The Night Tour is the ninety-ninth tour of Mario Kart Tour, which began on June 28, 2023 and ends on July 11, 2023. This tour introduces Rome Avanti, a new city course set in Rome, Italy, and also introduces Moonview Highway from Mario Kart Wii, marking its first appearance in the series as a classic course. As the name implies, the tour also includes other city courses set at night, such as New York Minute, Vancouver Velocity and Singapore Speedway, in addition to GCN Waluigi Stadium's first reappearance, immediately following its debut in the previous tour. The inclusion of Vancouver Velocity may also reference Canada Day, which occurs during this tour on July 1. This is the first tour since the 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 the New York Tour, the first tour of the game; the first tour to feature the reverse variant of New York Minute 2 since the 2019 Holiday Tour, the game's seventh tour; and the first tour to feature New York Minute B, the battle track based on New York Minute, since the 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 since the introduction of Funky Kong in the Jungle Tour eighty-one tours prior, being the 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 course is New York Minute, which was reused from the New York Tour and the 2022 Autumn Tour. The menu's background features the Colosseum as the tour's landmark.

The fourteenth set of Expert Challenges was introduced in this tour. This is the second set of Expert Challenges to last for seven tours instead of six; the first was from the 2023 New Year's Tour to the 2023 Ninja Tour.

Today's Challenge

Players' most recently used kart and glider are chosen, and favorite and favored ones have extra priority. Opponents are arranged randomly. On day 1 of this tour, players finish a race in DS Twilight House in the Mii Cup using the Light Green Mii Racing Suit for a free pipe launch. Starting from day 2, players have to finish a race in the earliest incomplete course that is not in any of the ranked cups using the driver shown on the course's thumbnail every day to obtain the corresponding reward in the table below. Once all of the courses are completed, the courses are selected at random.
