Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Roster

How do we fix this shit roster, Sup Forums?

Bump

Remove the babies and the metal recolors

Add Funky and Diddy Kong, Kirby, Zelda, K. Rool, ROB, Pikachu and Nabbit

Remove non-mario characters like waifudog and mlpshits.

Make any alt take up no extra space (just like is done with the shyguy) (talking about Metal Mario etc, not Toadette). Add more one-off characters from obscure shit.

Add courses and items from Mario Kart arcade

>It's another rosterfagging thread

Baby Rosalina should be a Luma
Pink Gold Peach should be Nabbit
Next on the chopping block would be Baby Daisy but I don't know what you could replace her with for the weight class. I'd like to work E. Gadd in there but he'd be a little heavier.

I know it seems dumb to bitch about a roster when there's technically only seven or so characters with everything in each weight class just being a skin of the other. When you're playing with you pals your character is supposed to have this unique personality and the babies don't add anything different from one another. Even Tanooki Mario offers more. The amount of people who want to play as the babies does not demand five baby characters.

Maybe if Nintendo wasnt always a disappointment that wouldn't be a problem.

shut up and buy more amiibo you hater

Maybe make your own game with the characters you want you fucking asshole.

>Add Cranky Kong
>Add Mona from Wario Ware
>Get rid of Pink Gold Peach
>Make the Koopa Kids alternate costumes.

Add Diddy, Nabbit, Sprixie, E.Gadd, Birdo, ROB, Wiggler, Petey and another enemy like Hammer Bros or something

Back when I was a kid there was only eight options. And I was content with that.

Stop being such spoiled pussies and just play the game. You probably are fatties on scooters that power hop and still lose

pretty fuckin easy

Was it really necessary to have two metal variants?

>removes characters
>doesn't add any
>removing lakitu and baby characters for no good reason
>removing koopalings

best answer ITT

7 minutes in MS pain
If you're a Mariofag you should like this, if you're a casual or a Smashfag, you'll be happy with the real roster anyway

Don't go in the thread such a simple topic triggers you so much

That was easy.

>didn't remove the koopalings

why?

It's really good. No offensive changes either that can't be fixed with making a little more space.
>Smashfags will get mad at this

>E. Gadd
>robot Mario
>King Boo instead of a regular Boo
>Those faggots from 3D World
>Mona (Not from Mario)
>Diddy Kong (Not from Mario)
>Superstar Saga characters

0/10, see me after class.

>got rid of Waluigi
>Left ALL Koopalings

Scrap the metals and babies and costumed variants.

Add in Diddy, Kamek, Petey, Birdo, Honey Queen, Wiggler, Don-chan, Pac-Man and Captain Falcon

>Hating Koopalings
Hello underage.

>Removing Link
You should all go and kill yourselves

Replace Baby Daisy with the green sprixie from 3D world

>no good reason

lakitu is the referee, why should he be racing?
the babies are just roster bloat. duplicate characters that serve no purpose. same with the koopa kids. they are boring minor characters with nothing unique about them.

just because a character exists doesn't mean they have to be included in mario kart.

>dropped Waluigi

Forgot one.

I'm not bothered.

They're all Mario characters.
>Diddy Kong
If I had it my way we'd still have Donkey Kong Jr instead of DK III and Diddy, but it's too late for that and a lot of Mario fans like DK III and Diddy. It's not all about me.

...

>Liking a character that wasn't even created by Nintendo to fill a slot in a fucking tennis game
Waluigi will always be shit.

Remove Donkey Kong until they fix his voice.

You forgot to cover Lakitu with Koopa Troopa

Fuck you, Metal Mario is my guy

Though it you put Ludwig or other characters in Metal's weight class, I'll change

Wario wasn't made by Nintendo either and is despised by Miyamoto, yet is still one of the most beloved Mario characters of all time.
Your point?

Yes, because I'm old enough to have played SMB3 and World on release. Everybody loved the Koopalings. The only people who don't like Koopalings are people who were born in the 90s.

>all these people just removing characters without adding any
Guess what? If you don't like some of the characters, you don't need to use them.

