Important Concept of Break Points in Mario Kart Tour

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

Disclaimer: The rounding phase of the calculation (Ceil) occurs after each of the favorite course/top shelf items have been determined in the formula. This means that base points of your kart and glider will have an impact on the break point for your loadout. You will receive a maximum of one additional point for rounding (multiplied by your action count).

Kevin G is on a whole other level! Consider my mind blown! Well done as always KG!

[@Couch000]

One of your best and eye-opening videos. Hats down

[@ellewoods8836]

Glad to see you back!

[@tourdekart]

This is amazing information thank you for breaking all this down Kevin!

[@Crazi12980]

The Mario Kart Tour communities appreciate the work that you do for us Kevin. These are the kinds of quality videos that we come for, covering unique and overlooked yet important topics of the game's inner workings. I collect the Mii suits and invest into them so this video was especially relevant to me. I will definitely review my strategy with them to further optimize my game as a mainly Gold Pass player. Thank you again for the content 🙏

[@Donttezzaho]

Yes! You explain things soooo well! I literally gained some brain cells just by listening lol. I struggle with understanding what to invest in, how can I optimize my options to get the best score, and the Spreadsheet is still a challenge for me.

Thanks for the credit Kevin! I love when people use the graphics I provide in order to showcase a visual explanation of the many different formulas featured in this insane game!

Great video KG! 😊

Baby Park RT is tough to cover and I have Nabbit Mii Racing Suit at lvl3. Mii shop has 70 ruby discount on him even for a dupe. New Years Tours Week 2 ONLY Ranked Reward includes the ? Block Mii Racing Suit, which will really benefit my account and lead me to finally invest in two top skill Miis. I’m ticket prepared now to take both to lvl6 where my coverage tops out. Thanks for your content, I enjoy them all!

[@cardsfaninkc5]

Great video, thanks for sharing this useful info that I was totally unaware of! From the video title, I momentarily thought this video was going to be about a breaking point you had hit with MKT. Glad to see that wasn’t the case!

[@jacoblee6769]

Very interesting stuff. Really changed how I look at Mii Racing Suits and how I should invest into drivers for sure. Great video!

[@Keenangoal]

Hi Kevin Can I ask where you got your data from . The DKR.Exe sheet is showing a level 8 break point at 1940- your video shows 1950

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

I recommend you watch the follow up video that I posted to the channel.

[@bbeight3843]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is a decent summary of this video that the more mii suits you have the more powerful they become? I get it that the progress is slower than may be perceived and negligible (especially if they are not at the highest levels). But if your goal is "high scores with miis", then you literally cannot get the best scores without investing the rubies into many (if not all) drivers. I am missing 17 miis at this time but own 24! My base points for miis therefore start at 1030 which is 230 higher than a non-mii high end driver. Instant single-uncapped base points feels great. I can double-uncap for when I need an item for ranked and it looks triple uncapped! Suppose you want to get to the next break point and it is 3-5 drivers away - you simply can't "get there" without going through the iterations of all the mii suits that it takes to hit that next level. So to me it should always be worthwhile to buy a suit (if you can afford it) even if it isn't getting you that next level because _something_ has to be a "worthless" purchase to make the final one worthwhile. With my 100-300 rubies available I'm not going to be able to buy them all but over time I will try to keep buying them as I can afford them because it isn't as though I can buy 3 suits at once when I need to hit that next base point break point since there is some randomness to how they can be acquired. They're certainly a long-game strategy. Even more than before given when I think I've learned from your video. I thought all the base points make a HUGE difference on scoring potential and maybe in the normal increments (800=>980=>1190 or +180/+210 for drivers) that is a big enough jump to make a big difference in the action scores but the +10 from miis barely scratches the surface it sounds like? Thanks for helping us crunch the numbers and understand the meaning - super sad though it may be with my Level 1-6 miis.

The information from this video is presented to allow for different and unique interpretations for each individual. Strategy in Mario Kart Tour is greatly varied so that there is no consensus best for every kind of player. I’m appreciative that you found the information to be encouraging for you to assess your best pathway with a closer attention to detail. In a vacuum, the Mii Racing Suits have the greatest scoring potential. The amount of coverage they provide reduces the value of their score per resource unit (rubies & tickets) across the complete collection of courses in MKT. This is verifiable through the optimization tools available to the community. It’s a dense topic to get into, feel free to ask if you would like to hear more about this concept. The reason for saying that is it only makes sense to make these investments based on the amount of available resources you have, related to the money spent in the game. The value of having a fully powered up Mii increases for players who are higher up on that spectrum. If you’re somewhere in the middle, which most people are, it is valuable to understand the scope of what you’re getting involved in by purchasing all the Mii Racing Suits up because the resources are essential for your success. I really enjoy seeing people get the most out of what they want to do with them.

I have a question. The community has previously found an easy way to find bonus points boost, by simply doing the formula (level - 1) x (base points/100). Some people have made charts using this formula. Would favorable rounding change the charts in a significant way? For example, looking at a driver with 1,190 base points and at level 6. In the previous formula, it would be 59.5. However, with favorable rounding taken into account, the “total” bonus points boost would be 59.75 (30 for getting 30 points extra every action and 29.75 for every action at the end of the race). Basically what I’m asking is should the charts be changed to reflect favorable rounding or does it not make much of a difference? I know this video was more focused on the Miis, but I found this interesting for regular drivers, karts, and gliders. Anyways, this was a very interesting video, I’ve always been curious of how the game took into account rounding the bonus points boost, because obviously you can’t have a decimal point value, but I wasn’t able to find anything on the matter of how rounding worked in the game. Thank you for finally answering that question!

