Template:Racecourse Tokyo Blur (referred to as Tokyo Blur 1 from version 1.2.0 to 1.4.0) is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Tokyo, Japan and makes its debut in the tour it is themed to, the Tokyo Tour. The course also appears as Tokyo Blur R (reverse), Tokyo Blur T (with ramps), and Tokyo Blur R/T (reverse and with ramps). The BGM theme of the track is based on the theme of Toad Circuit. The course is favored by Toad (Pit Crew), Mario (Hakama), Toad (Party Time), Daisy (Yukata), and Bowser Jr. (Pirate).
Course layout
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 and Asahi Beer Hall come into view, the road makes a wide right turn back onto Rainbow Bridge. Fuji TV's headquarters can be seen on the left.
Appearances
This is the only course based on a real world city to have appeared in three different tours: the Tokyo Tour, the Summer Festival Tour, and the 1st Anniversary Tour.
Tokyo Tour
In the Tokyo Tour, Tokyo Blur serves as the tour's signature course. It appears as the second course in the Bowser Jr. Cup, the third course in the Baby Rosalina Cup, and the location of the challenges in the Lakitu Cup and the Peachette Cup. It also has a Trick variant which appears as the first course in the Rosalina Cup and the second course in the Dry Bowser Cup, a Reverse variant which appears as the third course in the Mario Cup and the second course in the Toadette Cup, and a Reverse/Trick variant which appears as the second course in the Wario Cup and the third course in the Peachette Cup.

Trivia
- The presence of Noshis in the Reverse/Trick variant of this course references the Kaiju.[2]
- Before the start of 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 rely on the spotlight bonus to raise the Kabuki Dasher and the Quickshaw, respectively, to the top tier. This was the only course in the game to completely lack either drivers, karts, or gliders in the top tier by default.
