The ''' | The '''Night Tour''' was the ninety-ninth tour of ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', which began on June 28, 2023 and ended on July 11, 2023. This tour introduced [[Rome Avanti]], a [[New course|new]] city course set in [[Rome]], {{wp|Italy}}, as well as [[Wii Moonview Highway|Moonview Highway]] from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', marking its first appearance in the series as a [[classic course]]. Fitting with Rome Avanti's theme, [[Donkey Kong]] in a gladiator outfit was introduced as a new driver, the first and only variant of a [[Kong]] character. The tour also includes other city courses set at night (hence its name), namely [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]], [[Tour Vancouver Velocity|Vancouver Velocity]], and [[Tour Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway]]. The inclusion of Vancouver Velocity may also reference {{wp|Canada Day}}, which occurred during this tour on July 1, and New York Minute may also reference {{wp|Independence Day (United States)|Independence Day}}, which also occurred during this tour on July 4. This was the first tour since the [[Paris Tour (2019)|2019 Paris Tour]] to introduce both a new city course and a classic course, and the second tour in a row to add three courses simultaneously. It was also the first tour to feature the normal variant of New York Minute since its debut in the [[New York Tour]] (the first tour of the game), the first tour to feature New York Minute 2R since its debut in the [[Holiday Tour (2019)|2019 Holiday Tour]] (the seventh tour of the game), and the first tour to feature New York Minute B since its debut in the [[Autumn Tour (2022)|2022 Autumn Tour]]. This tour saw [[GCN Waluigi Stadium]]'s first reappearance immediately following its debut in the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2023)|previous tour]], making this the first tour to feature a course introduced in the previous tour since the second [[Peach vs. Bowser Tour (November–December 2022)|Peach vs. Bowser Tour]]. This tour marked the longest gap between appearances of a bonus challenge, as it marked the first appearance of the [[Vs. Mega]] Donkey Kong bonus challenge since the New York Tour. | ||
