Madrid Drive is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by the city of Madrid, Spain. The course takes racers through many landmarks of the city such as the Plaza Mayor and the Puerta de Alcalá. The course has two routes, Madrid Drive and Madrid Drive 2, both of which debuted together in the 2023 Summer Tour. The first route takes racers to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the second route features Retiro Park and the Market of San Miguel. The course features unused roads for a third route, featuring the Museo del Prado and the Madrid Atocha. The course is the seventh course set in a European city. The course features Shoe Goombas playing soccer, Wigglers and Thwomps. The fences seen across this course use the same color scheme as the ones seen in Berlin Byways, albeit in a slightly different pattern. The starting line for the course resembles the gate for the Royal Palace of Madrid.

The course's music heavily utilizes acoustic guitars and claps; reminiscing traditional Spanish flamenco music, or palo. It is the second city course after Singapore Speedway to feature an alternative version of its theme - namely, when entering the stadium in its first layout, the song is replaced with a version based on a cheering crowd. Also like Singapore Speedway, a third, currently unused version of the music is present in the files.

  • This course shows Puerta del Sol prior to a renovation which started in 2022 before the course's release, in which the fountains, the glass metro station entrance, and the road with this course's starting line were demolished.
