Amsterdam Drift is a race course featured in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and makes its debut in the Amsterdam Tour, the city's namesake tour.

Though the track mainly features the city of Amsterdam, the windmills that appear in the course reference the Zaanse Schans, located just outside Amsterdam. Portions of this course is set underwater in the canals of Amsterdam, making this the second city course with underwater driving, after Singapore Speedway. Unlike Singapore Speedway, however, racers are fully submerged underwater.

Course layout

Amsterdam Drift

In the standard layout, the racers start the course on Damrak street, in between the Royal Palace of Amsterdam and De Bijenkorf, while they head towards Amsterdam Centraal Station before making a right turn. After that, the racers make a left turn while they pass the Montelbaanstoren, followed by going underneath the NEMO Science Museum and through the IJtunnel. The racers then glide over a river acting as both the IJ in Amsterdam and the Zaan at the Zaanse Schans, in between the mills Het Jonge Schaap and De Zoeker while avoiding their sails. They then make their way to a dirt road with Monty Moles (Goombas in the T variant) and a shortcut ramp. Houses and windmills resembling those found on the Zaanse Schans at the Zaanse Schans appear in the background of the area. The course eventually leads to a Dash Panel, making the racers jump onto a ferry. This is followed by another jump from the ferry onto the paved road again. The racers then go down the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal street, which leads right behind the Royal Palace, along with Hotel Die Port van Cleve and the Former Amsterdam Main Post Office (currently a shopping mall known as Magna Plaza). There, there is a moving tram which drivers can run into for a Jump Boost. The road makes a gradual left, transitioning into the Rokin street and going past Gebouw Industria, before leading to the finish line. In the T and R/T variants and the Do Jump Boosts bonus challenge of the course, the player can go underwater in some parts of the course.

The course also appears as Amsterdam Drift R (reverse), Amsterdam Drift T (with ramps), and Amsterdam Drift R/T (reverse and with ramps). The course is a favorite of Luigi (Golf), Mario (Aviator), Rosalina (Volendam), Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES), and the Nabbit and Pastry Chef Mii Racing Suits.

Amsterdam Drift 2

In the standard layout, the racers start the course on Damrak street, in between the Royal Palace of Amsterdam and De Bijenkorf, but unlike the first Amsterdam Drift, racers now head away from Amsterdam Centraal Station, where they then take a slight right turn before heading into the Singel canal. Racers take a sharp left turn in the canal and maneuver in between many warp pipes with currents coming out of them. A serpentine turn is taken before heading to a straightaway. Here, racers can chose to drive out of the water and on to a boat on the canal briefly. Passing the boat, there is a fork in the road where players can either go straight ahead, and then take a 90 degree left turn, or take a 90 degree left turn earlier, and then take a right turn again after. When both routes meet up again, they lead to a ramp that leads out of the canal again, and back to the surface outside the Amsterdam Centraal Station. One final left turn is taken before reaching the finishing line.

The course also appears as Amsterdam Drift 2R (reverse), Amsterdam Drift 2T (with ramps), and Amsterdam Drift 2R/T (reverse and with ramps). This course is a favorite of Toadette (Explorer), Baby Mario (Koala), Penguin Mario, Penguin Toadette, Rosalina (Volendam), Daisy (Farmer), Rosalina (Chef), and the Gold Mii Racing Suit.
