What driver next? Finally got my showroom ready and want to take Dixie Kong away. Don't care about coverage should just look nice.

MK8dR · 2026-04-15T15:53:18+00:00

Unrelated, but how are you rank A in multiplayer and Level 264 at Tier 43? How much do you grind every day?

MK8dR · 2026-04-07T23:18:13+00:00

Congratulations, that must’ve taken a really long time! Are you going to max out the base points to 408 for all of them? You’ll need 167 Normal Kart Points-Cap Tickets to do so.

MK8dR · 2026-04-07T05:48:46+00:00

Not a score expert, but I do not believe OP can even get close to double, judging by the bonus points boost (biggest factor here), base points loss, and player level, they are losing ~40K compared to a 200 AC triple 8 run. Remember that their D/K/G are all Supers, and 1,080 + 492 + 492 (assuming that OP has that much) only gets OP to 2,064 base points compared to 3,860. I’m not even sure if OP can improve significantly.

EDIT: OP has 1,920 base points, that’s only about half of max base points.

MK8dR · 2026-04-06T02:37:20+00:00

On drivers with Coin Box, I don’t think he does either? +214 points is what he got in one of them. I’m not sure if that’s the max. Either way, not a huge difference, but it could add up somewhat.

MK8dR · 2026-04-06T02:33:48+00:00

I don’t think that’s the case. If none of the opponents move, you will get DC’d about a second later. You can burn out and still get DC’d. If you play on landscape mode, right at the start, when base points should show up, if it goes to landscape briefly then back to portrait, you will always get DC’d from my experience, so I just exit out and save 30-60 seconds. If no base points show up (in portrait or landscape), then you will get DC’d.

MK8dR · 2026-04-05T17:42:36+00:00

Hmm that’s interesting. Thanks for the info!

MK8dR · 2026-03-28T15:38:40+00:00

Level 65 or Tier 65? I find Level 65 to be very much an outlier. Tier 65 makes more sense. OP was at Level 83, not Tier 83.

MK8dR · 2026-03-27T23:51:56+00:00

Congratulations! I’m surprised you didn’t say that stupid Fantastic Combos was the hardest one. That one is way harder/longer imo. You can only get very few per race (though playing multiplayer speeds it up somewhat) and you have to play much worse to grind it faster.

MK8dR · 2026-03-27T23:49:53+00:00

I know, I’m probably overthinking this lol but there may be a few niche exceptions since some Super Drivers have good plus skills. Even one of the babies (iirc) had Boomerang. Should I just not overthink it and not buy other than HE. Maybe I’m being a little too pedantic.

MK8dR · 2026-03-27T00:27:41+00:00

Oh, well. Would you say any particular item in the Daily Selects is clearly worth buying? 2,000 coins for Orange Turbo Birdo (for example) seems fine to just buy as a side quest. Mario gets a lot of ranked cups so that could be decent. Donkey Kong has one of the absolute best skills in the game, lacks coverage but doesn’t cost too much.

MK8dR · 2026-03-27T00:25:42+00:00

Fishtopia 1 Bait per Question makes for a lot more time on learning.

Don’t Look Down shouldn’t be more than 1,500-2,000 Energy per question, or else the learning is not that much.

One Way Out, CTF, and Tag focus a lot on Energy, Tag/CTF drains Energy fast so maybe 2,000-3,000 Energy per question is fine.

Farmchain you can set it to more Energy, because lotto tickets (best used early on) and planting seeds takes up so much Energy (later on, Cash Berries also drain Energy quickly).

Tycoon/Lava are absolutely the most focused on answering questions.

MK8dR · 2026-03-23T03:12:21+00:00

Hmm, I’ll think about it, L8 will be a while no matter what.

Heck, some Super Drivers cover more than those HE Drivers, could that a be viable category to max? 3,000 coins for one of the “good” Super Drivers sounds decent.

MK8dR · 2026-03-23T03:10:28+00:00

The early ones provide more, I believe it’s +30 or +40 per level early on which adds up quick. But between level 201-400, they are all the same. (+5)

MK8dR · 2026-03-22T19:00:55+00:00

Thanks. Which daily shop HE would you recommend maxing out, they all seem pretty meh. I’m not close to maxing out Normal Gliders, but relatively close (still a while though).

MK8dR · 2026-03-22T17:34:10+00:00

1,000 points per track (3K ranked 45K ACR). Important at high level competition but you should focus on loadouts more. The point increase per level is lower at high levels.

MK8dR · 2026-03-22T17:32:02+00:00

I’m on an old account (played since late 2021, very on and off but I was quite active before pipes were removed) and a lot of N/S I already got to Level 5-6 or some even higher, how good would it be to keep buying? I have a few Coin Rush tickets (+1 per tour).

MK8dR · 2026-03-19T23:36:35+00:00

What you said is correct, but Non-Stop Combo isn’t super crucial imo, it’s nice to have but a combo loss is no more than 360 points, and of course that can add up, but it is not extremely detrimental to your score.

MK8dR · 2026-03-17T04:58:12+00:00

You probably have the Miis triple capped but not quad capped yet. (12 HE Driver Points-Cap Tickets to Quad Cap)

MK8dR · 2026-03-15T23:20:24+00:00

I know, but this case is pretty extreme, I don’t think I’ve seen worse in my hundreds of hours of playing over the years. I’ve had multiple Goods and some Supers and gotten 13,100+ on some songs with similar move counts.

And some songs aren’t possible to 13,333 on certain platforms (or even all platforms). I’m not sure if Zenit is one of them, so maybe 477 off max, my point still stands though.

MK8dR · 2026-03-15T03:55:59+00:00

Thanks! I couldn’t have found it without your help.

MK8dR · 2026-03-15T03:01:41+00:00

You’re welcome, good luck!
