Mario Kart Tour |OT| Tokyo Drift
- Thread starter Gartooth
- Start date
That's the truth. I've been all in on gatcha before, I can't do that to myself ever again.
Dino Dino Jungle T on Toadette Cup. As it's a T variation it feature lot of ramps you can do tricks on them.
Here some advice when a new day starts:
-don't focus on doing new cups when available
- instead Level up your stuff to work for the bonus card rewards 1-2 till you reach the daily limit. After that do your cups
- Gold Pass User should play in 200 cc because this class earns you more exp after the races

Getting over 10K points on these tracks will be a real challenge yeah, still don't have that much trouble getting 4 shines though.
without getting Franzys it is impossible, so you really need the recommended characters, which two are super Rare
4* for sure is doable
Grab the Qoo-App app from here: https://www.qoo-app.com/en and install it, then from inside Qoo-App you can download and install Mario Kart Tour. Despite being very anime and asia-focused I've found it to be the best third-party app-store for games as it will also take care of updates.
"I'm enjoying this game, but I won't support it by purchasing anything."
Ehh...
I hate how mobile games have trained people to expect everything for free.
Nintendo tried all-in-one transactions with Mario Run and people didn't want that.
LMAO at the blatant luck-based 5 star point requirements for these last two cups, I think I've gotten a score over 10,000 on exactly one single track in the entire game so far. I'll settle for the 4 star ranks and see how far I can get with the rest of the tour gifts, plus Bowser showed up in my shop so I can finally get those two gold challenges that need him.
So, finished all cups that are in the game right now, last cup wants over 10000 points for all 5 stars, pretty crazy.
Hoped for a surprise Rainbow Road at the end, but nope, just variations of old tracks.

Of course, you'll have to spend money or get via obscure challenges...
This game can be fun but I really hate these f2p economic sheanigans...
Easiest on Mario Circuit 1. Either aim a Bowser shell or use a mega mushroom to run them over.
Get off to a bad start, try to keep to the back of the pack and hope for the necessary items.
I eked out just enough grand stars to get the rubies for one more 10 pull and was rewarded with Pauline. WOOT
I've gone about as far as I can go with the cup stars, but assuming the second week of tour challenges is comparable to the first, I might be able to get all the tour gifts between those stars + daily challenge stars + star tickets.

7000 points with a character with horns is the last challenge I have on these limited cards. That's proving more difficult than I anticipated.
What a load of bullshit that challenge is. I just tried like 10 times and never got the big mushroom and only 2 bowser shells.
Even with the steering assists off, the auto steering can fuck you over while aiming and I can't even drive bad enough to be in the back of the pack because this game forces me to take over the opponents.
Trying this opened my eyes to all the smoke and mirrors even more. Mario Kart was always about boosting worse placed players and luck but this is getting out of hand.
I also thought the other drivers are real players and the missing multiplayer is for friends games but no one can be that bad that they still lose to me trying out to drive as bad as possible.
And the points system for stars is just another luck contest. What a bullshit game.
This game is fun and really frustrating at the same time. I always felt like no matter how crazy MK gets with the items, you can always end up pretty high as long as you're good. But this one just feels too chance based, 2 laps is too short to get yourself in first place again, especially in 150cc, CPU have never been this vicious before, they know all the shortcuts, they use slipstream perfectly while you're on shitty touch controls, and they know how to use their items on perfect moments. Coupled with the way you unlock cups and everything, it just ends up being frustrating. This game is obviously designed to suck the money out of you. Just wish these tracks were MK8DLC.
So I guess when the dust settles and we all have a nice pool of the common characters, the 'meta' will be to save up 450 rubies and wait for a nice featured character to do 100 pulls for.
And winning means jack shit because the points matter and for that you need a good driver/cart/glider combo.
To be fair i have everything 5 stars with the higher rarity character i have beeing peach and no ultra rare kart/glider (hopfully my last pull gave me 1 ultra rare glider and 2 karts)
This tour is going for another full week, just the gacha will swap out Pauline for Musician Mario and we'll get the second page of challenges. Right?
I just can't get the 5th grand star in Diddy Kong cup's New York Minute. Got all the others, but that shit's brutal. Just gonna come back after I've leveled more.
I agree that it's hard to make a significant upsets due to the 2 lap structure especially in 150cc. If you get pushed to around 7th place or so at the beginning of the 2nd lap, it's very likely you're not making top 3. You have to rely on items due to the nature of the game, but often times the items you can manage to snag in that one lap aren't gonna be enough to cut through. I have shot from 8th to 1st before and it's really sick, but it feels very luck based in that regard, even more so than standard MK.
That's probably what they're thinking the point of having gliders that boost your ability to get bullet bills and such are for though, which is eh.
All this is offset a bit though by the combo system, which at least makes you feel like you're accomplishing stuff even in the back of the pack. I've finished like 6th before and finally got the 5th grand star I needed just cause I combo'd my face off. Love that system. Hope it becomes standard.

That person is technically correct
You can't purchase the ticket directly
However, it is behind a paywall
You need the gold pass, it's one of the rewards you get from the rewards boxes.
Edit: As of right now, you can get a quick ticket through the shop(if it appears) for 1,000 coins and you can get one for completing the tour challenge

I'm not sure myself, although it would really suck to have this current set for another week and a half. lol
The shell cup leaderboards give their payout once we hit Wednesday and the Pauline event ends. It could be that leaderboards just switch to a different cup in the current set, but I assumed we would get a full new list of cups once week 1 is over and we hit week 2 of New York.
I think I'll indulge on the 5 buck gold pass. I'm actually enjoying this more than expected and it scratches that itch for Mario Kart 9(10). May as well enjoy those 44 days of 200cc lol.
Is it really worth running 200cc over 150cc? The final challenge was nearly impossible for me on 200cc, but I cleared it in 3 tries on 150cc.
Nah. 200cc is really just to get through races faster in order to grind out your player level more quickly than on 150cc.
That's the plan. Plus 150cc feels slow after loads of 200cc in 8.
There's actually 3 tickets obtainable, 2 behind gold pass and 1 behind making all weekly challenges, when they reset after the end of the week there will be another one probably
So on each cup, 4 tickets are obtainable, 2 with the pass and 2 by playing
Turned off auto item throw, and it's really comin together now. Was afraid to turn it off as throwing items can be a little though with drift only steering, but I've gotten the hang of it now and being able to hold items you need is making the whole system feel less random.
I do wonder how that works with Frenzy though. Like if you decide to keep 2 shells, will it make it easier to get a 3rd for Frenzy?

How does a mobile game have more characters and almost as many tracks at launch than the full blown game on console!!
