Mario Kart Tour

[LeftyGreenMario]

It's not a nitpick, the color is *very* off. Like who failed color theory so they can develop Tour?

 

[Mister Wu]

Well...

Someone in the development team is a fan of the DS era?

 

[J-Yoshi64]

Oh, I noticed right away that Black Yoshi's boots were the wrong color. But I think that says more about me.

The dataminers have discovered that the Baby Rosalina Tour and Hammer Bro Tour were named "emergency_firstTour" and "emergency_secondTour" as mentioned in the game's files. Although, no mentions of "emergency_thirdTour" for Yoshi Tour, maybe that was planned earlier.

With those dots on her, Yellow Birdo reminds me of Spongebob

Both my freeby pipes gave me Dry Bones lol

Well, having Yoshi in Easter only made sense, although the lack of new track sets (only two RT tracks were added) tells me it became some kind of "emergency_thirdTour"...

 

[Sweet Snow]

Well, these were coming sooner or later, might as well get them out of the way

 

[TinTinfinite]

It doesn't look like an "emergency tour".

We'll just see if they introduce new non-spotlights tomorrow.

 

[Mister Wu]

Well, emergency_secondTour added four brand new characters with distinct trick animations and two new course sets (SNES Donut Plains and GBA Bowser Castle 2), so just looking at characters or karts we can't say for sure if it's another emergency tour.

 

[J-Yoshi64]

Those new karts look sick. But maybe that's just the little boy in me who loves heavy machinery.

 

[Sweet Snow]

There is a Gold Dry Bones alt, I assume a Gold Pass bonus for right now

 

[J-Yoshi64]

Calling it Dry Bones (Gold) instead of Gold Bones is a mistake.

It isn't in the rewards of the Gold Pass of this tour, datamine revealed that it will be an exclusive of the next driver pack, much like Black Yoshi.

 

[TinTinfinite]

Gold Dry Bones seems unexpected for its debut to the whole franchise (much like PGP). There wasn't a gold variant of Dry Bones in games before MKT, not even the RPG games.

It looks like if Dry Bones was in effect of the gold ring in NSMB2.

 

[Ray Trace]

Saw this image in the wiki and I thought, "Wouldn't it be great to play as a driverless car for once?"

 

[Blue]

Guys, I got the Gold Pass. Anyone else get it?

 

[Toka Hebizuka]

No. I spend my money on quality video games, rather then microtransactions in an awful mobile game.

 

[YoshiFlutterJump]

I'd rather pay $20 for a year of Switch Online than $60 for a year of Gold Pass.

 

[zel]

that driverless car looks like shadow the hedgehog

 

[Blue]

All the other things in the game for sale have the most ripoff prices I have ever seen though

 

[Toka Hebizuka]

That reminds me, I forgot to post this.

[LeftyGreenMario]

Baby freaking Mario, Yoshi cart pack, and the Bumble V pack (both butt ugly cars) are also the same price wtf

The twitter has listed subscriptions as cheaper than Diddy Kong but those subscriptions are perpetual payments; 4 months of Discord Nitro being cheaper than this character pack makes Nitro look bad too

Game is having an official tourney, might enter for the heck of it

Pretty sure that's for MK8, it mentions the Switch, not phones.

EDIT: This absolutely is for 8, it mentions Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in the text at the bottom.
