Sydney Sprint is a race course featured in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Sydney, Australia, and made its debut in the April–May 2021 Sydney Tour, the city's namesake tour. The course visits various landmarks of the city it is based on, including letting racers go inside the Sydney Opera as well as going through a street where passengers on a train car throw various items at the road.

This course is a favorite of Fire Rosalina, Cat Toad, Mario (Racing), Baby Mario (Koala), Mario (Baseball), Shy Guy (Gold), and Kamek. It is also a favorite of Yoshi (Kangaroo) if he reaches level 3.

The course also appears as Sydney Sprint R (reverse), Sydney Sprint T (with ramps), and Sydney Sprint R/T (reverse and with ramps).

A course combining elements from the Sydney Sprint courses appears in the second wave of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass.

Course layout

The city course's layout in
relation to its other layouts

In the standard layout, the course begins within an area in Port Jackson. After a reverse curve to the right, the player enters the Sydney Opera and makes a slight left amidst a cheering crowd to a Glide Ramp across the water. After passing under the Bradfield Highway, the player will make a 270-degree loop right amidst some Luna Park fairgrounds on the left to join the highway and cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge; while on the bridge, passengers from the Tangara train car operating on the North Shore line will throw random Mushrooms, Bananas and Bob-ombs onto the central span. The player then takes a long winding left through downtown Sydney before reaching the finish line.

Shortcuts

At the start of the course, there is a fountain at the side of the course. If the player uses a Mushroom to hit the fountain, they will be able to perform several tricks.
