This article is about the original Paris Promenade course featured in the 2019 Paris Tour. For subsequent variations of Paris Promenade, see Paris Promenade 2 and Paris Promenade 3.

Template:Racecourse Paris Promenade (referred to as Paris Promenade 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 Paris, France, and makes it debut in the city's namesake tour, the 2019 Paris Tour. The course also appears as Paris Promenade R (reversed), Paris Promenade T (with ramps), and Paris Promenade R/T (reversed and with ramps). The course is a favorite of Cat Peach, Peach (Vacation), Mario (Santa), Luigi (Classic), and Waluigi (Bus Driver).

In the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Paris Promenade returns as the first course of the Golden Dash Cup.[1]

Course layout

The course begins at a road facing the Arc de Triomphe. One bypass road for the Arc appears on the left side, though the player can also use a shortcut inside the Arc by breaking through two Piranha Plant wooden cutouts. After a gradual left, the player encounters a Glide Ramp that sends them over the Jardins du Trocadéro and underneath the Eiffel Tower, where some Goombas reside. Afterwards, the player must make a sharp left, followed by another left next to a Big Piranha Plant and a bypass of the Luxor Obelisk leading to the finish line.
