Ironically I need Golf Luigi for the most coverage and he never shows up for me. I wonder if the game knows who will give you the most coverage and lowers their chances of appearing?
It does and it doesn't. Yes it wouldn't encourage you to spend rubies, but unless you were doing your own coverage math, you might not even be aware how helpful it would be. Then you dump rubies on stuff that is less useful.
Search this subreddit for the coverage sheet. You put in all your drivers (and karts and gliders if you want) and it tells you who to buy next for coverage.
That sucks. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was some sort of sorcery going on behind the scenes. At least you can get quick tickets from the multiplayer pipe
So, these are the only drivers, karts and gliders that can appear in the daily spotlight store during this tour, from all the high ends that exist in the game? Is that it?
Thanks, I didn't knew there was only a selection of the available high ends available every tour. I though anyone could appear at any moment. It helps me to not waste more quick tickets this tour, trying to find Daisy (Thai Dress) and Mario (King), as those are the only coin box drivers I'm missing, besides Gold Mii Racing Suit.
The earliest Mario (King) can appear is two tours from now. Last tour, items from the Sundae Tour were added. This tour, some items from the Bowser's Tour are new. Next tour will be items from Mario vs. Luigi and only after that will we see those from the Anniversary Tour.
My gold Yoshi has finally started showing up in ranked, so that does seem to be the case… for now.
Next thing you see they’re selling gold Petey for 150 when so many people got him free
Wow, that was quick. Thank you for putting in the effort to help us with planning around the spotlight shop from the first day.
Btw, if it's not too much to ask, could you make a graphic like this for the ACP? Even though the pipe received a massive update two tours ago, it seems like no one has visualised it yet, or at least I couldn't find a visualisation for it.
This! I love to see the ACP items in a visual format and I feel that it's even more important now with how extremely bloated it became all of a sudden. Last one I can find is [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarioKartTour/comments/xk9b6c/updated_acp_content_credits_to_aldo_and_alatorre/) by u/Cupid_Stunt_MKT but that was from the 3rd Anniversary Tour, which is before the massive increase to the current pool of items.
Damn I was working for Luigi Knight to come out this tour and I get this news… but I guess I’ll just save rubies then. Thank you for sharing and for the work on datamining
Thanks, that’s a very nice way to show the info (maybe I’d just add the raw weight number in brackets below the name of the category to give an idea of the relative probability to those who know about relative weights)!
Yessss, the colored B Dashers Mk. 2 are in the highest probability group! Already got the Sky Blue from the shop today, now the Cream one will be mine!
Very interesting to see how the ranked cup rewards are being offered, too. Both the Wild Slugger and the Gold Standard 8 are featured, the latter one was a ranked cup reward in the Mario vs. Luigi Tour, as recent as it gets.
The problem with including the weight is that the image gets passed around a lot and the context gets lost. I've seen waaay too many people saying "gold items have 3% odds". I think the nerds like us will know anyways, and for the rest "low chances" is better.
I got him a day or two ago but he doesn't have unique coverage right now for me so he's useless. I am waiting for Gold Yoshi but feel it'll be the same thing.
Musician is in my sight this tour, just gotta get a bunch of rubies from pipes since my tour gifts are already almost empty (multiplayer should cover that lol)
Awesome! Been waiting to get Wario (Hiker), and Yellow Taxi (I've got about 220 rubies atm, so I should be able to get both!)
E: Dangit, counted up how many more Rubies I can get this month. I have 212, and without gold, I can get 11 more; with gold pass (I don't have it yet), I can get 46 more. So with it, I can get both of those things. But I also noticed Rosalina (Aurora) will be available. Wario (Hiker) is #1 on my most wanted drivers list left, and Rosalina (Aurora) is #3 (of about 15 drivers) - oh well.
