'''Amsterdam Drift''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It is set in [[Amsterdam]], the {{wp|Netherlands}}. Like with a majority of the game's other [[New course|city courses]], this course has three routes: Amsterdam Drift, '''Amsterdam Drift 2''', and '''Amsterdam Drift 3'''. The first route debuted in the city's namesake tour, the [[Amsterdam Tour]], the second route debuted in the [[Metropolitan Tour]], and the third route debuted in the [[Peach vs. Bowser Tour (November–December 2022)|November–December 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour]]. The first route takes players through the {{wp|Zaanse Schans}} and the streets of central Amsterdam, the second route takes players into the {{wp|Canals of Amsterdam|canals of the city}}, and the third route takes racers through the {{wp|Keukenhof}} tulip fields and some parts of central Amsterdam. Amsterdam Drift is the first city course to have all three of its routes released in the same year, which would be followed by [[Tour Athens Dash|Athens Dash]], [[Tour Rome Avanti|Rome Avanti]], and [[Tour Madrid Drive|Madrid Drive]] in 2023. Additionally, the first route starts in the opposite direction compared to the other two. | '''Amsterdam Drift''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

In the standard layout, the racers start the course on {{wp|Damrak}} street, in between the {{wp|Royal Palace of Amsterdam}} and {{wp|De Bijenkorf}}, but unlike the first Amsterdam Drift, racers now head away from {{wp|Amsterdam Centraal station}}, where they then take a slight right turn before heading into the {{wp|Canals of Amsterdam|canals}} of the city.

Racers take a sharp left turn in the canals and maneuver in between many [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] with currents coming out of them. A serpentine turn is taken before heading to a straightaway. Here, there is a fork in the road where players can either go straight ahead then take a 90 degree left turn, or immediately take a 90 degree left turn then take a right turn after. If going straight, racers can choose to use an air current to briefly jump out of the water onto a boat in the canal before driving back in. When both routes meet up again, they lead to a ramp that leads out of the canal again, and back to the surface outside the Amsterdam Centraal Station. One final left turn is taken before reaching the finishing line. | ||
The course also appears as '''Amsterdam Drift 2R''' (reversed), '''Amsterdam Drift 2T''' (with ramps), and '''Amsterdam Drift 2R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the normal variant in the [[Metropolitan Tour]], while the latter debuted in the [[Anniversary Tour (2022)|2022 Anniversary Tour]]. In the T and R/T variants, racers are forced to go straight at the fork in the road. In the R/T variant, racers can use a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] to glide over a large part of the canal section. | The course also appears as '''Amsterdam Drift 2R''' (reversed), '''Amsterdam Drift 2T''' (with ramps), and '''Amsterdam Drift 2R/T''' (reversed with ramps).

Amsterdam Drift returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 4 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', where it appears as the first course of the [[Fruit Cup]]. It is an expanded and combined version of the three routes for the course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and has received significant visual upgrades compared to how it appeared originally. The music has been shortened by four measures; a jaw harp, bells, and whistling have been added to the instrumentation, and the vocals play for an additional bar in the portion preceding the loop. The {{wp|Canals of Amsterdam|canal}} section is much more saturated than before, and is now a vibrant blue hue when underwater. The water itself is also more transparent when viewed from the surface. The boat above the canals now faces the opposite direction to accommodate for the route now being done backwards. The minimap has also been rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. | |||

The course begins with the first route for the course, with racers starting on the {{wp|Damrak}} street, driving past the {{wp|Amsterdam Centraal station|Amsterdam Centraal Station}} and the {{wp|Montelbaanstoren}} before turning left and gliding to the {{wp|Zaanse Schans}}. Racers pass the windmills before eventually turning back into the city, passing a tram as they do. The trams knock over racers that hit them, much like the [[Train (obstacle)|train]]s in [[Super Bell Subway]] and {{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}}. After a sharp left turn, they reach lap 2. | The course begins with the first route for the course, with racers starting on the {{wp|Damrak}} street, driving past the {{wp|Amsterdam Centraal station|Amsterdam Centraal Station}} and the {{wp|Montelbaanstoren}} before turning left and gliding to the {{wp|Zaanse Schans}}.

The third and final lap begins with Amsterdam Drift 3R; racers turn right twice and pass another tram, before following a road connecting the first and third routes (which is unused in ''Tour''). Racers are then lead to Amsterdam Drift 3, facing the route's regular direction, as they enter the canals again. Players come out at the tulip fields, avoiding [[Piranha Plant]]s until they drive under the {{wp|Rijksmuseum}} and the {{wp|Bloemenmarkt}}. After a few sharp turns, racers finally reach the finishing line. | The third and final lap begins with Amsterdam Drift 3R; racers turn right twice and pass another tram, before following a road connecting the first and third routes (which is unused in ''Tour'').

Unlike most other courses using arrow fields, Amsterdam Drift can be driven in reverse for a time without [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] picking up drivers, with the third lap route being used; however, unlike {{classic|N64|Kalimari Desert}} and {{classic-link|Tour| London Loop}}, this does not trigger any unusual behavior. | Unlike most other courses using arrow fields, Amsterdam Drift can be driven in reverse for a time without [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] picking up drivers, with the third lap route being used; however, unlike {{classic|N64|Kalimari Desert}} and {{classic-link|Tour| London Loop}}, this does not trigger any unusual behavior. | ||
Amsterdam Drift is one of three courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to appear in the fourth wave, alongside {{classic-link|Tour|Bangkok Rush}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Singapore Speedway}}. It is the only one that is not in the [[Boomerang Cup]]. Amsterdam Drift's appearance in the ''Booster Course Pass'' also makes it one of five courses in the ''Mario Kart'' series that allow racers to run into other racers going in the opposite direction, the others being [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', {{Classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}}, {{Classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, and {{classic-link|Tour|Rome Avanti}}. | |||
