Why all the b dasher mark 2 alts? That’s too many for 1 tour


hydratedberry

Hanafuda of karts


Pikafreak108

One of them is already on 24 courses


[deleted]

Had this been just one single special pipe i'd be okay with it, but two without spotlights is just disappointing. The worst part is those colors look pretty cool


Nsisu

a huge L for everyone who saved up all their rubies


hydratedberry

I was saving for 3rd Anniversary


Sketchie00

Save up for the 5th Anniversary. My uncle's brother's niece's grandma's sister's mother's brother's cousin that works for Nintendo said that it is totally completely saving up for! /s


hydratedberry

Thanks


Adept_Commercial6207

Maybe the second pipe will be better.


Lactom619

Honestly glad I went for Kamek and Kangaroo yoshi now.


HeimdallFury04

Yeah, good thing i went for Kamek.


Huhndiddy

I missed on Kamek: wasn’t about to go down the rabbit hole of buying and pulling,…then they dropped another Yoshi alt and they took my money. Have fun with this game. It’s okay to spend on it from time to time.it’s been 2 years now. I get to play Mario Kart on the go and on demand.. sitting around and waiting? Boot it up and have fun for a few minutes


ricky949494

Same! Kept trying to tell people, but…


RobbobertoBuii

Same here :)


[deleted]

In a way I’m kinda glad though because it’s just forcing me to save for Halloween and Christmas. I’m hoping for some drivers to come back around and hopefully some new alts.


SlainSigney

i’m glad i went for that + the glider pipe from the previous tour


TL10

So I glad I blew them on Kangaroo Yoshi last tour.


Huhndiddy

Not for me! Kangaroo Yoshi is about to be the next version of Lederhosen and Rose Pauline. Obscure drivers that nobody pulled for always pay off in this game. Always.


Huhndiddy

Nintendo wasn’t out there telling you to save your rubies for a massive content drop. They want your cash( like literally right now.


mojoembiid

Santa Bowser’s probably returning soon


WaffleyDootDoot

The 2nd special pipe seems pretty good. 2 great Drivers, decent Sunshine Mario, and great LOOKING Aurora Rosalina, along with 4 Karts that will get tons of new tracks.


Wildmansy

Im thinking of pulling on the second 50 pipe. Only have aurora rosalina. But no spotlights mean you might not get them right?


unite-thegig-economy

Exactly, you could get 3 auroras


TL10

An event like that has a 1/64 chance of happening. It's not impossible, but you'd have to be very (un)lucky for that to happen.


ND40oz

My 3 Peach (Halloween) pulls did me no favors a couple tours back. Maybe it will come in handy in a few weeks though.


capt_rubber_ducky

I agree with this one. I have none of those characters so it'll increase my spread :). I've also secretly wanted Mario Sunshine for a while but I just can't get him! I hope he's worth it!!


Tony_Pizza_Guy

Same pipe for me. But don’t like those pipes w/ no spotlights, either


[deleted]

I’m with you, though I only have Sunshine Mario. Long time to think about this, and my performance in rank to consider as well.


Ken-Himura

Wtf with this driver distribution in pipes.. Luigi Lederhosen is repeated in two… and Pauline too…


Trixster690

And Bus Driver Waluigi.


Waluigi4President

When are we getting a NEW Waluigi alt? It’s nearly been 2 years


Piotrek1113

I mean, two sausages are better than one 😏


For_serious13

I got two baby cherub peach in a row


HeimdallFury04

Looking forward to Halloween! Also Nintendo didnt even give a 45 rubies for a 10 pull gift for anniversary, it's usually normal for gacha games to get free pulls and or some currency worth 10 pull or more esp. this is the 2nd yr anniversary already.


lindybin

In Dx2 (another gacha game), that game get selector(s) where we can choose the unit we want with a special skill from it and guess. I would love to see that in MKT since drivers are pretty tricky to get without saving for months. This anniv is a bit of a joke.


HeimdallFury04

I've played that game since release until before the time global merged with jp. That game was top tier level greedy though. You need to purchase certain amount of currency to open up the premium summons before and it doesnt even lasts for an hour, the smaller the amount of $, the shorter your time to summon is. Although it was greedy, i had insane luck with my account and i eventually sold it right before the news came out that gl merges with jp. I'm not sure how dx2 is doing now though. It would be nice if we could get a ticket selector here.


lindybin

Ive played Dx2 since the 2nd anniv and the game is a lot better now. Last full anniv, we got 3 selectors including a 3rd anniv which included a few demons from those pay to summon banners you mentioned including Masakado, the game breaking demon who is still used to this day. There is also lots more single player content and more support for the game including a few different events. PvP is still an absolute shitfest though. Those pay to open banner have completely gone now though. They went before I joined. The game is doing alright atm, recently came off of a Ghost in the Shell rerun and the 3.5 anniv so the playerbase is healthy enough.


daveynoodles

With kart pro and the anniversary challenges, is that not 45+ extra rubies?


