Reposting bonus point multipliers again. Reminder, these only take effect if the item is top shelf and lv 2+

Is it even worth it to fully empty the token pipes?
Gridning LA Laps 3 is boring as hell

>>1605352
Yes, but it's something that builds up over time. You'll have way more resources than other players if you do, but it is a pain. People here do it with an autoclicker.

>>1605352
New York 2 in the Yoshi Cup might be better if you’re using auto Gold Mario

I use Klick'r, previously called, smart autoclicker, I got it years ago on fdroid but I think it's also on google play now, it has a bit of a learning curve because it works based on screencaps, rather than time like the rest of those apps, so it's more efficient and virtually undetected, not that nintendo actually cares about that, at least for this game.
It comes with a tutorial to learn how to create scenarios to set the autoclicker to work.

>>1611077
Does it add a lot of coverage for you? There are no universally great items in this game, it all depends on your inventory.

Blazing Eagle has been good for me, but I agree with >>1611099. Don't get it if you already have coverage for its tracks.
Next tour is unusual with 4 ranked tracks for Blazing Eagle. Then it gets 1 ranked track per tour through May (!), and then mostly disappears until next November. Overall pretty decent.

Do you think Explorer Shy Guy or Daisy Mii is the better investment on Riverside R? (I have all miis)

sorry to bother again niggas
between iggy mii and cat mii which one has more ranked coverage?

>>1612571
I went with daisy mii, it has other rough ranked tracks as the best choice and the skill is somewhat good
>>1612584
both are bad choices but the Iggy suit is better, the cat suit has 35 tracks total and the Iggy one has 40

>>1612584
Iggy mii - 21x ranked
Cat mii - 15x ranked
I counted manually using the first post of this thread

Is this game going to enter EoS yet, I have zero reason to buy anything since I maxed everything out.

>>1612821
not for the moment, a lot of people believe MKT will last until the next mario kart game gets announced for the switch 2, and even then, nintendo has not much reason to kill it, since it's on loop mode now, it could easily keep going for years.

>>1612821
that's my planned stopping point
stop buying gp when I finish all the challenges, then stop playing altogether once everything is maxed out or they take the game away from me

W1 status: 1st place, but I'm probably going to be sniped Tuesday night.
2nd place T99 player has a Lv8 Winter Larry (Dino Dino R/T) and a Lv7 Light Blue Shy Guy Explorer (Riverside Park R). Probably also much better karts and gliders that what is currently shown. All-time high score slightly (~2k) above mine.
If I get passed, my response will be on Dino Dino R/T with my own Winter Larry (Lv8/4c) and also take my glider to Lv8. Could be either Tulip Corsage or Starchute.

>>1614267

Anyone got any tricks on how to get tokens in these shitty tours where you get them from hitting opponents

>>1616969
Giant banana drivers are the key, I went with riverside park t using the autoclicker, with wiggler suit, it doesn't get that many hits for being only a 4 item boxes track, but it's so short, it's more efficient than using the piranha plant slides, which can get you more hits but can take up to 3 times longer

it's over, how the fuck are you supposed to play dk mountain r/t to get the most points? do you take the half pipes on the first or second lap? do you avoid them entirely?

>>1619299
I avoid those pipes entirely unless I'm in a boomerang frenzy. My driver is DK Gladiator (>>1617607). Usually take the shortest inside path while trying to make mini turbos.
It is hard as hell to hold combo on this track, so I just had to grind it until I got a chance to boombox.
Giant banana could also work if you got the frenzies at the right times.

>>1619319

Status: 1st place with tough opponents. Not unexpected after an easy week last time.
Player #2 is tough, but beatable. But I also have a big Top 100 player lurking down at #19.
Waiting to see what #19 does, and whether to chase if passed. It might be a good strategic move to hold onto tickets, take 2nd place, and wait for an easier matchup for Win #30.

>>1622511
42k with fire rosalina is hella impressive, but you can probably beat that if you invest in Pinja.
for the other two you just have to grind for better runs, you can break 50k and 60k on them easily

>>1622511 (me)
Checked driver coverage for player #19:
Amsterdam 3: Mario Tuxedo, Lv8/3c or Peach Vacation, Lv8/2c
Bowser's Castle R: Wiggler Mii, Lv8/4c or Gold Mii, Lv8/4c or Petey Piranha Mii, Lv8/4c
Peach Gardens: Light Blue Mii (!), Lv8/4c
I am dead when he shows up, unless he has kart/glider coverage problems.

