<< List of tours >>

The Yoshi Tour is the ninety-third tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on April 5, 2023 and ends on April 18, 2023. The tour adds Yoshi's Island, which first appeared in Wave 4 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, and Yoshi Desert, returning from Mario Kart: Super Circuit for the first time as a classic course; the R/T variant of N64 Yoshi Valley is also introduced. In addition to the Yoshi's Island course being themed around the Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island game, many other Yoshi franchise items are also introduced in this tour, including Poochy's first playable appearance in the Mario Kart series and a Yoshi Cookie-themed glider. During this tour, some courses feature spring eggs which give points and event tokens when interacted with.

The introduction of Poochy makes this the first tour since the Piranha Plant Tour to introduce a brand new driver, as well as the first tour since the 2022 Los Angeles Tour over a year prior to introduce a new character to the Mario Kart series. This is the first tour since the Super Mario Kart Tour to include different ending music after the trailer's music, which is an arrangement of the "Goal & Score" fanfare from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, which serves as the goal and results theme for the Yoshi's Island track. This is also the first tour since the Sundae Tour, 17 tours prior, to not introduce any new gold item. Excluding tours that introduce re-routes of courses, this is the first tour to introduce both a new course and a classic course since the 2019 Paris Tour, and is also the first tour overall to introduce a new course, a classic course, and an R/T variant simultaneously. This is also the first tour since the Animal Tour ten tours prior to feature the Snap a Photo bonus challenge.

The Spring Celebration event that began in the previous tour continues through this tour. The thirteenth set of Expert Challenges begins in this tour. Extreme Challenges also debut in this tour.

This is the tenth tour in a row to share the same name as a previous tour.

Starting from day 2, players have to finish a race in the earliest incomplete course that is not in any of the ranked cups using the driver shown on the course's thumbnail every day to obtain the corresponding reward in the table below.
