-Moonview Highway makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Night Tour]]; it was the penultimate classic course added to the game, as well as the final Wii course. Visually, the buildings in the city portion of the course resemble the ones in [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]]. Rather than having windows lit with different colors with an emphasis on yellow as in the original, building windows are colored in a variety of different shades, but are no longer multicolored on an individual basis. Spotlights aimed at the sky are now visible in the city portion of the course. The Mushroom Moon and Green Fuel sponsors have been recreated with 2D artwork, although Petey Piranha's cameo appearance in The Mushroom Moon has been replaced with Bowser. The course now uses the vehicles from [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways 3]]. The Bob-omb Cars return and use their design from [[GCN Mushroom Bridge]]. The Miis in the tollbooths are now replaced with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and [[Shy Guy]]s. The LED signs are now static images. The sirens heard in the city portion have been removed. The tunnel section now has fans attached to the ceiling. The course has been slightly condensed vertically, which is most noticeable with the reduced distances between the tunnel and second toll booth, and said booth and the starting line. Many [[Dash Panel|Dash Panels]] have been rearranged somewhat, though many of the original placements are retained. The chunk of offroad in the opening section of the course is now level with the main road, instead of being raised. The cars move slower and no longer speed up when they enter the city. The toll booth bars now use the same sound effect heard in [[Wii DK Summit]]. The rabbit icon marking the exits of the city has been replaced with a yellow version of the heart icon used in ''Wii''.
+Moonview Highway makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Night Tour]]; it was the penultimate classic course added to the game, as well as the final Wii course. Cars now use designs from [[Tour Berlin Byways|Berlin Byways 3]], trucks use their Mario Kart 8 designs, and Bob-omb Cars return with their design from [[GCN Mushroom Bridge]]. The number of vehicles on the map has been significantly reduced, all vehicles now move slower, and they no longer speed up when they enter the city. Within the city, they no longer change lanes, instead each vehicle is assigned to either the inner or outer lane for the whole section. The course itself has been slightly condensed vertically, which is most noticeable with the reduced distances between the tunnel and second toll booth, and said booth and the starting line. In the first section, the slope on the left cliff has been extended to cover the entire turn, but the slope on the right cliff has been cut short. All extra [[Item Box|Item Boxes]] along both cliffs have been removed, except for a few atop the dash panel ramp on the right side. The trickable slope that elevated the second patch of grass has also been removed. The guard rail on the left side of the road has been extended, now preventing racers from falling off until the sharp turn before the bridge, and the bridge itself now also has guard rails on both sides. In the city section, many [[Dash Panel|Dash Panels]] have been rearranged somewhat, though many of the original placements are retained. These dash panels have also had their width increased. Lastly, all sets of Item Boxes no longer have gaps where traffic would drive through, and there is a new set shortly before the tunnel. The moving Item Boxes in the city section are still present as well.
+Visually, the buildings in the city portion of the course resemble the ones in [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]]. Rather than having windows lit with different colors with an emphasis on yellow as in the original, building windows are colored in a variety of different shades, but are no longer multicolored on an individual basis. Spotlights aimed at the sky are now visible in the city portion of the course. The Mushroom Moon and Green Fuel sponsors have been recreated with 2D artwork, although Petey Piranha's cameo appearance in The Mushroom Moon has been replaced with Bowser. The Miis in the tollbooths are now replaced with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and [[Shy Guy]]s. The LED signs are now static images. The sirens heard in the city portion have been removed. The tunnel section now has fans attached to the ceiling. The toll booth bars now use the same sound effect heard in [[Wii DK Summit]]. The rabbit icon marking the exits of the city has been replaced with a yellow version of the heart icon used in ''Wii''.
 The course also appears as '''Moonview Highway R''' (reversed), '''Moonview Highway T''' (with ramps), and '''Moonview Highway R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R variant, Mushroom cars from {{classic|GCN|Mushroom Bridge}} appear on the course, some trucks have Dash Panels on them, and a [[Glide Ramp]] is added at the entrance of the city. In the R/T variant, the Mushroom cars from the R variant are retained, and a glide ramp at the beginning of the course has racers driving on top of the tunnel.
