Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

Was anyone actually surprised by this. I expected all of them to return. Hell, this game will probably have nearly every character who has been in a MK game before.

Yes I am.

Well, I don't know how to put it, but Baby Luigi's last appearance in a game was like 5 years ago. I was worried sick he wouldn't make it in. Seeing him in that almost made me cry and had me a fangirl-like squeal.

Anyone else notice the desert stage with the Dry Piranha's and then the head of Dry Bowser over a cave? I watched it many times (as many of you are doing too), and noticed it.

> Dry Bowser confirmed?

Funky Kong hasn't been forgotten people. What are the chances that he'll be back in Mario Kart 8?

I noticed that, and the likelihood is large.

Don't credit me: some guy on GameFAQs got there first
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

According to that picture, Sunshine Airport appears to be part of the Star Cup. I wonder if the listed track names are part of that same cup as well making each cup have 5 tracks instead of 4. It would make sense if Sunshine Airport was the first track of the Star Cup since it's an airport and it "takes you" to your next destination lol.

Also, various kart symbols can be seen. In the image with Bowser and Wario in the bone area (image posted above in a previous post), you can clearly see Toad's symbol on one of the flags, but on the far left you can also see Shy Guy's kart symbol on one of the flags. I would be pretty lame to plaster Shy Guy's kart symbol on something only for him to not be playable.

It also seems like the babies get new kart symbols as well?