Literally the shittiest, needlessly bloated roster I've ever seen.

>they brought back dry bones
you don't it's finally perfect

>Wario wasn't made by Nintendo either
Wario was designed by Hiroji Kiyotake, the same man that designed Samus Aran. Six Golden Coins was developed by Nintendo R&D1.

Your claim that Wario wasn't made by Nintendo is categorically false.

That's a big list.

I can make it even more autistic for you if you'd like.
Take out
>Goomba
>Lakitu
And put it these

just because you liked them as a kid doesn't make them not re-skins of each other
Im more upset about Waluigi, why?

So you thing we should get rid of DKC style characters then

Nah fuck you man Metal Mario is my main.

What do you gain from removing characters?

Yeah, the fact that they have totally different sizes, shapes, colors, weights, voices, and animations does. If only a couple of those qualities were different between each other I might agree, but as it is they're fine.

DKC is not part of the Mario series. Six Golden Coins is. Wario Land 1 is since it's called Super Mario Land 3. Captain Syrup is allowed.

Serious question , do different characters do different things? Or is it completely cosmetic?
This is coming from someone who has the Wii U version but rarely played it.

Until they fix the voices.

Nobody likes Scooby Kong

>Wart
>Mouser
>Tatanga
A+, user.

>being triggered by Superstar Saga characters
Looks like we got a tasteless, autistic faggot here.

>doesn't make them not re-skins of each other
But they all fit into different driver classes. By that argument, every character is just a reskin of another character because they all sit in a cart and drive it. Their individual designs are actually unique, it's just that they're all the same species, so they share key design elements.

getting one over on characterIdontlike-fags

You don't have to see them when you're racing anymore. They're still everywhere even if you're not choosing them.

We agree then

>K. Rool

Stop trying to push that garbage.

>But they all fit into different driver classes
same argument could be made for metal characters

He's probably getting confused with their appearance in Smash Bros.

Superstar Saga is a side game. Characters from the main Mario series should take precedence over side game characters.

Characters have different weight classes that influence their stats such as some characters having lower acceleration but higher top speed and other variations of those traits.

They clearly do, and they should, but side games shouldn't be completely ignored like they are now. They're all part of the greater Mario series. A few popular main characters from a popular Mario game is probably a better choice than scraping the barrel with Goomba or Paratroopa, even if they're from a spin-off.

Baby Daisy & Rosa, Cat Mario & Peach, and the Metal clones do not need to exist.

Just remove babies add Koopa troopa,Petey, Diddy,Birdo and K.Rool or Cranky

>adding Donkey Kong Country characters

This isn't Nintendo Kart, I'm pissed they added villager and Link already. K Rool and Cranky aren't Mario characters

Technically Baby Peach is from the Mario & Luigi series already.
>but Yoshi's Island DS
She still debuted in an RPG. Yoshi's Island DS is also a side-game anyway.

>Keeping baby Mario after removing every other baby
>Nabit

Why the hate for babies? The toddlers princesses are cute

I would rather the Baby Mario Bros be one character. I like Yoshi's Island.
I don't care about Nabbit but other people seem to. I would rather have Croco but we know that's not happening.

They clearly don't, as can be seen from the inclusion of babies, Waluigi, Pink Gold Peach, and Daisy. Those are the big offenders.

Characters like Pauline, Wart, and other stock Mario enemies deserve to be in Mario Kart long before any of those characters.

I wasn't going to mention Yoshi's Island DS or any Yoshi game.

Add more tracks instead of shitty characters.

Why can't there be more than one lakitu? Lakitu is basically just an enemy like koopa or goomba.

>duplicate characters
The babies have unique stats, models, voice lines.
>same with koopa kids
Koopa kids look unique and have some personality to them. Hows that not unique?

>doesn't have to be included
But they don't have to be excluded either.

Scratch Daisy, I temporarily forgot about Super Mario Land.

I mean, they added Funky Kong to one of the kart games and had him and tiny kong + k. rool and his koopalings in an official licensed Mario baseball game so it's possible. I'm fine with it as long as there isn't too many dkc characters.