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

The new table is in the works. It’s all a matter of how precise everyone would like to perceive their experience. The old tables are not going to misguide you, but there’s a lot to gain from understanding the true model. The gain isn’t so much in the tens of points difference that some may confer, but from the vantage point of how and where to take your inventory over time. That’s of great comfort and importance to many folks out there.

[@karimj5268]

Hey Kevin. Thanks so much for this. I have a question. Are the driver bonus points boost done independently from that of the Kart and Glider? Or are your total base points of all 3 items combined and then calculated? And I just realised that you can have items at different levels and thus must be calculated separately. Sorry for asking such a silly question. But hey, glad you made me think. Good to see you back Kevin!

[@karimj5268]

To follow up Kevin, is there favourable rounding on your final Bonus points per action? If you have 129.4 BPB/action, is that not rounded up to 130? If so, then these key break points will give 2 points per action (410 points on a 200 action run), where as other 10 base points increases can possibly give no bonus points boost at all, no? You will just get the extra 10 base points added to your score? Not sure I have this right. Thanks again Kevin.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

@@karimj5268 the items are calculated individually, you are correct. As for the total bonus-points boost, I refrained from showing a complete calculation to keep it concise and understandable. The value is entirely run dependent. We can do it here for illustration: Base Points: 1840 X (Lv 8 - 1) = 12880 X (200 Actions) = 2567000 X (150 / 30000) = 12880 X (1) = 12880 As you can see, no rounding is needed in this example. If there was an instance where it did, the ceiling would be applied to the final product. 12880 / 200 actions is 64.4, which we would add the the 65 from each action of your run to obtain 129.4. That composite number doesn’t represent a single calculation in the game, it’s an abstract to allow us to directly compare our inventory parts. The main finding in this content is the practical application of bonus-points boost in the race itself alters the previously listed values from the tables.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

Just to flesh it out more to make it all interrelated for you, that 12880 gets added to your player level for the cc you’re racing in at the finish line. For a player at Lv 300, when they cross the finish line for that quality of run the number gained at the line would indicate 19880 (7000+12880). But when you are on the score screen, it wouldn’t be 19880 under bonus-points boost. That number would be: (65 x 200) + 12880 = 25880 (For the driver alone-repeated for the kart and glider added to this figure) That’s why most people have trouble making heads or tails from any of this.

[@tj9143]

Wow very interesting thanks for the info I’m not buying the mii suits just collecting them from rank this definitely reinforces my strategy for my acct

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

That is a very sound conclusion to draw from the material.

(Antenion) Hi Kev! I hope you're doing well and I wish You a very happy new year! It's great to see You back. What a way to start 2023. This is such an insightful information. Thank you for sharing this with the community. From my situation, as a F2P player, I don't Focus into the Miis, as aquiring every single one, specially after the 3.0.0. update, would let me Dry of my rubies. Instead, I Keep playing like the old times, focusing on tradicional drivers and also karts and gliders, all three equally important. Having this in mind, part of my optimization with my management and resources, is taking my most promosing items to lvl 6 triple uncaped, the original max out cap in the first era of MKT. This allows me to focus on more ítems. Once I hit that ceiling, I go info the next one. Taking HE drivers in mind like you show in this video. I'm so glad to see More cleaely how all my HE drivers at lvl 6 and 1430 base points take advantage of one of the best break points. And surely the same would happen for Karts on Gliders. But something to keep in mind is that the Mii strategy is really demanding and, like you Said before Kev, is not optimal. The most common scenario I've seen is Heavy Spenders players buying all the Miis and upgrading the Gold Suit to the Max. They have vast amount of resources and surely they can upgrade some other Miis to high levels but still, is a tough situation for coverage. But thanks to your information, players can make choice to invest to inti the Miis up to a certain point, rather than going all in. This is such an amazing video! I understand it and have a lot of fin watching it. Again, thank you for making this Kev!

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

You know my outlook on it. This information isn’t only relevant to the Miis. It’s just the thing it applies to the most. There are smaller ROI considerations this impacts for traditional inventory parts.

[@juancamilotorresbonilla1181]

@@KevinGarrettGaming You're right Kev. Although this applies for any HE driver, is is still mindblowing how the Miis expanded the limits of MKT. Even through a small portion of players can extract the ultimate margins of it, I think the Miis are a great adition to the game for any player. Even if their coverage and BP works diferently, they're still HE drivers at the end of the day and, behind the scenes, I've seen some Mii Suits with amazing ranked presence. My fellow F2P friend Jman has His King Boo Suit lvl 6 TU and it has been a ranked monster. He also have the Bowser Suit lvl 5 DU and I've seen him using it in ranked some times. My Mario Suit, which is the only one I've invested heavily (lvl 4 DU since it's debut) is one of my ranked drivers this week in Sky Garden and it got Ámsterdam Drift 3 RT, another incredible ranked feature just a few tours ago. The Miis has a lot of potential that can be explored, If choose and managed carefully. They're cheaper and more aquirable, amazing to save resources for other ítems. Several times they have been available in ranked. There's a lot of good things about the Miis. The most importante thing is to be responsible and not fall into the FOMO. The Spotlight Shop and Mii Shop combined are really stagering. The amount of rubies it can be potentially spend every single day is something the average MKT casual player could not have any idea. But while this doesn't happen, enjoy the Miis the way you wish. 😄
