Map of New York Minute from Mario Kart Tour

New York Minute (referred to as New York Minute 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 New York City set in nighttime, and makes its debut in the city's namesake tour and the first tour overall, the New York Tour, therefore being the first new course released in the game. However, the course has currently only appeared in the New York Tour and has yet to appear again since then. The name of the track comes from an American expression used to designate very short intervals of time. Like with New Donk City in Super Mario Odyssey, New York Minute features a number of references to Donkey Kong, including the Times Square jumbotron displaying the original arcade game.

In reference to her status as mayor of New Donk City (which is based on New York City), this course is a favorite of Pauline.

The course also appears as New York Minute R (reverse), New York Minute T (with ramps), and New York Minute R/T (reverse and with ramps).

A course combining the New York Minute courses together appears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in the second wave of the Booster Course Pass.

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

In the standard layout, all of the racers start the course in front of Times Square, where many sponsors can be seen. Just after the starting line, the road bends in a slight curve to the right through Broadway and ends in a bridge that leads into Central Park. In the park, the road takes a sharp turn to the left and circles back under the bridge where the racers entered the park. After the bridge, the road continues straight until it turns sharply to the right back into the city, where a blocked out entrance to the Rockefeller Center and the building itself can be seen in front. There, the players turn left and pass the Empire State Building and St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan. After another turn to the right, the players are back at the starting line. In New York Minute R, this layout is reversed.
