Absence in Mario Kart 8

[Jamster93]

How come Diddy Kong and Bowser Jr not in Mario Kart 8?

 

[Glitchy Bowser Jr.]

Nintendo decided not to. I really wish Bowser Jr. was playable, though.

Time constraints? Just not planned at all? Deviously planned s DLC exclusives? The world may never know.

A Luigi-themed course.

No, Twisted Mansion doesn't count.

I... er... don't relly see how this fits the topic.

wario colosseum.

I feel like a Luigi-themed course is absent in Mario Kart 8. Thus, it is, to me, an Absence in Mario Kart 8.

 

[YuruNex]

Ah. I figured the op meant just the two characters mentioned.

Or maybe he did, I don't know.

 

[Glitchy Bowser Jr.]

A Luigi-themed course.

No, Twisted Mansion doesn't count.

Maybe if the game released in 2013 instead.

Maybe ask Iwata Miyamoto for the answer.

A course based on the Dream World from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team would have been cool.

 

[Lario]

Wait, Bowser Jr. wasn't in Mario Kart 8?
It's probably because of all the Koopalings.

 

[Ray Trace]

Are we STILL complaining about this? The game's about a year old, both DLCs are out, and people are still asking this question?

 

[RandomYoshi]

The game is actually older than a year now. It's one year and one month + old.

I know I'm not good with numbers. Approximations ftw

 

[Mcmadness]

Baby Bowser is the future.

 

[GalacticPetey]

The real criminal offense here is that they didn't take advantage of the anti-gravity and put in Wario Coliseum.

Yeah, I guess it would make sense for a delicious irrational number to point that out...

Nintendo is like, "there's Big Blue." and then we got bored of dlc after a week and begs Nintendo for moar.

i still want bowser jr, diddy kong, dry bones, hammer bro and boo to be playable.

 

[Uniju]

There are no major absences in Mario Kart 8.
Unlike Mario Kart 7

 

[freakworld]

waluigi decided that no bikes = no contest

 

[winstein]

I hope that, as unlikely as it is, there will be DLC for Mario Kart 7 that adds Waluigi back in in some way. That would coax me into getting that game, since I am not that interested in it without the Wah.

Thanks for reading.

 

[DragonFreak]

Obligatory post that I'm still pissed of no Birdo.
