:Regarding the drivers themselves, I think we can ask {{User|Shokora}} to help since he [[:File:MKT character screen.png|appears]] to have all of the drivers as of the 2020 Halloween Tour. If anything, I can contribute with <s>36</s> 37 of the current 74 drivers in the MKT section using the 2020 iPad, with the mention that I don't have a signature kart for each one like the current screenshots show. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:53, January 28, 2021 (EST) | :Regarding the drivers themselves, I think we can ask {{User|Shokora}} to help since he [[:File:MKT character screen.png|appears]] to have all of the drivers as of the 2020 Halloween Tour.

::Before agreeing on the details, can you please report the resolution of the screenshots taken via AUTO Mode on the 2020 iPad to see if there is a common rendering resolution? You can either save them to gallery or to another folder through Files to check it.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 14:37, January 29, 2021 (EST) | ::Before agreeing on the details, can you please report the resolution of the screenshots taken via AUTO Mode on the 2020 iPad to see if there is a common rendering resolution?

:::For a more ample comparison, I took screenshots of a graphically demanding scene in multiple modes using both the hardware's and the game's screenshot functions. The OS screenshots have roughly 1.5 times the dimensions of the in-game screenshots and are many more times larger in size (around 8MB on average versus a couple hundred kilobytes). As for resolution, I believe it to be 96dpi for the in-game screenshots. I derived all this info from the specs shown in the properties panel on my PC after transferring them there, as I can't see their specs on my iPad directly without fetching some third party app (which I won't do). Note that some compression might have occured upon uploading the pictures here. | :::For a more ample comparison, I took screenshots of a graphically demanding scene in multiple modes using both the hardware's and the game's screenshot functions.

::::It can be seen that, while the OS screenshots have a very different resolution due to the different screens of the devices, the rendered screenshots have the same same 1080 short-side resolution, and what changes between devices is simply how much of the scene is rendered: on the 16:9 aspect ratio phone an additional area at both sides is being rendered to have a 16:9 rendered image that is then downscaled to the screen resolution. Since we're only interested in the subject that lies in the center of the image, using AUTO Mode's screenshot button and then cropping the image to a square can indeed be a way to avoid the variability due to the devices' different screen resolutions. Now a nice final confirmation would be seeing if on Android devices this "1080p" rendering resolution is being used as well on AUTO Mode screenshots, in which case even more devices can be used to contribute screenshots by using AUTO Mode's screenshot button.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 20:29, January 30, 2021 (EST) | |||
@Koopa con Carne, that's not actually me with all the drivers, I assemble it by combining the rosters on my friend list. As soon as somebody gets Cat Toad as a spotlight, I'll be updating it :) | |||

== Move to Jump Boost == | |||
So this is a point I made back in both [[Talk:GBA Bowser's Castle 1#Renaming the Bowser's Castles: Take 2|these]] [[Talk:SNES Koopa Beach 2#Move to 'SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2'|proposals]] is that if we're going to follow the most recent naming for those three tracks mentioned, the same should be applied here, as Tricks are known as Jump Boosts in ''Mario Kart Tour'', the same game that renamed the previously mentioned tracks. Considering we just moved [[Shell Shocked]] and [[Money Belt]] without any real discussion, I don't feel we need a proposal to settle this. However, I'm still going to ask here; is it okay to just move this page to Jump Boost without any further discussion? {{User:Tails777/sig}} | |||
:It's also been called Jump Boost in ''Mario Kart 8'' stat screen and that's the name I'm more familiar with. I don't think we need a proposal to move names then. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 17:08, October 8, 2021 (EDT) | |||
::Then I'll just go ahead and move it then. I actually didn't know it was also referred to as such in ''Mario Kart 8'' as well, but that just means there's more of a reason to move it. {{User:Tails777/sig}} | |||

What should we call this? Tour seems to go back and forth between the two names (Jump Boost in tips and Jump Boost Plus, Trick Courses and Trick Tour) not to mention the article for the Tour section goes back and forth between the two names as well.

:Jump Boost is by far the more clear-cut term for this concept, in addition to being recent. "Trick" as a standalone term is only used in older and lower-priority material, and is otherwise just a relational word for things that involve lots of Jump Boosts (i.e. those two things you mentioned). The person or people who wrote the MKT trick article likely weren't aware of this context. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 13:29, December 19, 2022 (EST) | |||
