When there is a bonus theme is it possible to see what it is? Or is it a surprise? I'm either dumb and don't know how to preview it or you can't :p

edit: Nvm I see that it's down below. The underground 8-bit Mario. It's just so plain and ugly I couldn't tell it wasn't a generic black background lol

I got four free plays today! First time I got the three play bonus badge. I was able to get a bunch of Animal Crossing badges.
 
In case anybody hasn't seen them, I've found a few 'tips' for the mario kart catchers.

When this item box goes on the bounce pad, it'll sometimes fall off of the pile and give you it without trying anything! It is also possible to get the mega horn badge when this happens. I recommend playing another catcher that you won't need to reset then after every play switch to this one and tap on the bunny to get it to reset the badges for you.
It's actually quite easy, I managed to get it in only 1 turn! The trick is to get the left 'claw' of the crane onto the top part of Pink Gold Peach's hair. It should pull the block right off! Just don't go too far left.

Hope this helps! I've been spending quite a lot on this recently... :rolleyes:

Thanks for the tips! I heard it was possible to get badges without playing on some occasions but no one had described how, so thank you!

Managed to get four free plays in the practice catcher! Got a super bonus and managed to remove one badge to make the rest fall in. c:
 
I've never gotten more than 1 free play from the practice catcher, is it just really rare to get more? I managed to clear all badges twice in a session but ended up with no free plays from the badges themselves. (But did get the "every 10 badges you get a free play x1" so I wasn't entirely out for the day).

If you really know what you are doing I guess 5 board clears is possible on some setups. But I'm pretty sure you can't do that on most of the boards so...

Got 3 free plays today, and boy was I happy! I'm really going to try again so then I could get some more Majora's Mask badges!

I've been playing the Japanese version more or less every day since April, and I have averaged maybe 1-2 red badges (3 plays) per month. I've only gotten 5 free plays once since I started, I think. However, the game is pretty generous with the blue badges, as I've gotten at least 1 free play nearly every day. I can only remember a few times I got no free plays, and even then that was just because I sucked at the practice catcher and didn't earn enough dud badges.
 
They keep re-using the ac badge themes, ugh give us some new sets

IKR? "Hey, instead of those badges that are out in other regions that you really want, have a load of badges you've seen before!" Uggggh. gIVE US EUROPEANS THE POKEMON AND MM AND WHATEVER OTHER BADGES OTHER REGIONS HAVE ALREADY
 
I got four free plays today! And i wasted them all! I literally did not get a single badge!

Hooray!

;v;
 
Oh no!

Some of the new Yoshi's Woolly World catchers are pretty easy. If only I'd gotten more free plays. Oh well. ;; Got two badges on the free play the bunny randomly decided to give me, and got two badges from that, but then I got no badges the second try from the practice catcher. WOOT.
 
I just downloaded this today and I have to say its almost as frustrating as an irl crane game. But I love it. its almost almost just as fun as playing irl arcade.
 
It's really fun, and a good concept. Unfortunately, wallet consuming, but great.
