'''Berlin Byways''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It is based on [[Berlin]], the capital city of {{wp|Germany}}. It has three routes, named Berlin Byways, '''Berlin Byways 2''', and '''Berlin Byways 3'''. The first route made its debut in the [[Metropolitan Tour]], the second debuted in the [[Berlin Tour]], and the third debuted in the [[Anniversary Tour (2022)|2022 Anniversary Tour]]. The course visits various landmarks of the city it is based on, including a section featuring the [[Berlin Wall]] with [[Whomp]]s filling the gaps as obstacles (possibly in reference to {{wp|fall of the Berlin Wall|its fall in 1989}}), and the streets of the city leading into the {{wp|Berlin Hauptbahnhof}} train station. The third variant is the first course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to have moving traffic consisting of [[Car (obstacle)|cars]] and [[truck]]s. Additionally, the third route's starting line is in a different location compared to the other two. Despite being labeled as the second route, Berlin Byways 2 debuted more than a year before Berlin Byways did. This marks the first instance of a city course's layouts being released out of numerical order. The first route starts in the opposite direction compared to the other two. | '''Berlin Byways''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

Racers start | Racers start besides the {{wp|Berlin Cathedral}}, facing away from the [[Brandenburg Gate]]. After a slight right turn, players pass the {{wp|Rotes Rathaus}} and drive along the [[Berlin Wall]], avoiding [[Whomp]]s as they navigate the bendy road. After passing the wall, racers can drive either besides or under the {{wp|Oberbaum Bridge}} in a long straight-away, which then turns to the right before reaching the {{wp|Schiller Monument (Berlin)|Schiller Monument}}. Racers can chose to go either left or right around the monument, however both meet up very shortly after. After driving down a short, narrow staircase, players navigate along a small dirt path in the {{wp|Tiergarten (park)|Tiergarten}} before driving on the long road behind the Brandenburg Gate. After driving through the large gate while avoiding a pair of [[Thwomp]]s, and taking a slight left, racers drive to the finish line. | ||
At the start of the {{wp|Tiergarten (park)|Tiergarten}} section after the first curve, there is a path with slightly darker grass with a lower relief to the right that can only be taken with the use of a [[Mushroom]]. Once taken, it leaves racers to the street leading to the Brandenburg Gate. | At the start of the {{wp|Tiergarten (park)|Tiergarten}} section after the first curve, there is a path with slightly darker grass with a lower relief to the right that can only be taken with the use of a [[Mushroom]].

In the R variant, both train tracks are blocked off by fences. In the T variant, there is a second glide ramp where racers exit the train station. In the R/T variant, racers drive along a large segment of train tracks that was inaccessible before, most of the stationary cars on the road are gone, and there are four [[Thwomp]]s at the Brandenburg Gate. | The course also appears as '''Berlin Byways 2R''' (reversed), '''Berlin Byways 2T''' (with ramps), and '''Berlin Byways 2R/T''' (reversed with ramps).

In both cases, the exclusive sections are removed from the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' version of the course. | ||

The course also appears as '''Berlin Byways 3R''' (reversed), '''Berlin Byways 3T''' (with ramps), and '''Berlin Byways 3R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the normal variant in the [[Anniversary Tour (2022)|2022 Anniversary Tour]], while the latter debuted in the [[Anniversary Tour (2023)|2023 Anniversary Tour]]. In all three variants, there is significantly less moving traffic, the traffic has been reduced to one lane, and there are stationary vehicles along the track. In the R variant, the pink pickup truck is still present, but its bed is now empty. In the T variant, the only moving traffic is two trucks with surfboards, and racers briefly follow the route of Berlin Byways 2 before using a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] to return to the track. | The course also appears as '''Berlin Byways 3R''' (reversed), '''Berlin Byways 3T''' (with ramps), and '''Berlin Byways 3R/T''' (reversed with ramps).

Berlin Byways returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' downloadable content. It is the first course of the [[Moon Cup]], and was added in the third wave of the DLC. It has received significant visual upgrades compared to its appearance in ''Mario Kart Tour''. The cars from Berlin Byways 3 return in this version of the course, and follow the same path they did in that route, making this the second course in the pass with traffic, after {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}}, and the second course in the series altogether to feature traffic that doesn't follow the route of the entire course, after [[Mushroom City]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. They now use the same designs as the vehicles seen in {{classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}} and <small>DS</small> Shroom Ridge, meaning that the pickup truck that holds the Piranha Plant from Berlin Byways 3 does not return, instead every pickup truck has a surfboard. Additionally, all cargo trucks and surfboard trucks have coins on top. The music now features clapping throughout the opening portion, and additional higher pitched synths were also added. The brass instruments are also more audible and pronounced, and a flute was added to the orchestral segment. | |||

The first lap is based on Berlin Byways 2, making Berlin Byways the first ''Tour'' city course in the Booster Course Pass to not have the first lap be based on its first route (the other being {{classic-link|Tour|Madrid Drive}}). Racers start next to the {{wp|Berlin Cathedral}}, facing towards the [[Brandenburg Gate]]. After the race begins, they drive under it; there are currently only [[Item Box]]es beneath it, but this will change throughout the race. Afterward, they merge into traffic on the {{wp|Straße des 17. Juni}} heading straight for the {{wp|Berlin Victory Column}} before taking a right turn around it. At this point, the traffic takes another right through an [[arrow field]], while players instead turn left into the train station. The train can still be driven through, and the Item Box inside is now a Double Item Box. From here, players drive past the {{wp|Berlin Cathedral}} and return to the starting line. | The first lap is based on Berlin Byways 2, making Berlin Byways the first ''Tour'' city course in the Booster Course Pass to not have the first lap be based on its first route (the other being {{classic-link|Tour|Madrid Drive}}).

The third and final lap is based on the first route of Berlin Byways. Racers turn right and pass the [[Berlin Wall]]. Unlike in ''Tour'', the Whomps have now left cracks in the road where they land. Players then drive either way around the {{wp|Schiller Monument (Berlin)|Schiller Monument}} before going through the Tiergarten. Players end the race by going against traffic on the Straße des 17. Juni again, going under the Brandenburg Gate (which now only has Thwomps), and crossing the finish line. | The third and final lap is based on the first route of Berlin Byways.

The minimap has been rotated approximately 120° clockwise. The peninsula used for Berlin Byways 2T is now blocked off by fences and has been removed from the minimap, and the course uses an unused road connecting the Schiller Monument to the Brandenburg Gate, making Berlin Byways the second/third ''Tour'' city course to include roads that were unused at the time of their appearance in the Booster Course Pass, after | The minimap has been rotated approximately 120° clockwise.

Berlin Byways is one of three ''Mario Kart Tour'' courses in the wave overall, alongside {{classic|Tour|London Loop}} and [[Merry Mountain]]. | |||
