Los Angeles Laps is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named and based 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), Mario (Sunshine), Fire Rosalina, Daisy (Swimwear), and Mario (Baseball).
The course also appears as Los Angeles Laps R (reverse), Los Angeles Laps T (with ramps), and Los Angeles Laps R/T (reverse and with ramps).
Mario Kart Tour
Several landmarks in Los Angeles and Santa Monica can be seen in the course and its variants, which are 777 Tower, Beverly Hills City Hall, Capitol Records Building, Dodger Stadium, Inglewood Oil Field, Los Angeles City Hall, Los Angeles Convention Center, Muscle Beach, Rodeo Drive Walk of Style, Santa Monica Pier, Tongva Park, Venice Beach, Griffith Observatory, Getty Center, and the Westin Bonaventure Hotel.
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 with multiple paths and graffiti of a Bill Blaster, some Bullet Bills, Bananas, Bloopers, two Bob-omb Plugs icons, two Red Shells, a Bowser icon and some Piranha Plants in a Warp Pipe. After that, the course 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 an underwater section at the side. On the second lap, most of the water will disappear. 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.
