Huge thanks to WootMoo for salvaging this audio. I have been using a program that has completely distorted the audio ten different ways but WootMoo spent hours recovering the audio.

Reaction to the Space Tour

EDietel 
When a new tour is released, how do you go about deciding whether or not to push for top 1000, 100, or 10? Asking for a friend...

Studfit
How has ACR changed over the past few tours? Has your strategy changed?

Studfit
WootMoo is going for first Top 100, what has your experience been and what is one thing you knew before you started?

With hiker wario being in a random pack this tour is it possible we can have Vancouver velocity 2 next tour?

Studfit
With space tour and winter tours, when do you believe the next city tour will be?

I would like to know what you all are expecting for the upcoming winter/holiday themed tours.  Obviously everyone’s excited about Santa Bowser, but what else?  Thoughts on Santa Mario getting a huge buff?

W.D.☆KahtDahta 
My question is about old inventory vs new. How old do you think an item needs to be before you stop investing in it? For example I have a level 3 hiker Wario in ranked this week surrounded by new drivers at level 1. In a situation like this, should I take the old driver higher or use my tickets to invest in a new driver? Same question for Karts and Gliders as well.

Tabor 
As of the Toad vs Toadette Tour, there are currently 134 drivers, 186 karts, 130 gliders in the game totalling 450 DKGs. There are also 259 courses (80 city, 179 noncity courses).
Question: With the sheer amount of items and courses in the game, how can new players join this game and not feel overwhelmed or behind? To me, the current state of this game is geared towards whales and/or day one players.

EDietel (video question)
Part 1: We’ve talked about black items being buffed excessively… yet we do have some black items who haven’t gotten their buffs (Black B Dasher, Black Circuit) and “Dark” items that haven’t gotten quite the buffs. Is the favoritism towards black items for real or are we trying too hard to find something that’s not really there? If so, will black always be supreme or will red (thinking cact-R) or yellow (Yellow Offroader) one take over? What will be the “new black”?
Part 2: Thinking of karts and gliders, are there reskins you’d like them to make or are there reskins you’re afraid of them making?