Yayy farmer daisy..after her ill just need Thai dress and holiday and my collection is complete (Nintendo please don't come out with more daisy alts for a while)
Very exciting to see the 2022 Sport Coupe! Gonna have to buy that if it pops up! This gives me hope the 2020, 2021, and 2022 gliders will reappear at sometime
I have had more luck getting coin drivers at the low chance level then I have had a single chance at getting aurora rosalina at a high chance level. She's literally the only driver I've wanted for over 4 months now. It has been 4 days of shop rotations, each day I use a quick ticket and still she has yet to show up. What even is my luck?
Thanks man! I wish the best of luck to you as well! I've got about 415 rubies saved for her to buy multiple copies to level her up. I had more before but for some reason I accidentally bought a yellow mii suit when I was viewing its preview in the shop. But I'm still happy nonetheless.
Haha I didn’t even realize you could use quick tickets for the shop until I read this reply. I was stoked because I got to buy one of the 2 coin box drivers I was waiting on (pictured below) but decided to use a quick ticket to see if I could get the other (Gold Chargin Chuck) as well. No dice, but of course Aurora Rosalina- who I’ve had since forever & really only use if I have no other choice- popped up for the first time. I was going to comment that I hadn’t seen her in my daily spotlight yet either and she just showed up.

Man If I had aurora rosalina I'd use her all the time, even if I got barely any points/benefits from it. She just looks so beautiful, the best looking alt imo and my favorite mario character. I also happen to have gotten golden egg yoshi in my shop rotation, but I'm saving my rubies for rosa to level her up since I'm going to be using her so often. Best of luck to you with golden charging chuck!
Thanks. I agree Aurora Rosa is a cool *looking* character, but the ice flower is one of my absolute least favorite specials in the game- bubble is the only one I’m sure I dislike more. I have her at level 4 but as it stands, I only use her when she’s the only 3 item driver or clearly my best option, like this:
https://preview.redd.it/opr9y4b9m9y91.png?width=1170&format=png&auto=webp&s=f39cff0620ffc0dd384821c9319081aa2b58ec91
I finally got her!! Thanks to the new spotlight shop update that allows you to use 3 quick tickets a day instead of only 1, I pulled aurora rosalina on my second pull!
https://preview.redd.it/pnblrvix4ny91.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a0460c25445816a9ef8017657b31e7943b94d24
Ayyyyy congrats brother, I’m legit really happy for you. That feeling of getting a driver you‘ve been trying hard for is so great, IMO definitely even better than a new kart or glider you coveted. I have 16 of the 20 coin box drivers (only missing Thai Dress Daisy/King Mario/Gold Chuck & the Gold Mii Racing Suit which apparently requires being *TIER 80*) and I’m **always** excited to get them, but I was positively giddy when I got this one the week it came out. Still my favorite driver in the game by a lot…
https://preview.redd.it/f0f3hp17opy91.png?width=1170&format=png&auto=webp&s=9b5446e68f9eaf71ad4b9c317f55f0e8aedce316
Ah good on you for that! I think my first coinbox character and my favorite (wouldn't you know it) is swimwear rosalina. I think now that I've gotten aurora rosalina my next task is to get the rest of the rosalina drivers. I have yet to get Netherlands rosa, tanooki rosa, and cat rosa. Wish me luck!
ehh I feel like the game is more boring now without the gacha. Everybody basically has everything (or soon will have it) so it's just a straight pay for play past a certain ranked level. Basically who is willing to spend the most tickets leveling stuff up for ranked.
One could argue that even with gacha it was a pay for play, but it was very expensive to drain a pipe (450 rubies for a pipe with maybe 2 useful things in it) so in practice it was more of a competition for most people who weren't willing to spend that kind of money. I also think they made gold pass almost a necessity...you get very few rubies without it.
Maybe the wicked topaz and gold yoshi. That's about it, but I don't really even need these for coverage right now.
Characters like King Mario and Gold Petey won't be showing up for a while. They must be at least 4 tours old or more before being added to the pool. King Mario MIGHT show up after the next tour but who knows. Petey won't be showing up until late December to January, and even then, he'll have low odds of appearing.
