Tour Berlin Byways

Berlin Byways is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is based on Berlin, the capital city of, and made its debut in the Metropolitan Tour as one of two new city courses, alongside Amsterdam Drift 2. The course visits various landmarks of Berlin, including a section featuring the Berlin Wall with Whomps filling the gaps as obstacles. Similar to a few other city courses such as Paris Promenade 2, the starting line has racers facing the opposite direction of the original route. This behavior is shared with Amsterdam Drift 2. The course also appears as Berlin Byways R (reverse) and Berlin Byways T (with ramps).

This course is a favorite of Chargin' Chuck, Rosalina (Chef), Pink Shy Guy (Ninja), Birdo (White), and Dr. Bowser.

Despite being labeled as the original variant, this is actually the second playable route of the course. The route labeled as the second layout, Berlin Byways 2, debuted earlier in the Berlin Tour in 2021.

It appeared as the first course in the Rosalina Cup, the second course in the Daisy Cup, and the location of the bonus challenge in the Iggy Cup. Its T variant appeared as the second course in the Mii Cup and the first course in the Cat Peach Cup, and its R variant appeared as the third course in the Mario Cup and the first course in the Peach Cup.
