Stunning that there is no Kong in this of all tours...I was expecting you to be more salty...you held up like a boss!

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

This isn't our first rodeo. That's the state of the game, and if they want to elicit stronger feelings from their player community, they'll need to provide the subject matter to support its existence.

[@ellewoods8836]

Ugh.... I so wished there was a new Kong... It would have been perfect. The new tracks are so fun and fresh, and thus far probably my favorite tour in awhile. Glad to see you back to the game! We all love seeing your Tour Reactions!

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

Aww thanks Elle! I know it would bring joy to so many people out there. It is what it is and we find happiness in other places. This tour overall has an incredible track selection. One of the best ever!

I love animals especially kitsunes

[@alfydarkdeadly]

hey KG. was wondering why you hadnt posted a vid in a while. This is an excellent tour but for kong fans its such a slap in the face. Thye had an animal tour in the title. The new track was dk mountain!. The other track was riverside park which looks like a perfect jungle track for a kong. They brought back kong type tracks like dino jungle and rock rock mountain. How can a kong not appear. Instead a luigi alt. Must of been tough for you KG. Also i remember you saying you liked the gamecube tracks due to nostalgia. All returned except daisy cruise. So I am a big gamecube fan so i am loving this tour. Also the irony of the rambi rider appearing as a gold pass gift. So i dunno if that kart helps you but it helps me on 1-2 tracks. I think f they released a kong it would of been an all time great tournament due to a good driver being paired with awesome tracks.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

If they want to give a backseat to the Kongs, I'll just put the game in the backseat to match it. It's that simple. I don't put the player community here in the backseat. We forge ahead, with greater wisdom and adapt to the situation they create.

Never used auto item. Please explain the benefits Kevin in your our way. Cheers

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

Auto item allows the items to be re-rolled without the need for you to input (and it also prevents item animation time from interrupting all 3 slots). It’s ideal for single player. Auto item off is ideal for multiplayer.

@@KevinGarrettGaming Thanks Kevin ! auto firing you mean? sorry Im a bit dumb !!

LETS HECKIN GOOOO NEW KEVIN GARRETT VIDEO

[@fanodast]

I know you're usually a F2P player. But did you think of making an exception and getting the gold pass for this month? You'd receive the Rambi Rider as well as the new Gold Rambi Rider as gifts this tour.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

Hi fanodast, thanks for the question. I am committed to F2P. The Gold Pass gifts are not a consideration. For people who may be considering it, you have to look at the value of these items. Gold Pass gifts have a poor track record. If they buck the trend, they will be made available repeatedly again in the future for the devs to capitalize on sales. I would not recommend buying Gold Pass for this tour. This is in addition to voting with your wallet that would indicate running tours without proper and new character representation is desirable, when in the larger picture it is one of the most detrimental aspects affecting their longevity of the product.

[@fanodast]

@@KevinGarrettGaming Thank you for the explanation. I'm a DK fan and a regular Gold Pass player, so I was really happy to get the Rambi Rider (which was previously sold for $ 19.95, I believe) and the new Gold Rambi Rider this way, as well as the DK balloon through the token shop. But I see our point that this isn't proper character representation and I keep my fingers crossed that we'll get the first Kong alt or a new character from the DK universe as a driver eventually.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

@@fanodast for your perspective, it’s a nice gift since you’re a regular GP subscriber (being a DK fan these gifts are much much better than the usual offerings). The value of GP is the steady flow of resources to your account. The gifts are more or less the carrot they dangle to try to entice people to buy it.

[@mariokartfan8784]

How can you mute the character's voice you hear the music behind the background? Sometime get annoying hear thier voice from grinding rank mode in hour.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

It isn't possible to produce this effect in real life. My device volume is off, and the screen recording mutes some of the sounds when it's saved. If you like that experience, you should write to Nintendo through feedback to let them know about it.

[@torchiitorch]

I'm curious if you have purchased anything from the spotlight shop that fits into optimal pairings or with your strategy?

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

I have not purchased any items for either (my personal strategy is a merging of the two concepts). There’s an ever decreasing amount of growth for the DK fans (as well as fans of every non-oversaturated characters). I generated a customized analytical report that I intended to share in this video, but I totally forgot about it. That’s for the better. No need to beat a dead horse. Or a dead monkey to be more precise. My primary goal is (and has been for some time) the success of other players, like yourself. I put my personal goals in the game to rest a long time ago, which is alright. It makes me more available to people, with the only drawback being that I can’t show firsthand the progress by example.

When will you use your 5k jewels 😂?

Mortan’s plus skill is at level 7 since he’s a normal

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

Plus skill is a term with multiple definitions. The way I used it is intended to distinguish Coin Box, Boomerang, Lucky 7, and Giant Banana.
