Poochie was gonna be the final character, but tragically he died on the the return trip from his home planet.I hope Diddy and Poochie are the last two characters.

same as athens honestlyI don't think this Rome track looks too good visually in Tour, building surfaces seem too flat. Looking forward to the MK8D glow up.
Yeah that's my conclusion as well. All the better for it too as these tracks will be preserved in a non-mobile game.same as athens honestly
feels like the tour versions are afterthoughts at this point and all the texture work is being done for 8
I'm honestly expecting this when it comes to Pauline. She's been THE newcomer for new entries in the spinoffs and no one else comes close to her "star power" as a newcomer. Putting her in the BCP seems like a wasted opportunity to make her the big Mario Kart Next or whatever reveal with a new lavish New Donk City course or something of the sort.Definitely on the Diddy and Pauline train for Wave 6, unless they really want to save Pauline for Mario Kart 10 to be a big new addition. Really thought Funky was a lock, moreso than Kamek, but I guess not.
Unless we suddenly get an extra row lol, but I doubt that.
Yeah, you go down the bathtub drain!That starting banner between the two cups is amazing.
Didn't expect an underground section. Do you get into the pipes at some point?
Depends on when Wave 5 releases. I doubt Squeaky Clean Sprint releases in Tour before Wave 5 comes out. However, I can see them debuting at the same time.I'm soooo excited for this next tour. I think they did a great job differentiating Rome from Athens as you are in the city itself with the stone streets. The monuments look cool lit up at night. Also excited for Vancouver and Singapore to return, two of my fave city tracks.
What do you think the Wiggler Mii suit represents? Lakeside Park? Squeaky Clean Sprint? Both?
On the next console, maybe. LolNintendo has been good about reprinting games with more updates on cartridge. Do we know if there is one with some of the booster pack data on cartridge (despite needing to own the DLC separately)?
Hoesntly I feel that super Mario wonder stuff will be the big thing for the next Mario kart. As that game has the next batch of new usable characters since a 2d game finally has original characters for the first time since super Mario world. (Though dry bowser did come from nswmds)I'm honestly expecting this when it comes to Pauline.

I wouldn't discount Nintendo doing weird stuff. Them going out of their way to put 3 in this wave and Wiggler as one of them is definitely a bit eyebrow raising to me and if the Switch has another year left on it, I do kind of wonder if the whole BCP2 thing isn't more possible than I would have previously thought (albeit shorter and potentially more focused on just lifting additional content out of Tour as it is officially winding down).
I mean I like Funky a lot and want him back, but I also don't need him absolutely or anything. I just have always figured they'd prioritize him and Diddy as returning popular characters and play into Pauline as new... but Kamek does throw a bit of a wrench even in that TBH.
Exactly this, if no ID changes occur in the July update, it is truly over around the anniversary tour for new tracks.The real point of no return for Mario Kart Tour will surely be the July update.
Yeah, it's so weird that after this tour there is only 1 GBA retro datamined...no others. Even if Tour is wrapping up by the anniversary, are they seriously only giving 1 retro over the next couple months?Exactly this, if no ID changes occur in the July update, it is truly over around the anniversary tour for new tracks.
Considering there are supposedly still 4 more new tracks to add to Tour, that’s very believable. Add in a PPC tour with the GBA track and a Sundae tour, and that’s around 3 months of content which should push right up to the Anniversary.Yeah, it's so weird that after this tour there is only 1 GBA retro datamined...no others.

There was only the bathroom track in the Nintendo Direct, it was indeed a leak race, and for a long timeHello! Do you know if the races we saw in the nintendo direct were leak races??
Wtf where?? How????There was only the bathroom track in the Nintendo Direct, it was indeed a leak race, and for a long time
the internal name for squeaky clean sprint had been datamined before and based on its code (BR) and the objects associated with it people were able to guess that it'd be some kind of bathroom trackWtf where?? How????
Objects for a bathroom themed track were found via Mario Kart Tour datamining quite a while ago. Given that seemingly every new track introduced in Tour will be coming to Mario Kart 8 through the BCP, the natural conclusion was that the bathroom track would come as well.Wtf where?? How????
Oh thank you! Do you know if anything else leaked?the internal name for squeaky clean sprint had been datamined before and based on its code (BR) and the objects associated with it people were able to guess that it'd be some kind of bathroom track
there wasn't actually any clear visual evidence of it beyond that though, this is the first time anyone's actually seen the thing
i've probably forgotten something but there's one remaining brand new track (DK) which people are thinking might be "Desert Kingdom" given the expected release timing lining up with similar courses in the rotationOh thank you! Do you know if anything else leaked?
I don’t think so, we barely had the Direct this past week. First week of July seems just right.Good morning!
Is this the week we will get the Wave 5 trailer?
Like a 10% chance I’d say. Not impossible, but don’t expect it.Good morning!

I don't think it'll be next week either. US holiday. Either this week or the week after next makes the most sense.Like a 10% chance I’d say. Not impossible, but don’t expect it.
Next week seems the most likely, timing wise.
It’s also Everybody 1-2 Switch week, Pikmin Demo week, and in Europe, Nintendo is handling Rain Code. There’s a lot going on this week. I can’t imagine adding more.I don't think it'll be next week either. US holiday. Either this week or the week after next makes the most sense.
They’ve been continually shortening the gaps between each wave, I don’t see why we’d suddenly have to wait 5 months for the next one. The direct timing is more or less set in stone, so I don’t think that plays much of a role.The thing is they advertised Wave 3 during September 2022 Direct but it didn't release until December. I don't want to feel a bit like a killjoy (and I hope I'm wrong) but considering that the summer 2022 wave was released in August I don't see why this one won't be the same.
It’s only a holiday through Tuesday. A Wed/Thurs trailer wouldn’t cross that.I don't think it'll be next week either. US holiday. Either this week or the week after next makes the most sense.

I Saw this comment on Reddit about the trailer coming this week:
"It’s 1000% true using math and Nintendos patterns (yes I know, ) on the news section on the Switch, they show off two courses of the previous wave, usually in one week spurts, and after they show off the last 2, they announce the trailer the day after. And Nintendo is releasing Wave 4 courses, in 4 day spurts, and the first time they did it was the 16th, then 20th. So then the 24th, then the 28th, then the trailer would very likely drop the day after/the 29th. And add one week, like they usually do, boom, it’s the 6th. And it’ll be on a Thursday like they usually do."
Here is the link
Good morning!
Is this the week we will get the Wave 5 trailer?
They aren’t gonna release wave 5 one day before Pikmin 4. That week can almost certainly be crossed out for a release.They advertised Wave 4 during the February 2023 Direct and it came out exactly one month later. I think that's the situation we're looking at here.
Announcement July 13~
Release July 20~
This lines up with SQS being the July 26 Tour, after Rome/Moonview and then Lakeside Park.
