Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart Wii U

I'm hoping they fix the invincibility times after getting hit by an item so you don't constantly get combo'd after being hit by one and lower the stun time if you get hit by one. MKWii took like 5 seconds just from a freaking green shell, blue is whole other story... >__>
Also I think Coins from MK7 should be removed; without them the speed boosts from Mushrooms/Stars/whatever are practically worthless. Speaking of items, I am really hoping they do not bring back the Thundercloud and seriously remove the damn Blooper. Worst items ever.

Battle should give you the choice to be in either teams or alone, choice of Classic Balloon Battle or MKWii's Balloon Battle. I think Coin Runners needs to be replaced since it's basically "OMG GET HIT BY RED SHELL AT THE END AND LOSE". -__-

Unlocking characters shouldn't require you to do several time trials, come on now... But don't gift wrap everything to unlock the characters either. :p
Speaking of characters, I'm hoping for a roster bigger than MKWii and actually has Toadette, the babies and everyone else. Except for Funky, I hate him so much and he's so overused solely for his speed stat bonus.

Eh, some characters would be cool to see again, but all of them? I don't think so, there are quite a few that I'd feel would be unnecessary to include again. (DK Jr., Honey Queen, Metal Mario, Baby Daisy, R.O.B.)

Shine Runners in Mario Kart DS did the whole concept right. It's not like OMG GET HIT BY RED SHELL AT THE END AND LOSE unless you have one Shine Sprite.

I agree with that. I absolutely despise doing time trials to unlock Baby Luigi and I despise even more doing all 32 tracks to unlock Toadette.
 
Re: Mario Kart Wii U

I'd like the Mario Kart Wii roster plus these newcomers:

-Paratroopa (Returning)
-Petey Piranha (Returning)
-E. Gadd
-Toadsworth
-Lubba
-Magikoopa

... And just make sure freaking Rosalina comes back. I mean, after two games in a row, and having her instead of having a "classic" character like Waluigi and even giving her her own racing course means she may become a permanent character in the series, don't you think?

I'd also like that they got rid of the Coins. They were pretty useless. The Thunder Cloud should never come back and they should get rid of Blooper too. I'd like that they re-introduce the Fake Item Box and the POW Block.

Also, yes, PLEASE reduce the time you spend doing nothing after you get hit by an item. So annoying.

Excellent roster. Very realistic. I'd just add Shy Guy, E. Gadd, Toadsworth and Lubba.
 
Re: Mario Kart Wii U

I really wish nintendo would stray away from these whole NORMAL ENEMY IS A CHARACTER idea.

It's kind of dumb and just seems silly, if antyhing I'd rather see characters based on that species rather than just common enemies or whatever.

I don't know, I think the most interesting and best character choices are the generic enemies.
 
Re: Mario Kart Wii U

I usually play as Shy Guy or Dry Bones if I can.
