Tokyo Blur
Template:Racecourse Tokyo Blur (referred to as Tokyo Blur 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 Tokyo, Japan; due to this, it is the signature course of the Tokyo Tour. The course also appears as Tokyo Blur R (reverse), Tokyo Blur T (with ramps), and Tokyo Blur R/T (reverse and with ramps). The BGM theme of the track is based on the theme of Toad Circuit. The course is favored by Toad (Pit Crew), Mario (Hakama), Toad (Party Time), Daisy (Yukata), and Bowser Jr. (Pirate).
Course layout
In the standard layout, all of the racers start the course on the central span of the Rainbow Bridge. Just after the starting line, the road curves to the right through Ginza, then makes a slight left before the Wako store. Not long after, the course makes a right U-turn near the National Diet Building and the Miraikan, then goes through a tunnel. As the Tokyo Skytree and Asahi Beer Hall come into view, the road makes a wide right turn back onto Rainbow Bridge. Fuji TV's headquarters can be seen on the left.

Trivia
- The Noshis in the R/T version of this course references the Kaiju.[2]
- Before the start of the Summer Festival Tour, no kart had Tokyo Blur R listed as a three-star course; instead, its appearances in the Mario Cup and Toadette Cup rely on the spotlight bonus to raise the Kabuki Dasher and the Quickshaw, respectively, to the three-star tier. This was the only course in the game to completely lack either drivers, karts, or gliders in the three-star tier by default.
