|
| '''Neo Bowser City''' (known as '''Koopa City''' in the British English version) is the third course of the [[Star Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. It takes place in a rainy, neon-lit, technologically advanced city themed after [[Bowser]]; it is the only Bowser-themed course in the ''Mario Kart'' series to not be a version of [[Bowser's Castle#Mario Kart series|his castle]]. Neon signs are everywhere and images of Bowser himself and his signature emblem can be seen in various places. It is the second course in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series that takes place entirely in the rain, the first being [[GBA Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. Neo Bowser City is one of the few city-based courses in the ''Mario Kart'' series to not feature any vehicles as obstacles.
| | ==Description== |
| | | The course takes place in a brightly lit, rainy city. Most of the course is winding roads with moving neon arrow railings. There is a small upward spiral that goes up a tower. There is a tunnel close to the end of the course that leads to a road that is covered with puddles. At the end, there is a ramp that uses the glider. This course's theme is a remixed version of [[Toad Circuit]]/[[Mario Circuit#Mario Kart 7|Mario Circuit]] and the title theme of ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. It also contains remixed parts from the previous installments such as of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'s'' [[Toad's Turnpike]] and ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'s'' [[Mario Circuit]].<ref>http://www.ign.com/videos/2011/11/21/mario-kart-7-neo-bowser-city-footage</ref> |
| Neo Bowser City also appears as a retro course in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. In the former games, it is the first course of the [[Bell Cup]], a cup that comes with the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] add-on content pack for the original ''Mario Kart 8'', while in the latter game, it was introduced in the [[Tokyo Tour]].
| |
| | |
| The course's music incorporates themes from several other ''Mario Kart'' courses: the [[3DS Toad Circuit|Toad Circuit]] and [[3DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] theme and the title theme from ''Mario Kart 7'', the [[N64 Toad's Turnpike|Toad's Turnpike]] theme from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', and the [[Luigi Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Luigi Circuit]] and [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart Wii)|Mario Circuit]] theme from ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The theme was rearranged in the "Circuit (Mario Kart 7)" remix in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' in a jazzier style more in line with the circuit theme it originally remixed.
| |
| | |
| ==''Mario Kart 7''== | |
| ===Course layout===
| |
| This course takes place in a brightly lit city in the rain. A large percentage of the course is comprised of winding roads with moving neon arrow railings. Traction is decreased due to the rain. There is a tunnel close to the end of the course, that leads to a small upward spiral section that is covered with [[puddle]]s around a tower. A [[Glide Ramp]] then appears just before the end. A billboard is seen near it with a picture of either Bowser (said picture is his artwork from ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''), the player's view, or an animated "Overtake" ad from [[3DS Toad Circuit|Toad Circuit]]. If gliding players veer left (right in mirror mode) from the starting line, they can fly over a Koopa Clown Car with a fan to give them enough height to skip the first bend; in higher engine classes, however, they must steer back quickly to avoid hitting the wall.
| |
| | |
| The track itself begins with an S-bend; however, players must steer back quickly to avoid hitting the wall. Just before the player enters the air vent area, it is possible to be pushed through the guardrails by a heavier opponent. After that, the race continues under a tower with air ducts. Then there are two soft turns and a red tunnel. After many turns, the player exits and reaches the winding part of the road, which consists of three hairpin turns. Then, there is a shorter tunnel that leads to a road curved to the left covered with puddles. At the end, there is a glide ramp back to the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]].
| |
| | |
| ===Shortcuts===
| |
| *After the S-bend, players can cut through the mud with a Mushroom. They must steer back in quickly to avoid hitting the wall.
| |
| *Near the finish line, if players use a Mushroom or the [[Koopa Clown Car]] air current, they can glide through a gap on the S-bend under the red tunnel.
| |
| *The last U-turn of the middle section with no railings can be skipped by drifting off the edge to cut the gap. This is not very viable for races as it saves a minimal amount of time whilst also being very risky, due to it being very precise; a sign with [[Bowser]]'s head on it can also block the way and cause the player to fall out of bounds.
| |
| *A glitch shortcut can be performed in the space below the S-bend. By landing on it, turning around, leaning backwards off the edge of the area (which is heavy off-road) to gain an upwards angle and using a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], it is possible to go through the bottom of the bridge and land on it. If done quickly, this saves around six to seven seconds.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bHVR1zthbI Former world record using the glitch and the turn-skip</ref>

