Re: Mario Kart 8
The thread war has started just because Baby Luigi is "kind of" underrated.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Anyways, how do you feel about Rex being our obscure character this time? That dinosaur enemy hasn't seen the light of day since Super Princess Peach. He's got arms, legs, and he's not a variation of a Koopa. I think now would be a good time to give him some three-dimensional treatment.
Probable new characters: Dixie Kong, Kamek (after getting the shaft in Mario Kart 64), Boom Boom, Pom Pom, Hammer Bro. (But not all three), E. Gadd
Probable characters left out: Funky Kong (the obscure character of Wii), ROB (the obscure character of DS), Metal Mario (we have Baby Mario. Do we really need 3 Mario's?), Wiggler (only because it would look weird on a bike.)
Probable returns: Petey Piranha (perhaps a bit awkward on a bike?), All the ones confirmed so far, as well as all characters from Wii and the 3DS games with the exception of those listed above.
I also hope the roster not divided equally by weight class and the characters determined during races should use a rival system like in 7, instead of weight class distribution (4/4/4), or even better, make all the AI racers completely random.
But that's just me. Lol.

Re: Mario Kart 8
No, how about an "obscure" character whose genre hasn't been represented yet. Like, at all.
Rex is not a bad choice, however. But I would rather a unique character.

Re: Mario Kart 8
I'm not going to jump on this "I hate Honey Queen" bandwagon. She's a character in the Mario Universe, and she happens to be in Mario Kart 7. She's also another female Heavyweight, which is nice when you consider how outnumbered they are my female middle and lightweights. She also provides diversity. It sure beats the insane amount of Koopa variations we already have. I'll never understand the animosity towards her. I think she's an awesome.
I also forgot about Plessie. Plessie could be a nice "friendly" heavyweight. If they can shrink Honey Queen, I'm sure they'll do it for Plessie.
But again, we won't know anything for sure until the game comes out. Tumble is a nice idea, but I just don't see it happening.

Re: Mario Kart 8
Just like the Biddybuds and the Standards
I'm glad the Standard and Pipe Frame are not the only ones that gets a color change depending on character (I would count the Birthday Girl if it wasn't female exclusive colors). That's just lazy. How hard is it to recolor a body of a kart to a character?

Let's make a petition to put Tumble into Mario Kart. To 10,000 sigs!

Re: Mario Kart 8
dang, the new MK8 trailer makes me want to buy a Wii U this Christmas. Sadly, my parents spend their money including my savings (nearly $348) for a family car. I kept convincing my parents ever since the Wii U came out but they're always making fun of that console name, always calling it "Wii U, You Wee!", and also its still expensive in Australia. I still don't have a job until April. I think I am the only one out.
WHEN IS THE PRICE CUT FOR THE WII U IN AUSTRALIA? IT'S STILL $428 (premium) AND $348 (basic).

Re: Mario Kart 8
"Stupid annoying red thing", LOL :'D Sorry for replying so late, I couldn't use the computer yesterday...
Well, it's something. I think that's better than not seeing him at all. And no, I wouldn't do that :P I don't like to throw my happiness all over people's faces while making someone else feel bad. I have reasons to dislike Daisy and Waluigi, though. I'll start with Daisy, because it's simple: her looks and especially her voice. I really liked her previous design, but then Mario Party 4 came and ruined it all. Her redesign is absolutely hideous. And to top it all, they hired Deanna Mustard who has done an awful job in my opinion. Her voice is way too annoying.
Waluigi, on the other hand, was my favorite character in Mario Tennis and Mario Party 3, when he was actually cool. He was a new villain, he was mischievous, and rather scary. Those shiny eyes in Mario Tennis? Yeah, pure evil. That's what I liked. His voice was cooler then (even though he still has the same voice actor). Now he's just an annoying clown with a squeaky voice used for pure comic relief. I don't have a problem with him only appearing in spin-offs; actually I think there must be characters exclusive to spin-offs. I would have liked, however, that he had been given a backstory. Not one as deep and developed as, say, Rosalina's, but at least something that makes us believe that he wasn't created just because Wario needed a partner (it's strange, because Toadette was created for the exact same reason, but I just don't find myself hating her or even disliking her at all).

Re: Mario Kart 8
I think that if classes and vehicle customization returns, it would be interesting on a bike and quad.
I also would like to see special items return because it feels like there's no difference between playing as
, and the special items from double dash made characters different.
Balloon battle needs to go back to last man standing instead of what it is now because in Mario kart ds, i played that all the time, but then was disappointed by how they changed it. It doesn't feel like survival anymore

My browser couldn't take the arguments so it decided to crash.
Anyway I think Goomba would be cool to have, I'd like to see him driving with his feet, it'd be all silly.

Re: Mario Kart 8
Huh, I still like Daisy and Waluigi.....as my opponents in Mario Party games. I both think they're pretty funny when they lose. Wario still has the funniest losing animation in Mario Party 4-7, but, c'mon, I need other characters to fill in the other two spots (Donkey Dude is gone too).
I guess Toadette wasn't as annoying as Waluigi and she doesn't have a squeaky voice nor is she comic relief? She's been the same as she has always been.
I heard that special items were unbalanced, and it would turn Mario Kart 8 into a "Funky Kong" fest if there is even a slight imbalance.
I think points Balloon Battle is really underrated, though. I love continuously chasing after that yellow thing and killing him like 8 times in one match. But please, give us an option Nintendo to have both.
