I've been racing as Wario ever since MK64. I love being a powerhouse on the racetrack! In the original SNES Mario Kart, since I don't have Wario, Bowser is my backup. It's good to be big

Who do you pick in Mario Kart when it's time to get down to business and dominate the track?

Waluigi number one!

[-] mate_classic@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

Luigi because everybody underestimates him...until they get destroyed.

[-] Kot_Box@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

The little brother method never fails! Plus we love a good medium weight class character

[-] mate_classic@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Jokes on you because I'm actually an older brother. Always empathized with Luigi though. Major underdog vibes.

[-] acid419@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

Baby Peach. I love to see my friends loosing to her. They gifted me a Princess Peach themed GameCube controller for my birthday.

[-] mint@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

I love when associations happen like this. I always sent the screaming turtwig meme to my coworkers when things got rough at work. So for my birthday they got me a turtwig figurine

[-] Kot_Box@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

I hope they understand the power they gave you with that controller lol

[-] Kichae@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

Toad. For 30 years, it's never been anything but Toad. He's my little mushroom man!

[-] friendbot@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Iโ€™m also a Toad or nothing! Double Dash Toadette/Toad combo or nothing!

[-] mint@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

Rosalina cause she's cute

[-] Vegasimov@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

Dry Bones because I'm a spooky scary skeleton

[-] spoonful@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

Yoshi all day every day. I dig the sound design of this character

[-] AstronautOlympian@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Usually I pick Yoshi, but I have no idea if that's a good pick according to the meta.

[-] nachtigall@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

Luigi because I can relate to his anxiety

[-] Kot_Box@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Incredibly relatable

[-] RosemarySolomon@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

My son and I play Mario kart 8, so it's up to him usually ๐Ÿคท but I tend to be Luigi 9 times out of 10, he loves Luigi. Otherwise backup is Mario.

I do also like Koopa Troopa...

[-] frank@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Tanooki Mario or Birdo for the creepiness factor.

[-] Jdreben@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Tanooki Mario has great stats. Also my choice

[-] Krusty@feddit.it 2 points 2 years ago

Do you know where I can find some cool sites about MK8 stats?

[-] Jdreben@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Not off the top of my head. I'll go google around though! I'm sure that exists...

Edit: maybe this? https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_8_Deluxe_in-game_statistics

[-] Krusty@feddit.it 3 points 2 years ago

Very cool, thanks!

[-] Towerism@beehaw.org 5 points 2 years ago

It used to be Yoshi and Toad because I like light characters. Their acceleration allows them to recover more quickly from hazards. Which in mind makes them more consistent for me.

Ever since baby characters were playable, Iโ€™ve almost always picked baby Luigi.

Wah hah hah! I'mma gonna weeeeeen!

[-] Strawberry@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Been a Rosalina user fairly consistently since Mario Kart Wii

[-] Volfkha@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Yoshi.. he's so cute ๐Ÿฅฐ

[-] a_world_of_madness@beehaw.org 8 points 2 years ago
[-] Volfkha@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Haha that.. Is... beautiful! ๐Ÿ˜

[-] offthecrossbar@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

He's just sittin there

[-] Raincloud@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

I pick Peach every time. Just for the gender euphoria. ๐Ÿ˜Š

[-] Rentlar@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

SNES, GC: Koopa Troopa/Nokonoko

64/GBA/DS: Yoshi, Toad

Wii and onward: Koopa, Bowser or their bony variants ๐Ÿ’€

[-] metaltoilet@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Baby Peach. IDK why but I always have.

Side opinion: Mario Kart Wii is the best MK game created. Change my mind.

[-] StrahdVonZarovich@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Although he's not in this list, Shy Guy. I played a lot of the DS Mario Karts, and he was usually my go to. Not really sure why, I guess I just liked his design.

[-] offthecrossbar@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Shy Guy's also gotta be pretty far up the list in terms of voice lines

[-] cavemeat@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

My go-to is toad...he's just so light, makes drifting and handling so much easier.

[-] NubTubz@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Koopa, either the normal or the skeleton version. Isn't his name dry bones or something like that? Anyway, those are the only two I'll ever play

[-] Elbullazul@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I like picking bowser, just because I find barging around the course as king Koopa pretty fun

[-] Kot_Box@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

One of the best joys in Mario Kart is feeling large and in charge lol

[-] vaelfonia@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Usually Luigi on MKDS (I don't quite know why), but in MK8 I use my own Mii - because it's me!

[-] Inspectigator@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Shyguy is bestguy

[-] fuckgradigeudlejere@feddit.dk 3 points 2 years ago

Ah yes! Wario Numba one!! But I probably played most of my games with the shy guy since I always joined friends on the DS :D But man, that Wii UI brings back warm feelings.

[-] Zmezmer@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Toad always!

[-] knokelmaat@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I like driving with Mario, just feels right :). Also Donkey Kong because of a severe case of nostalgia for Donkey Kong Country.

[-] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

My partner is Baby Mario and I'm Peach

[-] nadiaraven@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Daisy! She's the beeest!
