This article is about the original Tokyo Blur course in Mario Kart Tour. For subsequent versions of Tokyo Blur, see Tokyo Blur 2, Tokyo Blur 3, and Tokyo Blur 4.

Template:Racecourse Tokyo Blur (referred to as Tokyo Blur 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 Tokyo, Japan and makes its debut in the tour in the city’s namesake tour, the Tokyo Tour. The course also appears as Tokyo Blur R (reverse), Tokyo Blur T (with ramps), and Tokyo Blur R/T (reverse and with ramps). The course's music is based on the theme of Toad Circuit. The course is a favorite of Toad (Pit Crew), Mario (Hakama), Toad (Party Time), Daisy (Yukata), Peach (Happi), and Bowser Jr. (Pirate).

This course has three additional versions, the most out of any city course alongside New York Minute: Tokyo Blur 2, Tokyo Blur 3, and Tokyo Blur 4, introduced in the New Year's Tour, Summer Festival Tour, and Mario Tour, respectively.

Tokyo Blur reappears in the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the first course of the Lucky Cat Cup.[1]

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 left before the Wako store. Not long after, the course makes a right U-turn near the National Diet Building and the Miraikan, then goes through a tunnel. As the Tokyo Skytree and Asahi Beer Hall come into view, the road makes a wide right turn back onto Rainbow Bridge. Fuji TV's headquarters can be seen on the left.

Appearances

This is the only course based on a real world city to have appeared in five different tours: the Tokyo Tour, the Summer Festival Tour, the 1st Anniversary Tour, the Mario vs. Peach Tour, and the 2nd Anniversary Tour. It also made a minor appearance on the Mario Tour as the third and final race on the 2-Player Challenge mode.

For this course's tour appearances, see List of Tokyo Blur tour appearances in Mario Kart Tour.
