Amsterdam Drift 3 incorporates aspects from the previous two routes, with it featuring a short underwater section in the canals at the start, a trail through {{wp|Keukenhof}} featuring tulip fields and [[Piranha Plant]]s in the middle, and a path through the streets of Amsterdam before the finish line. It is the only city course route so far to debut in a Team Rally.
This route begins in the same place as the other routes, on {{wp|Damrak}}, only facing away from the {{wp|Amsterdam Centraal station}}, like with Amsterdam Drift 2. Racers take a slight right before entering the {{wp|Singel}} canal. Instead of going left like they would on Amsterdam Drift 2, racers go straight ahead to continue through the canal before turning left and coming out in the {{wp|Keukenhof}} tulip fields. Racers avoid [[Piranha Plant]]s while serpentining through the field before driving through the {{wp|Rijksmuseum}}. Racers take a sharp right, into an even sharper left to re-enter the streets of central Amsterdam. Like in the first route for the city, racers avoid moving trams here, before taking two last 90 degree left turns to the finish line.

Amsterdam Drift is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Like with a majority of the game's other city courses, this course has three routes: Amsterdam Drift, Amsterdam Drift 2, and Amsterdam Drift 3. The first route debuted in city's namesake tour, the Amsterdam Tour; the second route debuted in the Metropolitan Tour alongside Berlin Byways; and the third route debuted in the November–December 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour alongside DS Peach Gardens. The first route takes players through the Zaanse Schans and the streets of central Amsterdam, the second route takes players into the Singel canal, and the third route takes racers through a large tulip field and some parts of central Amsterdam. Amsterdam Drift is the only city course to have all three of its routes released in the same year. Additionally, the first route starts in the opposite direction compared to the other two.

Portions of this course is set underwater in the canals of Amsterdam, making this the only city course so far with mandatory underwater driving, and the third city course with underwater driving altogether, after Los Angeles Laps and Singapore Speedway.

The first route is a favorite of Luigi (Golf), Mario (Aviator), Rosalina (Volendam), Donkey Kong Jr. (SNES), and the Nabbit and Pastry Chef Mii Racing Suits. The second route is a favorite of Toadette (Explorer), Baby Mario (Koala), Penguin Mario, Penguin Toadette, Rosalina (Volendam), Daisy (Farmer), Rosalina (Chef), Petey Piranha, and the Gold Mii Racing Suit. The third route is a favorite of Peach (Vacation), Yoshi (Egg Hunt), Mario (Tuxedo), Luigi (Painter), Rosalina (Volendam), Toadette (Sailor), and the Toad, White, and Rocky Wrench Mii Racing Suits.

Amsterdam Drift

In the standard layout, the racers start the course on Damrak street, in between the Royal Palace of Amsterdam and De Bijenkorf, while they head towards Amsterdam Centraal Station before making a right turn. After that, the racers make a left turn while they pass the Montelbaanstoren, followed by going underneath the NEMO Science Museum and through the IJtunnel. The racers then glide over a river acting as both the IJ in Amsterdam and the Zaan at the Zaanse Schans, in between the mills Het Jonge Schaap and De Zoeker while avoiding their sails. They then make their way to a dirt road with Monty Moles (Goombas in the T variant) and a shortcut ramp. Houses and windmills resembling those found on the Zaanse Schans at the Zaanse Schans appear in the background of the area. The course eventually leads to a Dash Panel, making the racers jump onto a ferry. This is followed by another jump from the ferry onto the paved road again. The racers then go down the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal street, which leads right behind the Royal Palace, along with Hotel Die Port van Cleve and the Former Amsterdam Main Post Office (currently a shopping mall known as Magna Plaza). There, there is a moving tram which drivers can run into for a Jump Boost. The road makes a gradual left, transitioning into the Rokin street and going past Gebouw Industria, before leading to the finish line. In the T and R/T variants and the Do Jump Boosts bonus challenge of the course, the player can go underwater in some parts of the course.

The course also appears as Amsterdam Drift R (reverse), Amsterdam Drift T (with ramps), and Amsterdam Drift R/T (reverse and with ramps).

Amsterdam Drift 2

In the standard layout, the racers start the course on Damrak street, in between the Royal Palace of Amsterdam and De Bijenkorf, but unlike the first Amsterdam Drift, racers now head away from Amsterdam Centraal Station, where they then take a slight right turn before heading into the Singel canal. Racers take a sharp left turn in the canal and maneuver in between many warp pipes with currents coming out of them. A serpentine turn is taken before heading to a straightaway. Here, racers can chose to drive out of the water and on to a boat on the canal briefly. Passing the boat, there is a fork in the road where players can either go straight ahead, and then take a 90 degree left turn, or take a 90 degree left turn earlier, and then take a right turn again after. When both routes meet up again, they lead to a ramp that leads out of the canal again, and back to the surface outside the Amsterdam Centraal Station. One final left turn is taken before reaching the finishing line.

The course also appears as Amsterdam Drift 2R (reverse), Amsterdam Drift 2T (with ramps) and Amsterdam Drift 2R/T (reverse and with ramps).

The release of this layout marks the shortest period of time between the release of two different routes, debuting less than two months after the first.

Amsterdam Drift 3

This section is referring to a subject in an upcoming or recently released tour. When the tour is released, or more information about this subject is found, this section may need major rewriting. This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the tour was first released.

This route begins in the same place as the other routes, on Damrak, only facing away from the Amsterdam Centraal station, like with Amsterdam Drift 2. Racers take a slight right before entering the Singel canal. Instead of going left like they would on Amsterdam Drift 2, racers go straight ahead to continue through the canal before turning left and coming out in the Keukenhof tulip fields. Racers avoid Piranha Plants while serpentining through the field before driving through the Rijksmuseum. Racers take a sharp right, into an even sharper left to re-enter the streets of central Amsterdam. Like in the first route for the city, racers avoid moving trams here, before taking two last 90 degree left turns to the finish line.

Amsterdam Drift 3 is the only city course route so far to debut in a Team Rally.