They also added ROB and Queenbee, the series has had weird one offs. Just because they were in one game doesn't mean they should be mainstays.

>RPG characters
>WarioWare characters
>DK characters
>Irrelevant, dead characters like Wart
And I'll take my skeleton dragon over K. Rool anyday. Hate me all you want.

So, bikes, how do I stop sucking at them
I know the issue is that I try to drive them like karts

ITT: People so autistic they're upset when they see characters they don't like.

They do have a very obvious precedent, let's look at that roster.
>Mario
>Luigi
>Peach
>Daisy
>Rosalina
>Yoshi
>Toad
>Koopa
>Shy Guy
>Kamek
>Baby Mario
>Sprixie
>Captain Syrup
>Birdo
>Mouser
>Tatanga
>Wario
>Bowser
>Dry Bones
>Bowser Jr
>Lemmy
>Larry
>Wendy
>Ludwig
>Iggy
>Roy
>Morton
>Nabbit
>Wart
29 characters from main or semi-main Mario

>E Gadd
>King Boo
2 characters from Luigi's Mansion (Mario series spin-off)

>Mona
1 character from WarioWare (Mario series spin-off)

>Robo Mario
>Toadette
>Waluigi
3 characters from Mario spin-off games.

>Donkey Kong
>King K. Rool
>Diddy Kong
3 characters from Donkey Kong Country (Mario series spin-off)

>Price Peasey
>Cackletta
>Fawful
3 characters from Superstar Saga (Mario series spin-off)

Even putting all the spin-off characters together, that's not even half of the amount of normal Mario characters on the roster. 3 or less characters from a given spin-off series is perfectly acceptable.

And I was talking about the roster you were replying to, not the official one.

>all these baby characters
>no baby yoshi who has been in the series since Super

That shit never made sense to me, he'd be the one baby character I'd want.

I was talking about the official roster. We're arguing different things here.

I want cruft removed from the official roster and replaced with more worthwhile characters from the main Mario series.

It's pretty obvious that Baby and Metal Mario/Peach are apart from their regular counterparts due to weight class, but what even about Raccoon Mario and Cat Peach? What actually necessitates they be their own dedicated characters instead of just alts like Yoshi, Shyguy and the Inklings get?

replace baby mario and lugi with baby Yoshi and Isabelle.
Only girls or feminine types are picking baby characters anyway.

This is some patrician taste, user

Scrap
>All babies but baby mario
>All metals

Add
>Diddy Kong
>Kamek
>Goomba
>E. Gadd
>Birdo
>Nabbit
>Petey Pirrahna

More drys and metals

Forget your stupid roster autism for once. How the flipping frick do we fix bikes?
>wii
>bikes are fun but obviously vastly superior to karts
>8
>bikes are now just worse karts

>has all characters
>shit rooster
ok Sup Forums, time for your daily enema

but desu it needs DK Jr, Magikoopa, ROB and petey piranha, honey bee queen, wriggler and then every mario kart character is in

except diddy and funky kong, but they're rareware shits

forgot birdo

To the people who want metals scrapped, do you want the weight-class gone or just the characters?

I played it a bunch on Wii U, will it be worth rebuying it?

The only way I'll pay a cent for MK8 DX is if they release new tracks, which really should have been in the game to begin with, they're probably saving it for E3

I thought they took bikes out of 8?!
did I miss something?

this

also remove koopalings and add samus

Patina Yoshi
Golden Wario
Copper Waluigi
Silver King Boo
Platinum Luigi

>I thought they took bikes out of 8?!
They are defiantly in the game
they're just shit

cant tell if this is a roster or a matching game gone wrong

>game already has 50% more tracks than any other MK game
>really should have more

I'm pretty sure MK8D will get some DLC tracks at one point.
>I thought they took bikes out of 8?!
Nah, they're back in 8.

My last MK was 64, so I'm hyped as fuck for 48 tracks holy shit. Also different karts and even parts? Damn son. Too bad online is a paid service now. Not gonna pay to play online
