'''Singapore Speedway''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It is set in {{wp|Singapore}}, and made its debut in the city's namesake tour, the [[Singapore Tour]].

This course has three routes named Singapore Speedway, '''Singapore Speedway 2''', and '''Singapore Speedway 3'''. The second route debuted in the [[Ocean Tour]], while the third debuted in the [[Winter Tour (2023)|2023 Winter Tour]]. The first route has a strong focus on the {{wp|Marina Bay Sands}}, the second route takes racers through the {{wp|Gardens by the Bay}} and the {{wp|Helix Bridge}}, and the third route takes racers over the {{wp|ArtScience Museum}} and through {{wp|Chinatown (Singapore)|Chinatown}}. The first and second routes have the racers go around Singapore counterclockwise; however, the third route has them go around clockwise instead. This course uses a unique music arrangement when racers are in Chinatown; making it one of two city courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' whose music changes depending on where in the course racers are, alongside [[Madrid Drive]]. | This course has three routes named Singapore Speedway, '''Singapore Speedway 2''', and '''Singapore Speedway 3'''.

Most buildings, including generic skyscrapers, as well as certain routes, match up with their respective placements in the actual Central Area. This is one of two real world city courses to lack any in-game sponsor advertisements, the other being Athens Dash. | ||

Racers drive along a brief straightaway before going down a slight downhill slope leading to the {{wp|Central Area, Singapore|Central Area}}. It takes a slight right on a divided road, then takes two sharp lefts to a [[Dash Panel|dash panel]] and a [[Cannon (Mario Kart series)|circus cannon]] leading to the top of {{wp|Marina Bay Sands}}. The entrance to {{wp|Chinatown, Singapore|Chinatown}} can be seen in the area. After that, the course features a shallow [[Underwater driving|underwater]] {{wp|infinity pool}} with [[Innertube Goomba]]s. On the side of the pool, there are several dash panels. Next, there is a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] with two following [[Ring (Mario Kart series)|boost rings]] that take racers across the grandstand of {{wp|The Float @ Marina Bay}} with the {{wp|Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay|Esplanade Theatres}} in the background. Racers then go underneath the stands and make a sharp left afterwards to the finish line. In the course, a [[blimp]] with the ''Mario Kart Tour'' logo can be found in the background. | ||
The course also appears as '''Singapore Speedway R''' (reversed), '''Singapore Speedway T''' (with ramps), and '''Singapore Speedway R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R and R/T variants, racers can bounce off of a blimp. In the T variant, racers briefly drive on a part of the stands that is now free of spectators. In the R/T variant, the starting line is now located in the infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands, making this course one of five courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to not start in the same location as the original, the others being [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|3DS Rock Rock Mountain T]], [[3DS Rainbow Road|3DS Rainbow Road T, 3DS Rainbow Road R/T]], and [[Tour Athens Dash|Athens Dash R/T]]. | The course also appears as '''Singapore Speedway R''' (reversed), '''Singapore Speedway T''' (with ramps), and '''Singapore Speedway R/T''' (reversed with ramps).

It appears as the fourth and final course of the [[Boomerang Cup]]. Like all other city courses from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', this version combines the course's three routes together, forming one course that changes route as the race progresses. It has received significant upgrades both visually and audibly. The sky is much brighter and more vibrant than before. The arrows were removed from the stretch of the {{wp|ArtScience Museum}} facing {{wp|The Float @ Marina Bay}} and the entire ArtScience Museum is represented on the minimap. The part connecting the platform of The Float @ Marina Bay to the road is bigger. The "Tour" part of the ''Mario Kart Tour'' logo has been removed on the side of the blimp. The lights that are turned on inside the leftmost tower of the {{wp|Marina Bay Sands}} are re-arranged, while the lights of the other two towers are inverted compared to ''Mario Kart Tour'', so lights that were turned on in ''Tour'' are turned off on ''8 Deluxe'', and vice versa. The barrel in {{wp|Chinatown, Singapore|Chinatown}} has been removed. [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s have been added as spectators near Marina Bay Sands, and the Sidesteppers have been replaced by [[Goomba Tower]]s. The minimap has also been rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise. | ||
Lap 1 follows the first route for the course, with a cannon firing racers to the roof of the Marina Bay Sands, where players dodge [[Innertube Goomba]]s before gliding back down to The Float @ Marina Bay and towards the starting line. | Lap 1 follows the first route for the course, with a cannon firing racers to the roof of the Marina Bay Sands, where players dodge [[Innertube Goomba]]s before gliding back down to The Float @ Marina Bay and towards the starting line. | ||
