Mario Kart Tour's Exclusive Piranha Plant Pipeline Track Returns in Pipe Tour Event

Mario Kart Tour Brings Back Its Exclusive Piranha Plant Pipeline Track With Pipe Tour Event Nintendo continues to delight dedicated kart racers with new ways to experience the Mario Kart universe.

For fans looking to try a racetrack unique to the mobile franchise, Mario Kart Tour’s ongoing Pipe Tour event offers an exclusive opportunity.

Running from June 9, 2025, through July 22, 2025, the Pipe Tour returns to Mario Kart Tour on iOS and Android, featuring the much-requested Piranha Plant Pipeline—a course unavailable in any other mainline Mario Kart game, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the upcoming Mario Kart World. Piranha Plant Pipeline debuted in Mario Kart Tour and quickly became a favorite among players for its inventive layout and theme.

Notably, when Nintendo rolled out the extensive Booster Course Pass for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Nintendo Switch, Piranha Plant Pipeline was the only new course introduced in Tour that wasn't included in the downloadable content expansion.

Therefore, the Pipe Tour remains the sole venue for players to experience this unique racetrack. After ceasing the addition of new content in 2023 with the Anniversary Tour, Mario Kart Tour shifted to re-releasing its most popular events.

The current Pipe Tour marks the second rerun of this event, following its introduction in 2023 and its first return in 2024.

All subsequent tours have consisted of previously launched content, reaffirming the game’s focus on celebrating its existing track roster and community engagement.

Nintendo’s strategy has allowed new and returning players alike to relive the mobile game’s highlights before potential future changes to the service. Reflecting on the importance of these periodic events, a Nintendo spokesperson summarized, "Ongoing tours in Mario Kart Tour offer players the chance to revisit unique courses and content that define the mobile experience." This sentiment is echoed by fans across online communities, including a user credited as Grumblevolcano, who helped spotlight the event's return. Mario Kart Tour remains a significant part of Nintendo's broader Mario Kart franchise, having reached over 200 million downloads worldwide since its launch in 2019 and consistently ranking as one of Nintendo's most-played mobile games.

With the Pipe Tour event live, Piranha Plant Pipeline stands as a testament to the game's ongoing appeal.

For players eager to experience every aspect of the Mario Kart universe, now is the time to revisit or dive into Mario Kart Tour via the App Store or Google Play eShop before the event concludes on July 22, 2025.
