It is the first time this has happened since the December 2022 [[Peach vs. Bowser Tour (November–December 2022)|Peach vs Bowser Tour]]. The inclusion of Vancouver Velocity may also reference {{wp|Canada Day}}, which occured during this tour on July 1, and New York Minute may also reference {{wp|Independence Day (United States)|Independence Day}}, which also occured during this tour on July 4. This is 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 is 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 the reverse variant of New York Minute 2 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 is the first tour to introduce a variant of a [[Kong]] character, namely [[Donkey Kong]]. It is also the first to introduce a driver with the [[Banana Barrels]] [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] since the introduction of [[Funky Kong]] in the [[Jungle Tour]] eighty-one tours prior, being the [[Mii|Light Green Mii Racing Suit]]. Additionally, all Shy Guy colors from ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' have returned in ''Mario Kart Tour'' as of this tour.

This tour's [[Coin Rush (Mario Kart Tour)|Coin Rush]] course is New York Minute, which was reused from the [[New York Tour]] and the [[Autumn Tour (2022)|2022 Autumn Tour]]. The menu's background features the [[Colosseum]] as the tour's landmark.
