Shy Guy, Lakitu, and Metal Mario announced for MK8

[Boo Diddly]

I'm happy to see Shy Guy and Lakitu come back, but Metal Mario? he was the most popular Mario Kart 7 player! Why is he here?

 

[GalacticPetey]

Why does this need its own thread? We've been talking about it in the Mario Kart 8 thread.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

I guess people don't want to rummage from 1-2 pages of discussion? I dunno.

 

[SolarBlaze]

More generic characters? I'm just brimming with excitement.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

For me, none of them are as boring as Koopa Troopa or the Koopalings. Shy Guy has charm, Lakitu has a sassy attitude, and Metal Mario has the "Mia Mama" thing.

 

[Smashley]

disappointed that Metal Mario's back, but I wanted Shy Guy and Lakitu to return so yeah

 

[DragonFreak]

Still waiting for Birdo, but these characters are nice, so it's OK I suppose.

 

[Specific Neptune]

I'm happy to see Shy Guy and Lakitu come back, but Metal Mario? he was the most popular Mario Kart 7 player! Why is he here?

probably because he was the most popular mario kart 7 player

 

[GalacticPetey]

Still waiting for Birdo, but these characters are nice, so it's OK I suppose.

One of the advertisements along the side of the road showed Birdo in them. Don't worry. Birdo will be back.

 

[Shyghoul]

yay Shy Guy

don't really care about the others though

Took the words right out of my mouth :P

Glad to see Shy Guy back, don't really care about the other two.

 

[Ray Trace]

I liked all of them

 

[Windy]

Wiggler and Honey Queen will have returning.
29+unconfirmed 7=36
Birdo
Diddy Kong
Bowser Jr.
Dry Bones
King Boo
Petey Piranha
Kamek or Dixie Kong

 

[Shy Guy Forever]

Shy Guy is playable! Now I will pre-order the game and burn rubber!

 

[Magikrazy]

Wiggler and Honey Queen will have returning.
29+unconfirmed 7=36
Birdo
Diddy Kong
Bowser Jr.
Dry Bones
King Boo

Kamek or Dixie Kong

It seems like a roster Excellent you have there. I would be Kamek.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Kamek/Dixie Kong CAN'T be the only other newcomer. It would be off compared to the influx of Koopalings.

 

[New Super Mario]

Lubba and Toadworth.

Those are the two I really want to see. Plus E. Gadd.

or heck, even a Pianta over Kamek.

Lakitu is pointless other than to give LTQ free avatars if he so desires

 

[Nysic]

I like and a lot, but don't care for .

 

[Ray Trace]

Lakitu is pointless other than to give LTQ free avatars if he so desires

I wouldn't call that pointless

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Hey, Lakitu can't be more pointless than Koopa Troopa.
