I have Baby Mario, but I obviously havenât used him enough to realize his special is the boomerang. I just assumed it was a standard item. Odd how standard items like triple shells, triple mushrooms, etc. are special items in MKT.  Congrats on completing that challenge alienboyva! It really does suck that triple shells and triple mushrooms are character specialty items, on top of them being used all at once too. Guess that means the gold mushroom from past Mario Kart games isnât in this with Frenzies pretty much giving the star invincibility boost, making the gold mushrooms pointless. alienboyva 1 Quote Link to comment
The Albraskan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Wonder if that Chef Shyguy from one of the Mario Kart Tour trailers will be a spotlight character for this tour? Quote Link to comment

Surge135 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Took home first in the group rankings and first among friends again, now up to rank 17. Just gotta make Top 3 to make it into rank 20 at the end of Paris Tour part 1. The Albraskan, avalonknight and alienboyva 3 Quote Link to comment

avalonknight Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 (edited) Unfortunately I didn't get to finish the lightning challenge...then again I didn't have anyone who had a tie, so I left that board unfinished. Finished in 3rd and onto Rank 18. Then I realized that I could have gotten 2nd if I didn't upgrade a different glider to earn that one remaining Grand Star at another course.  The Gold Pass has a repeat character now, back to Metal Mario. Which might call to question on the Gold Pass's potential future value and how to better use those SSR Driver Tickets. Like do you just want the character? If it's a repeat, do you want them to get stronger? At least the karts and gliders are still new in this regard. Of course, they can still add more non-tour exclusive SSR characters in the future, and put them in rotation. Personal value, I still think I'm getting what I'm expecting in the big picture.

alienboyva Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) First set of challenges for the Paris Tour completed! I wasnât able to complete all the challenges in the last 2 tours, mainly do to not having the certain driver need to complete the last challenge in the first set of challenges.  I found the âFinish a race by crashing over the finish line a total of 3 timesâ challenge the hardest. If anyone is having trouble with this...  The trick I used: SNES Mario  Circuit  1 Use Mario for 3 items (The more items, the better) Save a banana until near the finish (Easier said than done, sometimes) On the final turn go off into the dirt on the left and throw a banana at the finish (This will slow you down so you donât over shoot the finish and so you have time to line up your kart with the banana) Hit the banana as your cross the finish Repeat (3x total)  Edited November 9, 2019 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment
avalonknight Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) Another option for the "crash across the finish line" challenge. Try Waluigi's Pinball Reversed. Time your banana throw right around or just before you exit the tunnel. It might seem like the banana fell too far away from the finish line, but the momentum is just enough to send you across the finish line.  Also there is a bizarre glitch where the challenge counts if you were to FAIL the "avoid obstacles" challenge, since the race would "finish" when you get wiped out and lose that last balloon, even if you didn't cross the finish line. So the game is only checking if you are in a "crash" state when the race has concluded, but not if it has concluded via finishing line. This might get patched out though.

The Albraskan Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Man I checked my ranking on the current tournament and I dropped from 2nd to 4th. I really wanted to save a 10 pull for when they added the Chef Shy Guy in the spotlight pipe. But since I didnât have a way to get frenzies on SNES Mario Circuit, I did a 10 pull. I guess I should consider myself lucky that I got Mario out of that pull though. Hopefully I can get a higher score for SNES Mario Circuit to get back to being at least top 3 to go three tiers up when this tournament is done. At least I still have enough rubies for one more 10 pull. Quote Link to comment
Surge135 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 What's the highest level driver/kart/glider everyone has right now? Â With three platinum driver tickets, two Gold Pass gifts, and a lucky pull in a previous tour, I currently have a Lv 5 Metal Mario. alienboyva 1 Quote Link to comment
The Albraskan Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 A level 5 Metal Mario, thatâs impressive Surge.  I think my highest level driver is Peach at level 3. I think Iâve got two karts at level 3, and I donât believe I have any gliders past level 2. Iâve been getting lame pulls from the pipes, got no new high end items from the Halloween tour, and none so far from the Paris one. Though I think I do have all of the high end characters that werenât featured in spotlight pipes. Quote Link to comment
avalonknight Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Let's see, I got a Lv3 Metal Mario and Koopa Troopa. A ton of Lv2 karts across all three rarities*. Finally, Lv3 Super Glider and Lightning Oilpaper, but for the highest SSR Glider, it's a Lv2 Purple Oilpaper Umbrella.  I'd usually use the leveling tickets if I know I will get an edge in the ranked courses.  *Birthday Girl, Mushmellow, Koopa Dasher, Cheep Charger, Bullet Blaster, Landship, Mach 8, Daytripper, Super Blooper, Gold Blooper, Flame Flyer, B Dasher, Black Circuit, and Trickster.

alienboyva Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) My highest is the Parachute glider at lvl 3. However, I do have quite a few drivers/karts/gliders at lvl 2...  LVL 2 Drivers: Baby Peach Roy Mario Peach Daisy Bowser Diddy Kong LVL 2 Karts: Standard Kart Birthday Girl Koopa Dasher Pipe Buggy LVL 2 Gliders: Standard Glider Parafoil Edited November 12, 2019 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment

alienboyva Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 A High-End kart leveled up to lvl 2 and 4 new drivers, including Dry Bowser... Not bad, I guess.   The Albraskan 1 Quote Link to comment
