Tokyo Blur is a race course in the Booster Course Pass for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Similarly to Tokyo Blur 4, it is an expanded and combined version of Tokyo Blur, Tokyo Blur 2, and Tokyo Blur 3; however, this version dedicates one lap to each variation of the course. It appears as the first course of the Lucky Cat Cup.
Tokyo Blur is one of three courses to originate from Mario Kart Tour to appear in the first wave of the DLC, alongside Tour Paris Promenade and Ninja Hideaway. This is also one of four tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe where players can hit the banner (causing it to spin), like Mario Circuit, DS Wario Stadium, and 3DS Neo Bowser City. Unlike the other courses mentioned, this is only possible during the final lap.
Course layout
Each lap of Tokyo Blur is based on one of the different variations of the course in Mario Kart Tour, with each lap visiting the respective landmarks of those stage. All of the racers start the course on the central span of the Rainbow Bridge. On the first lap, the track follows the layout of Tokyo Blur, where the road after the starting line curves to the right through Ginza, then an arrow field makes the racers follow a slight left before the Wako store. Not long after, the course makes a right U-turn near the National Diet Building and the Tokyo Dome as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building comes into view, before going through a tunnel. As the Tokyo Skytree, Asahi Beer Hall, and Tokyo Big Sight come into view, the road makes a wide right turn back onto Rainbow Bridge. Fuji TV's headquarters can be seen on the left.
The second lap follows the layout of Tokyo Blur 2, where the arrow field redirects the racers to turn right before the Wako store. After passing by two Thwomps, another arrow field points to the 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. As the player slights right then turns left at a signalized intersection, the road joins back to the Rainbow Bridge.
The third lap then follows the layout of Tokyo Blur 3. The arrow field in front of the Wako store once again points to the right, but this time, the ones after the Thwomps also point to the right, directing racers onto the Shuto Expressway, which is built along the Nihonbashi River. The toll plaza bar only opens when a driver passes through; the course then curves to the right. After passing by two Thwomps and after a wide turn up the spiral loop around the Tokyo Big Sight, a Glide Ramp enables the driver to fly out of Shuto Expressway and back onto Rainbow Bridge.
Unlike Tour Paris Promenade, Tokyo Blur's hazards from the Mario Kart Tour versions of the course - Thwomps - have been retained. The minimap has been rotated 90 degrees compared to the equivalent minimaps for the variants in Tour.
As with all other courses from Wave 1, this course's icon and lighting were adjusted slightly in the 2.1.0 update.
