Rome Avanti

Rome Avanti is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is based on the city of Rome,, and as such takes racers round many landmarks and sites from the city, such as the Colosseum. The course made its debut in the Night Tour, and is the second city course to not debut in a tour named after the city, the first being Athens Dash. It is also the first city course to debut alongside a classic course since Paris Promenade, over three years earlier. The course is the sixth European city course and is the first of them to be set at night. "Avanti" in the course's name is an Italian word that roughly translates to "onwards", making this the first Mario Kart course to feature a non-English word in its English name. The starting line for this course resembles the front side of the Pantheon.

The course has two routes, Rome Avanti and Rome Avanti 2, which will both debut together. The two routes feature many unused roads, indicating the course will have a third route in the future. The first route is a favorite of Light-blue Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Mario (Sunshine), Luigi (Vacation), Toad (Tourist), Donkey Kong (Gladiator), and the Wario, Dry Bowser, and Dry Bones Mii Racing Suits, and the second route is a favorite of Red Toad (Pit Crew), Blue Shy Guy, Daisy (Farmer), Petey Piranha (Gold), and the Black, Purple, Pokey, Blue, Lemmy, Daisy, and Monty Mole Mii Racing Suits.

Excluding courses announced simultaneously, this course and Squeaky Clean Sprint mark the shortest period of time between the announcement of two new courses for the Mario Kart series, with only a 16-hour gap, beating the previous courses with this distinction, Piranha Plant Cove and Yoshi's Island, by five days.
