenge from the Mario Bros. Tour for this tour's Baby Rosalina Cup (although the 3-star requirement was decreased from 15 to 14), the King Boo Cup's bonus challenge from the 2020 Yoshi Tour for this tour's Bowser Cup, and the Peach Cup's bonus challenge from the Super Mario Kart Tour for this tour's King Boo Cup (although the 1-star, 2-star, and 3-star requirements were all increased from 15, 26, and 38 to 20, 35, and 45).
