New York Minute

Template:Racecourse New York Minute 1 (referred to simply as New York Minute prior to version 1.2.0) is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by New York City set in nighttime; due to this, it is the signature course of the New York Tour. The course also appears as New York Minute 1R (reverse), New York Minute 1T (with ramps), and New York Minute 1R/T (reverse and with ramps).

Course layout

In the standard layout, all of the racers start the course in front of Times Square. Just after the starting line, the road bends in a slight curve to the right through Broadway and ends in a bridge that leads into Central Park. In the park, the road takes a sharp turn to the left and circles back under the bridge where the racers entered the park. After the bridge, the road continues straight until it turns sharply to the right back into the city. There, the players pass the Empire State Building and St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan. After another turn to the right, the players are back at the starting line. In New York Minute 1R, this layout is reversed.

In Times Square, many billboards can be seen. There are ads for Galaxy Air, Banana Boy ("The Smash Hit Musical!"), Broadway Musical Entertainment, Donkey Kong ("The Best Musical!"), Burning DK, Barrel Travel, 1-UP Mushroom Car Insurance Group, Mario Work Gear, and Shy Guy Metals.

Trivia
