'''{{wp|Tokyo}}''' (Japanese: '''東京'''; Rōmaji: ''Tōkyō'') is the capital city of [[Japan]], situated near the south-eastern coast of the {{wp|Honshu}} island.

Tokyo is one of the cities [[Luigi]] visits in all versions of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''. In the DOS version, it is in the fourth level set; in the SNES version, it is in the third, final level set; and in the NES version, it is in the second pair of levels alongside [[Paris]].

Like all cities in the game, [[Koopa Troopa]]s have stolen artifacts from landmarks around the city: the [[Sensoji Temple Lantern|lantern]] from the [[Sensoji Temple]], a [[Sumo Apron]] from the [[Kokugikan Arena]], and an [[Great Buddha's Orange|orange]] from the [[Great Buddha of Kamakura]]. In the PC version, two additional items are stolen: a [[Mask from the Kabuki Theater|mask]] from the [[Kabuki Theater]], and [[Tong Tong|a panda]] from the [[Ueno Zoo]]. Before he leaves the city, Luigi must return the artifacts to their proper places.

''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' introduces a [[new course]] based on Tokyo, titled [[Tour Tokyo Blur|Tokyo Blur]], of which there are four different route variations. The first [[Tour Tokyo Blur#Tokyo Blur|Tokyo Blur]] track debuted in and served as the signature course of the [[Tokyo Tour]]. [[Tour Tokyo Blur#Tokyo Blur 2|Tokyo Blur 2]] served as the signature course of the [[New Year's Tour (2020)|2020 New Year's Tour]] as a nod to the tour's Japanese New Year theme, which is also its debut tour. A third version known as [[Tour Tokyo Blur#Tokyo Blur 3|Tokyo Blur 3]] was introduced in the [[Summer Festival Tour]], which was likely due to the city's reputation of hosting summer festivals nearly every year. In the [[Mario Tour (2021)|2021 Mario Tour]], [[Tour Tokyo Blur#Tokyo Blur 4|Tokyo Blur 4]] is introduced, which combines elements of the previous Tokyo Blur courses into a single route. All four Tokyo Blur courses return in the [[Mario vs. Peach Tour]], which is also the debut tour of Tokyo Blur 3's R/T varant.

Some landmarks of Tokyo can be seen in the courses, including the {{wp|Daikanransha}}, {{wp|Ginza}} and the {{wp|Wako (retailer)|Wako}} retail store, the {{wp|Kaminarimon}} and {{wp|Sensō-ji}}, the {{wp|Miraikan}}, {{wp|Mount Fuji}}, the {{wp|National Diet Building}}, the {{wp|Fuji TV}} headquarters, the {{wp|Rainbow Bridge (Tokyo)|Rainbow Bridge}}, the {{wp|Tokyo Big Sight}}, the {{wp|Tokyo Skytree}}, and the {{wp|Tokyo Tower}}.

Tokyo Blur appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', being the first course of the [[Lucky Cat Cup]]. The version of the track featured in this game combines the layouts of Tokyo Blur, Tokyo Blur 2, and Tokyo Blur 3 from ''Mario Kart Tour'' as individual laps.
