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!
Toad. For 30 years, it’s never been anything but Toad. He’s my little mushroom man!
I’m also a Toad or nothing! Double Dash Toadette/Toad combo or nothing!
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
Dry Bones because I’m a spooky scary skeleton
Rosalina cause she’s cute
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.
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, I’ve almost always picked baby Luigi.
My son and I play Mario kart 8, so it’s up to him usually 🤷 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!
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.
Yoshi… he’s so cute 🥰
Haha that… Is… beautiful! 😁
He’s just sittin there
Luigi because I can relate to his anxiety
Incredibly relatable
Yoshi
Waluigi
Wah hah hah! I’mma gonna weeeeeen!
