The Sunshine Tour event will include a collaboration with Mario Kart World, showcasing Mario and Luigi in mechanic outfits and introducing four new karts for players to utilize.

Mario Kart Tour was initially launched in September 2019 and quickly became one of Nintendo's top-performing mobile games, grossing around $293 million globally by 2022. The game originally included gacha mechanics that drew criticism from players, but those features were eliminated in favor of a more straightforward in-game shop to enhance the user experience.