Peach Gardens sucks ass, I still can’t believe they picked it to be in MK8 instead of Airship Fortress, you can play them both in this tour and the difference in how fun they are is ridiculous

I've been wondering, is there a list of an optimal combination of drivers, karts and gliders for ranked considering the game is not being updated anymore? Or do they reshuffle top d/k/g for ranked?

As the Pink Speeder and Wonderful Garnet are both discounted right now, you really should buy them if you don’t have them

top dkg for every track are fixed, they're not gonna shuffle them (though honestly speaking that doesn't sound like a bad way to spice up the loop a bit)

Don’t forget to grind tokens in today’s bonus time and do your ranked runs during this token time too to get tokens for the shop faster
Also, Wiggler mii is in the shop and if you missed its discount in the Pipe Tour you should really consider getting it full price

That's a tough last-minute grind with an ice flower driver, and his Pinja is only Lv6/2c.

W2 status: 1st place so far. Two Tier 99 opponents at 5th and 20th place, both with weaker loadouts. Good chance to complete Extreme Challenges this week.

Amsterdam Drift 3 and DS Peach Gardens are both combo graveyards, but which one is worse? Personally I think Peach Gardens is terrible, it plays so slowly, there are janky invisible walls and holding combo is impossible, like it wasn’t designed for this game at all

>>1628168
regular PG is slightly worse imo

>>1628439
PG is terrible because the remake sucks, they forced it into Mario Kart 8 for some reason and cucked all of the actually good DS tracks, and it is in ranked *every* tour it appears in, screwing over those same other DS tracks which barely get to appear and not on ranked

lmao i chose team peach and we're eating shit

Dumbass question
Is player level 100 the maximum? I'm not getting any more EXP and I'm stuck at 24.7%, but I still get the message that I can get 100 coins for leveling up lol

>>1629569
Before level 100, every track gives a total of 100% player exp, after level 100, every track gives 70% player exp. Each individual track will only ever give you that much exp and won’t give you any more once it’s drained of exp

>>1629569
400 is the max.

>>1629222
Don't worry, it means nothing.
Except a few rubies (10 vs. 15) and coins (1500 vs. 3000), which often get made up back to you in pipes and rewards during the next tour.

>>1629569
Also, Amsterdam Drift 3R/T is the only track this tour to be exclusive to this tour so it should be the highest priority to grind EXP for, but the other Bowser tracks in this tour (GBA Bowser’s Castle 3 N,R,T and 3DS Bowser’s Castle all) are also recommended to grind now because their only other appearance is Bowser Tour which has a lot of of exclusive tracks that are higher priority to grind exp on when that time comes

There should be enough rubies in the tour for you to be able to buy the Santa mii, it’s pretty much the only thing other than Larry that’s important to get this tour

Vancouver Velocity 2 has one of the worst topshelves in the game (and this is WITH first track mii boost!), is anything other than Pokey mii good here?

>>1633220
points-wise, Pokey Mii is the best pick here
no drivers that get it at level 3/6?

>>1633184
Current game strategy is to invest in my favorite normal high ends up to Lv8/4c until I hit a scoring ceiling and struggle at ranked. Then I'll go back and boost my Miis, which are mostly sitting around Lv6/2c.

>>1633262
Fair, but I just feel like Larry isn’t that great of a coinboxer because of his small size + he’s overlapped by another coinboxer or a good mii on every one of his ranked tracks except Lakeside T and Paris 1R/T, and Lakeside T is pretty much his only good ranked track

>>1633352
If I need to, I'm going to quad cap my Moo Moo Offroader (Lv8/3c) to boost my scores (>>1633085) on Vancouver 3R and Snow Land.
It's really noticeable how small Larry is when his kart is also small.
My opponents are running mostly Mii suits as drivers, but lack Lv8 kart/glider coverage. I'm pretty much totally covered at Lv8 for ranked K/G, and just need to cap stuff.

Kart and Glider coverage is also tough on this track. The White Bruiser or Piranha Pipes fill some tough ACR gaps for my account; might take one to Lv6.

Chain Chomp Mii was useful for me the first time around the loop. But recently I haven't been using it as much since it's blocked by some newer drivers.

Volendam and Aurora are beautiful designs, but not seen much outside their feature tours. Tanooki and Cat show up in pipes a lot, but are not heavily used. Tanooki is fun in multiplayer.

