Rome Avanti is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is based on the city of Rome, Italy, and as such takes racers round many landmarks and sites from the city, such as the Colosseum. The course made its debut in the Night Tour, and is the second city course to not debut in a tour named after the city, the first being Athens Dash. It is also the first city course to debut alongside a classic course since Paris Promenade, over three years earlier. The course is the sixth European city course and is the first of them to be set at night. "Avanti" in the course's name is an Italian word that roughly translates to "onwards", making this the first Mario Kart course to feature a non-English word in its English name. The starting line for this course resembles the front side of the Pantheon.
The course has two routes, Rome Avanti and Rome Avanti 2, which both debuted together. The first route takes racers through the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and Piazza del Campidoglio, while the second route takes them through the Spanish Steps, the Villa Borghese gardens, and some of the city's piazzas. The two routes feature many unused roads and landmarks such as the Trevi Fountain and Trajan's Market, indicating the course will have a third route in the future.
Excluding courses announced simultaneously, this course and Squeaky Clean Sprint mark the shortest period of time between the announcement of two new courses for the Mario Kart series, with only a 16-hour gap, beating the previous courses with this distinction, Piranha Plant Cove and Yoshi's Island, by five days. Despite the Template:Media link for the course featuring being set in the course's first variant, it includes a Chain Chomp, and a corresponding Chain Chomp warning sign, neither of which appear in Rome Avanti or Rome Avanti 2, this suggests the teaser art combined elements of the first and third variants for the artwork, despite the third variant not debuting.
Rome Avanti and Madrid Drive are the only city courses from Mario Kart Tour that has yet to reappear as a classic course in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass DLC.
Course layouts
Rome Avanti
The course starts in Via del Corso, facing the Victor Emmanuel II Monument. Just after the starting line, the player takes a slight left turn in Piazza Venezia and enters a road leading inside the Colosseum. After a spiral loop with Swoops ending with a ramp, the player is sent to the Roman Forum, which is littered with fallen columns that can be used to obtain Jump Boosts. The player must then take a U-turn to the right of the Arch of Septimius Severus and a left turn in Piazza del Campidoglio. Afterwards, the player takes a tight right and left turn leading near the Fountain of Neptune in Piazza Navona, after which they must make a right U-turn in Piazza del Popolo leading to the finish line.
This route also appears as Rome Avanti R (reversed), Rome Avanti T (with ramps), and Rome Avanti R/T (reversed with ramps). In the R/T variant, Fuzzies on a track are added to the course near the Colosseum.

Rome Avanti 2
Like in the first route, the course starts in Via del Corso, this time facing Piazza del Popolo. The player takes a right turn in Piazza del Popolo to enter Piazza di Spagna, with the Fontana della Barcaccia visible on the right, and then a slight left turn to the Spanish Steps. After going up the steps, the player takes a left turn and enters the Villa Borghese gardens where they make a left U-turn around the lake near the Temple of Aesculapius. Afterwards, the player returns to Piazza del Popolo, passing between the Flaminio Obelisk and Porta del Popolo to Piazza Navona. In Piazza Navona, the player can either drive to the right or left of the center of the piazza while they avoid Rocky Wrenches. After the road meets up, the player passes through Campo de' Fiori, where they must take a sharp left turn by either going around the Monument to Giordano Bruno and avoiding some barrels or taking a shortcut through the market. After driving though a thin road to the right of the Mouth of Truth, the player takes a right and left turn leading to the finish line.
This route also appears as Rome Avanti 2R (reversed), Rome Avanti 2T (with ramps), and Rome Avanti 2R/T (reversed with ramps).
