This is something that you could get from the My Nintendo Store as a Platinum Points reward, where there was also a set for the Knockout Tour. They cost 500 points each and I got them at some point last year, because we have the perfect fridge for this type of item:
And they look quite nice. When playing Mario Kart World as of late, I made it a small ceremony to add a magnet whenever I got three stars on Mirror Mode, meaning that I had fully completed the corresponding cup or rally. (It also gives you three stars in 50cc to 150cc.) If they add 200cc eventually, then I will do it all over again.
But when you have kids who like to play Mario Kart, then this might be nice to have as well for similar reasons. So, I can recommend these items, should they become available again.
Anyway, this also made me realize how the icons between the Grand Prix cups and the Knockout Tour rallies mirror each other thematically:
- Mushroom ↔ Golden Mushroom
- Fire Flower ↔ Ice Flower
- Star ↔ Moon
- Green Shell ↔ Spiny Shell
- Banana ↔ Cherries
- Leaf ↔ Acorn
- Lightning ↔ Cloud
- Crown ↔ Heart
That's a cool detail. Makes you wonder whether they will replicate this in potential DLC or not care about this any longer. For example, they could do a Bell Cup and a Lucky Cat Rally. Or an Egg Cup and a Fruit Rally. And more importantly, will they also release magnets for those?