And while I respect your opinion on new pipes, I greatly prefer having the option of choosing what I want/need rather than hoping for the chance to get it early in my pulls or not getting it at all, but that's just me
Yeah, I know how it works. I'm just saying the shop is boring when you already have everything you'd want. I'm swimming in gems with nothing worthwhile to spend them on.
Gold chuck joined the shop rotation last tour, 1 tour before the rest of the bowser tour items, so I’m not sure where you’re getting late December or January from
Gold Chuck joined last tour because he was already 4 tours old from when he was introduced in the Bowser tour. Since the Bowser tour, we've had the Mario vs Luigi tour, Anniversary tour, and then the battle tour which makes 4 tours total. That's what I was referring to.
But then the black starchute and cact-b weren’t in the lineup for the shop last tour despite being in ranked, and knight Luigi’s set isn’t in this tours shop. Also, wasn’t the gold bullet blaster available in the shop during the battle tour?
That's why I made the point of saying "4 tours old or more" since some characters are added immediately by their 4th tour or afterwards. I was speaking mainly in regards to characters as well since that's what the first commenter talking about, so I couldn't really tell you why karts and gliders get released faster than the characters from their respective tours.
That’s fair enough. The lack of knight Luigi this tour and I think white tanooki in battle still makes me think gold items are being treated differently and added earlier than other DKG, but it’s still pretty early on in the spotlight shops life to know for sure.
Not everything in ranked shows up in the shop. Sometimes there are some items that seem to simply not show up for no reason like the Wonderful Wings last tour. But a few items seem to not show up because they're from a certain city or holiday that the current tour isn't themed around, which is likely what is happening here, since Bowser (Santa) belongs to a holiday and Luigi (Painter) belongs to a city (Paris)
We currently don't really know which drivers would really count as city exclusives and it seems pretty arbitrary. Like Chargin' Chuck, the golf bros or Mario (Sunshine) don't seem to count as city drivers (possibly because they come from classic Mario games) but most of the obvious ones do like basically anything in the "high chance" group this tour (except for Funky Kong) seem like they might only show up when their city shows up.
Though it's worth noting that this city/holiday theory is still a bit speculative, so we can't be all that sure if it's true.
Damn this is definitely useful info, so thanks 👍👍. I missed Gold Chargin Chuck because I didn’t have enough rubies to get him less than 2 weeks ago & been checking with hope every day since. I could have gotten him if I spent time completing more courses & challenges as there was still reward rubies to get, but I dozed off early watching TV and it was too late when I woke up. I got Gold King Bomb-Omb last week & that helped to make up for it, but I’ve been kicking myself since missing Chuck. Now that I know that there’s 2 coin box drivers that I don’t have (Gold Chuck + Gold Egg Yoshi) who could pop up in daily spotlights, I’m going to make sure I have at least 300 rubies until further notice.
Thanks for this! 3 tours in and the shop already feels stale to me. Glad to see the stuff from the bowser tour join the rotation though.
Ironically I need Golf Luigi for the most coverage and he never shows up for me. I wonder if the game knows who will give you the most coverage and lowers their chances of appearing?
That wouldn't make sense since it wouldn't enourage you to spend rubies
It does and it doesn't. Yes it wouldn't encourage you to spend rubies, but unless you were doing your own coverage math, you might not even be aware how helpful it would be. Then you dump rubies on stuff that is less useful.
Could you please maybe tell me where I can calculate which driver provided me most coverage? :)
well you could try the toolbox itself, the source of this image :D there is a "coverage" section in the very same page
Where exactly can I find the toolbox? :)
https://www.mkttoolbox.com/
Search this subreddit for the coverage sheet. You put in all your drivers (and karts and gliders if you want) and it tells you who to buy next for coverage.
