'''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 and makes its debut in the tour in the city’s namesake tour, 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 course's music is based on the theme of [[3DS Toad Circuit]] and [[3DS Mario Circuit]]. The course is a favorite of [[Toad|Toad (Pit Crew)]], [[Mario|Mario (Hakama)]], [[Toad|Toad (Party Time)]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Yukata)]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Happi)]], and [[Bowser Jr.|Bowser Jr. (Pirate)]].

This course has three additional versions, the most out of any city course alongside [[New York Minute]]: [[Tokyo Blur 2]], [[Tokyo Blur 3]], and [[Tokyo Blur 4]], introduced in the [[New Year's Tour]], [[Summer Festival Tour]], and [[Mario Tour]], respectively.

Tokyo Blur reappears in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first course of the [[Lucky Cat Cup]]. In the trailer, drivers can be shown driving in the {{wp|Shuto Expressway}}, but the Shuto Expressway is only accessible in Tokyo Blur 3 and Tokyo Blur 4.<ref>Nintendo (February 9, 2022).

==Course layout==
In the standard layout, all of the racers start the course on the central span of the {{wp|Rainbow Bridge (Tokyo)|Rainbow Bridge}}. Just after the starting line, the road curves to the right through {{wp|Ginza}}, then makes a slight left before the {{wp|Wako (retailer)|Wako}} store. Not long after, the course makes a right U-turn near the {{wp|National Diet Building}} and the {{wp|Miraikan}}, then goes through a tunnel. As the {{wp|Tokyo Skytree}} and {{wp|Asahi Beer Hall}} come into view, the road makes a wide right turn back onto Rainbow Bridge. {{wp|Fuji TV}}'s headquarters can be seen on the left.

==Appearances==
This is the only course based on a real world city to have appeared in five different tours: the Tokyo Tour, the Summer Festival Tour, the 1st Anniversary Tour, the Mario vs. Peach Tour, and the 2nd Anniversary Tour. It also made a minor appearance on the [[Mario Tour]] as the third and final race on the [[Mario Tour#2-Player Challenge|2-Player Challenge]] mode.

==Trivia==
*The presence of [[Noshi]]s in the R/T variant of this course references the {{wp|kaiju}}.<ref name="dinosaur"/>
*Before the Summer Festival Tour, no kart had Tokyo Blur R listed as a favorite course; instead, its appearances in the Mario Cup and Toadette Cup relied on the spotlight bonus to raise the [[Kabuki Dasher]] and the [[Quickshaw]], respectively, to the top tier. This was the only course in the game to completely lack either drivers, karts, or gliders in the top tier by default.
