Re: My Mario Kart Wii U Roster

I understand your not wanting to add Honey Queen. But why not add someone like Lubba. If you don't want to put in any RPG characters, that is. Maybe Petey Piranha or even a boss from SMG/SMG2. And why isn't Bowser Jr on there? My preference obviously includes Fawful, but you can put what you want on your roster. DLC sounds like a good idea.

Uh, I thought it's the amount. It's like Peach had NSMB1 so that's enough for her.

And it's much different between who doesn't have to be and who can't be in a major game. If being more intended, like Camelot's examples, you can make a professional generic or real-world racer who comes to challenge Mario in the story mode of Kart 8.

Ashley and other Wario crew had much more appearances than other RPG guys. But it's likely to start with Jimmy or Mona if Nintendo is willing to give them a try, who also happened to be good heavy racers.

Sorry if i divert but...I dont think mario kart will EVER have a story mode, i rather want the return of Mission Mode, where you dont need explain why King Boo explode when peach collects all the coins, or make the characters you in reverse, its all just for fun.

Sonic All Star Racing already do the REAL WORLD RACER thing and if Nintendo do it, it will see like a copycat, and camelot games hasn´t a story mode in the lastes sport games (and they dont do the kart series)

I need to adress that nobody expect Funky Kong to be in Mario Kart Wii, from DK series, Dixie was more likely character to put in a Mario Kart.

I think the character decision is more to balance the 3 main categories Small, Medium, Large and that maybe one of the reason funky appears, with mario kart 7 we had more categories and medium its the category with less characters (Mario, Luigi, Mii) so there´s many possibilities.

Also we have Nintendo embrace DLC and the miiverse that the developers can see as a feedback medium so we can expect many new racers too.
 
Re: My Mario Kart Wii U Roster

Generic professional athletes appeared in Mario series already. I took the professional racer example just in order to say that he/she would never fit in the Mario main games, if it's the first purpose. Even RPG characters are better choices in that case.

I don't think story mode is necessary, too. As you mentioned Sonic series, the Riders' stories weren't very compatible with the gameplay to me. But it may be okay if Nintendo use it in a right way. For example, achieve one event to unlock a certain character.



I like Funky, and like to play as him. The concern is three kong guys isn't a good combination. The old way of categorization might not be good enough (since many main characters are medium class), but I believe we have enough types of heavy/cruiser characters in Marioverse to be chosen from, like King K.Rool, Candy or a heavy Wario crew. Another option is to replace Dixie for Diddy in Kart Wii, though they wouldn't be likely do that. Hope Dixie can be in this time if we get light class for those kongs.

Lubba--- I'm not sure. So far he only made one appearance in Marioverse. I expected him to be a Party 9 host first but weirdly failed.


DLC is uncertain to me. If the staff really use it in the way we expect, now we'd play as Dixie or Waluigi in Kart 7.
 
Re: My Mario Kart Wii U Roster

Some wanted Story mode but I would rather have a adventure feel like Diddy Kong Racng and not just a progress story like Sonic Riders.

I liked Funky too and like you i see these 3 kongs a odd combination, Diddy has almost-imunity (DK still the first kong option in a kart game diddy is the second one) and with the new DK Series treatment the next posible kong would be Cranky, Lubba i see him more like a host character that a playable one, but hey if Honey Queen can be in a mario kart game HE SURE TOO...(MK7 has the weirdier character roster)

Another thing, the game will be heavily based in NSMBU and the next 3D MARIO GAME, so we can expect some NSMBU tracks and if the next 3D Mario has a NEW very important character as Rosalina, that character will be in the game too.

She had better become one of those that is a one-time thing, I would not want her in MKU with her annoying "Do-DEE-dooo!" sound. God, Nintendo, please scrap her.

Frankly, Metal Mario is a worse option than Queen Bee.
 
Re: My Mario Kart Wii U Roster

Well, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, Honey Queen is just my personal opinion of the worst character. Metal Mario wasn't a good choice either, though. Lakitu was my personal favorite new addition, but that's just me.
 
Re: My Mario Kart Wii U Roster

I dont own mario kart 7 yet, and i kinda like metal mario, but seems metal mario hasnt his own animations or phrase (other that said METAL MARIOOO), maybe if he were more malicious in his phrases (mario spin off made him like a rival for mario) he would me better

Some opinons can be convincing. You can find a female heavy racer less random than Honey Queen and support her, but as I know it's pretty difficult.

Despite that Nintendo should have put other major characters who never made it to Kart games, I actually think it's nice to give other minor characters a one-time chance. Rosters don't have to be occupied by main characters always, and it can give uniqueness to the game.

I expect to see Rosalina racing again, but not necessarily because she must be able to get in the next 3D main game, since other main characters should have that chance too. Similarly, we don't know when DK series get their WiiU and 3DS games, but the main characters still remain the same as fans know. I expect to see other DK members have a major return in both new DK games and next Mario Kart.

This is fine, but RPG characters should be in their own game..and the roster is too short.. :P

I thought you didn't notice this thread.

And DK characters should be in their own game, in the same word. We know there wouldn't be an independent Paper Kart. Being reused or staying should be judged by their individual position in Mario stories, not judged by the titles they came from.
 
Re: My Mario Kart Wii U Roster

You know a generic that I want? One of the ghosts from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. It would be pretty sweet if a Greenie is a playable character. Unlike the other generic enemies, Greenies have a personality of some sort.
 
Re: My Mario Kart Wii U Roster

That too. Greenies have much more charm than say Koopa Troopas or Goombas. They're probably the only generic I would like playable.
 
That's pretty bad, IMO.

You cut a lot of characters that, by now, should be classic Mario Kart characters (like Birdo, Koopa).

And your size isn't even accurate. Lubba should be big, and Diddy Kong should be medium.

I don't want Birdo until she has a female voice. The creature we have now is disturbing. I consider Diddy to be light. Lubba is heavy, yes, but for a Luma (which are light) so he gets bumped up to Medium. Koopa is generic; Kooper is a specific Koopa who can represent the species instead of a random Koopa that somehow is more important than the rest for no apparent reason.
