New course: Difference between revisions

A '''new course'''<ref>Musa, Alexander (May 30, 2014). ''Mario Kart 8'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. The section about the new courses on page 44 is known as "'''''THE NEW TRACKS'''''".</ref><ref><tt>new</tt> internal name of the folder containing the data about the newly introduced courses in ''Mario Kart Tour''</ref><ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS-games/Mario-Kart-7-274402.html#Overview Official European page for ''Mario Kart 7'']</ref> is a course in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series that is new to the series and has never appeared before. New courses appear in the [[Mushroom Cup]], [[Flower Cup]], [[Star Cup]], and [[Special Cup]] (and in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', [[Lightning Cup]]), with each cup containing four new courses (five in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''). They often take the name of the game they were derived from: in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', the original tracks are called '''Super Circuit Tracks''' to distinguish them from the tracks originating from ''Super Mario Kart'', called Extra Tracks. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', the new courses are known as '''Nitro Courses''' from the project codename for the [[Nintendo DS]], Project Nitro. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the new courses are known as '''Wii Courses'''. Most of them have reappeared in later ''Mario Kart'' games as [[classic course]]s. Starting with the DLC cups in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', new courses can appear in the same cup as classic courses.

In all the console games, at least one [[Mario Circuit]], [[Bowser's Castle#Mario Kart series|Bowser's Castle]], [[Rainbow Road]], beach- or water-themed course, and ice- or snow-themed course have appeared as new courses. While ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' does have all of these except a beach- or water-themed course, its Mario Circuit, Bowser's Castle, and Rainbow Road have only been in the form of [[remix course]]s.

A subset of ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''{{'}}s new courses are referred to as '''city courses''' and are specifically set in real life cities. These courses typically appear in tours themed after their pertinent city, such as [[London Loop]] in the [[London Tour]]. There are up to four different layouts of city courses, with the fourth layout typically being a 1-lap circuit that incorporates most of the routes of the three previous layouts.

Despite [[Sky-High Sundae]] appearing in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' as part of the Booster Course Pass first, ''Mario Kart Tour'' also treats this race as a new course instead of a classic course.

Since the content of each cup changes periodically in ''Mario Kart Tour'', courses below are simply listed in the order in which they were introduced to the game.

Unlike other games in the series, ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' has no courses unique to [[Battle Mode]]. Instead, eight of the game's original 32 race courses (two new, six classic) are modified and used as battle courses.
