Used Block would be my choice. He has been there since the beginning, so he deserves to be playable. He also has awesome quotes and an interesting backstory in the series.
Yes, this. The design of the NPCs really bugged me for some reason...
But overall it's an awesome game with an enjoyable plot and a unique charm to it.
Re: Mario Kart 8
I really love this new Rainbow Road. It looks gorgeous, has awesome music, and is really fun to race on. I like all the new tracks, except maybe Shy Guy Falls.
By the way, for some reason, I didn't have much trouble three-starring the cups on 150cc. I have yet to try Mirror...
Re: Mario Kart 8
I got the game, and I must say, I don't get the coin item as often as other people do. In fact, I only got it, like, twice so far while in first place, and I've played each cup twice.
Also, Pink Gold Peach is fantastic. I'm not even kidding. She's one of my mains now.
I had one where I saw Koopa Troopa in the middle of a crowd of people in a train station. I tried to get close to him, but couldn't because of the crowd. He then gave me a thumbs up. The End. :koopa:
No, this is the best RPG quote ever:
"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh."
I got the game, and beat Champion's Road faster than I thought I would, without power-ups. For some reason, Mystery House Marathon is giving me more trouble...
I like both the open-ended, exploration-based design of the earlier 3D games and the more linear design of the 3D Land/World games, so whichever style they choose, I'll be happy.
Um, because the series has some of the best level design, scenery, atmosphere and soundtracks found in any platformer and you'll miss out on it just because you don't like the main character?
Re: Mario Kart 8
We need MOAR KONGS. If they confirm more Kongs as playable characters, I'll be so happy that, that...
I'll perform a cover of "Favorite Foods" wearing a smiley bucket in my head and post it here. :dk:

The second course shown, where Luigi is seen driving through a course with spinning gears in the background.
Re: Mario Kart 8
I'm glad to see the Koopalings being playable. I'll probably play as Ludwig and Roy the most.
Still waiting for Birdo, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong though...
And there's also the lives. Game Overs have been heavily nerfed in recent games, so lives are meaningless and just serve to slow you down if you lose all of them and make you select a "Try Again" option. Oh and to put 1-Up Mushrooms in the stages.
It's funny how she doesn't want to actually help much when the universe is in danger in one game, yet she decides to join the heroes in an adventure after the Sprixies are rescued and there's not much of a threat in another one.
What is the point of the timer, anyway? To "keep you moving" throughout the stage? Why would they force you to keep moving? They should think of those who like to take their time and explore, collect stuff, etc.
Re: Mario Kart 8
Well, Goomba wouldn't be that bad for me and R.O.B is very unlikely to return. But I think there'll be a Baby Toad before a Baby Birdo.
Re: Mario Kart 8
I also don't like how you lose three coins every time you get hit. I think you should either lose less coins per hit, or be allowed to have more than 10 coins, with the speed boost capping at 10.
I don't know about the score counter, since it is a fun addition and doesn't get in the way of the gameplay, but the timer and lives counter should definitely be removed.
