Sammy Sees the Light (GOLD MARIO & the Endgame of Mario Kart Tour) 

a huge thanks to Sammy for showing us all how to live the Kart Life over these past three-and-a-half years, and cheers for whatever this game and it's community does going forwards

Let the golden era begin

A strong 4 year run. Can’t wait to continue the game in the future but I’m sad that the new things are finally ending.

Too me nothing beats the feeling of seeing a star in a 10 pull back when we had 100 pipes. I will forever remember the game for those precious memories!

@KartLife FUN FACT: Not sure if anyone else noticed this.... but the LAST 2 Mario alts released are actually re-skins of the FIRST 2 Mario alts that were introduced into the game: Metal (Silver) Mario > Gold Mario Musician Mario > Black Suit Mario Also great video man! I will keep playing the game and watching your videos! I'm excited to continue to collect Drivers, Karts & Gliders as there are many I still want and don't have.

I can already tell Gold Mario is gonna be one of the best characters in the game with that coin vacuum ability. Imagine someone using a coin box! He’s essentially a boombox as an actual character.

I will play until last day !!! Thank you Sammy for all you work and passion shared.

If gold mario has a brand new item that's a good sign. They aren't going to introduce a new item then shut down the game soon afterwards

I'm kinda sad that Mario Kart Tour's ending new content. There's like, thousands more drivers, miis, karts, gliders, and courses they could've done. But hopefully, the servers won't shut down for good any time soon, hopefully never. And I'll max all my plus skilled drivers - especially the coinbox, boomerang, and + skilled Mii drivers, as well as my favorite karts and gliders like the Offroaders, combo cruiser, rambi runner, chain chomp chariot, starry great sail, silver manta glider, dream glider, among others

They may flip track and drivers around. I’m expecting it. That would stretch the life and challenge. 💪🏼💜👍🏼🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

When I joined tour, the game had a horrible reputation. I have played the game ever since hammer bro tour 2020 and have loved the improvements ever since. Remember when we started getting non city nitro tracks? Or even wii tracks? Nintendo has been putting so much more effort into the game recently leaving behind an amazing experience I can't wait to level up rosalina aurora (my favourite alt) without worrying about worrying about the future meta

Since the when the game first started I always thought it would be cool to max out every single kart, glider, and driver. Now we can since it's coming to an end.

I started playing the game beginning of this year so was sad to hear no more new content coming, but I’m 100% going to keep playing the game, I enjoy it so much so why stop. Looking forward to the anniversary tour going to do my best to get gold mario. Love your passion for the game btw it’s great to see😊👍

Sammy you probably turned completely gold like Mario.😂

Feels so sad for watching this moment, personally, I was think about quit the game before. but, for now, I'll keep going this travel. I'll never quit MKT, when the game actually end of service. This is gonna be another new adventure, Thanks for everything Sammy, Let's go to Season 5 of MKT ✈️

I just started last Feb. I’m stay.

I would love for you to go through all your drivers, karts and gliders so I can see what percent completion you have after 4 years❤ I'm going to try to get everything but i gotta lot of work left

I am hopeful about the future of the game and thankful for the community you helped grow. I really wish we could have gotten some of these awesome Peach alts from the Showtime though.

I was right Gold Mario was coming to the game and it been long time since he was in Coin Rush

Idea: Switch your channel to coaching players on how to increase their ranking on the game, how to videos, etc. May help new players starting to play the game and existing players to increase rankings and spend more on the game

Thanks for keeping positive Sammy! I always said you’re one of the reasons why I love this game so much! Let’s hope for good days ahead of us in MKT 😊

I will play Mario Kart Tour until the end. I have a gold subscription and I won’t cancel it. What Nintendo could do is to repurpose some more tracks for battles, that will add some variety to the 3 battle arenas we play over and over again. A few city tracks are also used for battles, but they could do more.

Playing Mario Kart Tour until the end

celebrate and be positive! as long you are here Sammy, we that love the game will all be here too! thanks for all you do!

Im going to 😢miss mario kart tour and im turning 40 years old in December 😢😢😢

The final reaction to new content in a Tour!

I finished 3rd in my ranking group. Went up to Tier 73 and scored 95K. And got Gold Mario. I used my last remaining high end driver tickets to get Gold Mario to Level 7 and 1190 base points. I am really glad I saved those high end driver tickets for such an occassion.

Intern 4 is in full control now.

I am REALLY sad that the new alts, karts, and gliders are officially coming to an end and I guess all good things come to an end... But the golden era will come to a start and i'm really excited about the new tour and nervous that Tour might be ending at the same time... Thank you all for this and you too Sammy for all the good memories made in the past days and sad that Tour is dying.

