I’ve been racing as Wario ever since MK64. I love being a powerhouse on the racetrack! In the original SNES Mario Kart, since I don’t have Wario, Bowser is my backup. It’s good to be big
Who do you pick in Mario Kart when it’s time to get down to business and dominate the track?

Waluigi number one!

Toad. For 30 years, it’s never been anything but Toad. He’s my little mushroom man!
- friendbot ( @friendbot@beehaw.org ) 4•11 months ago
I’m also a Toad or nothing! Double Dash Toadette/Toad combo or nothing!

Baby Peach. I love to see my friends loosing to her. They gifted me a Princess Peach themed GameCube controller for my birthday.

I love when associations happen like this. I always sent the screaming turtwig meme to my coworkers when things got rough at work. So for my birthday they got me a turtwig figurine
I hope they understand the power they gave you with that controller lol

Luigi because everybody underestimates him…until they get destroyed.

The little brother method never fails! Plus we love a good medium weight class character
- mate_classic ( @mate_classic@feddit.de ) English2•11 months ago
Jokes on you because I’m actually an older brother. Always empathized with Luigi though. Major underdog vibes.

Rosalina cause she’s cute

Usually I pick Yoshi, but I have no idea if that’s a good pick according to the meta.
- Vegasimov ( @Vegasimov@beehaw.org ) English6•11 months ago
Dry Bones because I’m a spooky scary skeleton
- spoonful ( @spoonful@beehaw.org ) English6•11 months ago
Yoshi all day every day. I dig the sound design of this character
- Towerism ( @Towerism@beehaw.org ) English5•11 months ago
It used to be Yoshi and Toad because I like light characters. Their acceleration allows them to recover more quickly from hazards. Which in mind makes them more consistent for me.
Ever since baby characters were playable, I’ve almost always picked baby Luigi.
- Krusty ( @Krusty@feddit.it ) English5•11 months ago
Mario Tanooki
- frank ( @frank@beehaw.org ) English4•11 months ago
Tanooki Mario or Birdo for the creepiness factor.
- Jdreben ( @Jdreben@beehaw.org ) English3•11 months ago
Tanooki Mario has great stats. Also my choice
- Krusty ( @Krusty@feddit.it ) English2•11 months ago
Do you know where I can find some cool sites about MK8 stats?
- Jdreben ( @Jdreben@beehaw.org ) English3•11 months ago
Not off the top of my head. I’ll go google around though! I’m sure that exists…
Edit: maybe this? https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_8_Deluxe_in-game_statistics

Very cool, thanks!

Luigi because I can relate to his anxiety
Incredibly relatable
- RosemarySolomon ( @RosemarySolomon@beehaw.org ) English5•11 months ago
My son and I play Mario kart 8, so it’s up to him usually 🤷 but I tend to be Luigi 9 times out of 10, he loves Luigi. Otherwise backup is Mario.
I do also like Koopa Troopa…
- cavemeat ( @cavemeat@beehaw.org ) English4•11 months ago
My go-to is toad…he’s just so light, makes drifting and handling so much easier.
- StrahdVonZarovich ( @StrahdVonZarovich@beehaw.org ) English4•11 months ago
Although he’s not in this list, Shy Guy. I played a lot of the DS Mario Karts, and he was usually my go to. Not really sure why, I guess I just liked his design.
- offthecrossbar ( @offthecrossbar@beehaw.org ) English3•11 months ago
Shy Guy’s also gotta be pretty far up the list in terms of voice lines
- Volfkha ( @Volfkha@sopuli.xyz ) English4•11 months ago
Yoshi… he’s so cute 🥰
