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?

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

Toad. For 30 years, it's never been anything but Toad. He's my little mushroom man!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I’m also a Toad or nothing! Double Dash Toadette/Toad combo or nothing!

Luigi because everybody underestimates him...until they get destroyed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The little brother method never fails! Plus we love a good medium weight class character

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Jokes on you because I'm actually an older brother. Always empathized with Luigi though. Major underdog vibes.

Yoshi all day every day. I dig the sound design of this character

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Usually I pick Yoshi, but I have no idea if that's a good pick according to the meta.

Luigi because I can relate to his anxiety

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Incredibly relatable

Dry Bones because I'm a spooky scary skeleton

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Rosalina cause she's cute

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years 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.

Shyguy is bestguy

Been a Rosalina user fairly consistently since Mario Kart Wii

My go-to is toad...he's just so light, makes drifting and handling so much easier.

I like picking bowser, just because I find barging around the course as king Koopa pretty fun

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

One of the best joys in Mario Kart is feeling large and in charge lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Toad always!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Koopa, either the normal or the skeleton version. Isn't his name dry bones or something like that? Anyway, those are the only two I'll ever play

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Baby Peach. IDK why but I always have.

Side opinion: Mario Kart Wii is the best MK game created. Change my mind.

Waluigi! I’m a gonna win!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yoshi. If Yoshi is taken, then Peach.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Can't go wrong with Yoshi

Haha that.. Is... beautiful! 😁

Usually Luigi on MKDS (I don't quite know why), but in MK8 I use my own Mii - because it's me!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Shy Guy's also gotta be pretty far up the list in terms of voice lines
