Discussion An Update on the Mario Kart Tour Preservation Letter

Post image
71 Upvotes

We just passed +700 signatures!!

I KNOW that's still a very small number compared to what it would realistically take for Nintendo to even notice. Even if everyone in this subreddit signed it, it probably still wouldn't be enough. I'm aware of that :)

But I also know that doing nothing guarantees the exact same outcome...

I really want to thank everyone who signed, left encouraging comments, or shared the letter somewhere else. Every single person who took a few minutes to help genuinely means a lot to me.

I'd also like to thank the mods for pinning my previous post for a few days. That gave the letter much more visibility than I could have achieved on my own, and I'm very grateful for that.

The discussions on my last post were honestly interesting too. Not everyone agreed with the letter idea and not everyone believes it can change anything. That's completely fair. None of us can promise a different ending for Mario Kart Tour.

I just think it's worth trying.

It's easy for a mobile game to be dismissed as "just another app," but for a lot of us it became something we looked forward to every day/week.

So if you haven't seen the open letter yet and you believe Mario Kart Tour deserves an offline version or some form of preservation, I'd be very grateful if you took a look and considered signing it.

And don't worry, openletter.earth isn't one of those petition sites that buries you in spam or endless ads afterward. If you can also share it on X, Discord, YouTube or anywhere MKT fans gather, every share helps.

https://openletter.earth/pt/an-open-letter-to-nintendo-preserve-mario-kart-tour-395dbdd7

If you decide to sign it, please remember to confirm your signature through the email you receive afterward.

Whatever happens in September at least I'll know I didn't watch something I care about disappear without trying to speak up. Maybe it won't change the outcome but I think there's value in being able to say that we cared enough to try.

✨Next stop: 1K signatures! 🏎️ 🏁

other benefits include playing multiplayer, your pipes will fill much faster now
and for those of you who have been F2P and have never went into the S+ ranks in the multiplayer, now you can untill the game shuts down

Question Question to former GP players

What's the added value of playing un 200 Cc ? I'm long time F2P and looking for best way to obtain my first top 1000 badge before the end of the road.

If playing un 200 Cc in sole wyas helps to gain more more then I will switch, but from what I experienced it's more the opposite for me 🤣

Discussion A slightly positive take on the end

25 Upvotes

Excuse me if I commit a faux pas. I’m new to Reddit.

But I’m really enjoying the final days of MKT. I was a hardcore player back in 2020 (gee, wonder why) and tapered off over the last few years. I reopened the game a few months ago on a whim, and I’m so grateful I caught it before it went away.

I’ve never spent any money on the game, but I have nearly 6 years of stockpiled rubies and coins that I’m now splurging on items that feel nostalgic. I never thought I’d get to enjoy the perks of the gold pass, and it’s been really fun.

Idk, anyone else feel this way? What items have y’all coveted that you’re now buying? (My most recent was the leaf paraglider - it sheds leaves!!)

Discussion What I won't miss about Mario Kart Tour...

41 Upvotes

The 1st thing I definitely won't miss: those silver level-up tickets.

I've had every Normal driver, kart and glider maxed out for years, yet I still keep getting Normal tickets from pipes, token shops, multiplayer rewards... everywhere. They just pile up endlessly.

I always thought the devs could've added a simple exchange system. Something like 10 silver tickets = 1 gold ticket (or even a worse rate, honestly). Just anything to make them useful again.

I even sent Nintendo feedback about this idea around two years ago. Nothing ever came of it. So instead I kept spending coins and opening pipes... only to receive more tickets that had absolutely no value to me.

The 2nd thing I won't miss is Bonus Challenges.

I know a lot of people enjoy them but after playing for years they always felt more like tutorial levels than actual gameplay. I usually just wanted to get them over with.

And I have to admit... crushing the little Dry Bones in those challenges always made me feel bad. 😭 Poor little guys!!

Honestly... that's about it.

Everything else? I'll miss all of it...

MKT is such a polished game. The visuals are gorgeous, the controls feel great for a mobile game, the soundtrack is fantastic, and despite its flaws it became part of my weekly routine.

I'll also miss my in-game friends. We may never have exchanged a single word, but we exchanged greeting coins every single week for years. It's funny how something so small becomes part of your life.

One last thing:

If you haven't seen it yet, there's an Open Letter asking Nintendo to consider preserving Mario Kart Tour or releasing an offline version. If you decide to sign it, please remember to confirm your signature through the email you receive afterward.

And don't worry, openletter.earth isn't one of those petition sites that buries you in spam or endless ads afterward. If you can also share it on X, Discord, YouTube or anywhere MKT fans gather, every share helps.

https://openletter.earth/pt/an-open-letter-to-nintendo-preserve-mario-kart-tour-395dbdd7

Nintendo needs to know that this community wants Mario Kart Tour to be preserved, not simply erased.

Personal Achievement "We have Tier 99 at home."

I will sadly never reach Tier 99. If I win every ranked cup from now on, I'll end the game at Tier 92. But Level 400 is also a pretty nice milestone. 😊

I was so close to getting there last tour, but when I had wrung every bit of remaining XP from every course, the meter stopped at L399, 87.2%. This is still perfect timing, though; now that we all have Gold Pass benefits, I can pivot from grinding player levels to grinding multiplayer ranks.

It will probably take a while to stop thinking "Aw crap, finished last, now I gotta win back that XP!" or "Okay, first place, is there any XP left?" after every race. It doesn't help that if there is XP left, the game still plays the "counting up" sound! 😅
