'''Sydney Sprint''' is a race course featured in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It is named after and inspired by [[Sydney]], [[Australia]], and made its debut in the [[Sydney Tour (April–May 2021)|April–May 2021 Sydney Tour]], the city's namesake tour. The course visits various landmarks of Sydney, including letting racers enter the [[Sydney Opera|Sydney Opera House]] as well as going through the {{wp|Sydney Harbour Bridge}} in which passengers of a nearby {{wp|Sydney Trains T set|Tangara train}} throw various items onto the road. There are currently only two routes for this course, tied with [[Vancouver Velocity]], [[Berlin Byways]], [[Singapore Speedway]] and [[Amsterdam Drift]]. The two routes are simply named Sydney Sprint and '''Sydney Sprint 2'''.

 

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

====Sydney Sprint====

In the standard layout, the course begins within an area in {{wp|Port Jackson}}. After a reverse curve to the right, the player enters the [[Sydney Opera|Sydney Opera House]] and makes a slight left amidst a cheering crowd to a [[Glide Ramp]] across the water. After passing under the {{wp|Bradfield Highway (Sydney)|Bradfield Highway}}, the player will make a 270-degree loop right amidst some {{wp|Luna Park Sydney|Luna Park}} fairgrounds on the left to join the highway and cross the {{wp|Sydney Harbour Bridge}}; while on the bridge, passengers from the {{wp|Sydney Trains T set|Tangara train}} operating on the {{wp|North Shore railway line|North Shore line}} will throw random [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s, [[Banana]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s onto the central span. The player then takes a long winding left through downtown Sydney before reaching the finish line.

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

The course also appears as '''Sydney Sprint R''' (reverse), '''Sydney Sprint T''' (with ramps), and '''Sydney Sprint R/T''' (reverse and with ramps).

====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 {{wp|Sydney Harbour 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]] 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 [[coins]], or the bottom route. The [[Sydney Opera|Sydney Opera House]] can also be seen at the background. After another turn to the left, the player reaches the [[Finish Line]].

The course also appears as '''Sydney Sprint 2R''' (reverse), '''Sydney Sprint 2T''' (with ramps), and '''Sydney Sprint 2R/T''' (reverse and with ramps).

[[File:MK8-Course-Tour SydneySprint.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Sydney Sprint as it appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'']]

Sydney Sprint returns in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is an expanded and combined version of Sydney Sprint and Sydney Sprint 2 from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It is the first course of the [[Propeller Cup]], and as such was added in the second wave of the DLC. The course has received significant visual and musical upgrades. Unlike in ''Tour'', 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. The Sydney Harbor Bridge now has large metal ramps down the middle that allow players to perform [[Jump Boost]]s off them. However, this is only possible during the second and third laps, as the first lap has the player travel in the opposite direction that the ramps are facing. The Toads on the Tangara train now throw coins onto the track, replacing the [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]]s, [[Banana]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s that could be thrown from them in the original.

The first lap follows the layout of the first Sydney Sprint route, while the second lap follows a route not seen before, as well as elements of Sydney Sprint 2. When the second lap starts, an [[arrow field]] points to the left, where the player jumps into a {{wp|First Fleet-class ferry|First Fleet class ferry}}, matching the one seen in ''Tour''{{'}}s [[Glider Challenge]] set in {{classic-link|SNES|Koopa Troopa Beach 2}}, before jumping out and onto a dock at {{wp|Dawes Point, New South Wales|Dawes Point}} under the bridge. 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. At the end of that section, the path begins following Sydney Sprint 2's layout. After getting back on the road, the player approaches the Sydney Harbour Bridge again, but this time from the opposite direction to the first lap, allowing them to use the ramps in the middle.

The third lap starts in the opposite direction as the last two (currently making this the only track in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' to have this trait) and is based on the route of Sydney Sprint R from ''Tour'', making this the first time the R variant of a city track is directly used as the layout of a lap. As such, it follows the same layout as the first lap, but in reverse, with the player first crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge (which again allows players to use the ramps), followed by taking a large turn through Luna Park, then gliding into the Sydney Opera House, and finally returning to the Circular Quay area where the race ends.
