With the latest information from the Mario Kart Tour team, it is confirmed that the upcoming tours will have the exact same ranked cups as the previous year.

Thanks for this video KG. I’ll never personally quite understand why you didn’t want to go hog wild with Gladiator as we only live once. But roll Frank Sinatra’s “I did it my way,” right? You have been very much appreciated to the community and we’re always here for you.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

Everything I could ever want was discovered through the success of my friends that I helped achieve their dreams. The community has been a bright gift, and I’m very thankful for everyone’s presence. Special thanks to you for all that you have done, Sammy!

As the saying goes: "All good things must come to an end." And while that will be true with this game, the community is still there staying strong.

[@Donttezzaho]

Your channel has definitely helped me become a better player in the game, and I really enjoyed the content on this journey.

[@PartTimeDrift]

As being someone who did make purchases in this game (more so during the height of the pandemic and certainly not at whale levels) I don’t have an issue with the game entering the end game. You will rarely spend money in life that gives you a financial return, so spend on the things you enjoy and I am not ashamed to say I’ve enjoyed the game immensely. So to anyone who has invested in the game, don’t be mad. Just have perspective the gaming experience was one that was enjoyable. For me it was and still is 👍🏻.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

Well said! Thanks for sharing your perspective.

I got gold pass for two months and my dad ended up canceling it. Well that was some hard times my account went 860 rubies negative but in hindsight it saved me alot of money and taught me how to grind harder lol.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

@@fyutweraz2200 I'm happy you made the best of it and learned some things along the way.

[@cjfromtdot]

Unfortunately this game died when the pipe pulls ended and they opened the “good stuff appears in the shop, shop”. There was nothing like grinding for rubies through all the challenges and ranked matches. Carefully deciding and calculating what the best item would be. Then watching the content creators like Kevin discuss and analyze in detail on kart glider driver strengths and odds. There was always the mystery of some of these items like bullet bill or piranha plant gliders that you just couldn’t get but they were always in ranked. Kept my contingency of rubies to get these items in the pulls at not a guaranteed rate. Sometimes the pipes were a “must pull”. From there it was just palette swaps of toads, miis, and shy guys as there biggest grand reveal the next year. Sad to see it go as a solid 2 year player but think they could have went in a different direction than they did.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

Thanks for sharing your experiences, CJ. A certain allure was lost with the removal of the gacha. There was an essential need to have strategy and insight for navigating those times. The game still has the capacity to require skill and foresight, but it’s unquestionably different now. It's about how fulfilling the experience is for each and everyone out there. It was a privilege to share content and ideas for enhancing the individual experience and it's my hope some of that carries over into all of the other interests people have.

[@Ninono7878]

Thank you for everything all along the way Kevin !

[@terrance1310]

As someone who's spent quite a bit of money, investing into the plus skilled drivers, I'll miss Mario Kart Tour and don't want to see it go. Starting next tour, though, I'll not spend nearly as much money. Maybe either just go gold pass only, or buy 1 premium challenge a month or only spend a ton of money on my birthday or Christmas, and I'll try to hoard my resources until maybe the Bowser Tour, if there is one, and go for top 10.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

That's a wise decision. Best wishes on your savings and long term plans.

[@fyutweraz2200]

Love the kongs too i have them all except dk jr. My donkey kong is level 7 1080 and will be my next special to get to level 8. Im hoping to get dk jr befor the game ends. Thanks for all the help over the last year.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

DK Jr. will be available in the Daily Spotlight selection in the next tour, for other tours after. The only time he was in a banner in the 10 month period was in the Mario Tour, which is 1 of the 2 times when there is expected to be a change to the tour format.

[@ApartmentThe]

gonna be hard Kevin when the game ends....if only the game could still run afterwards and you could still race setting your own goals.....

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

An offline mode would be very conscious of the dedicated players who have supported the game throughout the years. I wouldn't expect it, personally, but I agree with the sentiment.

[@ApartmentThe]

@@KevinGarrettGaming if Nintendo working on next switch with new mario kart then they could do new mobile app version of that!?

Will you ever make Videos again on this Channel?

[@craiggavin1881]

Did you describe how you miss ranked and not tier down?

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

By downloading and logging in only for the final hour of the tour, the rankings period has concluded. You can play without having your account ranked perpetually by limiting your activity to that time.

[@craiggavin1881]

@@KevinGarrettGaming perfect, thank you

[@russianthotbot6997]

Maybe this game is ending because Nintendo knows world war three is about to start. Or some other devastating black swan event is imminent. This seems ominous. Oh well, its been fun.

[@KevinGarrettGaming]

You're saying Intern 4 ran away with my existentialism?
