It's MAR10 Day, and Nintendo is celebrating in more ways than one. Having previously offered discounts on a select few games, Mario Kart Tour is also getting involved. Following on from the previous Snow Tour, this time we've got the "Mario Tour".
Lasting until March 23rd, it introduces a new Tokyo Blur course – simply namely Tokyo Blur 4 – whilst also adding a new Mario variant, using his racing outfit from Super Mario Odyssey. A new 2-Player Challenge has also been added, letting players team up to earn event tokens in Multiplayer mode.
We're also closing in on the game's 18-month anniversary and, as part of that, Nintendo has outlined a short roadmap of what to expect. A "Yoshi Tour" is next on March 23rd, bringing players an anniversary login bonus, special challenges, and new tour gifts.
There's also a sneak peek for the following event, which is believed to be Wario-related, due to the garlic imagery. That one begins on April 6th, so we'll be waiting a little while for further details.
Will you be jumping back in for these anniversary celebrations? Share your thoughts below.

Well Happy MAR10 day! Wahooo!
Happy mar10 day.
Letsa GO
Great playing this and MK8D on Switch.
Wish Mario Kart 8 got this kind of support.
This is why Nintendo should make a switch Mario kart game that is more like tour. Different tracks and new skins constantly added and changing. They could add other Nintendo characters and tracks related to them. I know micro transactions suck but that would be the only way this would work (sadly) but it would still be amazing. As long as there wasn’t that weird points system.
Let's a Go Bois!
Happy Mar10 Day!
Happy Mar10 day! Personally I’d love to see a new Mario Kart game return to Double Dash. At the very least have it as an option. The switch is begging for that mode with the joycons. It’s crazy to me that Nintendo has not gone back to that yet.
Imagine the next Mario Kart Game would be themed on this world tour concept, with tracks from all around the globe and a big character roster?(Like Smash). Be brilliant, here's hoping...!
I agree, bring back Double Dash or at least a co-op option!!!
Nintendo should be something that Switch owners will be happy about, like, announcing some Gamecube or N64 Online or maybe add some more Mario games to NES or SNES Online. I guess they are doing that sale...but still.
I've actually only just started playing this (this will be my second full tour) and it's a lot better than I thought it would be. Maybe I'm just pining for a Mario Kart 9, but this is satisfying that itch. Then again, I'm worried about how fluid this is and that MK9 won't be here anytime soon. That said, they did release ACNH after Pocket Camp so anything is possible...
...Where was I...? Oh yeah, great game, how do I add more friends, can't wait for MK9.
This tour will be a lot of fun. It's been a while since I played Mario Kart Tour, so I'm looking forward to it.
A new track for the 1 1/2 anniversary! Nice! New gifts are always welcome. This game is very fun. I just wish the online multiplayer didn't have that awful lag -_-
Oh and for the whiners that just cannot shut up about "boo hoo why MK8 doesn't have this too" and all their vitriol about people enjoying this game:
