History

Mario is Missing!

Map of Tokyo
The map of Tokyo as it appears in the SNES version of Mario is Missing!

Tokyo is one of fifteen cities Luigi visits during the events of the game Mario is Missing! Along with New York City, Rio de Janeiro, Cairo, and London, it is one of the five cities that need to be rescued before the final boss of the game, Morton Koopa Jr., can be battled.

Three artifacts were stolen by Koopa Troopas from several landmarks in the city: an orange from the Great Buddha of Kamakura, a lantern from the Sensoji Temple, and a Sumo Apron from the Kokugikan Arena. Luigi's task is to check the Troopas in the city for the artifacts, and then to return them back to the appropriate landmarks.

Mario Kart Tour introduces a new course based on Tokyo, titled Tokyo Blur, of which there are four different route variations. The first Tokyo Blur track debuted in and served as the signature course of the Tokyo Tour. Tokyo Blur 2 served as the signature course of the 2020 New Year's Tour as a nod to the tour's Japanese New Year theme, which is also its debut tour. A third version known as Tokyo Blur 3 was introduced in the Summer Festival Tour, which was likely due to the city's reputation of hosting summer festivals nearly every year. In the 2021 Mario Tour, Tokyo Blur 4 is introduced, which combines elements of the previous Tokyo Blur courses into a single route. All four Tokyo Blur courses return in the Mario vs. Peach Tour, which is also the debut tour of Tokyo Blur 3's R/T varant.

Some landmarks of Tokyo can be seen in the courses, including the Daikanransha, Ginza and the Wako retail store, the Kaminarimon and Sensō-ji, the Miraikan, Mount Fuji, the National Diet Building, the Fuji TV headquarters, the Rainbow Bridge, the Tokyo Big Sight, the Tokyo Skytree, and the Tokyo Tower.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Tokyo Blur appears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of the Booster Course Pass, being the first course of the Lucky Cat Cup. The version of the track featured in this game combines the layouts of Tokyo Blur, Tokyo Blur 2, and Tokyo Blur 3 from Mario Kart Tour as individual laps.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
