Tour Vancouver Velocity
Template:Racecourse Vancouver Velocity is a race track in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Vancouver, Canada: due to this, it is the signature course of the Vancouver Tour. The course also appears as Vancouver Velocity R (Reverse variant), Vancouver Velocity T (Variant with ramps), and Vancouver Velocity R/T (Reverse variant with ramps). The course is favored by Birdo (Light Blue) and Rosalina (Aurora).
Layout
In the standard layout, the racers start the course in a street next to the Vancouver Convention Centre, with the Vancouver Olympic Cauldron up ahead on the right. After driving underneath the Olympic Cauldron, players can see Vancouver Park 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. Afterwards, taking a right turn brings the players to the street where the finish line awaits them. Goombas also appear in this course.