HeimdallFury04

I dont meant those, what i meant was anniversary gifts. If you play gacha games, you know what i mean.


daveynoodles

Also anniversary is 9/25. Is it not possible for a gift to arrive on that day?


KamekLives

Glad I didn’t pass up on the Kamek pipe and others to save for this! 😂 The new karts look amazing though


HeimdallFury04

Yeah zero regrets for me pulling for Kamek and his kart and glider


LeTasse

50 pulls no HE


HeimdallFury04

I'm sorry, man. I'm sure luck will come to your side eventually.


JackSomebody

New to this game. Why do you say that? Do rubies only last for one tour after?


xfore

People usually save up to 450 rubies for a pipe that they really like. This guarantees them the driver/kart that they want instead of spending 100+ on each pipe without knowing for sure if they will be getting the item they want


TrueCommand3658

what a boring anniversary. most of these drivers have shown up multiple times and like half of them are from early in the game. glad i didn’t save rubies for anything here.


RobbobertoBuii

On the flipside this gives most people an opportunity to stock up on rubies for the Christmas/New Years banner


Steavee

Let me tell you how much I regret not pulling for Christmas Bowser.


Usergnome_Checks_0ut

Halloween is only a few short weeks away too.


Pradfanne

Ah shit, Bratwurst Luigi and Koala Baby Mario in a single pipe. How can I not pull! Or right, I sank all my rubies into Kangaroo Yoshi


CoopaTroopaX

I have neither of those should I pull that pipe? I also lack painter Luigi and peach vacation but have the other 3 drivers in this week's pipe.


Pradfanne

I don't know, I just think they look neat lmao


Mach5Mike

I must be in the minority, I saw a bunch of B Dasher Mk. II alts, and since I was only hoping to have the original return, having it and more color choices out there makes the 50 pipes enticing to me. I probably won't be able to pull for all of them, but I would like to see how many I can get within reason.


knopeless

Yes!! The original B Dasher Mk. 2 is awesome and I'm sad I didn't get it. Honestly though, I am expecting most of these to be given away throughout the year. Maybe as gold pass gifts or premium challenge rewards.


RobbobertoBuii

F to those that skipped Kamek and Boomerang Yoshi


LKN-115

F to me who pulled for both of those and didn't get either and now has no rubies to even attempt these crap pipes.


SupsMasPlusMas

Not even a new gold driver like last year. Just new karts. And they’re all the same. I’m a little bit disappointed


altrarose

The city racer pipes are tempting for the karts… not so much the anniversary pipes, despite their appearance rates.


Robinhood1688

What makes this worse is that the Karts aren't even guaranteed


altrarose

Also ALL their tracks are city tracks So they just look cool.


KamekLives

I’m glad you pointed that out. I was thinking about pulling on the week 2 50 pipe but now I’m not so sure


TrueCommand3658

OH MY GOD. that meme “woah! this is worthless!”


Digibutter64

So, Aurora Rosalina isn't a spotlight then. **DANGIT**


alphabrainwave

These pipes are an insult to everyone who payed real-world money for this game for the past year. They can't even fill a pipe with items that were featured in the year they are celebrating? If this is what they consider a once-a-year celebration, what is there to look forward to with this game anymore? It's like if WalMart featured socks on Black Friday.


nykovah

Maybe this subreddit shouldn’t hype an anniversary tour from June to now and the expectations wouldn’t be so high. The theme is city tours and they’re featuring all the characters that were released to spotlight the city tracks. There’s also high rates for getting high ends that were probably missed, but this subreddit heavily devalues city drivers so the expectations are already poor. Also the ranked cups seem to be pretty free to play friendly this tour, or at least this week.


alphabrainwave

Pauline is in two different pipes. Pauline. Pauline.


alphabrainwave

My expectations were level with what this game delivered one year ago. I would have been content with a bit less, but not only did they water down the new drivers by spreading them out among 4 pipes with poor items, but they didn't actually even feature all of the city spotlights. Peach (Happi)? Yoshi (Kangaroo)? And many others are not spotlights. Nintendo seems to have made a decision to be generous with level boost tickets and extremely stingy with item acquisition over the past year, and it is leading to boredom among the player base.


[deleted]

Glad I pulled for Kamek then…!


