Mario Kart Tour race points system

From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search

This page details the system used to calculate total points inMario Kart Tour races, using data gathered during theIce Tour.

Overview[edit]

Race points are earned in three ways:base points from the driver, kart and glider being used,bonus points earned by performing actions during the race, andposition points, based on finishing position, driver level, and several other factors. Upon earning enough points in a given race, players can earn from that race up to 5 totalGrand Stars, which are necessary to unlock tour gifts in the currenttour.

Base points[edit]

The base points of the driver, kart and glider selected are added to the initial score of 0 before the race begins. Base points can range from 800 total points for base-level Normal items to 3860 points for completely maxed-out High-End items. Individual items' base points can be increased through experience points obtained at the end of the races or throughpoint-boost tickets that provide 50 experience points each. The experience points are used to fill a gauge that when filled will increase the base points until the maximum amount has been reached. The amount of experience points needed to fill the gauge increases every time the gauge is filled.

The maximum amount of base points for each driver, kart and glider can also be increased up to 4 times withpoints-cap tickets. Each increase costs more tickets than the last (1, 5, 10, and 12 tickets, respectively), and adds 6 or 7 more levels to the gauge. These increased levels have their required XP grow more slowly and award more points per level-up.

Bonus points[edit]

Many actions performed in-game give the player a number of bonus points. There are a wide variety of point-giving actions, ranging from hitting another player with an item to picking up acoin or simply running into atraffic cone. The base points are modified by many multipliers and bonuses before being added to the player's score. The full formula to calculate the bonus points of a single action, as given in the game's FAQ, is as follows:

The final result is rounded up to the nearest whole number. Each of these items is covered in detail in the following sections.

Action base points[edit]

Each action in a race has a default number of points associated with it, called the base points of the action.

Interim rank points[edit]

Points are earned when crossing afinish line to begin lap 2 or enter another segment of the track. The points earned depend on the player's position and the engine class used. 200cc is considered identical to 150cc here, as it is across the rest of the points calculation. The action triggered also allows one extra second on top of the player's normal combo time before the next action.

Kart bonus-points multiplier[edit]

The base points of the action are first multiplied by the bonus-points multiplier of the kart, determined in two parts. The first part is a simple multiplier dependent on the kart's tier on the course: top-tier karts receive a x2 bonus, middle tier karts receive x1.5, while bottom-tier karts receive the default x1. A further multiplier is applied based on kart rarity and level, as shown in the below table. The multipliers stack, so x1.1 on top of x2 becomes x2.2.

Special skill boost[edit]

Every driver, kart, and glider has aspecial skill that separates it from the others. For drivers, the special skill is a unique item, such as theBoomerang Flower orCoin Box; these are covered in the "Item Actions" section above. For karts, the special skill is a boost to a general action, such asMini-Turbo orJump Boost, which awards more points and a bigger speed boost when performed. For gliders, the special skill is a boost to a general item, such as theBanana orSuper Horn, which increases the chance of rolling that item and awards more points for landing a hit (or simply using the item, in the case ofMushrooms). The point bonus for kart and glider actions is added directly to the score after the multipliers, and depends only on the item's rarity; it is not affected by level or course tier.

Combo bonus[edit]

When performing multiple actions within a short period of time, the player receives a combo bonus for each successive action. The length of time allowed depends on the level and course tier of the glider used. The combo points themselves, however, only depend on the glider's tier on the course. The first action in a combo is awarded a combo bonus of 0, and successive actions each get an increase depending on glider tier:

  • Top-tier: bonus increases by 3 points with each action
  • Middle-tier: bonus increases by 2 points with each action
  • Bottom-tier: bonus increases by 1 point with each action

There is also a cap to the combo bonus that depending on engine class:

  • 50cc: actions beyond the 6th receive the same bonus as the 6th
  • 100cc: actions beyond the 11th receive the same bonus as the 11th
  • 150/200cc: actions beyond the 16th receive the same bonus as the 16th

This leads to the following table for max combo bonus:

Top-tier153045
Middle-tier102030
Bottom-tier51015

Bonus-points boost[edit]

The bonus-points boost is a single points bonus that is added to every single action performed, up to and including the 200th. The driver, kart, and glider are each considered separately in calculating the bonus. If an item in use has the course as its favoriteand is at level 2 or above, its bonus points boost is determined by the ceiling (rounding up to the whole number) of the following formula:

  • Item base points
  • × (item level - 1)
  • × (cc / 30,000)

Where 200cc is still treated as 150cc. As an example, a level 3Bowser at the base cap of 675 base points used for a 200cc race atBowser's Castle 1T, one of its favorite courses, gives the following boost:

  • Base points: 675
  • × (lvl 3 - 1) = 1350
  • × (150 / 30,000) = 6.75
  • Ceil(6.75) =7

Thus, 7 extra points per action are earned. If theBull's-Eye Banzai at level 2, but with minimum 200 base points, is used, it adds the following boost:

  • Base points: 200
  • × (lvl 2 - 1) = 200
  • × (150 / 30,000) = 1.00
  • Ceil(1.00) =1

The kart would thus be worth just 1 additional point per action. On the other hand, a level 6Swooper, with the base cap of 400 base points grants the following boost:

  • Base points: 400
  • × (lvl 6 - 1) = 2000
  • × (150 / 30,000) = 10.00
  • Ceil(10.00) =10

The total bonus-points boost for this setup would be18 points per action. Currently, the maximum boost is80 + 29 + 29 = 138 points. The bonus-points boost is reapplied at the end of the race, using a different formula that yields similar results.

Position points[edit]

At the very end of the race, points are given based on the player's level and finishing position, along with another helping of the bonus-points boost. Nintendo gives the position points formula as:

  • Base position points
  • × position bonus
  • + driver's bonus-points boost
  • + kart's bonus-points boost
  • + glider's bonus-points boost

Base position points[edit]

The base points the player earns for finishing 1st are called base position points. These range from 2000 to 7500, depending on player level and engine class:

Position multiplier[edit]

When finishing in a rank other than 1st, a simple multiplier is applied to the base position points, with diminishing returns for lower ranks:

  • 1st: x1.00
  • 2nd: x0.85
  • 3rd: x0.75
  • 4th: x0.65
  • 5th: x0.55
  • 6th: x0.45
  • 7th: x0.35
  • 8th: x0.20

Bonus-points boost[edit]

The driver, kart, and glider each apply their bonus-points boost again at the end of the race. The formula is largely unchanged, but two extra steps are added:

  • Item base points
  • × (item level - 1)
  • × number of actions (capped at 200)
  • × (cc / 30,000)
  • × position multiplier

Since the same boost is applied to each action during the race (assuming a 1st-place finish), this will be roughly equal to the bonus-points boost earned throughout the race, although it tends to be slightly less due to the favorable rounding on individual actions' boosts.

All of these battles ended with an action count of 70. Given that, at the time each of the latter three screenshots were taken, the player level was 213, 214, and 215 respectively, the screenshots demonstrate that the number of points earned with the "Well fought!" bonus is proportional to the player level, having increased between each instance shown with 2 or 3 points.

The player level was 213 at the time these screenshots were taken. These screenshots show the variance in the number of points earned as part of a "Well fought!" bonus, seemingly proportional to the action count of a given battle.
