What should Mario Kart be renamed to?

[The Golden Yoshi]

From your selection, Mario All-Star racing. Hopefully Sega won't sue or it'll be war all over again. If it's my choice, maybe something more creative, kinda like how Double Dash named itself after the main gimmick. So maybe it could be named after the main gimmick.

Mario Kart is fine, but as others said I'd like if the title didn't have a number in it. Especially if the number is slightly inaccurate. (MK7 is not the seventh)

 

[Magikrazy]

They don't count the arcade titles, so yes it is.

Dry Bones Kart DS

that was the best one. when will they go back to this? stupid nintendo, removing the best character

 

[freakworld]

Best character in mario kart ds was shy guy.

i was legit angry when my action replay broke.

 

[freakworld]

i dont even main shy guy anymore but okay

* freakworld took 5 DMG
* freakworld uses TELEPORT
* nothing happens

 

[Magikrazy]

And then I'm here waiting for Boo.

Link, the Villagers, and Isabelle are just guest characters (much like with R.O.B. in Mario Kart DS), so their presence in Mario Kart 8 shouldn't really affect the name of the future installments.

The Dry Bomber was a pretty bleh vehicle

The Dry Bomber was a pretty bleh vehicle

it was cool looking though

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

It looked like a cardboard box with a funnel sticking out.

Especially when you view it from the back

Which is what you're doing 99% of the time.

The Nintendo DS did have large limits on model quality, which can explain why Donkey Kong always showed his teeth in Mario Kart DS.

Well that's not really an excuse to make karts not look pleasing still. The Hurricane and the Streamliner are good examples of karts I'd like to drive in. I mostly take fault with the Dry Bomber's bleh, mostly plain beige texture which makes it look like it was made out of decaying cardboard.

a lot of other characters looked really ugly too

like bowser and wario

 

[Ray Trace]

Um, Wario always looks ugly :\

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

And the N64 Mario Tennis Mario, N64 Mario Party Mario, and Super Mario 64 DS Mario, and Mario Party DS Mario looked better Mario Kart DS Mario. I didn't figure one day, I'd be using "Mario" 10 times in one sentence. Go me.

I can't stand looking at that travesty above.

 

[Natalie J.]

How about it just stays "Mario Kart"?

entire thread summed up here

 

[Mechayoshi]

That raise further questions. Why are console and handheld games lumped together then?

I'm kidding.

How about this unpopular opinion: I think mkds looks fine.

 

[YoshiCookie]

honestly, the only name change i want is back to "Super Mario Kart"

it sounds better tbh
