Mario Kart Tour |OT| Tokyo Drift
- Thread starter Gartooth
- Start date
I would like to see the Combo System in the Next Console Mario Kart for some kind of leaderboards, trying to keep up the Combo is a fun way to experience Mario Kart as a Veteran
Agreed. I actually switched between Mario Kart 8 DX and this yesterday over the course of a few hours. Outside of the 'hot new thing' that Mario Kart tour brings I was surprised I was having MORE fun playing tour than I was playing MK8DX online.
Admittedly it was mostly because I was getting hit around 5-9 times per race in Mk8DX (as a defensive driver - holding shells behind me) and I was really enjoying the Combo system in Mario Kart tour more. Which; unlike the constant barrage of shells coming your way in MK8; is totally within the boundaries of your control and not planted firmly in the realms of frustration.
Critics who went in early with their reviews with preconceptions accused it of being a shallow imitation of the console versions when in reality it introduces a whole new depth to Mario Kart. I'm learning new ways to improve every day.
Trick and Reverse tracks really should be part of future home console installments; they're both really neat in different ways.
The latter is actually a scrapped idea from Double Dash, so it's cool that they finally included it here.

Yeah the trick courses are really fun, especially if you have a 3x combo kart to race with. Imagine trick courses in MK9 with the antigravity mechanic, it would ramp things up in coyrse design.
Except the Store has at max 9 items, all of which I already have and need to wait another day to see if I get. Stop making excuses for this. There is no way to "buy exactly waht you want", because the game decides what you can spend coins on.
tip for when driver/kart/glider XP resets daily, don't play with any maxed out items
the XP is not saved for non-maxed out items, its just wasted

The items I want to buy cost 12,000 for the characters and 10,000 for the other parts. There's no way to save up enough rubies for the amount of coins I need at the moment and not enough coins rewarded each day to get everything. Its pay up or pass and hope they show up again some day. Really, really shitty albeit tempting system in place.
I gotta have to say that yeah the negative is a bit overblown. It's not hot garbarge like someone would say. (Though if you don't like the game then that's fine.) As it is, it's a pretty admirable attempt at making Mario kart on phone. (I did play another Mario Kart knock-off on mobile and I would say it argurbly control worse than this.) Monetization aside it's a pretty decent racing game. With the point system, R and T variation of tracks gave it an interesting single-player experience that would be nice to become the series standard.
And as a mobile game players. You could done a lot worse (Heck I didn't expect Tour to be this close to actual Mario Kart at first lol. I thought it would be some sort of top-down racing even.)

You can get different high-end character in the pull still, I got Metal Mario and New York Mario. I am only missing 3 characters now.
Oh of course. But they'll more than likely be available in the general pool even after this banner versus being specifically featured like Pauline was (hell, she might show up in the general pool as well after this, thus diluting the overall pull percentage, blah blah blah). That's just the coin you gotta flip with these gacha games.
I'm in the same boat with 29 Rubies (enough to make 5). I already got Musician Mario from one of my earlier pulls so I'm thinking at least in my case it might be worth it to try now when I have a better chance at Pauline (who I'm still missing) than when Musician Mario becomes the spotlight?
I liked the beta but I'm really enjoying the full release. I've been able to get all of the stars each day (i.e. all cups which are open I have complete) but my pulls have not been as lucky as during the beta. I guess if I'm getting what I need it's not a problem for now but a few more drivers would definitely help.
As for the challenges I could really use a driver with a mustache but that goes back to my bad pulls. I also haven't sought out all of my friends yet so I only have the one added who I've talked with about the game since launch. I'll add the guys on here and share my ID too.

Nothing fairly interesting. But now you can access the shop from the main menu screen. And the shop has been arranged so the gacha pull come up before the Daily shop.
Although there's an update coming up (version 1.2) which will fix some technical issues in the game.
Also an option! Part of me feels like the "costumed" characters might be less likely to come back as often after their specific tours as "primary" characters like Pauline, and Musician Mario is "featured" on many of the same courses she is, so maybe I should just hold onto my rubies for whatever the next one is.
Missing 2 tracks to 5 star in the Dry Bowser Cup due to not having Dry Bowser himself and Musician Mario. I don't even want to talk about the Metal Mario Cup lol.
Bowser Shells, Mega Mushroom. Basically stuff that let's just drive through it.
Even though I have Metal Mario I still wouldn't able to get 5 stars on Yoshi Circuit T lol.
Run through them with a Mega Mushroom, Bullet Bill, or Frenzy. Bowser Shells work too.
14 Pulls, no Dry Bowser or Paulina but my very first Pull was Jazz Mario.
All cups perfected but three now.

The green Pipe obstacles near the end of Toad Ciruit and in every Snes Mario Circuit.

I used one before and it worked on every cup and cut it down a day.
Edit: wtf at the world rank scores...
Am I super lucky or just not understanding the odds right?
I just did the 45 gems for 10 items and got 3 Supers (Flame Flyer, Diddy Kong, and Mario) as well as Baby Mario, Baby Daisy, and Dry Bones.
Feels like I hit the jackpot on that one...

With CoD out today, I forgot that I downloaded this a week ago. Probably one of the worst conversions I've ever played of the franchise. Without multiplayer and terrible controls, I just don't see the point in playing more than a couple races tbh.

That's pretty good! It's fun to get a lot of new stuff instead of hitting the duplicates.
Well, read through the thread. We're already at 19 pages. There's a lot of us enjoying this.

I added you to the list, but I think you are missing a digit on your friend code? I only got 11 digits.
Yeah thete is supposed to be a 4 at the end, sorry its now fixed.
Seems likely since tour challenges 2 is coming in 14 hours and the update mentioned 1.0.2 is coming.
So I'm almost at 90 rubies, I guess I should just go with 2 10x pulls ? No need to hoard them outside of that am I right ?
I'm really curious how they'll handle it. I'm kinda expecting the worst though so I'm pretty certain Musician Mario will take the spot light on the pipe pull, the car/glider combo will stay the same and we won't have any new content until the month it done. Many of us are already finished with everything but you have to figure the causal players are still plugging along. That new challenge board will open up granting the remaining Grand Stars to obtain to get all the reward boxes and that's it.
