Mario Kart Tour: Difference between revisions

''Mario Kart Tour'' features 103 different race courses (136 if each route is counted for courses with multiple re-routes), the most out of all ''Mario Kart'' games. Until the [[Anniversary Tour (2023)]], at least one additional course was added at the start of almost every tour. Notably, ''Mario Kart Tour'' introduces course variants,{{footnote|main|note}} with courses having up to three variants in addition to the normal one:

*Courses marked with "R" (Reverse), labeled "SI" (Sens inverse) in French, are driven in reverse orientation, and mostly just have alterations to make this possible if necessary or to add in some course elements. Every race course in the game has an R variant.

*Courses marked with "T" (Trick),<ref>{{cite|quote=#MarioKartTour has grown significantly since launch…and it's not over yet!

Some specific T variants feature other alterations, such as adding Kanaami Roads to replace glider sections (like in [[DS Airship Fortress|DS Airship Fortress T]]), changing the order the course is traversed in (like in [[N64 Kalimari Desert#N64 Kalimari Desert 2|N64 Kalimari Desert 2T]]), or even changing the starting location (like in [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|3DS Rock Rock Mountain T]]). Every race course in the game except [[GBA Bowser's Castle 4]] has a T variant.

*Courses marked with "R/T" (Reverse/Trick), labeled "SI/A" (Sens inverse/Acrobatique) in French and "RX" (Reverse Extreme) in all other languages, feature the elements of both R and T courses. As such, they go through the course backwards while adding more ramps, Kanaami Roads, and other obstacles with which to perform Jump Boosts and combos. Unlike with R and T variants, many courses were introduced without R/T variants and gained them later on. Originally, R/T variants only appeared for city courses, with them introduced in the same tour as the city course's other variants, but classic courses would start having them as well beginning with the [[Winter Tour (2019)|2019 Winter Tour]], after which every tour has had three to five R/T variants (of any course type). From then to the [[Trick Tour (2020)|2020 Trick Tour]], each tour saw one to three new ones added. Every race course in the game except GBA Bowser's Castle 4 and 3DS Rock Rock Mountain has an R/T variant.

*Courses marked with “B” (Battle) are modified for use within [[Battle Mode]], and typically take place within a condensed version of the course. Only two race courses in the game have a B variant, being [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]] and [[Tour Paris Promenade|Paris Promenade]].
