New York Minute 3
Template:Racecourse New York Minute 3 is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by New York City, New York set in nighttime, and due to New York being the theme of the game’s first tour, it is the signature course of the 1st Anniversary Tour. The course also appears as New York Minute 3R (reverse), New York Minute 3T (with ramps), and New York Minute 3R/T (reverse and with ramps). The course is favored by Pauline, Pauline (Party Time), Mario (SNES), Waluigi (Bus Driver), and Dry Bones (Gold).
Course layout
In the standard layout, all of the racers start the course in front of Times Square. 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. There, the players pass the Rockefeller Center and go inside 30 Rockefeller Plaza builing. After this, all the racers will be carried in a tunnel where they can see the Statue of Liberty. After a light turn to left, the racers will be carried at the goal. In New York Minute R, this layout is reversed.
