If they can't even get a WarioLand course in the game, Captain Syrup has no chance

hey, they had wario land music hidden in wario's shipyard, i think that's a step up to a wario land course.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Is that all they got?

Heck, even WarioWare got a course before Wario Land. (but then again Namco developed that game and they're more willing than Nintendo to put references from other Mario games such as characters in their Mario games for some reason)

Captain Syrup is a horrible addition. She just wouldn't fit. I'd rather see Baby Wario get added before that.
FUCK THAT. YOU'RE SICK MAN.

You'd rather pass off the chance for another female character with a terrible, undeveloped baby character?

I want female characters too, but I don't think we should add one, well, just to add one, you know.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I would rather have Captain Syrup than Baby Wario. We need another female character that's not royalty, and Captain Syrup plays important roles in the game she appears in and she's a freaking female pirate.

I suppose Captain Syrup is better than Pauline. But still, I don't think they should add those kind of characters just to put females in.

If they want another female, I'd rather see Dixie Kong, and heck, even Tiny Kong before those.

True, but at least she's better than both Pauline and Candy Kong combined. (if you didn't realized, that was a Rocko's Modern World reference ;))

I don't hate any of them, and it's unreasonable to say any of them shouldn't join Mario Kart. If there are female characters important enough, giving them preference is okay since lack of girls is a fact.

Judging with recent game appearance, the girls I think should be in are Pauline, Dixie and Mona from Wario games.

the WaruPeachy that got scrapped during the development of Mario Tennis 64

WTF. Source please?! D:

They felt that Waluigi was basically made as a counterpart to Luigi like Wario is to Mario, they wanted to have Peach have a Wario-esque counterpart, but Miyamoto refused to allow it to happen. Check Mario Tennis 64 page on the wiki and look in the trivia.

What's funny is that I found out about this today before that comment was made. Ironic?
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

He asked for the source, bloophead. You should directly link it for convenience

http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Tennis_64#Trivia
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Oh God. Thanks Miyamoto for not letting that happen. Can you imagine? We would have had that thing in almost every single Mario spin-off starting with Mario Party 3. Then again, I would like to have a main female villain introduced in the series.

And thanks to both of you for the info! :)

UH, I don't think Tennis 64 was a right place for new characters, where Waluigi is the first main character that didn't come from any platformer.

Captain Syrup already made her debut before Tennis 64. Coincidentally Camelot also features human athletes. If "counterparts" just means cloning princess and plumbers, both Syrup and Nina/Kate from MarioTennis GBC are much more creative than W-Peach obviously.

From the Camelot history, it seems that Nintendo and Miyamoto had argued for Golf 64 due to the overuse of generic human character, which is lack of Marioverse characteristics. However, both Golf 64 and Tennis 64/Open are two different extremes and lack of balance.

Back to topic, besides Syrup who is clearly a boss type, many other characters can be Peach's rival for different reason (Pauline: imaginary rival in love, Mona: cooperated with Wario). Hope Nintendo can consider to give Peach a rivalry story in spinoffs by putting more playable girls.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Waluigi was introduced in Mario Tennis for the N64, actually.
He caused an uproar to many Mario fans, when Waluigi wasn't in MK7, and yet there's a course for him.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

We all wanted more characters and all, but what about the game options?, ballon fight, coin runner, mission mode, why we can´t disscuss that?
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Never really liked Coin Runners. I think Bob-Omb battle needs to return. (Not the "only bombs" option, I am talking about the one in Double Dash)

Also I'd like to see Mission Mode like in DS, although fleshed out into a full story mode.

Yeah, why not? Mission mode should definitely return IMO. I think coin runners, baloon fight, and shine theif would all be good too. Throw in mirror mode time trials and I'll be happy with just about any roster :)
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

King Bob-omb would actually be an interesting character.

Too bad his chances of appearing are unlikely...(but we can dream)

Well, if you do this...

LIGHT:
Diddy Kong --> Luma/Lakitu
Kooper --> Koopa Troopa
MEDIUM:
Fawful --> Birdo
Dimentio --> Diddy Kong
Lubba --> Shy Guy
HEAVY:
Antasma --> King Boo
Wart --> Wiggler/Metal Mario/Honey Queen

...then I can see it being possible (only slightly, I doubt Big Bob-Omb, Toadsworth, & Petey Piranha would be included). But it is a personal roster so what I just wrote is irrelevant.

You should totally ruin the roster. But it is a personal roster so what I just wrote is irrelevant.
Yeah, you would rather have that...thing... than awesome Fawful? And I consider Diddy Kong to be light. You basically just took every new character I really want, and replaced them with something already in.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I just put in characters with a better chance of getting in. I already said that since it's a personal roster than what I wrote is irrelevant to you. I guess I just made my own personal roster off of yours.

Birdo has appeared in quite a few spin-offs so there's no reason to off her now. Personal opinion makes a dream roster. Odds and reasoning make a believable one. That's why I said those changes are irrelevant to your roster.
