Sydney Sprint is a race course featured inMario Kart Tour. It is set inSydney,New South Wales,Australia, and made its debut in theApril–May 2021 Sydney Tour, the city's namesake tour. Like a majority of the other city courses, there are three routes for this course, which are named Sydney Sprint,Sydney Sprint 2, andSydney Sprint 3. The second route debuted in theSeptember 2021 Sydney Tour, and the third route debuted in the2022 Anniversary Tour. The course visits various landmarks of Sydney, with the first route taking racers through theSydney Opera House andLuna Park, the second route featuring the Mary Booth Lookout Reserve, and the third route focusing onBarangaroo Reserve. The first and second routes also feature theSydney Harbor Bridge, where passengers in a nearbyTangara 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 ofSingapore Speedway andAthens Dash), which generally condense landmarks down, every landmark featured in the varying routes of Sydney Sprint (except forUluru) 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.

Sydney Sprint returns as the first course of thePropeller Cup in theMario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The city course's routes in relation to each other.

Sydney Sprint[edit]

In the standard layout, the course begins within an area atCircular Quay. After a reverse curve to the right, the player enters theSydney Opera House and makes a slight left amidst a cheering crowd to aGlide Ramp across the water. After passing under theBradfield Highway, the player will make a 270° loop clockwise amidst someLuna Park fairgrounds on the left to join the highway and cross theSydney Harbour Bridge; while on the bridge, passengers from theTangara train operating on theNorth Shore Line will throw randomMushrooms,Bananas andBob-ombs onto the central span. The player then takes a long winding left through downtown Sydney before reaching the finish line.

At the start of the course, there is a fountain at the side of the course. If the player uses a Mushroom to hit the fountain, they will be able to perform severalJump Boosts.

The course also appears asSydney Sprint R (reversed),Sydney Sprint T (with ramps), andSydney Sprint R/T (reversed with ramps). In the T variant, several stationary vehicles appear on the Sydney Harbor Bridge, including acar, atruck, and adash panel ramp truck.

Sydney Sprint 2[edit]

This layout is driven in the opposite direction compared to the previous layout. Like the original Sydney Sprint, the course's standard layout starts out at an area atCircular Quay. After that, there is a long winding turn through downtown Sydney. After a turn to the left, the player can reach the highway and cross theSydney Harbor Bridge, where passengers from theTangara train operating on theNorth Shore Line will throw random items onto the central span, just like Sydney Sprint. Next, there is a turn to the right which leads to the Mary Booth Lookout Reserve. After another turn to the left, there is aglide ramp which takes the player across the harbor ofPort Jackson. Next, there is a small street with a singleramp at the end. After the ramp, the player returns back to the Circular Quay area. At this section, the player can choose to go on the upper route which contains somecoins, or the bottom route. TheSydney Opera House can also be seen at the background. After another turn to the left, the player reaches thefinish line.

The course also appears asSydney Sprint 2R (reversed),Sydney Sprint 2T (with ramps), andSydney Sprint 2R/T (reversed with ramps). In the R/T variant, the glide ramp is moved further down the track, appearing shortly before the Sydney Harbor Bridge. This change, in conjunction with several ramps, allows racers to potentially glide over the entire bridge section.

Sydney Sprint 3[edit]

Like the other two variants, this variant begins within an area atCircular Quay. The player drives in the same direction as Sydney Sprint, but instead of turning right, the player immediately makes a left turn, jumping into aFirst Fleet class ferry. After jumping out to a dock at Dawes Point, the path afterwards continues throughBarangaroo Reserve along a winding narrow path split down the middle, one half banking downwards into the turns while the other half remains level; the off-road portions in this area are strewn withboulders that may impede drivers trying to cut across. From this area, players can see Uluru in the far background. At the end of this section, the player turns to the right before they reach the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and race through the downtown of Sydney, before turning left one last time and reaching the finish line.