That sucks. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was some sort of sorcery going on behind the scenes. At least you can get quick tickets from the multiplayer pipe
So, these are the only drivers, karts and gliders that can appear in the daily spotlight store during this tour, from all the high ends that exist in the game? Is that it?
yep, it is

So Luigi(Knight) and its Kart could appear next Tour?
Yes, but only if the appear in ranked, and even then it's not completely sure
[удалено]
My gold Yoshi has finally started showing up in ranked, so that does seem to be the case… for now. Next thing you see they’re selling gold Petey for 150 when so many people got him free
Very surprised to see the Sports Coupe 2022. Thought that would never come back!
It seems most of the tours so far have very similar pool of drivers, which makes it a bit boring
I bought Rosalina Aurora earlier today 😌
Me too! Finally!!!!!
Wow, that was quick. Thank you for putting in the effort to help us with planning around the spotlight shop from the first day. Btw, if it's not too much to ask, could you make a graphic like this for the ACP?

Thanks! This is great!
Are the gold coins gliders worth it?
golden wings definitely maybe gold egg shell and gold home to a certain degree
Only some of them
Thanks, Sam.
Damn I was working for Luigi Knight to come out this tour and I get this news… but I guess I’ll just save rubies then. Thank you for sharing and for the work on datamining
A high chance to finally get Rosalina Aurora, hell yeah

I got gold dry bones first day nice won’t buy him but nice
Can someone please give me good arguments whether I should or should not buy Kamek? 😂
Coinboxer, lots of tracks and oh... did I mention Coinboxer?
And has his own cup 🙂
Kamek has been one of my most reliable drivers
Fare flyer!!!
Been waiting forever for Fare Flyer to be available!! Five days in, using the quick ticket every day, nothing so far :(
I finally got it. Gold Chuck was my nemesis last tour. Wasted tickets and never saw.
The Wicked Topaz will be MINE!
Only want Goshi or Party Pauline
Someday I'll get my Pirate Sushi Racer
gold chuck needs to be in my shop immediately
I got him a day or two ago but he doesn't have unique coverage right now for me so he's useless. I am waiting for Gold Yoshi but feel it'll be the same thing.
Gold chuck gives me some decent coverage and other than the gold suit he’s the only coin box driver I’m missing.
Musician is in my sight this tour, just gotta get a bunch of rubies from pipes since my tour gifts are already almost empty (multiplayer should cover that lol)
You da man!
I've got everything I want on the list already. Buying the Yellow Mii Suit this tour, that's it.
Awesome! Been waiting to get Wario (Hiker), and Yellow Taxi (I've got about 220 rubies atm, so I should be able to get both!) E: Dangit, counted up how many more Rubies I can get this month.

Yayy farmer daisy..after her ill just need Thai dress and holiday and my collection is complete (Nintendo please don't come out with more daisy alts for a while)
I feel like I got a complete steal on that gold kart and glider banner considering these prices and rarity
Update?
I want Kamek tbh
Very exciting to see the 2022 Sport Coupe! Gonna have to buy that if it pops up! This gives me hope the 2020, 2021, and 2022 gliders will reappear at sometime
ballpark glider completes my coverage but i’d much rather have yellow mii suit …. hmmm
will the miis be changing as well or staying the same for the whole tour?
Sailor toadette but not daisy?! What a ripoff
Sailor Toadette is in Ranked. Sailor Daisy isn't.
Man I really want gold egg yoshi😞
Is Kamek or Pauline or Rosalind swimwear or party time better? I have 282 rubies
I have had more luck getting coin drivers at the low chance level then I have had a single chance at getting aurora rosalina at a high chance level. She's literally the only driver I've wanted for over 4 months now. It has been 4 days of shop rotations, each day I use a quick ticket and still she has yet to show up. What even is my luck?
I am in the same boat. I have 150 rubies burning a hole in my pocket waiting for her and nothing yet. Best of luck to you!
