Take out Metal Mario, replace with King K. Rool
I don't see that happening.
 
Re: Mario Kart Wii U

Who could I replace Pianta with? I only put him there because I couldn't think of anyone else.

We all know that Petey no longer has a ghost of a chance, right?

Actually, he was a beta element in Mario Kart Wii, so his chances are still significant
I hope he appears as apposed to a Mii or something of that nature. It was a shame they took Petey out and replaced him with Miis in Mario Kart Wii.

Well anyways, here's a possible roster that I'd be fine with:
Light:

Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
Shy Guy
Boo
Koopa Troopa
Paratroopa
Dry Bones
Goomba maybe?
Possible ParaGoomba?

Medium:

Mario
Luigi
Yoshi
Peach
Daisy
Rosalina
Waluigi
Bowser Jr.
Diddy Kong
Um, Kamek?
Hammer Bro maybe?

Heavy:

Wario
Bowser
Dry Bowser
Donkey Kong
Petey Piranha (very small chance)
King Boo
Wiggler maybe?
Maybe Funky Kong?

I'd be fine with this roster.

Why the hell would somebody as skinny as Waluigi be heavy!? Same with Rosalina.
 
Re: Mario Kart Wii U

Even though Waluigi and Rosalina are skinny, they're likely in the Heavy group because of their height.

How do you know the Mii replaced him?

I don't know, it's just that Petey would have been more suitable for the game because he actually came from the Mario universe. Sure Shy Guy came originated in a different game but I'm sure more people know that Miis didn't come from the Mario universe than Shy Guys coming from Doki Doki Panic and Shy Guys look more like Mario characters to me than Miis do but hey, that's just me.

There's a difference between big and tall you know. For example, Mario could be heavier than Luigi because Mario is fatter. Saying that Waluigi and Rosalina are heavy is like saying that I'm bigger than a five and a half foot tall male Gorilla only because I'm four inches taller. Also, I'm sure that Rosalina is not that much taller than Peach. I'm also sure that Rosalina and Waluigi weigh no where as much as characters such as Bowser, Wario, and Donkey Kong so shouldn't that put them at a medium weight?
 
Re: Mario Kart Wii U

Ok, picture Waluigi and Rosalina trying to fit in a kart big enough for Mario. It would look silly, because they are much taller than Mario. That being said, they should be Cruiser weight like Rosalina was in the last Mario Kart game.

Rather than whether they're that heavy, to me the staff might think that they fit in heavy/cool vehicles more than medium ones. The only way to differentiate is to make them cruiser racers.

stop using the miis. I mean, they are taking over the freaking Mario universe. They kind of take the Mario feel out of the game. (Plus, I feel insulted by them, I would not be even shorter than Lemmy Koopa in real life without a powerup, unless those characters look much taller in person, and I do not sound like a weirdo.) What is this? Is it Mario Kart or
Mii
rio Kart?
Honestly I think it should be another topic thread, because not only Kart series use Miis.

I'd say you have to figure out that what's Mii standing for in a game. To me they're kind of system that Nintendo want to spread, not a character to replace a spot in sport games. Unless we're saying that the staff spent most their time in Miis instead of improving the original system.

I'm not sure about Shy Guy, but you are right about the Toads.

Koopa and Dry Bones could swap them.

N64 Rainbow Road in full HD for Retro course plz


YAY! Rainbow road in HD!
 
Re: Mario Kart Wii U

If they're gonna return N64 Rainbow Road, please include neon pictures for all playable characters to fill up that black sky.

I was thinking about this too, but I think that after all it may not be a good idea. The whole purpose of having retro tracks is the nostalgia factor, and things should be left exactly as they used to be (I'm aware of some changes in some tracks). It's not a bad idea, but there would be way too many characters in the sky.

What I would like is that they "mixed" the colors on the track instead of having one color after another. I always got dizzy when I played Rainbow Road 64.

I'm alright as it is.
 
Re: Mario Kart Wii U

I'm fine if they mixed colors. I would usually stare at the horizontal sprites more than it is healthy to look at them

I used to get kindof like a motion-sickness sort of a thing going on with my eyes when I played n64 rainbow road, but it was fun.
 
Re: Mario Kart Wii U

This game needs some Fawful.
Fawful_sprite.png

Also, :waluigi: needs to come back.

Remove Honey Queen, replace Metal Mario with Shadow Mario, maybe throw in Dimentio. I'd like to see Rogueport as a course, and Wario's home course should be a bank. Maybe something from Super Mario Galaxy as well. (An actual galaxy, complete with gravitational fields, I'd like to see how that could be implemented)
