Map of Tokyo Blur 2 from Mario Kart Tour

Tokyo Blur 2 is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Tokyo, Japan, and is the featured course of the New Year's Tour, where it made its debut. This is a reference to the course’s debut tour being themed to the Japanese New Year. The course also appears as Tokyo Blur 2R (reverse), Tokyo Blur 2T (with ramps), and Tokyo Blur 2R/T (reverse and with ramps). This course is a favorite of Pink Shy Guy, Cat Peach, Nabbit, Mario (Happi), Baby Rosalina (Detective), Cat Toad, and Bowser (Santa). It can also be a favorite of Peach (Happi) if she is at level 6.

The layout of Tokyo Blur 2 is used as the layout for the second lap of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's variation of Tokyo Blur in the Booster Course Pass.

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 right before the Wako store. After passing by two Thwomps, the course shifts left at a roundabout and continues straight (with a subway entrance and Akihabara shops visible on the left), then goes under an archway left of the Sensō-ji, where a kadomatsu can be found. As the player slights right then turns left at a signalized intersection, the road makes a wide right turn back onto Rainbow Bridge. Fuji TV's headquarters can be seen on the left. In the R/T variant, a gliding ramp is added on the Rainbow Bridge.

Tokyo Blur 2 is the first city course in the game to reuse its Coin Rush in a later tour.
