Outside of the limitations of the control scheme, I'm really happy with the gameplay loop, specifically the combo system, T track versions and extra challenges (like bomb # goombas, etc). I mentioned it before, but I really hope they implement them into the main series because it's nice having that extra layer.As a Dev that's made a Kart style racing game, what do you think of Mario Kart Tour?
Okay, so you're saying there's only TWO High-End characters in the pipe? The Spotlight plus one other. The Spotlight has a 1.3% chance and the other has a 0.3% chance. If you draw both of them then there's no more High-End until next week with the new Spotlight?
As I've already drawn Kimono Peach, I've still got one more High-End character left in the pipe, but it's only a 0.3% chance of drawing it. As I want Hakama Mario, my odds of drawing him slightly increase next week as he becomes the Spotlight character.
EDIT: In addition, if I empty my pipe of all Super and Normal items, then can I ONLY get High-End items with my remaining pulls, regardless of the appearance rate?? Does that 0.3% chance now increase as the remaining alternatives are gone?
So looking at my 'Quantity By Rarity' section, I've still got a total of 70 Super & Normal items that can come out of the pipe. Once I've drawn all of them then I can only draw High-Ends next. I've got 74 pulls left on the pipe.
That's Lakitu or Morton.
I don't have him yet either :-(
Okay, so far people have had Peachette & Dry Bowser in the shop. Have any other High-End characters appeared in the shop?Earned enough skip tickets that I was able to play the cups ahead of time to earn Dry Bowser! I hope this is a sign that Peachette is the gold pass reward next tour. Saw her in the shop but decided to save my coins since I figured it would happen.
Oof, only one gold...
I've seen Metal MarioOkay, so far people have had Peachette & Dry Bowser in the shop. Have any other High-End characters appeared in the shop?
Peacehtte in the next tour makes sense, but now I'm starting to think the gold pass bonus characters will just be Metal Mario, Dry Bowser & Peachette on loop forever. Probably the same set of recolored bonus karts too.Earned enough skip tickets that I was able to play the cups ahead of time to earn Dry Bowser!

Yeah they'll probably not put the spotlight characters in shopI've seen Metal Mario
No one saw Pauline or Muscian Mario so I am assuming none of the temproary characters, karts or gliders show up.

After Rosalina got added as a super, despite being High-End in the beta, I think King Boo will also be a super. I'm not sure the game wants to add new permanent high ends at this juncture. STill early days, though, so we'll seeI think any of the "regular" high ends will be added as rewards. So if King Boo is a high end when he gets added, I could see him on the rotation.
But yeah, no tour specific characters.
I think Kamek has a shot after being considered in mk64 and recently mk8.Here's some roster prediction stuff. Give me yalls thoughts!!

- Cosmic Spirit (That Rosalina looking guide from Galaxy 2)
- any other Metal variant they add
Im assuming they want to pad out the lower stuff. So I put less unique newcomers at high end despite Pauline so idk. Bumped King Boo down given what they did with Rosalina, so I made some other unconfirmed vets follow suit. Funky though I could see being Dry Bowser tier as they were the two hardest unlocks in MKW.
Petey im 50/50 on
Yeah, after they bumped Rosalina down from the beta I'm curious to see what happens with King BooAfter Lakitu I'm not so sure all the Bowser minions will be commons. It could be though Lakitu was given special honors due to his role in the series being the iconic flagman.
For returning vets, I'd guess Wiggler would at least be a super. Paratroopa could go either way, he fits in better with commons, but is a vet who was also MIA for a huge time. They may give him special honors for his return and make him a super.
For the other missing vets, I could see Petey, Honey Queen, DK Jr., Funky, and ROB all being high ends. (Though this depends on King Boo's rarity somewhat) Birdo would definitely be a super since she's a regular Mario cast member like Diddy Kong.
I finally got around to playing this, am I missing something here or are the manual drift controls like bonkers? I basically have to drift for every single turn right?
How do I just turn slightly to correct my position on a straight road or if I exit a drift turn too crooked, or to get behind other karts to aim items, or to take short cuts without having to do a hard drift turn?
I tried using gyro steering but it's so delayed and requires like turning my phone so much just for like a 2 degree in-game movement it feels like it's broke. And on a vertical oriented game it's retarded having to wildly turn your phone so much.
I feel like I'm fighting the controls more than anything, nothing that I try feels good.
I'm on an iPhone 11 btw.
He was High-End in the Beta, but so was Rosalina, so it's not set in stone. I imagine he'll stay a High-End though.I can see King Boo being a high-end, if only beacause they're going to run out of high ends to give out in the gold pass after the next tour since only Peachette is left. Though I suppose Gooigi could be high end instead.
It's just me, or Tokyo Blur is the worst course in the game? Feels short and bland, hard to combo and un-rewarding. :(

Lots of good stuff on this list, but I really hope none of the Broodals are added. Despite Odyssey being an amazing game, I hate them soooooooooooooooooooo much. Such tacky, unappealing designs.Here's some roster prediction stuff. Give me yalls thoughts!!

Yeah. Throw in Meta Knight, a warp star kart, and a halberd kart too. Maybe for gliders we could get a Rick, Kine, and Koo one alongside a robobot armor one.If there are crossover newcomers I want Kirby and Dedede PLEASE
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I don't want to switch badges if I will permanently lose the one I have currently.Also, I was wondering, is there no way to see the badges you've earned from the last tour? I have the Double Cherry badge equipped right now from the last tour's challenges, but if I equip something else, it'll just be gone? Because that would really suck.
This is the beautiful future I would like to be a part of!Yeah. Throw in Meta Knight, a warp star kart, and a halberd kart too. Maybe for gliders we could get a Rick, Kine, and Koo one alongside a robobot armor one.

I was using the gold Bowser badge from the last tour and then switched it to gold Lakitu and have no way of going back it seems so if you like your badge from the last tour I'd keep it for now.Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I don't want to switch badges if I will permanently lose the one I have currently.
