Template:Racecourse Los Angeles Laps is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after the city Los Angeles, California, and as such it makes its debut in the city's namesake tour, the 2020 Los Angeles Tour. However, the course itself takes place in Santa Monica and the landmark Santa Monica Pier; the course even has flags that write out "Welcome to Santa Monica". The course is a favorite of Pauline (Party Time), Toad (Party Time), Mario (Swimwear), and Mario (Sunshine).
Course layout
In the standard layout, all of the racers start the course on the Santa Monica Pier. Just after the starting line, the road curves to the left through a couple shops and onto the beach, then makes a slight left through a blue lifeguard tower. After continuing left, the course shifts right into a skatepark and shifts left underneath an elongated lifeguard tower bridge; the course then curves to the left where the rest of the beach is littered with a few Sidesteppers and a underwater section at the side. Players can then make a slight S-motion into a double-lane road through the street, where they can alternate between the two lanes at will. After a wide turn left, the player then drives straight and back onto the pier, where the finish line awaits.
When configured for Coin Rush, signs will direct Gold Mario up the highest skate ramp while cars and buses will block off a lane in the double-lane road, making the collection of coins easier.
