Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

I thought Morton sounded normal but I think that's just me

But Ludwig received a noticeable change :[

It just seems to me that the Koopalings have their relevancy dwindled while at least Baby Mario and Baby Luigi made infrequent appearances in a wider variety of games (RPGs, Baseball, Tennis, and Platformers).

Not to mention, Baby Peach IS a debuting-in-an-RPG character...

well its still kinda clone like though since its just another baby, unlike a character that was specifically made for an rpg.

Weak evidence, but it's still some support that RPGs don't get totally neglected. And Baby Peach is still a more realistic choice than other RPG characters, so...

I don't know if there are other people thinking what I'm thinking about how I feel Koopalings are shoehorned (like Rosalina) rather than slowly integrating in more and more Mario games, starting with the best game to put them in: baseball.

Lol, what up with Ludwig's and Morton's voices?

Seriously, did you hear Morton's voice clip when he performed a trick in the trailer?

I don't even remember their voice. I think their character voices, something that defines the character the most, are just bland.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Wendy

Medium Class

Rosalina
Iggy
Ludwig

Heavy Class
Wario
Donkey Kong

So right now, we have 24 characters. Now let's assume there are going to be 30 characters total. Birdo, Diddy Kong, and Bowser Jr are shoe ins. That brings is to 27. I can see Dry Bones and King Boo coming back. That would leave room for one more character, so I'm gonna be selfish and say Petey Piranha.

Of course, we don't know exactly how big the roster will be. There could be 32, 34, or even 36 characters.

Even that would be disappointing with 7 newcomers being Koopas who all serve the same roles for the most part in their very unoriginal recent appearances. This causes me to push my expectations up to 40 or more.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

See, this is my argument FOR H. Queen being in.
  • H. Queen was included because Nintendo wanted a female heavyweight (Rosalina was changed to a cruiserweight).
  • The only other viable female heavyweight is Pom-Pom, and with that Koopaling stunt Nintendo pulled off, her chances have been reduced.
  • We also need a returning character that debuted in Mario Kart 7.
  • While H. Queen has been an apparently unpopular character, that has never deterred Nintendo from returning other "unpopular" characters including Baby Daisy.

This is based on my opinions however, but I think I made several strong points.

Baby Luigi said:
Actually, I think Lemmy would be a Featherweight, if anything

I did bring up the following with the unconfirmed character inputs...

Feather
Dry Bones

Light
Diddy Kong

Medium
Birdo
Bowser Jr.

Cruiser
King Boo

Heavy
Funky Kong
Dry Bowser
King K. Rool

I did also mention Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong, but keeping the roster amount at a value that's divisible by 8 (excluding Miis) tends to be the trend for a lot of Mario Kart titles.

And if you're wondering about K. Rool, he could always wear a Red Baron type of outfit, similar to the beta model below.

Doesn't matter what King K. Rool wears: I'd be very happy if he was playable

Same, I think he's an awesome villain, even better than Bowser.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Bowser Jr. is better served as a lightweight.

I can imagine Iggy Koopa being middle weight more than a cruiser.

I'd rather have him show up in Smash before he shows up in Mario Kart.

That would be good too, but he did show up playable in Super Sluggers before Smash so...
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I'd rather have King K. Rool than the Koopalings. :-X

There's always April's Nintendo Direct. December killed two birds with one stone for Rosalina, so who's to say that it could happen again.

That would be bad, but not cry worthy. CRYWORTHY would be, "Let's put the Party Islands as a race course!"

No more like: "We are sorry to announce that our database ran out of useable Pokémon, and every Pokémon in the Pokémon Bank has been replace with Mudkips."
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

Nothing is stopping Nintendo from putting characters on bikes, no matter how silly they look.

Unless it's Petey Piranha.
