Mario Kart Tour

Waluigi and his trash alt

If trash was always that elegant almost everyone would want to live in dumps, to be honest.

 

[Wintertime Peach]

Meh. To me Waluigi is one of the most hideous characters in the series (just look at him in Mario Tennis 64), but if y'all like him, then whatever.

 

[Mister Wu]

I'm not even that much of a Waluigi fan, but still he looks so good in that attire that I consider him in the Double-Decker one of the best looking combinations of the game.

 

[Ray Trace]

I find plaid typically hideous, so I think it works for Waluigi.

 

[Wintertime Peach]

I still remember that one time when Michaeloll compared Waluigi to barf. Let me see if I can find his post...

*A few minutes later*

Found it:

Is there even a barf emoji?????

Those are the closest I can get

we should make one. and make it purple like waluigi; the entity of barf.

Lol, I agree with that.

about time you found it

I've heard Yellow Birdo is a really good Super character, but I wonder why exactly. Is it because she's top shelf on RMX Choco Island (which mostly only has paywalled characters)? Because other than that, I don't see how she is any different from the other Birdos.

 

[winstein]

On one hand, Team Mario has the Kongs, Pauline and most importantly Mario, but Team Luigi has Koopa Troopa, Waluigi and Daisy. I suppose Team Mario wins it for me mainly because there are more to like compared to Team Luigi.

Thank you for reading.

Yes, most of these evaluations are based on Sgt. Spike's tiering that takes into account the other possible options. If a courses doesn't feature any Normal drivers and just one Super driver in the top shelf, said driver gets more points in the coverage-based tiering. Plus, R/T courses give less points since they rarely appear on ranked cups, same for city courses.

 

[Ray Trace]

I dunno if I should have done this but I couldn't resist.

 

[Yoshi the SSM]

Team Luigi have all the Yoshis. So, you can guess which team I will be on. Right? If not, it is team Luigi.

 

[zel]

ive mentioned this in a profile post but. i dont play tour nor can i retweet anything but team luigi has all of the koopalings as well as toadette and dry bones and also it is green what an obvious choice (if you know me at all)
i do still like mario and luigi as characters themselves about equally but i also feel like i have a bit of luigi bias actually

 

[Wintertime Peach]

Wow, today I got Explorer Peach from the Week 1 pipe in my first 10-pull (so I only spent 45 rubies). I also got Metal Mario (already at level 6, so I got 6,000 coins) and the Strawberry Donut glider. That's three high-end items in just one 10-pull. I can't believe my luck.

 

[Sweet Snow]

I'm honestly surprised the closest thing to Toads with different colored spots and jackets playable is the SMM Blue Toad, it seems like one of the the easiest idea for a recolor character

 

[J-Yoshi64]

Any popularity contest between Mario and Luigi aimed at fans is always unfair due to the disproportionate number of Luigi simps.

 

[Ray Trace]

Well yeah, Luigi is the adult version of Baby Luigi, that's why he wins.

We should just be done with it and cut Mario and Luigi from the game

Spoiler

and readd Mario/Luigi as a heavyweight racer

and we get a MarRPG reference to boot!

 

[zel]

hey look i know who drew the sprite in the spoiler and theyve actually recently done a kooler remake too. its them https://twitter.com/mitsamemario

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Yeah... right in the Twitter I see the redone version, but dunno if that's released or just paid commission

 

[Mister Wu]

Little aside, the pictures taken on my phone in auto mode are rendered at 1920 X 1080, interesting to see a Mario Kart game internally rendering at a higher resolution than the phone.

Also, funnily enough when saving on a folder the images come attached with hastags, these ones came with the following:

So, what's the deal with players data showning up with fully pink versions of existing carts?

 

[Yoshi! Yoshi!]

I hope to unlock 16bit Mario (Super Mario Kart SNES). Alas it will probably take many pulls of the pipe.

I am thanful I was able to purchase Black Yoshi when he was available.

I am perturbed that I paided for Ice Mario and he can now be purchased via coins.

For some reason, a pink version of the P-Wing, of the Flame Flyer and even of the Bumble V were gradually added overtime. No idea why.

Well, the main point of the $20 and $40 packs - where their price originates - is selling rubies at a lower cost than what you find in the Ruby section of the shop, the drivers, karts and gliders added are more a bonus that makes the pack easier to name and sell - 45 Rubies Pack and 90 Rubies Pack aren't particularly attractive names.

In any case, those packs often offer early or easy access to some High-End drivers, karts and gliders. In general, considering how the game is structured right now, if you're only interested in the driver and can wait, it's better to wait for the driver to come through a special pipe, even Black Yoshi was eventually put in one of those.

I heard Black Yoshu, Gold Dry Bones, and one other are Pay Wall Exclusive. Has that changed?

 

[Wintertime Peach]

Black Yoshi was in the special pipe during the Super Mario Kart Tour along with six other characters (Vacation Peach, Penguin Luigi, Party Time Toad, and others). Gold Dry Bones was in the special pipe during the 1st Anniversary Tour along with Gold Shy Guy, Gold Dry Bowser, and Gold Freerunning Koopa. Those were the only times you could get those two characters without paying for them.

Gold King Boo is a character that you could only receive if you bought the Gold Pass during the Halloween Tour, so I guess he's paywall exclusive.

I wanted to share this:

It was a 1 in 4 chance, and I got her! I also got a duplicate PinkGold Peach from the Special Pipe.