Nothing to do but regrind. I can do better on Snow Land R/T.
It feels like the game is trying to push me into Miis by matching me up against heavy Mii users. I have a Lv7/2c Daisy Mii (>>1636272) for Merry Mtn R/T which I could take to Lv8 if needed.

Trivia - Only 5 tracks in the whole year do not have any topshelf mii drivers, and these are:
3DS Rainbow Road R/T x3 (New Year x2, Space)
SNES Mario Circuit 1 (Mario, non-mii boosted)
SNES Mario Circuit 3T (Mario vs Luigi, non-mii boosted)

How do you appear in a tour twice and not get mii boosted for at least one of them? Granted I don't know how mii boosting works.

Status: 1st place, same loadout.
Phone posting is hard.

Now that it’s basically over, between the two ice-themed tours, Sundae and Holiday, which one did you like better?
The main differences are that Sundae has:
>Sky High Sundae
>All Vanilla Lakes
>Luigi Circuit
Holiday has:
>Merry Mountain
>All Vancouver Velocities
>Snow Land
I think Holiday wins no contest, Merry Mountain’s perfect for christmas, Vancouver is one of my favorite cities and Snow Land fits the theme; meanwhile Sundae just sucks, Vanilla Lakes are practically unplayable and Luigi Circuit doesn’t fit the theme and is probably one of the worst tracks and remakes in the game

3DS Rainbow Road, the best track in the game, is finally back in some form!
If you count only R/T being in this tour as it returning, it’ll be in the game for a whole month before disappearing until this same time next year, so enjoy it and set high scores on it while you can

>>1640600
I do not care for this course or this tour.

>>1640635
What is your favorite track, then, if you somehow don’t like 3DS RR? (It’s my favorite)

Hint: Each of the 6 ranked tracks in this tour appear twice. Improving your ranked score is easier if you minimize the difference between the ranked and unranked versions of each track.
Bonus: Use a banana driver to gather tokens while grinding the unranked tracks.

If I switch from android to iphone will I keep everything as long as I use the same nintendo account?

>>1642394
I don’t see why you’re recommending people to grind the unranked versions of the ranked tracks, the score won’t carry over and you could waste a perfect run on a track if it happens on the unranked version

lv8 4c gold mario

I need to pivot toward strong Miis ASAP to remain competitive. For Week 2, I (>>1643721) might level up Wiggler Mii to replace Thai Daisy (Lv6/2c) on Cheep Cheep Island R/T. Next tour (Space), I have Knight Luigi (Lv6/2c) on Boo Lake T, and might level up King Boo Mii instead. For Winter Tour, my Mario Samurai (Lv6/2c) could be replaced by Koopa Clown Mii.
Long term, I also need to cover GBA Peach Circuit R/T for Vacation Tour next August with something other than Red Birdo. There are 5 crap Miis covering that track (Lemmy, Ludwig, Pink, Purple, and Light Green).

After improving existing scores, possible moves are to level up the Black Sneeker and quad cap the 8bit Fire Flower if I can get 2 more cap tickets.

Thanks autoclicker and Gold Mario for helping me finish this challenge.
I didn't know that combos could hold long enough with autoclicker.

ohh so I bust my ass grinding and spending tickets just to have some mofo beat me by 40k points?

Status update: Still 1st place. My 3 Tier 99 opponents are now 2nd - 4th. I had to work a little on Boo Lake T to stay ahead of #2, but still no tickets spent.

Even though gacha is long gone, I love how it’s still spiritually present with how whenever you use a halfpipe on Wii Rainbow Road you have to pray to RNG that your driver actually performs the boost instead of just randomly failing to get the boost for no reason

Yes

you think tour and switch 2 mario kart will coexist?

>>1655656
it really depends on what mechanics the new switch 2 game will have, I really want unlockable costumes for the drivers like the tour ones and it would be cool if the scoring system was implemented as another game mode, but if that were the case, I would be worried nintendo then considers tour as unnecessary competition and just kills it.

At the very least, Tour’s ideas clearly continue on because the new track appears to have Tour’s solid arrow fences which might mean it’s a Tour-style multi route track instead of an MK8-style all versions in one track

I think Tour will go offline shortly after Switch 2 (+ MK9) goes on sale, with a possible "MKT Complete" version of the mobile game coming online at the same time .
