'''Sydney Sprint''' is a race course featured in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It is set in [[Sydney]], {{wp|New South Wales}}, [[Australia]], and made its debut in the [[Sydney Tour (April–May 2021)|April–May 2021 Sydney Tour]], the city's namesake tour. Like a majority of the other city courses, there are three routes for this course, which are named Sydney Sprint, '''Sydney Sprint 2''', and '''Sydney Sprint 3'''. The second route debuted in the [[Sydney Tour (September 2021)|September 2021 Sydney Tour]], and the third route debuted in the [[Anniversary Tour (2022)|2022 Anniversary Tour]]. The course visits various landmarks of Sydney, with the first route taking racers through the [[Sydney Opera House]] and {{wp|Luna Park Sydney|Luna Park}}, the second route featuring the Mary Booth Lookout Reserve, and the third route focusing on {{wp|Barangaroo, New South Wales#Barangaroo Reserve|Barangaroo Reserve}}. The first and second routes also feature the [[Sydney Harbor Bridge]], where passengers in a nearby {{wp|Sydney Trains T set|Tangara train}} throw items onto the road. Additionally, the second route starts in the opposite direction compared to the other two. Unlike most other city courses (with the exception of [[Tour Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway]] and [[Tour Athens Dash|Athens Dash]]), which generally condense landmarks down, every landmark featured in the varying routes of Sydney Sprint (except for {{wp|Uluru}}) is from the general area of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge; unlike Singapore Speedway, though, no routes closely approximate roads or paths featured in the actual city.  

Sydney Sprint returns as the first course of the [[Propeller Cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]''.

===Sydney Sprint===

At the start of the course, there is a fountain at the side of the course. If the player uses a [[Mushroom]] to hit the fountain, they will be able to perform several [[Jump Boost]]s.

The course also appears as '''Sydney Sprint R''' (reversed), '''Sydney Sprint T''' (with ramps), and '''Sydney Sprint R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the T variant, several stationary vehicles appear on the Sydney Harbor Bridge, including a [[Car (obstacle)|car]], a [[Truck|pickup truck]], and a [[dash panel ramp truck]].

===Sydney Sprint 2===

This layout is driven in the opposite direction compared to the previous layout. Like the original Sydney Sprint, the course's standard layout starts out at an area in {{wp|Port Jackson}}. After that, there is a long winding turn through downtown [[Sydney]]. After a turn to the left, the player can reach the highway and cross the [[Sydney Harbor Bridge]], where passengers from the {{wp|Sydney Trains T set|Tangara train}} operating on the {{wp|North Shore railway line|North Shore Line}} will throw random items onto the central span, just like Sydney Sprint. Next, there is a turn to the right which leads to the Mary Booth Lookout Reserve. After another turn to the left, there is a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] which takes the player across some water. Next, there is a small street with a single [[ramp]] at the end. After the ramp, the player returns back to the Port Jackson area. At this section, the player can choose to go on the upper route which contains some [[coin]]s, or the bottom route. The [[Sydney Opera House]] can also be seen at the background. After another turn to the left, the player reaches the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]].

The course also appears as '''Sydney Sprint 2R''' (reversed), '''Sydney Sprint 2T''' (with ramps), and '''Sydney Sprint 2R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R/T variant, the glide ramp is moved further down the track, appearing shortly before the Sydney Harbor Bridge. This change, in conjunction with several ramps, allows racers to potentially glide over the entire bridge section.

===Sydney Sprint 3===

Like the other two variants, this variant begins within an area in {{wp|Port Jackson}}. The player drives in the same direction as Sydney Sprint, but instead of turning right, the player immediately makes a left turn, jumping into a {{wp|First Fleet-class ferry|First Fleet class ferry}}. After jumping out to a dock at Dawes Point, the path afterwards continues through {{wp|Barangaroo, New South Wales#Barangaroo Reserve|Barangaroo Reserve}} along a winding narrow path split down the middle, one half banking downwards into the turns while the other half remains level; the off-road portions in this area are strewn with [[boulder]]s that may impede drivers trying to cut across. From this area, players can see Uluru in the far background. At the end of this section, the player turns to the right before they reach the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and race through the downtown of Sydney, before turning left one last time and reaching the finish line.

The course also appears as '''Sydney Sprint 3R''' (reversed), '''Sydney Sprint 3T''' (with ramps), and '''Sydney Sprint 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 the R and R/T variants, passengers from the {{wp|Sydney Trains T set|Tangara train}} throw items onto part of the track, just before racers reach the ferry. In the R/T variant, racers drive over the ferry and are able to briefly land on it for an extra [[Jump Boost]] off of a dash panel ramp.

Sydney Sprint returns in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is the first course of the [[Propeller Cup]], and as such is one of two courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to appear in the second wave, alongside {{classic-link|Tour|New York Minute}}. This version of the course is an expanded and combined version of Sydney Sprint, Sydney Sprint 2, and Sydney Sprint 3 from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. As Sydney Sprint 3 had yet to be released when this course was added in the Booster Course Pass, {{classic|Tour|Sydney Sprint}} is the one of the two ''Tour'' city courses alongside [[Tour Athens Dash|Athens Dash]] to be added to the pass before all three variants were released, and due to Sydney Sprint 3's presence in this course, it is also the first ''Tour'' city course to utilize roads that were unused in ''Mario Kart Tour'' at the time of it being added into ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. It and Athens Dash are also the only two courses to use routes prior to them debuting in ''Tour'', as all other instances of unused roads being used in the Booster Course Pass did not get used within ''Tour''. The course has also received significant visual and musical upgrades. It is one of two ''Mario Kart Tour'' city tracks to not have its minimap rotated, the other being {{classic|Tour|New York Minute}}.

The first lap follows the layout of the first Sydney Sprint route, starting in {{wp|Port Jackson}} and facing the [[Sydney Opera House]]. The fountain next to the starting line is now surrounded by grass, is much smaller, and is level with the track instead of slightly raised up, acting as an off-road shortcut. Racers drive through the Sydney Opera House, glide out of it, take a 270-degree right turn through {{wp|Luna Park Sydney|Luna Park}}, and cross the [[Sydney Harbour Bridge|Sydney Harbor Bridge]]. While on the bridge, [[Toad (species)|Toads]] throw coins from the {{wp|Sydney Trains T set|Tangara train}}, replacing the [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s, [[Banana]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s they could throw in the original. The bridge now has ramps on it (in a similar vain to Sydney Sprint 2T, but not in the same arrangement) - however, these ramps are facing the opposite direction and cannot be used on this lap. [[Coin]]s are located in small alcoves at the end of each ramp. At the end of the bridge, racers turn left and take a highway back to the starting line.

*'''Nintendo Switch News app (UK)''': '''''Race down under in Sydney Sprint!'''<br>Now, we'd like to present to you a course released as part of the second wave, which is available now: Sydney Sprint.<br>This course had its first outing in the smart device app Mario Kart Tour, and takes you swerving and dashing past the many famous landmarks of the Australian metropolis of Sydney. The route changes depending on the number of laps, and the third go-round will have you retracing your past tracks, so you might even see other racers going the "wrong" way - how's that for inverting expectations? Be sure to greet them with a hearty "G'day!" as you zoom past!''
