Los Angeles Laps 3 is a race course from Mario Kart Tour, first appearing in the second Los Angeles Laps Tour, which took place in 2021. Despite the number "3" in its name, it is really Los Angeles Laps' second route, with Los Angeles Laps 2 (which was released seven months after 3 was released) being the actual third route.
Layout[]
Racers on this course start just before the four-way intersection, making a left turn near the Tongva Park and then a slight right as they go under a bridge and then left to go through the Los Angeles Convention Centre. The road curves right under the convention centre's canopy, followed by a slight left curve. There, the racers find a Glide Ramp that they must use to fly over the Dodger Stadium. Coins can be found here, arranged to form the outline of a baseball. After the gliding section, the racers make two left turns before continuing down a curvy road towards Two Rodeo Drive; a Dash Mushroom can be used to cut the corner at the start of the curvy road. Following Two Rodeo Drive, the racers make a sharp left turn, going straight at a three-way intersection and arriving at the starting line just afterwards.
In Mario Kart 8, the shortcut is grassy. While most of the first section sticks to Los Angeles Laps 1, when the racers reach the four-way intersection, they will be forced onto this route to finish up the section, with section 2 starting under the bridge, which was given a Mario Kart logo on the side that faces the pier. When the racers have travelled through this route and have reached the four-way intersection again, they will be forced to go straight, diverting onto Los Angeles Laps 2. A ramp replaces the original version's starting line.
