“Bonjour, everyone! A race unlike any other is about to unfold over these historic cobblestone streets!”
Lakitu, Mario Kart Tour News[1]

Paris Promenade is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It takes place in Paris, France. The course has three routes, which are called Paris Promenade (known as Paris Promenade 1 between versions 1.2.0 and 1.4.0), Paris Promenade 2 and Paris Promenade 3, with each route debuting in the 2019 Paris Tour, the Valentine's Tour (a nod to the city's nickname "the city of love") and the 2021 Paris Tour, respectively. A battle course version of the course named Paris Promenade B later debuted in the Spring Tour. Unlike most city courses in Mario Kart Tour, this course is very compact and is set within a very small area with all three routes overlapping each other significantly, visiting the same landmarks as a result, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. Additionally, the second route starts in the opposite direction compared to the other two.

In the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Paris Promenade returns as the first course of the Golden Dash Cup.

Paris Promenade

The course begins at a road facing the Arc de Triomphe. One bypass road for the Arc appears on the left side, though the player can also use a shortcut inside the Arc by breaking through two Piranha Plant wooden cutouts. After a gradual left, the player encounters a Glide Ramp that sends them over the Jardins du Trocadéro and underneath the Eiffel Tower, where two Goombas and a pipe reside. Afterwards, the player must make a sharp left, followed by another left next to a Big Piranha Plant and a bypass of the Luxor Obelisk leading to the finish line.

The course also appears as Paris Promenade R (reversed), Paris Promenade T (with ramps), and Paris Promenade R/T (reversed with ramps). In all three variants, the Goombas and pipe under the Eiffel Tower are gone, and racers are directed inside the Arc de Triomphe instead of around it. In the R/T variant, racers pass the Luxor Obelisk on the side which was previously unused.

Paris Promenade 2

This layout is driven in the opposite direction compared to the first layout, and it visits a different side of the city. In the standard layout, the racers start the course in a street facing the Luxor Obelisk instead of the Arc de Triomphe like in Paris Promenade 1. On Place de la Concorde, a street on the right leads to the Eiffel Tower. Players can see on the right the Pont d'Iéna and a bateau-mouche on the Seine. The street then turns left, and goes underneath the Eiffel Tower, where two Goombas reside. Players then have a view on Cathedral of Notre Dame in the background. Afterwards, racers must make a sharp left leading to a roundabout with a Big Piranha Plant in the center. After passing through a part of the Louvre, players have a view on Sacré-Cœur in the background, as well as Opéra Garnier and La Madeleine along the large left turn. Then, another left turn in front of the Église Saint-Augustin leads to the Arc de Triomphe, which racers get around to find the finish line.

The course also appears as Paris Promenade 2R (reversed), Paris Promenade 2T (with ramps), and Paris Promenade 2R/T (reversed with ramps). In all three variants, the Goombas under the Eiffel Tower are gone. In the R variant, there are two pipes on the track that hold passive Piranha Plants. In the R/T variant, the Big Piranha Plant is gone and racers drive over where it once was using Kanaami Road.

Paris Promenade 3

The course starts at the Arc de Triomphe, just like the first route. Racers make a right curve around the Arc before continuing, as in Paris Promenade. The path continues much the same, though the glide ramp seen in Paris Promenade is gone. Once at the Eiffel Tower, racers make a left turn rather than driving under the tower. They then drive towards the Luxor Obelisk before making a right turn to a Big Piranha Plant, where they then drive to the left as they would in Paris Promenade 2. However, racers are cut off from driving back to the Arc de Triomphe as the path takes them back to the Luxor Obelisk before a final right turn to the finish line.

The course also appears as Paris Promenade 3R (reversed), Paris Promenade 3T (with ramps), and Paris Promenade 3R/T (reversed with ramps). In the R variant, there are two Goombas just before the Arc de Triomphe, where racers then use a glide ramp to glide straight through it. In the T variant, racers can go either left or right around the Arc; the middle path is blocked by barriers on lap 1, but there is a glide ramp at the end of the track which allows racers to glide over the barriers on lap 2. In the R/T variant, racers are directed through the middle of the Arc on both laps, and the Big Piranha Plant is gone.

