Vancouver Velocity is a race track in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Vancouver, Canada, and makes its debut in the city's namesake tour, the Vancouver Tour. Currently, there are only two routes for this course, the same as Berlin Byways, Sydney Sprint, Singapore Speedway and Amsterdam Drift. The routes are simply named Vancouver Velocity and Vancouver Velocity 2. The course visits various landmarks of the city it is based on and going mostly through the nature side of the track, which involves going through the Stanley Park and driving on a suspension bridge.

The first route of this course is a favorite of Birdo (Light Blue), Ice Bro, Blue Koopa (Freerunning), Birdo (Blue), Rosalina (Aurora), and Dry Bones (Gold), while the second route is a favorite of Light-blue Toad (Pit Crew), Yoshi (Reindeer), Rosalina (Aurora), Penguin Mario, and Wario (Hiker).

Vancouver Velocity

In the standard layout, the racers start the course in a street next to the Vancouver Convention Centre, with the Vancouver Olympics cauldron up ahead on the right. After driving underneath the Olympics cauldron, players can see Stanley Park (referred to as "Vancouver Park" on signage) with a little concessions building on the left and a suspension bridge area on the right, where numerous Swoops reside. After players make a sharp turn right onto the suspension bridge itself, they must make an S-curve on the bridge to a glider ramp, which takes them back behind the Convention Centre where Science World is visible in the background. Afterwards, taking a right turn brings the players to the street where the finish line awaits them. At the end of the course, the player can use a Dash Mushroom to pass through a small corner with some decorations.

The course also appears as Vancouver Velocity R (reversed), Vancouver Velocity T (trick), and Vancouver Velocity R/T (reverse and with ramps).

Vancouver Velocity 2

In the standard layout, the racers start the course in a street next to the Vancouver Convention Centre. After a right reverse curve through Jack Poole Plaza, the player takes a sharp right, with Science World visible on the left. The player then enters Rogers Arena and drives across the ice rink before being launched out of a circus cannon across to Stanley Park near the Lost Lagoon. The player then takes another sharp right to travel along a shoreline to the right, then moves across a pedestrian bridge that arches right, with the Lions Gate Bridge in the background. After two consecutive drops to a boardwalk with the sailboats from GCN Yoshi Circuit, the player travels underneath the Vancouver Olympics cauldron via another right reverse curve to the finish line.

The course also appears as Vancouver Velocity 2R (reverse), Vancouver Velocity 2T (with ramps), and Vancouver Velocity 2R/T (reverse and with ramps).