I will keep playing for the love of the game. I've been playing pretty much since day 1 and I'm still enjoying it. I may not have as much time to play as I used to during the lockdowns but it's still fun and I will continue to enjoy it for as long as possible.

Probably my last month as a member (as well as Studfit's channel). Want to save for some dresses so I'm cutting off memberships on RU-vid, but it was a good time being a member for your amazing channel! Sucks that MKT is ending new content though, hopefully the next MK game is in the works. Maybe I'll become a member again sometime down the line when I've all the dresses I want. Hope to still be able to text to you on Discord whenever! ^^

Stoked about the new MK 2 kart. They’re my favorite and that one looks awesome. I think the metal colored one is still my favorite. Drawing a blank on the name lol

thanks for all the content and passio for this game.

I'm pretty decent at getting coins on the track, but with Gold Mario's ability, it could probably get me an extra 20 or so coins/actions. I'll take that!

I continued playing MKT

This may seem strange to you: I was mentally preparing myself for what was going to happen. In my head, I was sure the Gold MK II B Dasher would appear. I'm not surprised about Gold Mario. I don't know why people were so obsessed with this character from 'Coin Rush'. We have so many variations that box parts. Why him in particular for the end? Compared to others, I didn't have to wait too long. Like I said in my last comment, I'll take this more relaxed. Just to finish the loop, I will buy all the Premium Challenges for one last time and the Gold MK II B Dasher was in my plan too. Then, I will only take the Prenium ++ while I finish all my best items at level 8 and settle for the gold pass. It’s really a great finale. But, I expected better than that. I hope to be surprised by the rewards which will give us a bonus of the 4 years of games that the players have played. Because, without that, it lacks a little recognition. Yes, I'm really tough. But, I would like to be dazzled for this last season. I'm not right now, because I was planning in my mind what was going to happen.

What are your thoughts on the wave 6 teaser (as a bonus to the tour)? They haven't shown us the bike versions of Pauline and Peachette, so hopium is telling me they could actually give Pauline her pantsuit instead of some sporty uniform to be more creative.

Great message from one of the real ones. Thanks for everything Sammy!

I'm very excited for this new tour. All of the new stuff looks awesome, and I'm going to buy all of it, whether that's with rubies or actual money 😂. Gold Mario is exciting to come in, of course it brings the questions of how will he be obtained, and what will his special skill be? Coinbox? Maybe coin vacuum? Maybe coinbox with the coin vacuum effect? If he's in ranked, I reeeeeeally hope they don't screw me over lol. I hope it's not like what that Gold Knight Luigi week was like for me. I'll make sure I do what I need to do in order to get him, but I'm not sitting on this massive ticket stash, and with King Mario probably being the ACR badge, I would love to try to get the top 100 badge. So if I could use tickets to help with overall ACR as opposed to just things that help me in ranked but not anywhere else for ACR, that'd be great. I'm not sure though if I'll even be able to get top 100; my loadouts on some of the returning tracks didn't look all that great, and also I expect this tour to be SUPER competitive. Sundae Tour is actually really high scoring, my estimate isn't even enough for the top 100 projections. I'm not really sure what to expect but I'm preparing myself for the projections being a little bit too high for me unfortunately, but oh well. It was really cool seeing you react to the trailer. Like you, I also have no plans of stopping playing this game. I'll probably still keep playing until the end of service I guess; there's a lot of stuff I'd still like to do in this game. Definitely will be a change in strategy though. For example, I don't need to save tickets for ranked cups. If they bring in a ranked reward, it'll just be a dupe of something I already have, so I wouldn't care that much about getting it. Can just use the tickets much more freely on things I want to level up for instance. I'm excited for this new era of MKT and seeing how things play out, and figuring out how I'm going to do things. Also I wasn't expecting to hear my name mentioned at the end lol

I can’t wait!

I’m very interested in what the future holds with this channel moving forward. I’m not going anywhere 😊

its finally about to end damn im sure you guys are gonna be optimizing for years too come

Just hopped back on after a year, mkt needs to chill out with the high end drivers. There’s bearly any rare or common compared to high end.

To be honest, I never was really into mobile games, and Mario Kart Tour hasn't been particularly appealing to me, especially with many of its shortcomings. I prefer to stick to the consoles, so Mario Kart 8 DX is more my style!

Hail golden dawn! I play every day. ❤

Gold Mario!

I'm definitely canceling gold pass. I finally made it to lvl 80 and unlocked the Gold Mii 2 weeks ago. Now, it's all for nothing. I'll still play a bit and go for T99, but I'm not spending another dollar. 2 years of grinding and spending, and they pull the plug. It sucks.

The way they show it looking like gold Mario sucks up coins. Is BS clearly someone got hit in front of him and it fell into him.

WOOOOOOOO

O😮😢
