When discussing the Daily Spotlight of the Spotlight Shop, I intended to say QUICK TICKETS would be able to change the selection for a single day. (Not Item Tickets)

[@KartLife]

The Dribonza callout made my day. Also, thank you for emphasizing the insignificance of supers and normals. People won’t stop asking how we will get the normals and supers we normally get in pipes, as if that were an optimal way to level them up… but I’m glad you agree that they’re hardly ever in ranked like they used to be. I would suggest people focus on saving tickets for those moves, not relying on pipes.

I’m so excited for this, probably my most anticipated tour since the ninja tour. Can’t wait!

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

Those are big words, and they are justified. More because of what the next tour represents for all of the tours to follow it. Not so much that it’s a tour with a 6th repeat alt and a new RMX course.

Cannot wait until Wednesday!

[@granttownsend1175]

Always am excited when you release more content! Loved hearing your predictions for how this new setup will be for the next tour. Although it's is a long shot, what I hope they do is instead of mixing racing and battle in cups, they add a second layer of cups that is just battle cups. Maybe even getting different rewards from collecting grand stars in the different modes. It's a stretch, but either way I am super excited for this next tour and for all the updates they are adding!

[@kingziad4006]

this game is going to be strong nice reaction bro hope more changes are coming😉

[@JacktheDarkBlueYoshi22]

I had no idea the balloons would be a factor for our base points. Also, I'm really excited about Battle Mode.

[@alfydarkdeadly]

I have had the most bizarre useless luck when it comes to the all clear pipe. You mentioned that it has a pool of over 70. In the last few months I have pulled that royale parachute( the one with peach picture) 4 times. Infact this tour I got it twice. Such strange luck.

[@JustaArne]

What’s up with your background? It changes between (probably) you room and some concert hall

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

To advocate for diversity of character in Mario Kart Tour, I provide diversity of video setting. 🙂

[@JustaArne]

@@KevinGarrettGaming haha, ok

[@lpvettel]

I wouldn't even be surprised if we just could quad cap. I think we might see quint cap(?) as 4 isn't a usual number in video games.

[@jp27_]

I have only one negative point about the new features, among many positive ones. As a 200cc multiplayer racing enthusiast (this mode, which most attracts me to the game), I am very anxious and concerned about the complete removal of 200cc races in multiplayer, this, after the removal of Gold Races. That's because now with the removal of the second daily race option in multiplayer, Nintendo on this tour after the update, ended up keeping the Standard Race daily rules calendar (with 100cc and 150cc races, only) in the new "Races" calendar. But on the next tour, I look forward with hope, that there is a change to this calendar where 200cc races are present, thus leaving no multiplayer players behind, after the removal of Gold Races.

[@Crazi12980]

I'm expecting Tier 99 to be the limit, not really sure if we will see a Tier 100

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

I understand how this feels like a limit, given it’s nearly twice the expansion as previously done, but the limit to tier has a clear connection to the end of the game under their existing framework. That’s why any time we think they institute an absolute limit, it turns out to be a bad prediction. For their sake, I hope it isn’t the case.

[@bombingame6587]

I think the next Luigi is Luigi (waiter) because in the cartoons the waiters will wear a apron while holding a silver platter

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

That’s a good point, Waiter is a plausible title for him.

[@BootyTickleingBandit]

I always wonder if Mario did become a king will he be a good king like how he is a great hero or will the power get to his head

[@davidnelson7400]

Always like your content. But very much disagree with your analysis on the quad cap relative to supers. It will actually make them more valuable. For everyone who is not a mega-whale it will be very difficult to quad cap a high-end and likely not the best use of resources. But everyone who has been playing a while can quad cap some supers. Which will make them more useful. You can quad cap DK and diddy and at level 7 or 8 they will be more powerful than a level 6 double capped high-end. That’s tremendously helpful. Same applies for gliders in particular.

[@torchiitorch]

This was actually my feeling too. I don’t triple cap much of anything and doubles are tough enough.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

The concept I shared is entirely mathematical. Supers will present lower base points and bonus points boost relative to High-Ends. Moreover, Supers cover less than half the courses on average compared to High-Ends. You are stating they are more valuable (as a result of their investment being more expendable-which is a thought I share later in the video during the TSPs). That doesn’t make them more valuable in the complete picture. It just makes them more favorable to invest into when the moment of need arises, because the need is so limited that it doesn’t apply pressure to our stock of resources.

what was pipe frame gate?

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

When players had maxed slots in their Daily Selects that were eligible for tickets, those slots were exclusively occupied with Pipe Frames.

[@amejade]

@@KevinGarrettGaming oh my god really? what if they had the pipe frame maxed?

[@bombingame6587]

I have literally gotten like 7-10 gold pipes and still have 9 left
