It is named after and inspired by [[Tokyo]], Japan and makes its debut in the city's namesake tour, the [[Tokyo Tour]]. The course's music is based on the theme of [[3DS Toad Circuit]] and [[3DS Mario Circuit]]. This course has four different routes, the most out of any city course alongside [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]]: Tokyo Blur, '''Tokyo Blur 2''', '''Tokyo Blur 3''', and '''Tokyo Blur 4''', with the last three being introduced in the [[New Year's Tour]], [[Summer Festival Tour]], and [[Mario Tour]], respectively. The fourth iteration of this course differs from the others, in that it is two sections as opposed to two laps. From versions 1.2.0 to 1.4.0, the first layout was called '''Tokyo Blur 1'''. | ||
The first layout is a favorite of [[Toad|Toad (Pit Crew)]], [[Mario|Mario (Hakama)]], [[Toad|Toad (Party Time)]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Yukata)]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Happi)]], [[Bowser Jr.|Bowser Jr. (Pirate)]] and [[Mario|Mario (King)]], the second route is a favorite of [[Shy Guy|Pink Shy Guy]], [[Cat Mario|Cat Peach]], [[Nabbit]], [[Mario|Mario (Happi)]], [[Baby Rosalina|Baby Rosalina (Detective)]], [[Cat Mario|Cat Toad]], and [[Bowser|Bowser (Santa)]]. It can also be a favorite of [[Princess Peach|Peach (Happi)]] if she is at level 6. The third route is a favorite of [[Birdo|Birdo (Black)]], [[Yoshi|Yoshi (Reindeer)]], [[Mario|Mario (Happi)]], [[Mario|Mario (Chef)]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Yukata)]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Painter)]], and [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Swimwear)]] and the fourth route is a favorite of [[Yoshi (species)|Blue Yoshi]], [[Nabbit]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Yukata)]], [[Cat Mario|Cat Toad]], [[Mario|Mario (Racing)]], and [[Yoshi (species)|White Yoshi]]. | |||

The course also appears as '''Tokyo Blur R''' (reverse), '''Tokyo Blur T''' (with ramps), and '''Tokyo Blur R/T''' (reverse and with ramps). This route is used as the layout for the first lap of ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's'' variation of Tokyo Blur in the Booster Course Pass. Before the Summer Festival Tour, no kart had Tokyo Blur R listed as a favorite course; instead, its appearances in the Mario Cup and Toadette Cup relied on the spotlight bonus to raise the [[Kabuki Dasher]] and the [[Quickshaw]], respectively, to the top tier. | |||

The track then immediately makes a U-turn toward the {{wp|Shuto Expressway}}; the remainder of the course follows the path of Tokyo Blur 3, entering the expressway through a set of toll gates before rounding the spiral loop around the {{wp|Tokyo Big Sight}}. A [[Glide Ramp]] sends the player back onto the Rainbow Bridge, where a set of [[Thwomp]]s on either side threatens the players just before the finish line. | ||

The third lap is based on Tokyo Blur 3, turning right at the Wako store and then onto the {{wp|Shuto Expressway}}.

Unlike {{classic link|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, its hazards - [[Thwomp]]s - have been retained. | ||
Tokyo Blur is one of three courses to originate from ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' to appear in the first wave of the DLC, alongside Paris Promenade and [[Ninja Hideaway]]. This is also one of five tracks in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' where players can hit the banner (causing it to spin), like [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]], {{classic link|DS|Wario Stadium}}, {{classic link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}} and {{classic link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}. Unlike the other courses mentioned, this is only possible during the final lap. | |||
As with all other courses from Wave 1, this course's icon and lighting were adjusted slightly in the 2.1.0 update. | |||

