Yea they're easy to get. In fact, I'd recommend going through the tour paying modest attention to the pink coin challenge so you stockpile a few extra for the Toad Rally. From there, you start playing Toad Rally and buying stuff for the Kingdom Builder. Once you've acquired enough Toads for special buildings like Bonus Rooms and ?-Blocks, you can check em periodically to get more Plaza Tickets. (I got 30 today just from checking the blocks.)

This game offers no way to buy Plaza Tickets with real money. If you somehow run out, you can trade Platinum Points for tickets on My Nintendo.

I ain't payed Nintendo my MARIO ransom yet, do the tickets come fast and easy with the full game?

I have 100 just from clearing all the levels (without special coins) once.

It's actually become a problem for me to spend enough tickets before I hit the cap at 99. So don't worry about running out of plaza tickets :v:

Friend codes are the dumbest thing in the world and somebody at Nintendo should get fired for including them.

You can just directly send friend requests to Facebook/Twitter friends and you are actually alerted when someone tries to add you, so it's not quite as bad as the DS setup.

Why your Miiverse friends aren't automatically included, who knows. I'm sure they'll have that sorted out before the Switch is out.

I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to decorate my kingdom to look exactly like the "Kingdom Past" picture that shows when you click the castle, only to find out that there's no white flowers to buy.





Anyone know if it actually does anything if you match them up?

You can buy white flower patches in the my nintendo screen, where you unlocked toad. Let us know if it does anything when you match it.

Perfect match doesn't appear to actually do anything at level 10. I guess I'll just keep working on leveling up.

Is there any reason to play with the kingdom builder? Because aside from the three special pipes, I'm not going to touch this if it doesn't unlock a dope set of special courses.

You unlock rainbow bridges to build more stuff. But other than the special buildings it doesn't seem like there's much point to it, no.

There are buildings that unlock characters and bonus buildings which can give you coins and tickets every eight hours but you do not have to do the decoration stuff really, no.

As far as I can tell the special pipes are simply just one single bonus level, which is kind of disappointing with how much effort it took to get every single colored coin.

It seems like a good idea to not continue past world 3 while rallying, i stopped there and just rallied until i unlocked luigi. The ghost house/purple toads are much easier to win if you reach the room with the red circle in it, if you grab 5 red coins in time you get a star and at the top of that room is a gigantic pile of coins that'll allow you to win no matter what because most of the time your opponent is stuck in the previous room trying to get out.

I'm methodically gathering the coins in each stage in order. Once I get through World 2, I should be able to get all colours of Toad from the Rally and I'm going to try and farm up enough to unlock Yoshi & Luigi.

Nothing in the kingdom matters at all it seems. I've unlocked everything but the 8-bit Luigi statue and set up the main island exactly like in the picture (with the bonus cake) and didn't get a message or anything. A bonus set of worlds beyond the three pipes would have been cool, but oh well.

The airship rally is the only one really worth playing, IMO. Just a heads up, once you hit 9999 you stop gaining more toads, and no matter how many you earn per run the game just shifts toads around kinda randomly (a run where I earned 19 red and 17 green toads netted me +7 red, +9 green, and took away from the others). If you don't balance things, getting some of the last color-specific buildings will end up being a huge pain in the rear end.
