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.
