Tokyo Blur 3 is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is inspired by Tokyo, Japan, and is the third layout of the overall Tokyo Blur course. Due to the city's reputation of hosting big summer festivals nearly every year, it was the featured course of the Summer Festival Tour, when it made its debut. Compared to previous layouts, the races can now drive on a highway over some of the roads of the previous layouts.

The course is a favorite of Birdo (Black), Yoshi (Reindeer), Mario (Happi), Mario (Chef), Daisy (Yukata), Luigi (Painter), and Daisy (Swimwear).

The course also appears as Tokyo Blur 3R (reverse), Tokyo Blur 3T (with ramps), and Tokyo Blur 3R/T (reverse and with ramps).

The layout for Tokyo Blur 3 is used as the layout for the third and final lap of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's variation of Tokyo Blur in the Booster Course Pass.

Course layout

The city course's layout in
relation to its other layouts

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.

In the reverse and trick variant, dash panels are added on the spiral loops. A gliding ramp is added near the entrance to Shuto Expressway, along with 3 midair ramps in the Wako Store area.

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.
