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!
Luigi because everybody underestimates him...until they get destroyed.
The little brother method never fails! Plus we love a good medium weight class character
Jokes on you because I'm actually an older brother. Always empathized with Luigi though. Major underdog vibes.
Baby Peach. I love to see my friends loosing to her. They gifted me a Princess Peach themed GameCube controller for my birthday.
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
I hope they understand the power they gave you with that controller lol
Toad. For 30 years, it's never been anything but Toad. He's my little mushroom man!
Iโm also a Toad or nothing! Double Dash Toadette/Toad combo or nothing!
Rosalina cause she's cute
Dry Bones because I'm a spooky scary skeleton
Yoshi all day every day. I dig the sound design of this character
Usually I pick Yoshi, but I have no idea if that's a good pick according to the meta.
Luigi because I can relate to his anxiety
Incredibly relatable
My son and I play Mario kart 8, so it's up to him usually ๐คท but I tend to be Luigi 9 times out of 10, he loves Luigi. Otherwise backup is Mario.
I do also like Koopa Troopa...
Mario Tanooki
Tanooki Mario or Birdo for the creepiness factor.
Tanooki Mario has great stats. Also my choice
Do you know where I can find some cool sites about MK8 stats?
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
Very cool, thanks!
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, Iโve almost always picked baby Luigi.
Waluigi
Wah hah hah! I'mma gonna weeeeeen!
Yoshi
Been a Rosalina user fairly consistently since Mario Kart Wii
Yoshi.. he's so cute ๐ฅฐ
Haha that.. Is... beautiful! ๐
He's just sittin there
I pick Peach every time. Just for the gender euphoria. ๐
SNES, GC: Koopa Troopa/Nokonoko
64/GBA/DS: Yoshi, Toad
Wii and onward: Koopa, Bowser or their bony variants ๐
Baby Peach. IDK why but I always have.
Side opinion: Mario Kart Wii is the best MK game created. Change my mind.
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.
Shy Guy's also gotta be pretty far up the list in terms of voice lines
My go-to is toad...he's just so light, makes drifting and handling so much easier.
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
I like picking bowser, just because I find barging around the course as king Koopa pretty fun
One of the best joys in Mario Kart is feeling large and in charge lol
Usually Luigi on MKDS (I don't quite know why), but in MK8 I use my own Mii - because it's me!
Shyguy is bestguy
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.
Toad always!
I like driving with Mario, just feels right :). Also Donkey Kong because of a severe case of nostalgia for Donkey Kong Country.
My partner is Baby Mario and I'm Peach
Daisy! She's the beeest!
Wario #1!
