Los Angeles Laps 3 is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named and based after Los Angeles, California, and is the third layout of the overall Los Angeles Laps course. It makes its debut in the city's namesake tour, the 2021 Los Angeles Tour. This layout takes drivers through more streets compared to the previous layouts as well as letting racers glide over Dodger Stadium, therefore the finish line is now positioned near the stadium on a broad street close to the sea.
This course is a favorite of Pink Yoshi, Birdo (Black), Fire Rosalina, Pauline (Rose), Mario (Baseball), Luigi (Vacation), Mario (Golf), and Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES). It can also be a favorite of Chargin' Chuck if he is at level 6.
The course also appears as Los Angeles Laps 3R (reverse), Los Angeles Laps 3T (with ramps), and Los Angeles Laps 3R/T (reverse and with ramps).
Despite being labeled as "Los Angeles Laps 3", the course was released before Los Angeles Laps 2, making it the second playable layout of the overall Los Angeles Laps course.
Course layout
relation to its other layouts
In the standard layout, players start on a street that runs perpendicular to the Santa Monica Pier. Just after the starting line, the road curves to the left in front of Tongva Park, then makes a slight right as it goes under a bridge (which is part of a road in Los Angeles Laps 2), and then curves left again to go through the Los Angeles Convention Center. The road curves to the right as it goes under the canopy of the convention center, and then curves left shortly before a Glide Ramp which sends the player over Dodger Stadium. After landing on the other side of the stadium, the player immediately makes two left turns before continuing down a curvy road towards Two Rodeo Drive. After going through Rodeo Drive, the player makes a sharp left turn to return to the finish line. In the reverse and trick variant, racers drive on top of the convention center.
Shortcuts
At the start of the curvy road towards Two Rodeo Drive, there's a small corner that can only be traversed through with the use of a Dash Mushroom.