The course also appears asSydney Sprint 3R (reversed),Sydney Sprint 3T (with ramps), andSydney Sprint 3R/T (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the normal variant in the2022 Anniversary Tour, while the latter debuted in the2023 Anniversary Tour. In the R and R/T variants, passengers from theTangara train throw items onto part of the track, just before racers reach the ferry. In the R/T variant, racers drive over the ferry and are able to briefly land on it for an extraJump Boost off of a dash panel ramp.

The T variant is also one of the three track variants (alongsideBerlin Byways 3T andLondon Loop 3R/T) to not reappear in a future tour or tour rerun, appearing in only onetour.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

Tour Sydney Sprint inMario Kart 8 Deluxe

Sydney Sprint returns in theBooster Course Pass forMario Kart 8 Deluxe. It is the first course of thePropeller Cup, and as such is one of two courses fromMario Kart Tour to appear in the second wave, alongsideTour New York Minute. This version of the course is an expanded and combined version of Sydney Sprint, Sydney Sprint 2, and Sydney Sprint 3 fromMario Kart Tour. As Sydney Sprint 3 had yet to be released when this course was added in the Booster Course Pass,Tour Sydney Sprint is the one of the twoTour city courses alongsideAthens Dash to be added to the pass before all three variants were released, and due to Sydney Sprint 3's presence in this course, it is also the firstTour city course to utilize roads that were unused inMario Kart Tour at the time of it being added intoMario Kart 8 Deluxe. It and Athens Dash are also the only two courses to use routes prior to them debuting inTour, as all other instances of unused roads being used in the Booster Course Pass did not get used withinTour. The course has also received significant visual and musical upgrades. It is one of twoMario Kart Tour city tracks to not have its minimap rotated, the other beingTour New York Minute.

The first lap follows the layout of the first Sydney Sprint route, starting atCircular Quay and facing theSydney Opera House. The fountain next to the starting line is now surrounded by grass, is much smaller, and is level with the track instead of slightly raised up, acting as an off-road shortcut. Racers drive through the Sydney Opera House, glide out of it, take a 270-degree right turn throughLuna Park, and cross theSydney Harbor Bridge. While on the bridge,Toads throw coins from theTangara train, replacing theMushrooms,Bananas andBob-ombs they could throw in the original. The bridge now has ramps on it (in a similar vein to Sydney Sprint 2T, but not in the same arrangement)—however, these ramps are facing the opposite direction and cannot be used on this lap.Coins are located in small alcoves at the end of each ramp. At the end of the bridge, racers turn left and take a highway back to the starting line.

The second lap is a combination of Sydney Sprint 3 and Sydney Sprint 2. When the second lap starts, anarrow field points to the left taking players down Sydney Sprint 3's route, where the player jumps into aFirst Fleet class ferry before jumping out and onto a dock atDawes Point under the bridge. The path afterwards continues throughBarangaroo Reserve along a winding narrow path split down the middle, one half banking downwards into the turns while the other half remains level. At the end of that section, the layout transitions into Sydney Sprint 2's route, crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge from the opposite direction to the first lap, allowing racers to use the ramps in the middle. After, an arrow field directs players to the right through the Mary Booth Lookout Reserve, which they exit with a Glide Ramp acrossPort Jackson to a road between the shells of the Sydney Opera House. From there, racers drive past the starting line from the opposite direction of how they started the lap.

The third and final lap is based on Sydney Sprint R. As such, it follows the same layout as the first lap, though it goes in reverse, with the player first crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge (which again allows players to use the ramps), followed by taking a large turn through Luna Park, then gliding into the Sydney Opera House, and finally returning to the Circular Quay area where the race ends. This is the second city course inMario Kart 8 Deluxe to feature a lap based on an R variation.

Official posts made byNintendo have misspelled the course's name twice: once in aPlay Nintendo article, in which it is misspelled as "Sydney Spring",^[1] and again in the Nintendo Switch News feed, where the "Tour" prefix was misspelled as "Tourney".^[2] Official posts on Nintendo of America's social media accounts have jokingly called Sydney Sprint theBoomerang Flower's "native habitat",^[3][4] referencing the fact that boomerangs are strongly associated withAustralia, where Sydney is located.
