Absence in Mario Kart 8

Jamster93 · Jul 20, 2015

How come Diddy Kong and Bowser Jr not in Mario Kart 8?

Glitchy Bowser Jr. · Jul 20, 2015

Nintendo decided not to. I really wish Bowser Jr. was playable, though.

Time constraints? Just not planned at all? ~~Deviously planned s DLC exclusives?~~ The world may never know.

A Luigi-themed course.

No, Twisted Mansion doesn't count.

I... er... don't relly see how this fits the topic. :koopa:

I feel like a Luigi-themed course is absent in Mario Kart 8. Thus, it is, to me, an Absence in Mario Kart 8.

YuruNex · Jul 20, 2015

Ah. I figured the op meant just the two characters mentioned.

Or maybe he did, I don't know.

Maybe if the game released in 2013 instead.

Maybe ask ~~Iwata~~ Miyamoto for the answer.

Lumastar · Jul 20, 2015

A course based on the Dream World from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team would have been cool.

Lario · Jul 20, 2015

Wait, Bowser Jr. wasn't in Mario Kart 8?
It's probably because of all the Koopalings.

Ray Trace · Jul 20, 2015

Are we STILL complaining about this? The game's about a year old, both DLCs are out, and people are still asking this question?

RandomYoshi · Jul 20, 2015

The game is actually older than a year now. It's one year and one month + old.

Ray Trace · Jul 20, 2015

I know I'm not good with numbers. Approximations ftw

Mcmadness · Jul 20, 2015

Baby Bowser is the future.

GalacticPetey · Jul 20, 2015

The real criminal offense here is that they didn't take advantage of the anti-gravity and put in Wario Coliseum.

Yeah, I guess it would make sense for a delicious irrational number to point that out...

Nintendo is like, "there's Big Blue." and then we got bored of dlc after a week and begs Nintendo for moar.

i still want bowser jr, diddy kong, dry bones, hammer bro and boo to be playable.

Uniju · Jul 21, 2015

There are no major absences in Mario Kart 8.
Unlike Mario Kart 7

freakworld · Jul 21, 2015

waluigi decided that no bikes = no contest

winstein · Jul 21, 2015

I hope that, as unlikely as it is, there will be DLC for Mario Kart 7 that adds Waluigi back in in some way. That would coax me into getting that game, since I am not that interested in it without the Wah.

Thanks for reading.

Obligatory post that I'm still pissed of no Birdo.

Nysic · Jul 22, 2015