Tokyo Blur is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Tokyo, Japan and makes its debut in the city's namesake tour, the Tokyo Tour. The course's music is based on the theme of 3DS Toad Circuit and 3DS Mario Circuit. This course has four different routes, the most out of any city course alongside New York Minute: Tokyo Blur, Tokyo Blur 2, Tokyo Blur 3, and Tokyo Blur 4, with the last three being introduced in the New Year's Tour, Summer Festival Tour, and Mario Tour, respectively. The fourth iteration of this course differs from the others, in that it is two sections as opposed to two laps. From versions 1.2.0 to 1.4.0, the first layout was called Tokyo Blur 1.
The first layout is a favorite of Toad (Pit Crew), Mario (Hakama), Toad (Party Time), Daisy (Yukata), Peach (Happi), Bowser Jr. (Pirate) and Mario (King), the second route is a favorite of Pink Shy Guy, Cat Peach, Nabbit, Mario (Happi), Baby Rosalina (Detective), Cat Toad, and Bowser (Santa). It can also be a favorite of Peach (Happi) if she is at level 6. The third route is a favorite of Birdo (Black), Yoshi (Reindeer), Mario (Happi), Mario (Chef), Daisy (Yukata), Luigi (Painter), and Daisy (Swimwear) and the fourth route is a favorite of Blue Yoshi, Nabbit, Daisy (Yukata), Cat Toad, Mario (Racing), and White Yoshi.
Tokyo Blur reappears in the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the first course in the Lucky Cat Cup. The course combines the first three versions of Tokyo Blur together, with a lap dedicated to each variant.
Mario Kart Tour
Course layouts
Tokyo Blur
In the standard layout, all of the racers start the course on the central span of the Rainbow Bridge. Just after the starting line, the road curves to the right through Ginza, then makes a slight left before the Wako store. Not long after, the course makes a right U-turn near the National Diet Building and the Miraikan, then goes through a tunnel. As the Tokyo Skytree, Asahi Beer Hall, and Tokyo Big Sight come into view, the road makes a wide right turn back onto Rainbow Bridge. Fuji TV's headquarters can be seen on the left. The minimap for this route resembles that of Yoshi Falls from Mario Kart DS and Luigi Circuit from Mario Kart Wii.
The course also appears as Tokyo Blur R (reverse), Tokyo Blur T (with ramps), and Tokyo Blur R/T (reverse and with ramps). This route is used as the layout for the first lap of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's variation of Tokyo Blur in the Booster Course Pass. Before the Summer Festival Tour, no kart had Tokyo Blur R listed as a favorite course; instead, its appearances in the Mario Cup and Toadette Cup relied on the spotlight bonus to raise the Kabuki Dasher and the Quickshaw, respectively, to the top tier.
Tokyo Blur 2
In the standard layout, all of the racers start the course on the central span of the Rainbow Bridge. Just after the starting line, the road curves to the right through Ginza, then makes a slight right before the Wako store. After passing by two Thwomps, the course shifts left at a roundabout and continues straight (with a subway entrance and Akihabara shops visible on the left), then goes under the Kaminarimon left of the Sensō-ji. As the player slights right then turns left at a signalized intersection, the road makes a wide right turn back onto Rainbow Bridge. Fuji TV's headquarters can be seen on the left.
The course also appears as Tokyo Blur 2R (reverse), Tokyo Blur 2T (with ramps), and Tokyo Blur 2R/T (reverse and with ramps). This route is used as the layout for the second lap of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's variation of Tokyo Blur in the Booster Course Pass.
Tokyo Blur 2 is the first city course in the game to reuse its Coin Rush in a later tour.
Tokyo Blur 3
In the standard layout, all of the racers start the course on the central span of the Rainbow Bridge. Just after the starting line, the road curves to the right through Ginza, then makes a slight right before the Wako store. After passing by some Thwomps, the course shifts left at a roundabout and continues straight to the Shuto Expressway, which is built along the Nihonbashi River. The toll plaza bar only opens when a driver passes through; the course then curves to the right. After passing by two Thwomps and after a wide turn up the spiral loop around the Tokyo Big Sight, a Glide Ramp enables the driver to fly out of Shuto Expressway and back onto Rainbow Bridge. Fuji TV's headquarters can be seen on the left.
In the trick variant, ramps are added on the Rainbow Bridge. Near the end of the bridge is a ramp with a Dash Panel on it. The Thwomps in the city are replaced with small ramps. After entering Shuto Expressway, there are ramps that replace the Thwomps on the expressway. The spiral loops around the Tokyo Big Sight has added ramps on it. The gliding section at the end of the course is replaced by a normal ramp.
When configured for Coin Rush, cars and buses will block off a lane in the highway and toll booth, making the collection of coins easier.
The course also appears as Tokyo Blur 3R (reverse), Tokyo Blur 3T (with ramps), and Tokyo Blur 3R/T (reverse and with ramps). This route is used as the layout for the third lap of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's variation of Tokyo Blur in the Booster Course Pass.
Tokyo Blur 4
In the standard layout, the track starts out following the same path as Tokyo Blur. All of the racers start the course on the central span of the Rainbow Bridge. Just after the starting line, the road curves to the right through Ginza, then makes a slight left before the Wako store. Not long after, the course makes a right U-turn near the National Diet Building and the Miraikan, then goes through a tunnel. The course then makes a sharp left to follow a small portion of Tokyo Blur 2 in reverse, going under the Kaminarimon next to the Sensō-ji, where the second segment of the course begins. The track then immediately makes a U-turn toward the Shuto Expressway; the remainder of the course follows the path of Tokyo Blur 3, entering the expressway through a set of toll gates before rounding the spiral loop around the Tokyo Big Sight. A Glide Ramp sends the player back onto the Rainbow Bridge, where a set of Thwomps on either side threatens the players just before the finish line.
The course also appears as Tokyo Blur 4R (reverse), Tokyo Blur 4T (with ramps), and Tokyo Blur 4R/T (reverse and with ramps).
Appearances
The first layout of Tokyo Blur is currently the only course based on a real world city to have appeared in six different tours: the Tokyo Tour, the Summer Festival Tour, the 1st Anniversary Tour, the Mario vs. Peach Tour, the 2nd Anniversary Tour, and the Anniversary Tour. It also made a minor appearance in the New Year's Tour as the location of a bonus challenge and in the Mario Tour as the third and final race in the 2-Player Challenge mode.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Tokyo Blur makes its console debut in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe via the Booster Course Pass. It is the first course of the Lucky Cat Cup, and as such was added as part of the first wave of the DLC. Similarly to Tokyo Blur 4, it is an expanded and combined version of the first three routes for this course; however, this version dedicates one lap to each variation through the use of changing arrow fields.
The first lap is based on Tokyo Blur, turning left at the Wako store and making a U-turn past the National Diet Building. The second lap is based on Tokyo Blur 2, turning right at the Wako store and then left underneath the Kaminarimon. The third lap is based on Tokyo Blur 3, turning right at the Wako store and then onto the Shuto Expressway. The minimap has been rotated 90 degrees compared to the equivalent minimaps for the variants in Tour. Unlike Tour Paris Promenade, its hazards - Thwomps - have been retained.
Tokyo Blur is one of three courses to originate from Mario Kart Tour to appear in the first wave of the DLC, alongside Paris Promenade and Ninja Hideaway. This is also one of five tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe where players can hit the banner (causing it to spin), like Mario Circuit, DS Wario Stadium, 3DS Neo Bowser City and 3DS Rock Rock Mountain. Unlike the other courses mentioned, this is only possible during the final lap.
As with all other courses from Wave 1, this course's icon and lighting were adjusted slightly in the 2.1.0 update.
