This article is about the original Tokyo Blur course in Mario Kart Tour. For subsequent versions of Tokyo Blur, see Tokyo Blur 2, Tokyo Blur 3, and Tokyo Blur 4.

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 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 Toad Circuit. The course is a favorite of Toad (Pit Crew), Mario (Hakama), Toad (Party Time), Daisy (Yukata), Peach (Happi), 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.

Appearances

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

Tokyo Tour

In the Tokyo Tour, Tokyo Blur served as the tour's signature course. It appeared as the second course in the Bowser Jr. Cup, the third course in the Baby Rosalina Cup, and the location of the bonus challenges in the Lakitu Cup and the Peachette Cup. Its T variant appeared as the first course in the Rosalina Cup and the second course in the Dry Bowser Cup, its R variant appeared as the third course in the Mario Cup and the second course in the Toadette Cup, and its R/T variant appeared as the second course in the Wario Cup and the third course in the Peachette Cup.

Trivia

  • The presence of Noshis in the Reverse/Trick variant of this course references the Kaiju.[2]
  • Before the start of 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 rely 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.
  • Tokyo Blur did not appear as the first course of the tour, as Tokyo Blur T did instead. This is the second time that a course's variant appears before its standard form in its debut tour. The first being New York Minute in the New York Tour.
