The '''Baby Rosalina Tour''' was the thirteenth tour of ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', which began on March 11, 2020 and ended on March 24, 2020. It was the first tour to be named directly after a character, and the second tour to introduce only one spotlight driver: [[Baby Rosalina]] in a detective outfit, while [[Waluigi|Waluigi (Bus Driver)]] returned from the [[London Tour]] as the spotlight driver for the second week. Additionally, [[Rosalina]] was made available as the third Super spotlight character after the Mario Bros. in the [[Mario Bros. Tour]]. London Loop was once again the featured course of the tour through the new course [[London Loop 2]], a reference to the fact that {{wp|Sherlock Holmes}}, a famous fictional detective, is based in London. The menu's background featured the [[Big Ben]] and some buildings from the [[London Loop]] courses as the landmark for this tour, which was reused from the [[London Tour]]. This was the first tour to feature four R/T classic courses instead of three.