| ==''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
| |
| [[File:MK8-DLC-Course-3DS NeoBowserCity.jpg|250px|thumb|{{classic|3DS|Neo Bowser City}} in ''Mario Kart 8'']] | |
| Neo Bowser City makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' as a retro course in the second DLC pack [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] and as part of the base content of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is the first race of the [[Bell Cup]], and as such is the only course in ''8'' and ''8 Deluxe'' that first appeared in ''7'' to be the opening course of any cup. The city background is more futuristic in design and features more distinctive architecture such as skyscrapers, glass tunnels, elevators, and more LED screens, instead of having mushroom hills in the far background. Some of the buildings are reused from [[Mute City]]. The blue sky is now black. The finish line banner has been redesigned, featuring hexagon patterns behind the ''Mario Kart'' logo in light blue, and on the two neon pillars (previously one) supporting the banner. The new Bowser insignia that is now used in this course is also modeled around a hexagon. It is now possible to hit the banner when gliding (causing the banner to spin), like in [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]], {{classic-link|DS|Wario Stadium}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Tokyo Blur}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}.
| |
| | |
| [[File:MK8 3DS Neo Bowser City Starting Line.jpg|thumb|300px|left|The course as seen from the starting line]]
| |
| The blimp with a screen on it has been removed. Billboards now show an animated picture of the name of the course, along with Bowser in it, instead of displaying an ongoing video of the player's point of view, an animated ad, and a still picture of Bowser. The signs and animated picture display the text "Neo Bowser City," even outside of American versions, where the name of the course is different. A similar discrepancy occurs in {{classic-link|3DS|Music Park}} (called "Melody Motorway" in the British English version). The rails with scrolling neon arrows have been redesigned into neon rails with light arrows on top of them.
| |
| | |
| The overall course layout follows the same path, but has received a few minor modifications. A trickable drop-off has been added at the entrance to the tunnel in place of a downhill slope. The three-quarter turn into the glider ramp at the end has been modified into an anti-gravity section, complete with spin boost pillars, while the water puddles have been removed. The beginning of the turn is also a rounded 90° turn instead of it being circular. The Koopa Clown Car air current found near the S-bend has been moved to behind the banner, instead of beside it. The music is also roughly the same, similar to {{classic-link|Wii|Mushroom Gorge}}, {{classic-link|Wii|Grumble Volcano}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|DK Jungle}}, though electric guitar and a new synth bassline have been added - the original bassline still plays in the background, but it is noticeably quieter due to the track receiving slight high-pass equalization. Bowser's minions - [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, [[Dry Bones]], [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Fire Bro]]s., and [[Boomerang Bro]]s. - are spectators in this course (for unknown reasons, Fire Bros. and Boomerang Bros. do not appear in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''). In addition, like in the rainy courses in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', rain drops flow down the screens of both the GamePad and the TV, just to add a minor effect.

| |
| | |
| ===Shortcuts===
| |
| *Like with the turn after the S-bend, it is now possible to use a Mushroom or Star to cut through the mud on the anti-gravity segment.

| | |
| ==''Mario Kart Tour''==
| |
| [[File:MKT Neo Bowser City Scene.jpg|thumb|right|The course in ''Mario Kart Tour'']] | |
| Neo Bowser City reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Tokyo Tour]]. Appearance-wise, it features elements taken from both its ''Mario Kart 7'' and ''Mario Kart 8'' versions, though it contains more cues from the former due to its lack of anti-gravity. The city now has more gray and navy hues than blue, the screen near the starting line now shows four players racing, and the bridge is now a glass tunnel. Some buildings have been redesigned to resemble more traditional Bowser castles, while neon signs with the course name can be seen throughout the track. The rain is only present if the game is not in battery saver mode. In addition, some of the Bowser insignias have reverted back to their standard appearance, while others keep their ''Mario Kart 8'' appearances.
| |
| | |
| The course also appears as '''Neo Bowser City R''' (reversed), '''Neo Bowser City T''' (with ramps), and '''Neo Bowser City R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the regular variant in the Tokyo Tour, while the latter debuted in the [[New Year's Tour (2020)|2020 New Year's Tour]]. In the R and R/T variants, there are no gliding sections. In the T variant, the gliding section is optional.

| | *At the very beginning of the race, just before everyone enters the air vent area, it is possible to be pushed through the guardrails by a heavier opponent. This causes the player to helplessly fall to the ground, as if they had fallen off of the course normally. Lakitu will then pick them up as normal and then place them just before the curve. |
| | *The "Overtake" ads found in [[Toad Circuit]] also appear here. However, they are animated and are shown on the screens of the track. |

| |
| *When exiting the tunnel in the ''Mario Kart 8'' version of the course, a spotlight with Bowser's [[emblem]] points to the sky, possibly referencing the {{wp|Bat-Signal}} from ''{{wp|Batman}}'' media.
| |
| *On August 18, 2016, a tweet from @NintendoAmerica gave players a "pop quiz" to race around Neo Bowser City and post their best time with a photograph as proof.<ref>@NintendoAmerica (August 18, 2016). "''Pop quiz! Race through Neo Bowser City in #MK7 and we might share the best times! Prove it w/ a pic. #NintendoSummer''" ({{file link|Twitter NintendoSummer 2016 Pop Quiz MK7.jpg|image}}). Twitter.</ref>
| |
| *In the internal data of ''Mario Kart 7'', Neo Bowser City is referred to as Advanced Circuit. This suggests that the track was originally meant to be designated as a circuit course, which the ''Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack'' liner notes also imply, with the references to the circuit themes from ''Wii'' and ''7'' in the song for Neo Bowser City being remnants of this idea. It is unknown if the track was conceptualized as a Bowser Circuit or a futuristic city, or if it was originally meant to be a more standard circuit course.
