We are reaching the end of the Rome-themed chapter in Mario Kart Tour and Nintendo has shared a first look at what is around the corner for the mobile game, as it announced that the Pipe Tour will be speeding off the starting line from 12th July.
The last tour introduced a brand new city circuit in the form of Rome Avanti, and this one follows suit with the addition of Piranha Pipe Pipeline — a fresh course that will see you navigating a series of twisted warp pipes.
As we have come to expect, the announcement of a new tour also brings with it the reveal of the upcoming Mii Racing suits. Showcased in the following tweet from @mariokarttourEN, the Wiggler suit will be making its game debut in the Pipe Tour, complete with a flower helmet and all.
What are you excited to see in the Pipe Tour? Drift down to the comments and let us know.

A little strange that both Piranha Plant Cove and Piranha Plant Pipeline will be in Wave 6 of the Booster Course Pass, eh? Though it makes more sense when you find out that Pipeline is named "Pipe Canyon" in Japan, meaning it doesn't have the same overlap there (Cove is "Piranha Plant Temple" fyi).
By the way, this music is incredible, and I'm sure it'll only go even harder once we hear it in 8 Deluxe.
I think this is a sign of a Booster Course Pass 2. I don't think they'd release 2 "Piranha Plant" courses in the same wave so we'd probably see something like Piranha Plant Cove in wave 6 and Piranha Plant Pipeline in wave 1 of the 2nd pass.
There are still so many cool tracks left in Tour that I hope there will be a Booster Pass 2 (or MK9 on the Switch 2 depending on when that one releases)
and the other kongs?
Looking forward to racing on this track in Tour and most likely eventually 8 Deluxe, too!
By the way, didn't expect a new Pauline alt along with Wiggler, nice!
@Grumblevolcano I wouldn't say this is a sign that there will be a Booster Course Pass 2, but I'd love if that were the case, the less things left behind in Tour as that will unfortunately shut down at some point the better!
Wait, is that… country Pauline? Need it lol
This game still gets update. People love Mario Kart.
Could someone remind me why is it that Pauline is still not in Mario Kart 8 yet??
So Pauline is definitely gonna be in the final wave of MK8D's dlc then right? They keep showing her in these Tour ads.
I wonder what'll happen after that final wave though? Will we get costumes? Battle Courses? Another pass? Or nothing until the next Mario Kart? They're gonna have to clarify that, especially as Tour keeps getting more stuff
Hopefully Piranha Plant Pipeline will be antigravity for its appearance in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, making it sorta like the tracks Sand Ocean: Pipe from F-Zero X and Port Town: Long Pipe in F-Zero GX.
being able to do loops like the og ds dokan course w antigravity would really make this stand out in 8
@Chibi_Manny Because Wiggler
If Petey Piranha is the main star in the spotlight, why did Pauline get a new costume then?
They forgot the homeless people in the LA track. Sunset Wilds looks very much like the gba-track. Unlike previous super circuit tracks where they changed everything.
