Samurai Tour: Difference between revisions

The '''Samurai Tour''' was the sixty-sixth tour of ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' which began on March 23, 2022, and ended on April 5, 2022. Fitting the theme, the tour added [[Mario]] wearing the [[Crazy Cap#Samurai Helmet|Samurai Helmet]] and [[Crazy Cap#Samurai Armor|Samurai Armor]] from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' as a playable character, as well as introducing [[Princess Peach|Peach]] in a heart-themed yukata (her overall appearance being based on her appearance in [[Bowser's Kingdom]] in ''Super Mario Odyssey''), a pink-colored [[Shy Guy|Shy Guy (Ninja)]], and Wave 2 of Mii Racing Suits. The tour also introduced many other Japanese-based items like the [[Warrior Wagon]] and the [[Origami Glider]]. [[Ninja Hideaway]] also returned as the featured course of the tour, coinciding with its appearance in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. Although this tour did not introduce any new courses—the first to do so since the [[Space Tour]] nine tours prior—it featured the debut of [[3DS Wario Shipyard]] and [[3DS Bowser's Castle]]'s R/T variants. This also currently makes this tour the only tour in 2022 to not introduce a new course. This tour's [[Coin Rush (Mario Kart Tour)|Coin Rush]] course was [[SNES Ghost Valley 1]], which was reused from the [[Halloween Tour (2020)|2020 Halloween Tour]]. The menu's background featured Ninja Manor as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the [[Ninja Tour]].
