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.

Paris is the capital city of France. It makes it's appearance in the Paris Tour with the course Paris Promenade. A battle course version of the course named Paris Promenade B later debuted in the Spring Tour.

## New York City, New York

New York City is a city in the United States. It makes it's appearance in the New York Tour with the course New York Minute. A battle course version of the course named New York Minute B later debuted in the 2022 Autumn Tour. The inclusion of this course makes the United States the only country to be represented by more than one city course, being this along with the Los Angeles Laps courses. The name of the race comes from an American expression used to designate very short intervals of time. Like the similarly inspired New Donk City from Super Mario Odyssey, New York Minute features a number of references to Donkey Kong, including the Times Square jumbotron displaying the original arcade game. In reference to her status as mayor of New Donk City (which is based on New York City), this course is a favorite of Pauline.

This is the first city to not be a Capital City.

## Singapore City

Singapore City is the capital city of Singapore. It makes it's appearance in the Singapore Tour with the course Singapore Speedway. The first route has a strong focus on the Marina Bay Sands, the second route takes racers through the Gardens by the Bay and the Helix Bridge, while the third route takes racers over the ArtScience Museum and through Chinatown. The first and second routes have the racers go around Singapore counterclockwise; however, the third route has them go around clockwise instead. This course uses a unique music arrangement when racers are in Chinatown; this is the only city course in Mario Kart Tour whose music changes depending on where in the course racers are.

Notably, unlike other city courses (except for Sydney Sprint), which generally condense landmarks down, the area in which the track is set is modeled largely after a real life space, that being the Central Area. Most buildings, including generic skyscrapers, as well as certain routes match up with their respective placements in the actual Central Area.

## Sydney, New South Wales

Sydney is a city in New South Wales, Australia. It makes it's appearance in the Sydney Tour (2021) with the course Sydney Sprint. The course visits various landmarks of Sydney, with the first route taking racers through the Sydney Opera House and Luna Park, the second route featuring the Mary Booth Lookout Reserve, and the third route focusing on Barangaroo Reserve. The first and second routes also feature the Sydney Harbor Bridge, where passengers in a nearby Tangara train throw items onto the road. Additionally, the second route starts in the opposite direction compared to the other two. Unlike most other city courses (with the exception of Singapore Speedway), which generally condense landmarks down, every landmark featured in the varying routes of Sydney Sprint (except for Uluru) is from the general area of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge; unlike Singapore Speedway, though, no routes closely approximate roads or paths featured in the actual city.

This is the fourth city to not be a capital city after New York, Vancouver and Los Angeles.

## Tokyo

Tokyo is the capital city of Japan located near the south-eastern coast of the Honshu island. It makes it's appearance in the Tokyo Tour with the course Tokyo Blur.