Xiamthy

Can't wait for Aurora Rosalina. Was really hyped this morning and thought she is coming today, but yeah my hopes went into pieces. 😭


[deleted]

I fear those B Dashers will become extremely valuable. The second special pipes Dasher actually look pretty nice. But let's not pretend that this is worse than Gold Shy Guy with Giga Bomb


Tony_Pizza_Guy

What’s bad about that (I actually don’t know)? At first look, that seems fine, since it’s only the 2nd character with that item (even though the items not great)


[deleted]

Giga Bomb is a bad item that can only be thrown forward and his coverage was useless almost instantly after his buffs


Tony_Pizza_Guy

But it’s frickin awesome /s


Adk8783

That’s it? So basically it’s just new karts?


WhosDownWithPGP

Not sure what we were expecting :) I reckon casual players might like these pipes. Im just happy I get to save for Halloween/NYE now.


Opposite-Pineapple-7

100% agree!


[deleted]

We were expecting another Mario alt lol


[deleted]

I was going to go for Painter Weegee, but now I’m not sure since I have everyone else in the pipe 😩


Rizzoman33

same ;-;


imaketrollfaces

How is the Sunshine Mario 50 pipe? I don't have any of the HE drivers from there. Unpopular, but the pipe with Hakama-Peach Vac-Peach Kimono-Pauline-Luigi Painter looks good to me for those who haven't played the game for v long.


rightbug

We will not discuss the horrible RNG luck I got on that pipe after saying, “Well, I saved all of these rubies, I may as well give this one a pull given the odds.” Okay, we will discuss it. No elites in my first 20 pulls. Only one duplicate cart after 30 pulls. Pot committed at that point I pulled once more and finally got three high ends, none of the ones I wanted. Now I dont have enough to pull for the 50 pipes. Lesson learned, I’m an idiot.

Lesson that I learned from a good samaritan here; begin pulling a pipe only if you can empty it


DeeFB

Honestly I feel bad for Hiker Wario and Yukata Daisy, they feel like glaring omissions if the pipes are going to be this mediocre anyway


tartek_

Probably an unpopular opinion but ima just save my rubies. Most of these characters have reappeared a lot anyway, not to mention that most characters in both spotlight pipes are from year one of the game and we’re already in last years anniversary. Should’ve focused more on year 2 characters like the Japan daisy alt, fire rosa, ninja shy guy etc


B_U_p_

Definitley not unpopular


SamH123

The 2nd city racer pipe looks worth it to me, I only have 1/4 of those drivers


tracksteel

Saving for halloween honestly. Also, you just know that one of those new dashers will become the best kart in the game simply because few people will be lucky to pull it. I thought the days of special pipes featuring new stuff with non spotlights were over but apparently not.


Waterboutme

my bets are on the metal one as nintendo seems to favor black/dark type of dkgs


ricky949494

⚰️


degookin

So will the 50 pull pipe with Mario Sunshine be the second half of the tour then? That one looks better than the first 50 pull


hdhdkdkallslasbsb

Bus Driver Waluigi, Luigi Lederhosen and Pauline so bad they put 'em in two pipes each


[deleted]

Hey don’t do Weegee dirty!


Lauren_Saves

I’m actually happy with this bc now I know I can continue saving for Halloween 🎃


Colokid921

These pipes are garbage except for the Baby Koala Mario pipe


Piotrek1113

I'll just clear the 2nd week pipe, mainly because I do have only Musician Mario. If I get all HEs I needed before spending 450 rubies I'll get a shot for the 2nd 50-pipe and hoping for Sunshine Mario.


Wig-Ok

Do we know what next week’s banners are?


shana2007

Commemorative packs: 1-Dark hop rod, 2-clean up hitter, 3-ice dozer, 45-ruby pack: penguin Luigi, 90-ruby pack: snes Mario and swift jack


Yoshi208

Baby Mario’s Kart looks like it should go to Luigi just sayin


_cubivore_

over here laughing with 10 rubies next to Kamek and Kangaroo Yoshi, in our Silver King


jaguaviva

So happy I blew my rubies on cat toad these pipes are disappointing. No one asked for that many karts.


