Tokyo Blur 4

Tokyo Blur 4 is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Tokyo, Japan, and is the fourth and final layout of the overall Tokyo Blur course. It is the featured course of the Mario Tour, where it made its debut. This course combines all three previous layouts of the Tokyo Blur course; due to this, the race is divided into two sections rather than two laps. It is the second new course to appear in two consecutive tours after Merry Mountain, and the first city course to do so.

This course is a favorite of Blue Yoshi, Nabbit, Daisy (Yukata), Cat Toad, Mario (Racing), and White Yoshi.

The course also appears as Tokyo Blur 4R (reverse), Tokyo Blur 4T (with ramps), and Tokyo Blur 4R/T (reverse and with ramps).

The idea of combining all three layouts of the Tokyo Blur course later resurfaced as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's variation of Tokyo Blur in the Booster Course Pass.
