'''Vancouver Velocity''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It is set in [[Vancouver]], {{wp|British Columbia}}, {{wp|Canada}}, and makes its debut in the city's namesake tour, the [[Vancouver Tour]]. There are three routes for this course, which are named Vancouver Velocity, '''Vancouver Velocity 2''' and '''Vancouver Velocity 3'''. The second route debuted in the [[Penguin Tour]], while the third debuted in the [[Autumn Tour (2022)|2022 Autumn Tour]]. The course's different routes take racers to various landmarks of the city, and even takes racers into more natural parts of the area. The first route takes racers over the {{wp|Capilano Suspension Bridge}}, the second route focuses on the {{wp|Lost Lagoon}}, while the third route features the {{wp|Vancouver Public Library}}. The second and third routes also feature the {{wp|Rogers Arena}}, which houses [[Skating Shy Guy]]s. Additionally, the second route starts in the opposite direction compared to the other two. The starting banner is notably based on the {{wp|Steam clock#Gastown steam clock|Gastown steam clock}}. | '''Vancouver Velocity''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

At the end of the course, the player can use a [[Dash Mushroom]] to pass through a small corner with some decorations. | ||

The {{wp|Capilano Suspension Bridge}} is now in [[anti-gravity]], making it the first city track from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to have an anti-gravity section (excluding the [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipes]] in {{classic-link|Tour|Athens Dash}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Los Angeles Laps}}). The ending shortcut along Vancouver's first route is now grassy. It is now possible to briefly go underwater in the Lost Lagoon. The gliding section of Vancouver Velocity 2R has been altered considerably, as there is no longer a cannon, and the route beneath it has opened up as a result. Additionally, the trees in the roundabout have been removed, with the roundabout itself having a ramp on it. Thus, the Rogers Arena hole racers were shot through or into was closed up, with an "M Arena" insignia added in its place. The Massey Tunnel has its right side closed off now, meaning it cannot be tricked off of when it ends.<ref>任天堂ホームページ (July 6, 2023). [https://youtu.be/i4ST0Kq9lXs Tour バンクーバーバレー]. ''YouTube''.
