'''Paris Promenade''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It takes place in [[Paris]], France. The course has three routes, which are called Paris Promenade (known as '''Paris Promenade 1''' between versions 1.2.0 and 1.4.0), '''Paris Promenade 2''' and '''Paris Promenade 3''', with each route debuting in the [[Paris Tour (2019)|2019 Paris Tour]], the [[Valentine's Tour]] (a nod to the city's nickname "the city of love") and the [[Paris Tour (2021)|2021 Paris Tour]], respectively. A battle course version of the course named '''Paris Promenade B''' later debuted in the [[Spring Tour]]. Unlike most city courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'', this course is very compact and is set within a very small area with all three routes overlapping each other significantly, visiting the same landmarks as a result, such as the [[Eiffel Tower]] and the [[Arc de Triomphe]]. Additionally, the second route starts in the opposite direction compared to the other two. | '''Paris Promenade''' is a race course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It takes place in [[Paris]], France.

Instead, selected portions of the course are used, and players can drive on the selected portion in any way they desire. The parts of the course used only include the [[Arc de Triomphe]], the {{wp|Luxor Obelisk}}, and all roads in between. A road near the Arc de Triomphe that is not seen in any previous route is included. It was the final battle course to be added to ''Mario Kart Tour''. Like all other battle courses in this game, it uses the music for {{classic-link|SNES|Battle Course 1}} from ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. | ||

Paris Promenade makes its console debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' via the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. It is the first course of the [[Golden Dash Cup]], the first course in the pass overall, and one of three ''Mario Kart Tour'' courses added in the first wave of the DLC, alongside {{classic-link|Tour|Tokyo Blur}} and [[Ninja Hideaway]], which are featured in the [[Lucky Cat Cup]]. This version of the course combines all three of its routes from ''Mario Kart Tour''. | Paris Promenade makes its console debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' via the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''.

The first two laps act as a combined version of Paris Promenade 1 and 3 with some aspects of 2, using elements and pathways of all three versions. Players start facing the [[Arc de Triomphe]] and can go around either side of it (like in Paris Promenade 3T), or through the [[wooden cutout]]s of Piranha Plants underneath it using a [[Dash Mushroom]] or [[Super Star]]. After a gradual left, players will take a Glide Ramp over the {{wp|Jardins du Trocadéro}}. Afterwards, the player is given two routes they can choose from. One goes underneath the Eiffel Tower before turning left like in Paris Promenade 1 and 2; the other turns left just before the Tower, then turns right at the {{wp|Luxor Obelisk}}, like in Paris Promenade 3. Both paths lead to a roundabout with a [[Big Piranha Plant]] in the center. Afterward, the path takes after Paris Promenade 3, circling around to the other side of the Luxor Obelisk and turning back towards the starting line. | The first two laps act as a combined version of Paris Promenade 1 and 3 with some aspects of 2, using elements and pathways of all three versions.
