This course has three routes named Singapore Speedway, '''Singapore Speedway 2''', and '''Singapore Speedway 3'''. The second route debuted in the [[Ocean Tour]], while the third debuted in the [[Winter Tour (2023)|2023 Winter Tour]]. The first route has a strong focus on the {{wp|Marina Bay Sands}}, the second route takes racers through the {{wp|Gardens by the Bay}} and the {{wp|Helix Bridge}}, while the third route takes racers over the {{wp|ArtScience Museum}} and through {{wp|Chinatown (Singapore)|Chinatown}} Additionally, similar to [[Tour London Loop|London Loop]], the first and second routes have the racers go around Singapore counterclockwise; however, the third route has them go around clockwise instead. This course uses a unique music arrangement when racers are in Chinatown; this is the only city course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to feature music that changed depending on where racers currently are.

Notably, unlike other city courses, which generally condense landmarks down, the area in which the track is set is modeled largely after a real life space, that being the {{wp|Central Area, Singapore|Central Area}}. Most buildings, including generic skyscrapers, as well as certain routes match up with their respective placements in the actual Central Area.

The first route has a strong focus on the Marina Bay Sands, the second route takes racers through the Gardens by the Bay and the Helix Bridge, while the third route takes racers over the ArtScience Museum and through Chinatown.

This city course's routes in relation to each other.
In the standard layout, the course begins on the Esplanade Bridge, in between St. Andrew's Cathedral and Merlion Park. Racers drive along a brief straightaway before going down a slight downhill slope leading to the Central Area. It takes a slight right on a divided road, then takes two sharp lefts to a Dash Panel and a circus cannon leading to the top of Marina Bay Sands. The entrance to Chinatown can be seen in the area. After that, the course features a shallow underwaterinfinity pool with Innertube Goombas. On the side of the pool, there are several Dash Panels. Next, there is a Glide Ramp with two following Boost Rings that take the player across the grandstand of The Float @ Marina Bay with the Esplanade Theatres in the background. The player then goes underneath the floating platform, and then makes a sharp left afterwards to the finish line. In the course, a blimp with the Mario Kart Tour logo can be found in the background, though in the R and R/T variants, it is featured as a course element.
The course also appears as Singapore Speedway R (reverse), Singapore Speedway T (with ramps), and Singapore Speedway R/T (reverse and with ramps).
The R/T version of this route is one of four courses in Mario Kart Tour that does not start in the same place as the original, the others being 3DS Rock Rock Mountain T and 3DS Rainbow Road T and R/T. In this case, the starting line is in the infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands.
Singapore Speedway 2
Similarly to Singapore Speedway, the course begins with a slight downhill slope leading to the Central Area. However, this time the racers take a left turn through the One Fullerton mall leading to a glide ramp that sends players in between the towers of the Marina Bay Sands, with the Merlion being visible on the right side of the track before the gliding section begins. During the glider section, a row of five geysers with a rainbow effect applied will sprout up in a set order, allowing for mid-air tricks. After they have finished gliding, players drive through the Gardens by the Bay. Similar to Toad's Factory in Mario Kart Wii, the road is split into two conveyor belts (which have the same appearance as the escalators in Wii Coconut Mall), one half going forwards and the other half going backwards. Players can drive on either side to either drive faster or slower. Unlike Toad's Factory, however, these conveyor belts have small ramps players can use to do tricks, somewhat like the ones in Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 8. The conveyor belt stops after the racers take a reverse curve, taking them onto the Helix Bridge. Players drive off a ramp before driving down to The Float @ Marina Bay. The player then goes underneath the stands, and then makes a sharp left afterwards to the finish line. In the trick variant of the course, Boost Rings are added to the gliding section.
The course also appears as Singapore Speedway 2R (reverse), Singapore Speedway 2T (with ramps), and Singapore Speedway 2R/T (reverse and with ramps).
Singapore Speedway 3
Singapore Speedway 3 starts in the opposite direction of the other two. It begins similarly to Singapore Speedway R, but instead of gliding up to the Marina Bay Sands, the player instead turns to the right, driving on top of the ArtScience Museum. After tricking off of it, the player lands on a boulevard with roads circling palm trees, although they can also drive on a roof next to it. After that, the player makes a jump before making their way to Chinatown, Singapore, where an alternate version of the Singapore Speedway music will play. After two sharp turns, the player eventually makes their way out of this segment, and have the possibility of taking an off-road ramp shortcut before reaching the finish line.
The course also appears as Singapore Speedway 3R (reverse), Singapore Speedway 3T (with ramps), and Singapore Speedway 3R/T (reverse and with ramps).

Trivia
There exists an Template:Media link of the course's theme that lacks synth and percussion.
A glitch exists when using landscape mode on Singapore Speedway 3R, where an audience will spawn floating in midair a short way into the Chinatown section during the course intro. It cannot be seen during gameplay or auto mode.[2]
