Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

I like the Goo Goo and Rattle Buggies the most. Aside from obvious reasons, there's just something satisfying about beating your opponents using a tiny baby perambulator.
 
I find the Boo Pipes to be a very handy kart for GP races. While the Boo Pipes's speed and acceleration are comparable to that of a lightweight kart, its weight is high enough so that it can compete with the Koopa King and Piranha Pipes without ever getting pushed back.

You hardly ever get to see heavy vehicles excel in acceleration, so it feels good that Double Dash!! has a heavyweight kart that's beginner friendly. Sadly, the Boo Pipes is unlocked very late in the game; by the time it's unlocked, you only have the All-Cup Tour Mirror Mode left to complete.

Maybe the developers did this to "suggest" that you used both Petey and King Boo combined with the Boo Pipes, since they can get every special item.

Speaking of a kart with high acceleration and top speed, I think the Offroader from Mario Kart Wii was also a bit beginner friendly, but it's massive size meant it was easy to get hit by an item.

The Offroader has the worst drift of all karts though, so it probably isn't that friendly for beginners, despite the slightly above average acceleration.

Really? When I use it, it drifts pretty well probably because of the average speed and above average handling. The Jetsetter is the one vehicle I cannot use in Mario Kart Wii, despite having played the game for 8 years.
 
I use the Jetsetter only because I like its design

But man its stats really suck

Same.

Sad part is that its one of the only 2 karts that fit Rosalina that are not the Standard one. The other being the honeycoupe.

I have no choices when it comes to karts in MKwii as result
 
I personally find the Honeycoupe to be the best designed heavyweight kart. I like the color of King Boo's and DK's variant, and it looks hilarious when pretty much any heavyweight uses it because the kart looks too small for them.

Mario Kart Wii doesn't really have a huge vehicle variety especially compared to later installments.

For example, I hate half of the small bike designs: Bullet Bike, Magikruiser, and the Quacker. I just don't like using karts that look like Mario enemies + wheels attached to them like the Cheep Charger or the Dolphin Dasher.

Vehicle designs based after enemies that I do like are the Road Jetter, the Blooper spaceship in Mario Kart 8's Rainbow Road, and the Flame Runner. Especially the Road Jetter, it's badass looking plane-like vehicle, what's not to like about it.

The Honeycoupe is a best-designed heavyweight kart, mostly because I like vehicles that look like cars and planes the most.
 
I really like the Dolphin Dasher and the Quacker, but yeah, for lightweights it's hard finding decent bikes when you're not a freaking baby. But yeah, echoing my sister's thoughts. It's also why I really welcome karts that resemble real vehicles (or ARE real cars) like the Honeycoupe, the Wild Wing (the best kart design in the series IMO), the P-Wing, the Badwagon, and the freaking Mercedes Benz, rather than "goofy cartoony Mario ones", but exceptions exist such as the Prancer and the Wild Wiggler.

I still think the Shooting Star from Mario Kart DS is probably one of the most putrid-looking karts though.
