Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Err...there are bugs in this version that aren't in the original MK8.

A lot of sounds, like the Baby Park cog sound, don't loop properly, giving the feeling that it is incomplete.

In Mario Kart TV, the characters only have one boosting sound, which gets repetitive REALLLL fast.

The CPU can't get Super Mini Turbos anymore.

The item warning sound only plays in online matches if you are the host.

Ok Nostalgic for me is Galaxy. Not even Mario Kart Wii feels nostalgic yet since I still play it (with Custom Tracks).

And I remember the original original Mario Kart 8 Roster did not features the babies nor Shy Guy and instead had Toadette. Good times.

That CSS order is all wrong. Glad they fixed it with the full version.

I guess you can say that but to me, the Selection Screen is still not fixed. Toad and Toadette aren't together. Bowser and Bowser Jr aren't together. Same goes for Dry Bowser and Dry Bones. Order of other game characters should be in Chronological order so Link first, and then Inklings last.

So Eurogamer managed to sneak a question about Birdo :birdo: in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to Yabuki himself.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-07-21-arms-yabuki-mario-kart-nintendo-interview-birdoplease

I feel almost bad after such an elegant answer coming back with a question like this. I said Mario Kart 8 was perfect. Well, it's almost perfect. Because it's missing Birdo.

Kosuke Yabuki: Birdo?

[At this point the translator asks the assembled Nintendo staff in the room what Birdo's called in Japan, and after we all struggle to remember I pull up on my phone this handy page I'd prepared earlier and present it to Yabuki.]

Kosuke Yabuki: Ah, yes! Catherine! I can't promise anything, but now you've mentioned it...

I'll take Birdo in Arms, that's okay.

Kosuke Yabuki: Do you really like her that much?

Well, there's a big fan club at Eurogamer. If you put Birdo in, I can guarantee all your games will get amazing reviews from now on.

Kosuke Yabuki: We'll look into it!

Hey I'd be fine with Birdo. Even though I don't care for her at all, Mario Kart feels incomplete. Like any character missing from the MKWii feels incomplete.

Also why is Birdo's name Catherine in Japan?

Why is her name Birdo in America? Localization. Sometimes characters have radically different names.

Birdo and Diddy Kong would be enough to make this roster feel truly complete.
 
In terms of returning veterans I also want to see Petey back. I'm glad King Boo returns but it is a bit sad to see Petey not accompany him, I mean if his size is a problem they can do what they did to Honey Queen and shrink him a bit.
 
He was even in DD!!, that means they can totally bring him back. He was even almost planned to be in MKWii, but didn't make it for some reason.

The big head is probably the best reason for why Petey never came back. In Double Dash!!, the camera angle had to be adjusted whenever you're using Petey Piranha, or else his head would make it hard for you to see any incoming hazards that you're trying to avoid.
 
Well we can have his head be at the same place of Bowser's shell. That way (if that doesn't distort his body of course), it'll be perfect.

It's kinda funny how Petey is now associated with King Boo despite having nothing in common other than being large bosses in Gamecube games and being partners in Double Dash.
 
Petey also has good chemistry with King Boo in Baseball

Also, them being partners in Double Dash is why they're paired together in the first place.
 
Both are screwed over by E Gadd, that's something in common.
 
Or they didn't want to include him after experiencing controlling Petey.
 
Petey's head is too stupidly big, as MSG has pointed out, they needed to change the camera angle specifically when players use him. It's a huge hassle.

Well, camera changes aren't out of the question, because the game already does so for potted plants.
 
Coding it for a specific character is a hassle compared to not changing any camera angles at all.
 
They could redesign Petey in a way that his head isn't as much of a hassle.
