As we talk about the hottest topics going on during the Samurai Tour including:

ICEBREAKER
ThiisBeChriis
With the 30 High End ticket stimulus we got last tour, what single investment are you the most proud of?


SAMURAI TOUR

♫GR★◎‿◎∨ㄚ P♫ 
Were you caught off guard with samurai Mario's new ability? Is there an ability that you had anticipated him to possess that you would rather him have?

Studfit
Should Ninja Hideaway coverage be treated like a city track, an assumed (circulating) track or something in between (which would have to explain how to handle for investments)?

♫GR★◎‿◎∨ㄚ P♫ 
How do you feel about the new ninja shy guy?? Are you underwhelmed by the lack of effort that they instilled into the concept?  Do you feel that this was an opportune time to present yellow shy guy? Did their ability Surprise you? 

Shy Guy Kart 
Do you think Pinja will get great buffs or end up like Sunshine Mario? 
Keep in mind he’s a pretty common driver (being a spotlight in a 50 pipe 🌟!)

Studfit
Who’s the Giant Banana Driver you believe will be more useful, Pinja or DK Mii Suit?

Studfit
What do you believe the value will be of this Sakura Hop Rod, since it was NOT a spotlight? 

Studfit
How do you interpret the Record Setter news that “When the High-End Record Setter glider reaches level 8, it unlocks two favorite courses. Usually, High-End D/K/G will get one favorite course unlocked. Note: There are no plans to adjust this.”


TOKEN PIPE

firestorm
Is there a point where the token shop pipe is no longer worth the grind for tokens and if so where would you say is the cutoff when measuring time played against reward received?

Studfit
Do you believe this token shop will only be available in future tour celebrations or a permanent addition to the token shop?



YOSHI TOUR

Clowington
(We see a Gold Token shop in the tour preview), what is everyone’s expectations from the gold pipes next tour in the token shop now that we know what the green pipe can fire? Would we prefer ACP odds or something different?

♫GR★◎‿◎∨ㄚ P♫
Do you have high expectations of what the ability gold Yoshi's egg is going to have next tour or are you just prepared for whatever's to come? If so, what do you think it will be? 


BATTLE MODE

KartLife (Sammy D)
I for one am desperate for battle mode to be introduced to Mario Kart Tour, If for no other reason then to give us an additional way to earn rewards.Given all the different styles of battle mode from past Mario Kart games, which could you see applying best to tour? Balloon battle or something else? Would the developers realistically build battle courses for the mobile platform? How would it affect things to not be able to use your brakes? And would you play other actual people like in multiplayer? Lastly, what items and special skills would be most advantageous to pull for in the battle mode setting?
