ICEBREAKER

You are out to dinner at a new place, and everything on the menu appears to have freakishly large bananas in it. Joining you at the table is your favorite GB driver. Which dish, and which company, would make this an evening to remember?


METROPOLITAN TOUR

EDietel
Do you anticipate the new DKG from the Metro tour having the same long-term value as the Mk. 2s ended up having? Is it more risky than normal to invest early? What both have in common is heavy city starting value, and all L3+L6+L8 unlocks being cities as well. Does this seal their fate? (edited)

BigBroLo
This marks the fist time in the games history where a new driver was released in an all city tour. Not to mention the following tour is also expected to be another all city tour. Will there be a shift on how City Tracks will be treated? Could City tracks become "assumed" value?
At what frequency would city tracks have to "reappear" to become "assumed"? If the City Tracks value does shift, would Chef Rosalina have an edge, especially with a great + skill? 

Studfit
How many EXP player levels have you grinded this tour?
Astreiya   
Do you think the Metropolitan fest will be a turning point in MKT history? Do you think city tours and courses might get more prominent from now on ?

Luis Enrique Ruiz Rivera22💫
Seeing the Rosalina chef buffs between Metropolitan tour and the next tour (Thailand tour), in a future she can be considered important in ranked cups?

Torch
Do you still grind the token shop pipe and have you emptied it every tour?


BANGKOK TOUR

Studfit
What skill do you believe the new Daisy alt will have? Looks like there are bananas in that basket but Nintendo has trolled us in the past

Torch
Someone has to ask it: is Petey Pranha finally coming to the game?

Torch
The opening title of the tour preview generally shows the spotlights in the first pipe. For example Rosalina (Chef) with Luigi (lederhosen) and Cat Mario and Cat Luigi. Do you think the next tour will start with a 9 spotlight pipe (Rosalina (Vacation???), Luigi (Vacation), and Mario (Sunshine))?


STRATEGY

BigBroLo 
I have yet to see two coinboxes active or a combination of active and in "possession" of a bot during a race. Generally when Boomboxing, the more coinboxers in the race increases our chances of a Boombox. If the first statement is true; then is it better to have a field where you are the ONLY coinbox on that track to increases odds of coinboxes?

Boomerang strategy: if your lobby is setup for success (2+ coin box drivers), do you usually reset if you don't get the boombox on the first item roll? Any other tips since boomboxing has become such a big part of the game?
