Singapore Speedway is a track in Mario Kart Tour that was the premiere track of the Singapore Tour. The track then received a second variant as of the Ocean Tour, and its third as of the 2023 Winter Tour. It then eventually reappeared in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of Wave 4 of the Booster Course Pass DLC, as the last track of the Boomerang Cup.
The track is based off of the city-state of Singapore. Unlike most other city tracks, Singapore Speedway's track design faithfully recreates the surrounding area that it is set in.
Layout[]
Mario Kart Tour[]
Singapore Speedway 1[]
In this variant, the race begins with the racers stationed on the middle of the Esplanade Bridge, where Merlion Park can be seen off to the left of the Start/Finish Line. Right after the start, the racers take a slight dip downward into the Central Area, before taking a series of left turns on a path with various planters in the middle, which all leads them to a circus-themed Cannon. After taking this barrel cannon, you proceed to be blasted up to the very top of the Marina Bay Sands. Once at the top, you are then greeted by a massive shallow infinity pool, of which has a few Goombas sitting in floaties acting as minor obstacles. There is also a raised path to the right of the infinity pool, where there are some Dash Panels present that can be taken. All of this leads to a glide ramp at the end of the top deck of the Marina Bay Sands, which sends you back down to ground level, where some Boost Rings are present in order to assist you to the bottom. After landing, players are sent under a large grandstand before emerging out and taking a prolonged left turn toward the finish line.
Reverse, Trick, and Reverse-trick Variants[]
The reverse and reverse-trick variants move the blimp to the southeast side of the Marina Bay Sands resort, so racers can bounce off it. In the trick variant, there is a part of the stands that has been cleared of spectators, and racers can drive on it. In the reverse-trick variant, the starting line is now in the infinity pool at the Marina Bay Sands.
Singapore Speedway 2[]
This variant starts out much like the previous, with you exiting the Esplanade Bridge and taking a downward slope to the Central Area. However, after this point, the player is then directed left right after the first set of planters, which leads them through the One Fullerton mall and toward a glide ramp. This then leads to a glide section over a massive lake where five rainbow geysers are present, of which you are able to get tricks off of. Once after this, the player is sent through and under the towers of the Marina Bay Sands, which then leads them toward the Gardens by the Bay. Here, two conveyer belts going in opposite directions are present, along with Mini Ramps placed on top of the ones going in the forward direction. This section of the track takes you through a huge inclined U-turn, before spitting you out toward the entrance of the Helix Bridge. After traveling through the bridge, you go off a ramp and take a right turn back toward the ending section of the first variant, where it then plays out as you'd expect.
Reverse, Trick, and Reverse-trick Variants[]
The trick variant adds a second glide ramp to the exit of the Helix Bridge as a shortcut. In the reverse-trick variant, the gliding section is replaced by chain-link bridges.
Singapore Speedway 3[]
Unlike the previous two variants, this variant starts in the opposite direction as opposed to before. Once after starting, you go down a straight before taking a large right turn toward a massive ramp with a Dash Panel positioned at the end of it, which leads to the top of the ArtScience Museum. Here, there are two ramps present, with the one of the left leading to the top of an overhang which ends in a ramp to the bottom, and with the one on right sending you to an area with a few planters and Sidesteppers that block the way. However, both paths end up leading to a Dash Panel ramp that sends players back on the main road and toward Chinatown, Singapore. In this section, players are sent through a Chinese market via a series of turns, the music also changes accordingly. Once out of Chinatown, players will take a right onto a straightaway before taking a left toward the finish, where they would climb up a slight incline beforehand.
Reverse, Trick, and Reverse-trick Variants[]
The reverse variant has a glitch that hits landscape mode, where an audience spawns floating in midair a short way into the Chinatown section during the course intro. The trick variant has a glide ramp where racers leave the roof of the ArtScience Museum. The reverse-trick variant has several water geysers throughout the course and a glitch where skipping the course intro while the camera overlooks the Chinatown leads to the Chinatown variant of the music playing at the start of the course, though the glitch ends when the racers leave the Chinatown or the player restarts the race.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[]
Singapore Speedway makes a reappearance as one of the tracks in the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. As with most city course conversions in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Singapore Speedway's variations were mixed and combined to form it into a proper 3 lap course. Along with that, it has also received a significant visual overhaul, with the sky and city lights being much more brighter and vibrant than before.
The first lap plays out almost exactly like the first variant from Tour, taking you through the Central Area and blasting you to the top of Marina Bay Sands, before returning back to the finish.
The second lap is a bit more interesting, however, as rather than having you follow the second variant's layout initially, you instead follow the first variant's layout for a more prolonged period, before being diverted into Chinatown, thereby having you race a portion of the third variant's layout. Once you are out of Chinatown, instead of heading back to the finish line, you are diverted onto the second variant's layout at last, with you traveling through the One Fullterton mall and taking the glider ramp over the lake and under the Marina Bay Sands. Interestingly though, once traveling under the Marina Bay Sands, the lap abruptly ends, with there being a checkpoint just before the Gardens by the Bay section.
The third lap continues along the second variant's layout, taking you through the conveyer belt section, now with the mini ramps removed, and through the Helix Bridge, which is noticeably less colorful than before. Once after the bridge though, instead of going back to the finish line via a right turn, you are instead diverted onto the third variant's layout once more, where you take a glide ramp rather than a Dash Panel over the ArtScience Museum. The split path on the overhang now has a few Dash Panels with some Item Boxes present, and along with that, the path on the right now has Boost Rings over it, (due to it being converted into a glide section) and the Sidesteppers have also been replaced by Goomba Towers. After this, you go off the Dash Panel ramp, and then proceed to take one last trip through Chinatown before finally returning to the Finish Line.

Shortcuts[]
- There is a slight corner cut before the cannon section, utilize this cut by using a mushroom or power item to save some time.
- Another slight corner cut is present just before the One Fullerton mall entrance, use a mushroom or power item to skip this corner.
- One last massive corner cut is present just before the finish line. Depending on what game you're playing this course on, there may or may not be a ramp in the middle of the off-road here. Use a mushroom or power item in order to take this final cut.

Trivia![]
- Although it faithfully recreates the city it is based on, Singapore Speedway is rotated relative to the real Singapore, with the Gardens by the Bay at its northwest area and the Chinatown to the southeast. The actual Singapore's versions of those sections are to the southeast and west of the Marina Bay Sands resort.
- This course was originally supposed to come as the first course of the Boomerang Cup (as evidenced by it being labeled in the files as "Cnsw_45").
