Talk:Mario Kart Tour

True Relase Window?
I may have realized something. This game is said to release "during the next fiscal year". Unless I'm misunderstanding something, wouldn't that mean anytime in between March 2018 and March 2019, and not right in March 2019? This is a bit confusing. -- 22:56, 31 January 2018 (EST)
 * It says "fiscal year ending March 2019", meaning the launch window frame is between now and March 2019. Is there a different way you have in mind to word it? 23:00, 31 January 2018 (EST)
 * I would simplify it to 2018, considering that the "fiscal year ending March 2019" is more or less the fiscal year for 2018. MarioComix (talk) 23:10, 31 January 2018 (EST)
 * I think it should be put to in between April 2018 and March 2019. The slides linked on the wiki page (The 4th reference), on the 15th page, it says "To be released during the next fiscal year (April 2018-March 2019). https://imgur.com/a/AaJyp -- 10:28, 1 February 2018 (EST)
 * I just realized the wiki page pretty much already says what I suggested. Nevermind, then. -- 11:54, 1 February 2018 (EST)

Nothing changed since April
Why is there no changes since April? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 08:08, 22 November 2018 (EST)
 * Because we haven't had any new information since. DK Fan
 * Holy monly. We need to fix this artcle. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 11:56, 23 November 2018 (EST)
 * The article will be fixed once there is more information available about the game. As far as I am aware, the article currently completely covers the very little information that has been released. -- 12:02, 23 November 2018 (EST)
 * Or Nintendo is Fouceing on other projects. I think so to. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 18:11, 4 December 2018 (EST)

Release date and new artwork
[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1166144294115323904 A release date has been unveiled for MK Tour. September 25.] There's also an official Twitter account. --GarfLarf (talk) 20:42, August 26, 2019 (EDT)

New Trailer
With the newest trailer here, we see tons of new elements including tracks based on real-world locations, returning karts such as the Flame Flyer from Mario Kart Wii, and even Diddy Kong as a playable racer. How shall we approach covering this information? MarioComix (talk) 02:43, August 27, 2019 (EDT)


 * On second watch, I've noticed the inclusion of Lakitu (in the first shot of SNES Rainbow Road), Bowser Jr. (during the Bowser Shell segment), the Bill Blaster (used by Junior), the Daytripper (during DS Waluigi Pinball segment), the Prancer (when Koopa Troopa goes underwater), and the Royale (used by Peachette). MarioComix (talk) 03:19, August 27, 2019 (EDT)


 * I've added new sections if you want to add those. 03:32, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

Redirects
Should I add redirects for Mario Kart 9 for this? JoeRunner (talk and stuff) 16:33, August 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * I wouldn't do that. It's conjectural, not a mainline game, and I wouldn't be surprised if we did get an actual Mario Kart 9 somewhere down the road. -- 16:35, August 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'd say only do it if the developers acknowledge this in-game or otherwise. 17:38, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

Do Bowser Jr. and Lakitu actually appear in the new trailer?
I cannot seem to see them in the new trailer and if they are not there I think if they are not there in the trailer they should be removed from this page.


 * Bowser Jr. is at 1:10, appearing right at the very end of the clip where Wario uses a Mega Mushroom. --PeabodySam (talk) 21:56, August 27, 2019 (EDT)


 * Read the post two sections above. 22:00, August 27, 2019 (EDT)

Tire customization
Are we 100 percent sure that there's no tire customization in the game? Because there are two instances where Diddy Kong's Barrel Train has both the Standard SFC tires and the Slim tires equipped. SonicSpeed48 (talk) 16:24, September 15, 2019 (EDT)


 * Could be just changes made mid-development, or perhaps it is tire customisation. However, from what I've seen, no sources have mentioned any kind of tire customisation so far, including official sources. They have mentioned picking between karts and gliders, but that's all. MarioComix (talk) 17:17, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

Pink Gold Peach?
Say, if there's a pink gold Pipe Frame body and Super Glider, doesn't that make you wonder if Pink Gold Peach will return? SonicSpeed48 (talk) 09:20, September 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * I sure hope not... We'll see when the game is released or when she gets announced. We shouldn't add PGP in the article if she was not officially confirmed yet. 09:23, September 24, 2019 (EDT)

Big Update Incoming
I have obtained a decrypted version of the 1.0.1 update, so I am about to upload a bunch of images onto this page. SwampyGator (talk) 11:54, September 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * Don't. If it hasn't been released yet, it shouldn't be mentioned. 21:16, September 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * 1.0.1 is the current version of the game. They just mean they've ripped some images to add to the page. 21:21, September 28, 2019 (EDT)
 * I see. Just reasoned that since he said it was "decrypted", it wasn't released yet. Just because, you know, really everyone has a decrypted version of the current version. 11:47, September 29, 2019 (EDT)

Extracting files from MKT
I've tried and tried to extract files from this game, but the data folder seems to be completely empty. How did you guys extract the files from the game and put them onto here? --Kaidigem (talk) 16:46, October 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * in dr. mario world's case, i used asset studio gui. mario kart tour is a major pain in the ass to sort through though as i've heard it's an unorganized mess. where did you download mario kart tour's contents off of? it should be contained in an apk file, which is pretty much just a .zip in a different name. 16:50, October 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * I downloaded the APK from off my phone and tried to sort through it. It really is an unorganized mess, too; the data file is nearly empty, all that's in the DEX file are a bunch of class files I don't understand, there's a dummy text file that is completely empty, among other things. If anyone knows where the pictures in this article came from, please message me. --Kaidigem (talk) 16:57, October 21, 2019 (EDT)

Editing
Why can't I edit this page? There are a few typos I'd like to fix for myself, since I don't know if anyone else will fix it.

I can barely edit any other pages, anyhow. As in, I don't have the permissions to do so. --Kaidigem (talk) 08:28, November 1, 2019 (EDT)
 * The page is protected because it is receiving constant updates, so we're avoiding any false information. You'll be able to edit it yourself when you are autoconfirmed. For the time being, you can say what you noticed here and someone will fix it. 14:16, November 1, 2019 (EDT)
