Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Re: Mario Kart 8

So today I realized if you use a Blooper in first place it will spray you. I had the Blooper in first because I passed like 3 racers getting hit by a Spiny Shell on Toad's Turnpike and was wondering what the Blooper will do since I received it just as I passed the racers. Is this new to 8 or has the Blooper had this feature in other Mario Kart games?
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I think it's new to Mario Kart 8; normally if you use the Blooper in first, it will do nothing.

The Janitor said:
also being sprayed now makes you slide across the course like youre on ice which is NOT NICE

That's better because it finally makes the Blooper not useless, but still, it rarely matters.

It's never too early to start speculating about the next Mario Kart game, right?

Here's my 5 predictions for Mario Kart 9's roster, followed by 5 characters I actually want to see.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I just want Baby Luigi in a handheld Mario Kart for once
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I think the next one will have at least Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. Probably Peach and Daisy too. Isn't the 3DS already stronger than the Wii? If so the next one will be able to handle a roster even bigger than Mario Kart Wii's.
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I don't really get why the size of Mario Kart 7's roster in the first place
 
Re: Mario Kart 8

I think there's a pattern going on.

GBA had 8, DS had 12, 3DS had 16, the next one will probably be 20.

We will obviously have Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Toad, Koopa Troopa. Those are given.

Wario, Daisy, Rosalina, and Waluigi are all but certain to appear.

The next three will be Shy Guy, Metal Mario and Lakitu.

Then, another veteran. Most likely Toadette, but could be someone like Diddy Kong.

The last four will be newcomers. Nabbit will probably be one of them.
