Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

Honestly, the vehicles that CPU characters drive seems like an oddly specific thing to focus on. When I'm playing, the only thing I'm focusing on as far as the racers is where they all are and what items everyone has. They could all be Mario riding Pipe Frame with Standard Tires and I wouldn't care any more or less.

It adds flair and personality to the game.

I only care what a CPU drives in when I'm playing Mario Kart Wii, since it's fun to push them off with the Honeycoupe or the Wario Bike.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I want to see (based on promotional screenshots):

Daisy on a Cat Cruiser + Slick/Normal
Shy Guy on a Flame Rider + Off-Road
Lemmy on a Sneeker + Normal
Roy on a Badwagon + Normal/Normal Blue
Mario riding a GLA (I guess)

I think it's unlikely Mario will use a DLC kart, but anything can happen. Btw, are CPU's programmed to use the Roller tires this time around?

I like seeing Wario drive that idiotic Cloud Car in Battle Mode in Mario Kart 7. Hell, in battle mode, you'll get to know your CPU opponents quite well, so adding a variety of karts just spices things up instead of seeing the same combinations over and over and over and over again.

Yes they are.

Mario uses the B-Dasher, which is a DLC kart. Waluigi can also be seen driving the Duke.

It applies only when you're racing online and I don't and online is dead.

I wouldn't mind if every Mario Kart from now on was just an expanded version of Mario Kart 8 with balance changes.

Yeah, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe doesn't do it for me. Everything added looks great, but some new tracks would have pushed me to buy. I don't mind though, since I can still get enjoyment out of Mario Kart 8.

Oh *bleep* no.

I want MK8 to DIE already. All this awful kart parts , not matching colors and the lack of a proper voice acting for Rosalina is giving me visual and auditive cancer.

Please BURN IN HELL MK8 , your time is up. MK9 is the future.
