Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

[Starlight24]

Or maybe since it's a MK8 mod, I believe the modder put Dry Bones' textures on Koopa Troopa.

Or maybe not?

This is not a texture hack , this is a full model replacement.

How about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Deluxe Clones? (instead of the 3 returning racers you liked and the Inklings, you get more clones)

I am disappointed that there's no Silver Luigi or Verdigris Daisy (green copper, like the Statue of Liberty). Or Vanish Luigi.

I want Green Molybdenum Baby Luigi please.

It has Citrine Gold Daisy, so I approve of this hack.

 

[J-Yoshi64]

Is it a real metal, though?

Is it possible to put any model over a character? So a character someone likes can be put overs character that someone dislikes.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

I'd rather not put a character I like over one I dislike, because then the disliked character could appear as my favorite character if I ever play without the mod.

 

[Koops]

Then there should've been an option to actually choose which character is your favorite, something I should've posted in the MK9 thread.

The answer is yes, judging by Trash Daisy.

Conveniently, this stat calculator allows you to compare between MK8 and MK8D.

My answer is going to be complicated.

The simple answer is, yes, it's entirely possible to put any model over any character if the model import program exists and works for it. The bare minimum you need to do is rig the model to at least one bone, and you'll be set. That's pretty much it.

However, if you want your model to look good and presentable, your character should have around the same physique as the character you're trying to replace for proper animations, unless animation modding is possible that subtracts all of your bone placements so that you can have a character also with his old bone set. Otherwise, you'll end up with static characters who float around the world and therefore not being good. Or you'll end up with distorted characters, like the infamous Manchu / Pikadorf.

Here's an example of what I mean. The left picture presents Baby Luigi using the Ice Climber's boneset placement, while the right picture depicts Baby Luigi with his normal bone placement, which I replaced the Ice Climber bone values with with his.
