New York Minute 4

New York Minute 4 is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by New York City set in nighttime, and is the fourth and final layout of the overall New York Minute course. It made its debut in the 2nd Anniversary Tour due to the game's first tour being themed around New York. Similar to Tokyo Blur 4, the track visits every landmark and location found in the previous three iterations of the New York Minute course on a race divided by two sections instead of two laps. Due to this, it has a different Starting Grid layout.

The course is a favorite of Pauline, Baby Peach (Cherub), Luigi (Classic), Toadette (Explorer), Peach (Explorer), and Penguin Mario.

The course also appears as New York Minute 4R (reverse), New York Minute 4T (with ramps), and New York Minute 4R/T (reverse and with ramps).

Course layout
In the standard layout, the course starts out in front of. The player travels on the right side of the Y-joint on and takes a Dash Panel across some parked cargo trucks to a 270-degree loop around. After a sharp right turn, the player enters the Empire State Building and takes a right reverse curve through the tower's foyer before entering its parking lot. A gradual right turn follows, sending the player back to the front of Times Square for the second section. This time, the player follows the left side of the Y-joint, then takes a sharp right to the parked cargo trucks and taxis, which also features two dash panel ramp trucks (one with a Dash Panel and one with a Glide Ramp). After three more sharp rights behind the Empire State Building, the player reaches the finish line, finishing the race.
