Nintendo has unveiled a new Christmas event for Mario Kart Tour. This will be the latest in-game event for Mario Kart Tour and looks to provide fans with even more content to check out in the popular mobile installment in the Mario Kart series.Mario Kart Tour is no stranger to events, as ever since the mobile title launched, players have been treated to a steady stream of seasonal content to check out. For example, the game previously featured an Autumn Celebration series that introduced a bunch of fall and Halloween-flavored content for players. However, with winter settling in, the developer is looking to provide an appropriately themed event for the holiday season. As the Peach vs. Bowser Tour winds down, Mario Kart Tour has announced that its next event will have a Christmas theme. Known as Holiday Tour, gamers will be able to check out everything the new update has to offer when the festivities kick off on December 13 at 10 PM PT. Ahead of the new tour's launch, Nintendo gave players a sneak peek at what to expect when the update goes live.
Mario Kart Tour recently released a new trailer for the upcoming Holiday Tour, revealing that this latest event looks to bring a winter theme to the game with holiday costumes for numerous racers. Some of the characters sporting a festive look included Mario, Daisy, Bowser, and Yoshi. In addition, Mario and his friends appeared to drive Christmas-themed karts. In particular, Mario was racing in a vehicle that looked similar to a sleigh. Beyond these cosmetics, the trailer showed off the new GBA Snow Land course, which is coming with the new tour. A number of other “snowy courses” are also supposed to be present in the Holiday Tour.
In addition to this new trailer, the developer revealed that new Mii racing suits were coming to the game. These new outfits compose Wave 21 of Mii racing suits and include designs based on Santa and a Reindeer. According to the announcement, these new suits will arrive along with the Holiday Tour. Furthermore, the developer teased Wave 22, which is scheduled to launch on December 27.
While this announcement about the Holiday Tour is doubtlessly exciting for fans, it is not the only news surrounding the Mario Kart series. In addition to the updates for Mario Kart Tour, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe recently received a new round of content due to Wave 3 of the Booster Course Pass. This new wave introduced eight courses to the Switch game, including Maple Treeway and the Mario Kart 7 version of Rainbow Road. With so much content available in both these games, it seems like now is an excellent time to be a Mario Kart fan.
Mario Kart Tour is available now for mobile devices.
