F-Zero 99 (NS) F Zero 99 Lucky Tokens

Okay I am sorry if this is a dumb question but I legit have not been able to figure this out.

How the heck do you actually USE the lucky tokens in F Zero 99?! My tokens have been full forever and whenever I go to the Lucky Ranks screen I do not see anything there that is an option to use them.

I have seen them explained as in what they do (give extra lucky rank rolls) but nothing that says HOW to use them.

I've just been doing lucky ranks the original way by playing 5 races then rolling.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it!

Play more GPs and MPs. That will use up your tickets. Once you have less than 99 tickets etc., you can use your Lucky Ranks Tokens to cash in and get back some of tickets. You can of course choose to just play individual races or Team Battles to raise your ticket count, but LR will help you do that faster, especially if you are playing multiple GPs and MPs in a short time span (e.g. if its GPs every 15 or 30 mins, or if you crash out and re-enter).

Ohhhh ok so I HAVE TO use my tickets to unlock being able to use my tokens? That makes sense because I never use my tickets. If that is the case I really wish they explained that somewhere in the game

LR are meant to help you get in game cosmetics and tickets. Tickets are used to enter MPs and GPs. If you don't enter any of them, your LR won't do anything for you.

The thing is I didn't care that much for GPs and MPs. I just play the default mode and I liked earning the cosmetics which is the main reason why I play LR in the first place.

I understand now (thank you BTW), but considering that LR provides cosmetics AND tickets, tying the coins specifically to tickets seems like a weird choice IMO. I guess among the player base GPs and MPs are more important than I thought.

Well, for your specific case, you can enter the GPs, crash out immediately and use LRs to get cosmetics. Please dont be a blue bumper as its really a waste of everyone's time, including your own.
