→‎Track layout comparisons: Seems self-explanatory given the above sections
(I was on the fence on doing this one for a week, but once I discovered the famous Super Curcuit shortcut had been short-of retained, I figured "Let's go for this".)

:''Unless otherwise stated, the Super Curcuit info also applies to Mario Kart DS, while the 8 Deluxe info also applies to Mario Kart Tour's standard layout.''
The ''Mario Kart Tour'' (and ''8 Deluxe'') layout is slightly narrowed in the X-axis compared to ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' (and ''DS''). The first sections through to the main jump sections are similar; the shortcut at turn 2 no longer needs a Mushroom in ''Tour'', the lead-in turn 4 into the 270° turn 5 is removed in ''Tour'' (resulting in a single turn 4), while the bounce mushroom in ''Tour'' correspond to the jump area in ''Super Circuit''.


The ''8 Deluxe'' layout is slightly narrowed in the X-axis compared to Super Curcuit. The first sections through to the main jump sections are similar; the shortcut at turn 2 no longer needs a Mushroom in ''8 Deluxe'', the lead-in turn 4 into the 270° turn 5 is removed in ''8 Deluxe'' (resulting in a single turn 4), while the bounce mushroom in ''8 Deluxe'' correspond to the jump area in ''Super Curcuit''.
At this point, the layouts diverge significantly. ''Tour'' skips ''Super Circuit''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s turn 7 and 8 entirely, while ''Super Circuit''{{'}}s turns 9 and 10 are merged into the much shorter turn 5. The following short left lead-in roughly correspond between turn 11 in ''Super Circuit'' and turn 6 in ''Tour'', and the following U-turn is turn 12 in ''Super Circuit'' and turn 7 in ''Tour'', although the lead-in is much shorter in ''Tour''.

The lower section is heavily simplified in ''Tour'', where the U-turn turn 8 covers what in ''Super Circuit'' is turns 13 through 17. ''Super Circuit''{{'}}s cloud shortcut that skips turn 13, is replaced in ''Tour'' by a cloud shortcut preceding turn 8. The final left jump in ''Super Circuit'' is replaced by a glider section in ''Tour''.
