Gold Standard: Difference between revisions

The Gold Standard returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', retaining most of its design from ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', but with the "8" emblem being replaced by the respective character's own emblem. Initially, only [[Gold Mario]] could drive this kart, as it was only available for use in the [[Coin Rush (Mario Kart Tour)|Coin Rush]] mode, but in the [[List of Mario Kart Tour pre-release and unused content#Closed beta|Beta Test]], other drivers were able to use it outside of Coin Rush. The kart was eventually released to all players for use outside of Coin Rush in the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2022)|2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]], where it serves as a variant of the [[Red Standard 8]]. Unlike the Red Standard 8, it uses the [[Gold Tires]] from ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Also unlike the Red Standard 8, this kart increases the duration of [[Slipstream]] boosts and the number of points earned for performing a Slipstream.
