→‎Trivia: Apologies if this comes off as a pointless addition, I just need to correct my last edit summary as the date Rock Rock Mountain's post's removal was noticed was actually February 16th 2024 (which is also the same date I personally noticed that Vancouver's post was removed).

-'''Vancouver Velocity''' is a race track in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. It is set in [[Vancouver]], {{wp|British Columbia}}, {{wp|Canada}}, and makes its debut in the city's namesake tour, the [[Vancouver Tour]]. There are three routes for this course, which are simply named Vancouver Velocity, '''Vancouver Velocity 2''' and '''Vancouver Velocity 3'''. The second route debuted in the [[Penguin Tour]], while the third debuted in the [[Autumn Tour (2022)|2022 Autumn Tour]]. The course's different routes take racers to various landmarks of the city, and even takes racers into more natural parts of the area. The first route takes racers over the {{wp|Capilano Suspension Bridge}}, the second route focuses on the {{wp|Lost Lagoon}}, while the third route features the {{wp|Vancouver Public Library}}. The second and third routes also feature the {{wp|Rogers Arena}}, which houses [[Skating Shy Guy]]s. Additionally, the second route starts in the opposite direction compared to the other two. The starting banner is notably based on the {{wp|Steam clock#Gastown steam clock|Gastown steam clock}}.

-Racers start the course in a street next to the {{wp|Vancouver Convention Centre}}, with the {{wp|2010 Winter Olympics cauldron|Vancouver Olympics cauldron}} up ahead on the right. After driving underneath the Olympics cauldron, players can see the entrance to the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park (referred to as "Vancouver Park" on signage) with a little concessions building on the left and the {{wp|Capilano Suspension Bridge}} on the right, where numerous [[Swoop]]s reside. After players make a sharp turn right onto the suspension bridge itself, they must make an S-curve on the bridge to a glider ramp, which takes them back behind the Convention Centre where {{wp|Science World (Vancouver)|Science World}} is visible in the background. Afterwards, taking a right turn brings the players to the street where the finish line awaits them. At the end of the course, the player can use a [[Dash Mushroom]] to pass through a small corner with some decorations.

+The course also appears as '''Vancouver Velocity R''' (reversed), '''Vancouver Velocity T''' (with ramps), and '''Vancouver Velocity R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In all three variants, the Swoops are gone. In the R variant, [[Snowman|snowmen]] now appear on the sides of the track between the suspension bridge and the Olympics cauldron. In the T and R/T variants, the gliding section is removed; in the T variant, there is instead a glide ramp at the start of the suspension bridge. In the R/T variant, there is instead a glide ramp where racers exit the park.

+Racers start the course in a street next to the {{wp|Vancouver Convention Centre}}; however, they are facing the opposite direction compared to the first route. After a right reverse curve through {{wp|Jack Poole Plaza}}, the player takes a sharp right, with {{wp|Science World (Vancouver)|Science World}} visible on the left. The player then enters the {{wp|Rogers Arena}} and drives across the ice rink before being launched out of a [[Cannon (Mario Kart series)|circus cannon]] across to {{wp|Stanley Park}} near the {{wp|Lost Lagoon}}. The player then takes another sharp right to travel along a shoreline to the right, then moves across a pedestrian bridge that arches right, with the {{wp|Lions Gate Bridge}} in the background. After two consecutive drops to a boardwalk with the sailboats from [[GCN Yoshi Circuit]], the player travels underneath the {{wp|2010 Winter Olympics cauldron|Vancouver Olympics cauldron}} via another right reverse curve to the finish line. The release of this layout marks the longest period of time between the release of two different routes, debuting almost two years after the first.
+The course also appears as '''Vancouver Velocity 2R''' (reversed), '''Vancouver Velocity 2T''' (with ramps), and '''Vancouver Velocity 2R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the R and T variants, figure skating [[Shy Guy]]s appear in the Rogers Arena. In the T variant, racers exit the arena at ground level and use a regular [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] a bit later. In the R/T variant, there is a [[Big Piranha Plant]] in the middle of Rogers Arena.

-The first lap follows the route of Vancouver Velocity, the second is based on Vancouver Velocity 2R while taking an unused exit from Rogers Arena at the end, and the final lap adheres to Vancouver Velocity 3's route. The {{wp|Capilano Suspension Bridge}} is now in [[anti-gravity]], making it the first city track from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to have an anti-gravity section (excluding the [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipes]] in {{classic-link|Tour|Athens Dash}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Los Angeles Laps}}). The ending shortcut along Vancouver's first route is now grassy. The gliding section of Vancouver Velocity 2R has been altered considerably, as there is no longer a cannon, and the route beneath it has opened up as a result. Additionally, the trees in the roundabout have been removed, with the roundabout itself having a ramp on it. Thus, the Rogers Arena hole racers were shot through or into was closed up, with "M Arena" insignia added in its place. The tunnel in Lap 3 has its right side closed off now, meaning it cannot be tricked off of when it ends.<ref>任天堂ホームページ (July 6, 2023). [https://youtu.be/i4ST0Kq9lXs Wii Tour バンクーバーバレー]. ''YouTube''.

-Vancouver Velocity is one of three courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to be present in the fifth wave, alongside {{classic-link|Tour|Athens Dash}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Los Angeles Laps}}. It is the only one that does not utilize sections. It is one of two city tracks from ''Tour'' to be the last track of a cup instead of the first, the other being {{classic-link|Tour|Singapore Speedway}}.

 A very brief portion of Vancouver Velocity's music was present within the internal data in version 2.1.0. The filename for the music snippet was "Cnsw_61", meaning it was assigned to the first course of the [[Acorn Cup]], as part of the sixth wave. The original snippet used a synth similar to the ''8 Deluxe'' arrangement of {{classic-link|Tour|Berlin Byways}}, but the final remix uses one far more similar to the original ''Tour'' track.

+==Trivia==
+*During the [[Ring Race]] challenge in Vancouver Velocity 3 in ''Mario Kart Tour'', the Olympics cauldron appears in an unlit state.
+*Uniquely, this course's spotlight post from the [[Nintendo Switch]]'s News app's ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' Channel for European regions was removed sometime after being released.
+**The Japanese spotlight for {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}} was also removed at one point, and was gone during the same period, but was later restored. It is unclear if any changes were made as it is listed under the original date.
