Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

I sometimes pair Mario into ugly combinations (like badwagon with roller tires so it looks like it's missing tires or a sports bike with button tires so Mario looks larger than the bike he's driving on).

I also think button tires look horrible on pretty much everything.

Even the Teddy Buggy? I'd think they'd look right at home on that one.

And the Cushion tires look terrible on anything.

I think the Teddy Buggy would look appropriate with these, too, if only for the theme.
 
I like making Baby Mario drive on Cushion tires. I want him to drive on the wackiest contraptions possible.
 
Nah, we have GLA tires. Best looking ones.
 
Aside from the Retro Off-Road tires, I also love using the Leaf tires and the Wood tires. As for the gliders, I like the Peach Parasol and the Super Glider the most.

I also like the Sponge tires, but I only use them when I'm using DK.
 
I've now made a backup kart for Peach and Pink Gold Peach if I get tired of constantly using the Badwagon and I don't feel like using their bikes.

As for Cat Peach, she doesn't need a backup kart. She and her Cat Cruiser are already purrfect.
 
My go-to combo is this:

A heavier character (and my favorite Koopaling) so as not to get pushed around, better acceleration because mishaps happen, the Bowser Kite because Bowser, and Yoshi thrown in for good measure!

But for 200cc, I go with something with a little more control:

Admittedly, I don't actually remember which tires I used, but I'm pretty sure it was the Buttons.