Paris Promenade B

As this is a battle stage, there is no "route" to drive along. Instead, selected portions of the course are used, and players can drive on the selected portion in any way they desire. The parts of the course used only include the Arc de Triomphe, the Luxor Obelisk, and all roads in between. A road near the Arc de Triomphe that is not seen in any previous route is included. It was the final battle course to be added to Mario Kart Tour. Like all other battle courses in this game, it uses the music for SNES Battle Course 1 from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Paris Promenade makes its console debut in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe via the Booster Course Pass. It is the first course of the Golden Dash Cup, the first course in the pass overall, and one of three Mario Kart Tour courses added in the first wave of the DLC, alongside Tour Tokyo Blur and Ninja Hideaway, which are featured in the Lucky Cat Cup. This version of the course combines all three of its routes from Mario Kart Tour.

The first two laps act as a combined version of Paris Promenade 1 and 3 with some aspects of 2, using elements and pathways of all three versions. Players start facing the Arc de Triomphe and can go around either side of it (like in Paris Promenade 3T), or through the wooden cutouts of Piranha Plants underneath it using a Dash Mushroom or Super Star. After a gradual left, players will take a Glide Ramp over the Jardins du Trocadéro. Afterwards, the player is given two routes they can choose from. One goes underneath the Eiffel Tower before turning left like in Paris Promenade 1 and 2; the other turns left just before the Tower, then turns right at the Luxor Obelisk, like in Paris Promenade 3. Both paths lead to a roundabout with a Big Piranha Plant in the center. Afterward, the path takes after Paris Promenade 3, circling around to the other side of the Luxor Obelisk and turning back towards the starting line.

In the third lap, the players are forced to turn right by an arrow field that blocks off the Arc de Triomphe. Instead, they take a path past the Église Saint-Augustin like in Paris Promenade 2R, before starting to traverse the course in the opposite direction as the last two laps, similarly to the R variants of the Paris Promenade 1 and 3. Because of this, it is possible to pass by racers still on a previous lap driving in the opposite direction. All of the aforementioned alternate pathways remain the same. However, there is now a Glide Ramp on the other side of the Jardins du Trocadéro, and the one from the first two laps is no longer present. Unlike the first two laps, if racers are hit by an item during the glide and fall into the Jardins, Lakitu will consider this out of bounds and pick them up. The race ends on the opposite side of the start/finish line that the race started on.

The minimap has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise compared to the equivalent minimaps in Tour. While the Big Piranha Plant at the roundabout remains, the pipes and Goombas under the Eiffel Tower have been replaced by a Dash Panel. If the player takes the path to the left of the Eiffel Tower, the right turn afterwards will now have pipes on the path. The Église Saint-Augustin section now has a glide ramp and the umbrellas can be tricked off of. This is the only Tour city track that appears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to use the same layout on more than one lap (namely the first and second laps). All of the other city tracks have a different layout on each of the three laps.

As with all other courses from Wave 1, this course's icon and lighting were adjusted slightly in the 2.1.0 update.

Paris Promenade's appearance in the Booster Course Pass makes it one of five courses in the Mario Kart series that allow racers to run into other racers going in the opposite direction, the others being Luigi Circuit in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, DS Peach Gardens, Tour Amsterdam Drift, and Tour Rome Avanti (the latter three also only in the Booster Course Pass).

Trivia

  • Paris Promenade and Peach Gardens are the only Mario Kart courses to have their music in 3/4 time.
  • In a trailer posted to promote the release of Wave 1 of the Booster Course Pass, the glide ramp before the Eiffel Tower is replaced by a generic ramp (similar to Paris Promenade 3), but still functions like a glide ramp.[11]
  • A painting of this course can be seen on the Flying Easel glider.
