Talk:Mario Tour (2023)
Source for advanced planning of 2024 re-run
The evidence in question is two-fold. The first is that an ID in the game's data pertaining specifically to the new loading screen of the re-run was added in the 2023 Yoshi Tour back in April 2023, which is of course not shared by any of the other re-runs (aside from another ID that seems to pertain to the Sunshine Tour, believed to be due to them fixing the layering issue). The second is somewhat a continuation of that, as the version of said loading screen image used on the Past Tours' Stats website has already been acquired (in case you're wondering, that's where the higher quality versions I uploaded for most tours recently are sourced from), and the metadata on the image dates it March 16th 2023. I have extensively documented both Tour's IDs and the dates acquired from the image metadata used on Nintendo's Tour-related sites on some Google Sheets documents (in collaboration with well-known Mario Kart Tour dataminer KoopaV) and could go on and on about all the correlations there and how concrete it all is if necessary. So whatever source is deemed appropriate in this situation, just say the word. Polley001 (talk) 07:08, March 8, 2024 (EST)
- To reiterate the matter at hand, the trivia regarding the 2023 Tweets and videos being removed mentioned the possibility that this was done due to the 2024 re-run changing up the spotlights, which was removed because of doubt around them having planned it back then. As mentioned in my original message, evidence exists to them having already planned it, and as such I think the point should be added back (which I would do myself, however as my initial revert was met with a re-revert and request for evidence I'd rather not risk more of that kind of back and forth).
