End of a Grand Tour


As an old saying goes, all good things come to an end, and Mario Kart Tour will cease adding new content after the 2023 edition of Battle Tour. But this does not mean Mario Kart Tour is going end of service like Dr Mario World or Dragalia Lost. It just means after 2023's Battle Tour, all future tours will be reruns of past tours just like how after the Riding into Battle! Online Tourney, all future Super Smash Bros Ultimate Events are reruns of past events, with the Street Fighter 35th Anniversary Spirit Board Event being the only exception.

Having covered fourteen cities in the real world, in addition to introducing a few new tracks, it's time Mario Kart Tour wind down on new content because Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass is also approaching the end of the road, with Wave 6 being the final wave. Besides, we already got the Mii Racing Suits that we have often wished for, such as the Daisy and Waluigi Mii Racing Suits that did not appear in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Even Mii Racing Suits based on the Koopalings have been introduced in Mario Kart Tour. Perhaps it is time to wind down on getting on board the hype trains once new content is discontinued.

P.S. It turns out that the 2023 Battle Tour is actually where the reruns of past tours will begin.

Update: Wave 6 of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass finally came out on the 9th of November, 2023, and it is a spectacular way to end a massive DLC Pack. Several of the Mii Racing Suits from Mario Kart Tour are now in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, including the Daisy Mii Racing Suit.