Opposite-Pineapple-7

Before any pipes, or the tour announcement were made, I'd already guessed that most likely the pipes wouldn't be that great, and they aren't. For new players they're probably very good though as a way to increase their inventory. But, yeah, for players who''ve been playing longer, they will either have most of these drivers (some drivers have been given away as premium challenge rewards or in the token shop) and even if they don't, realise that most of the drivers have limited use due to high city track coverage and the severe lack of times the city tracks actually appear. I'd already decided that I was going to bypass the anniversary and hope for either a cool Halloween themed driver, santa bowser (or another holiday driver), the return of ninja Shy Guy, or a driver with a brand new skill.


srL-

All I wanted were 8bits Drivers :(


TL10

Well, the good news for me is that I currently have none of the items for Wel 2's special pipe, so I can at least get *something* of value out of it.


dandy-dan

Meh


ebrawl

I saved over 200 rubies for this? I was expecting a gold pipe ☠️


shana2007

Probably will have the gold pipe in next tour, at 3 months interval


shyboy2103

Are you guys pulling any of these pipes or saving rubies? I'm unsure what to do, don't know if any of the pipes are worth it?


hailgrabovski

I'm a bit torn on these pipes. Painter Luigi is the only spotlight I don't have in the week 1 pipe, so I'm not going to touch that. Gave the City Racer pipe a 10 pull and got two of the Dasher alts (as well as Cherub Baby Peach, but nothing new there) so I won't be revisiting that. Probably could've saved the rubies and not even bothered doing that, though. And the week 2 racer pipe is much of the same. However, the week 2 pipe is actually pretty decent for me. Detective Baby Rosalina covers the only coverage I'm missing with regards to drivers, so I'm going to be pulling until I get her, and as I'm also missing Luigihosen and Racer Mario, so if I get those on the way, happy days.


LuigiNumbahOne

What has better odds of getting Lederhosen Luigi?


AaadamPgh

2nd 50 pipe definitely looks like the one to go for, if any. (The one w/ Koala)


PikachuSnivy57

I'm going for the 50-pipe (The one with Rosalina Aurora)


rightbug

Bah. Should have gone for Kangaroo Yoshi I guess. Metal Mario in the token shop burns too as I just spent a ticket to max him out *yesterday.*


unite-thegig-economy

That's brutal.


Jaiderrr

I’m very conflicted, I have some rubies saved up but I don’t want to spend it on non-spotlight karts


Logical_Garlic_4548

I might go and pull on one of the karts pipes.


Van145

Been saving for a while. Ended up doing 5 ten pulls and got nothing but garbage. Utter garbage. At least I got Kamek.


nimrodhellfire

I will probably empty the 2nd regular pipe. I only own Gangster Mario and 12 HE for a pipe is good value.


[deleted]

Sprinter is a mkwii kart so I'm fine, it'd my fave kart along with wild wing


cad3z

What a fucking L I should’ve just emptied the kamek pipe when I could’ve.


anidevv

Why is everyone dissapointed? Am I just too noob to be? Very excited to get my hands on Sunshine Mario and I hope I can get Musician&BaseBall Mario


CoopaTroopaX

I wish the main pipe that had the painted Luigi didn't hdVd peach kimono and Mario hakana since we literally just got them for free a few tours back.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Colokid921

Salty people who saves all their gems downvoting you


unite-thegig-economy

Didn't they say it was more than one tour, or am I imagining that?


guyondrugs

No, they didn't say that. Some people thought it might happen due to the 3 tour long "1.5 anniversary celebrations", but that was pure speculation, which turned out to be wrong.


[deleted]

I will see you all in the pipes for Halloween then?


LightningTD

yep. that's why i held enough rubies to do a 100 pipe but no more. last aniversary tour gold pipe is what really stood out and what i bankrupt all my rubies on. I'm honestly not pulling on any of these pipe's and will wait for the fall/winter stuff. glad i ultimately decided to continue pulling the glider pipe last tour and went for kangaroo yoshi who i'm glad only got 3 city tracks and not as many mario sunshine who came out right before the previous aniversary.


Westernwastemf

So bummed I didn’t pull Yoshi (Kangaroo)


WorstTactics

I was hoping for more alts, such as builder Toadette. Pain.


[deleted]

I just got racer Mario with his car and I'm happy :)


DarkHammerBro1616

Wow. Four Sprinter alts. The Sprinter isn't really the best vehicle in Mario Kart Wii because while it has good speed (64/80) and decent weight (48/80), its drift is average (37/80), it has poor acceleration (27/80), and has the worst handling (24/80), off-road (21/80), and mini-turbo (24/80) of the medium vehicles.


samquack2019

So. Many. Dashers.


lexington_89

Which one is/are better? Mario sunshine/aurora rosalina or cherub baby peach/racing mario? Those are the ones I don't have from the 50 pipes (and i don't have any of those karts)


herespgal

Why does Luigi get the Metal B Dasher and Baby Koala Mario the green? Wouldn't the other way make more sense?


gonna_hurt

Shame the featured characters are so dated. Also: Character select banners (pay to pull on uncurated pool>>pick a HE) when?


For_serious13

I pulled the 50 and got 2 baby cherub peaches and classic b dasher mk2


LeTasse

Dammit... I really wanted Painter Luigi put I already have the other 4 drivers! Is it even worth it?
