My Mario Kart 8 Roster (Updated!)

[Dorayaki]

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.

Well I agree with Kooper. However I don't see making many one-appearance bosses or RPG character precede as new comers, before many other secondary current characters who haven't made in Kart games.

RPG characters should be a choice, however, remember that RPG aren't the only in Mario series.

 

[Shyghoul]

the RPG characters need to go and Lubba should be Heavy due to his size imo

Koopa Troopa and Birdo are also missing like NSM says and if it was me i'd go ahead put Shy Guy in there since Wart is in

I consider too many in this list, but it's not that none of them should be in. And you didn't get why Kooper was there.

 

[Shyghoul]

yeah Kooper is a particular Koopa but he is way to minor to make an appearance

same with the rest of them

Yes, minor is a concern I agree, but still don't mind giving them a chance.

Making representive is reasonable since this tribe is important enough. Or I don't see why you even want a playable KT.

 

[New Super Mario]

Yeah, and Shy Guy! I race as him in MK7. I want him to return.

 

[Magikrazy]

I don't want Birdo until she has a female voice. The creature we have now is disturbing.

I think that's what all Birdoes sound like, regardless of sex. Besides, if he did get a female voice, he would be a female and not a cross-dressing male as Nintendo had confirmed. His disturbingness his what makes him Birdo.

 

[Ray Trace]

Birdo HAD a female voice in the Super Mario Advance and Mario Tennis games. I think it should have stayed like that instead of that....trombone voice of hers.

I personally think in the earliest version, Birdo is a crossderessing guy, and in the current one s/he is a neutral individual who determines to be a girl.

But the other distubing thing is if Birdo is the only individual that wants to be a girl, it's weird to see other birdos using a feminine voice and appearance.

RPG characters should still go imo, plus i'd get rid of Ludwig and add Koopa Troopa, Dry Bowser, and Shy Guy.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

-I kind of ran out of room for Dry Bowser; anyway I think King K. Rool is better than an essential Bowser reskin (yes I know but it uses almost the same frame/model, whatever)

-you know how I feel about RPG characters

-Shy Guy is good (only seen on handhelds so far though, i believe)

-Kooper is better than generic Koopa. I only keep Dry Bones until a unique Dry Bones (other than Dry Bowser) shows up.

-Ludwig is the oldest of the Koopalings if I remember correctly and it would be between them and Boom Boom for a new Koopa character, and the program I am using (Smash Bros roster maker) does not include Boom Boom for some reason, and importing Antasma and Spongebob into it was hell so it was much easier to just add Ludwig to represent the Koopalings.

 

[LN1]

Wait a minute. You were seriously considering to put Spongebob in your Mario Kart roster?

 

[Ray Trace]

RPG characters...at least they are reasonable in the slightest sense

Spongebob.....WTF!?

 

[Windy]

Spongebob? I'm extremely hilarious.

 

[A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros.]

Updated:

I'll kindly say my complaints:

Kooper, Bobbery, Fawful, Geno, Dimentio and Antasma might not make it, they're RPG characters and Kooper replacing a generic one is never going to happen.
Spongebob in MK8!? Why the **** would a TV show character appear in a kids karting game
King Boo should have his spin-off look, not a fan-made artwork.
Ludwig only really appears in main games, not spin-offs
last, I'm not sure K.Rool and Big Bob-omb will actually make it, K. Rool hasn't appeared in 5 years.

 

[Dorayaki]

Kooper might not make it, they're RPG characters.
I'm not sure K.Rool and Big Bob-omb will actually make it

We see how important each characters is, not the game typ they come from. You didn't get why Kooper was there.

But obviously this roster is a dream roster in many aspects. I don't take it serious.

If King K Rool is still considered an important boss of DK series, I think he should. But I'm not sure how Nintendo deal with him in future games.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

Ummm... you guys are mis-understanding me. I never considered Spongebob for this roster. That was for my Smash roster, which is being made with the same program. I ended up cutting him anyway. Will people stop telling me that good RPG characters should be replaced with generics and boring characters picked from the same old group every stinking time? I say, a Mario character is a Mario character is a Mario character. Has nothing to do with, OOOH! Mario's less developed adventures that are the same every time>>>his more developed adventures that has diversity and is actually interesting, I think the Mario series characters should be one big, happy family when it comes to spinoffs such as Mario Kart.

 

[New Super Mario]

Geno is owned by Square. He has no chance.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

Spoiler: It can happen

 

[New Super Mario]

Spoiler: It can happen

That's a crossover. Unless Mario Kart 8 is called "Square and Mario Kart", then it's not gonna happen.

And even so, Geno wasn't in Fortune Street or any other Square game to date.

 

[Dorayaki]

Geno is owned by Square. He has no chance.

Well, it should be that he isn't in current canon of Mario series as an important character. He neither has any important role in SE games, so his problem isn't doing with copyrights.

-Dry Bowser actually has become a more staple part of the Mario series unlike K. Rool who is becoming more and more obscure which is why i think DB will be in over him

-Ok

-Kooper is way too minor to appear compared as opposed to generic Koopas who are one of the most major enemies in the Mario series

-Boom Boom would probably appear over Ludwig since he's pretty much a solo character, Ludwig appearing and none of the other Koopalings would be kind of wierd, but if you couldn't add Boom Boom then ok

what i said is just how to make more realistic, keep it a dream roster if you want

I personally think Koopalings are more distinctive. If Nintendo would try, they can have seperate appearances in different spinoffs.

Unless Dry Bowser will be a rival or boss seperate from Bowser in future games, I think different bosses like King Boo and King K Rool who rules a different troop can make it more interesting.

Kooper and some other characters are created based on the most know species. It's rather weird to say you want and don't want a playabl KT at the same time.
