Editing This Week's Ranking

'''This Week's Ranking''',<ref>{{cite|quote=Get 1st place in tier 99 in This Week's Ranking.|title=One of the [[List of challenge cards in Mario Kart Tour#Extreme Challenges|Extreme Challenges]], ''Mario Kart Tour''}} ({{file link|MKT ExtremeChallenges.jpg|Screenshot}}.)</ref> also referred to as simply '''rankings''',<ref>{{cite|url=faq.mariokarttour.com/hc/en-us/articles/4409411472665|title=How do rankings work?|publisher=faq.mariokarttour.com|language=en-us|accessdate=|archive=archive.ph/nhBdm|archivedate=January 16, 2025, 19:11:43 UTC}}</ref> is a competitive feature in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' wherein each player is ranked against nineteen other random players based on their total score in a given [[cup]] for the duration of one week. The ranking is dynamic, with players potentially overtaking each other on the leaderboard as the week progresses. The quality of a player's opponents is determined by that player's tier, which changes depending on the player's placement by the end of one ranking cycle. Placing sufficiently high nets the player in-game rewards, such as [[Ruby|rubies]], [[coin]]s, drivers, and vehicle parts.

Every Wednesday at 10:00 p.m. PT, a new cup of the current [[List of tours in Mario Kart Tour|tour]] is selected to host a ranking mode. For one week, each player competes against nineteen others for the highest total score across all courses in that cup, except for its bonus challenge. The game randomly draws these nineteen opponents from its playerbase. However, the player facing these opponents may not appear as an opponent to them in turn.<ref name="Reddit post"/><ref name="Reddit comment"/> Tapping on an opponent's listing in the leaderboard leads directly to the "Tour Records" section of their player profile, which shows the scores they attained in the three rank-eligible courses of the current week.

The game presents a series of challenges tied to the player's performance and progression within rankings. Each card of the [[List of challenge cards in Mario Kart Tour#Standard Challenges|Standard Challenges]] set labeled "2-1", "2-2", and onward includes one objective of reaching a given tier, ranging from tier 5 to 30. The [[List of challenge cards in Mario Kart Tour#Tier Challenges|Tier Challenges]], permanently added at the start of the 2022 [[Mii Tour (2022)|Mii Tour]], feature a host of ranking-related objectives, including reaching certain tiers, securing first place multiple times in a ranked cup, racing on a ranked cup's course a number of times, and surpassing a certain score in a ranked cup. As of the 2023 [[Yoshi Tour (2023)|Yoshi Tour]], completing all Tier Challenges, which culminates in reaching tier 99, unlocks an additional card of [[List of challenge cards in Mario Kart Tour#Extreme Challenges|Extreme Challenges]], which focus on getting first place during a ranking cycle a certain amount of times while in tier 99. Like other challenges in the game, completing any of the objectives so described rewards the player with rubies and a special [[List of badges in Mario Kart Tour|badge]]. When clearing a challenge whose goal is reaching a certain tier, the player earns a badge indicating that tier.

The player can earn various rewards, called '''Ranking Bonuses''',<ref>The label "Ranking Bonus" is displayed on-screen when the player wins an item from rankings. {{file link|WildSluggerUnlock.jpg|Example screenshot}}.</ref> by finishing somewhere within or slightly below the top half of the leaderboard. The amount and quality of the Ranking Bonuses earned by the end of a cycle depends on the player's tier and placement. To view the rewards of a given position in the current week, the player has to click on the icon to the left of that position in the leaderboard.
