Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Decapitation, sadly, seems to be the only method. It's how thousands of Piranha Plants met their fate nowadays.
 
Just curious, is there another character/enemy you guys would wish was King Boo's partner instead? Or are you 100% satisfied with Petey be his partner?
 
Regular Boo instead would be nice.
 
This is the same game series that has Koopa and Red Koopa with Wings and Mario and Mario In Chrome as playable characters, so I don't think Boo and Bigger Boo with a Crown is that much of a big deal to differentiate.
 
This game highlights why voice actors should be more involved with games. The little touches like Baby Daisy saying "Upsy Daisy" when going up an anti gravity section make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Wish Bowser Jr. said that, but they didn't record any new clips for him.
 
There's one part in the Mario Kart producer's interview (on the topic of ARMS, his most recent game) where the interviewer was asking about Birdo being playable. He mentioned this name in English, which if you don't know, is not the same as her Japanese's name (Catherine). I guess that part of the interview is awkward because of the different names, but it's amusing that this is happening in Mario, since I imagine this is more common of an issue in Pokemon (most Pokemon have different names across languages).

Makes me wonder if developers of a certain game have to be familiar with the names used in other territories. Some names are easy because they are universal, like Mario and Yoshi, but if Rosalina or Toad, or even Koopa Troppa are referenced, I imagine they might not be familiar with that name unless they researched well.

(By the way, I agree with the interviewer: Birdo should have been playable)

Thank you for reading.
 
and if you just say Koopa, they'll be confused thinking you meant Bowser.

But not only did Birdo have a generic female name but Boo did as well which is Teresa. It's interesting to see the name origins too.
 
That's not even the hardest 200cc track imo
