16:48 idk abt this, racing as the BLUE SHELL incarnate is much more interesting than a penguin with a crown. i mean i like both, but the koopa general is just HIM
You know that Kamek is a guy right? Not that it matters much in modern Mario lore, mattered more in the Yoshi’s Island series, where he was seen as Bowser’s adopted father, and there was more of a paternal rather than maternal bond
Koopa General from the Mario Movie will be in this game. No way they turn the Blue Shell into a character only to not put him in Mario Kart. Oh, and Baby Pauline is coming.
I’m gonna be honest, I personally never see them making Metal Mario or Pink Gold Peach skins rather than their own characters bc regardless if we don’t care about their weight classes I’m sure the devs do, personally their inclusion as extra characters doesn’t bother me too much bc from a development perspective including them is incredibly easy.
I kinda miss unlockables. Having everything unlocked at the start is kinda lame. Mario kart Wii has the best unlocks in my opinion. It literally forces you to explore the entire game to unlock everyone, and made seeing certain characters exciting
Characters not mentioned that I would love to get added would be: Spike (not movie one but from SMB3 and onwards), Ninji (from SMB2 who became playable in Mario Golf SS & SMP Jamboree), Cappy (from Odyssey), Prince Florian (from SMB Wonder), Toadsworth (from Sunshine and onwards), Fawful (from Mario & Luigi series), Boom Boom (from SMB3 and onwards), Snifit (from SMB2, maybe too much alike Shy Guy but appeared in the Mario Movie), Mouser (boss from SMB2), Bandit (from SMW2 and onwards)
I’m liking the idea that E. Gadd, Toadsworth and Cranky Kong could be playable in the game. There are some from tour like Nabbit and King Bob-Omb that could appear, and new ones like Boom Boom and Spike would be good. Paratroopa deserves a comeback too. If it’s gonna be 24 racers, they’re gonna need a massive roster.
Cranky, Boom Boom and Spike are awesome picks, some of my personal favourites (Spike being my number 1 wish) but Toadsworth is probably not happening. Nintendo has been cutting all the original toads down to just the species, so more unique toads just don't exist outside of Toadette. At this point I think Toadsworth might just be a retired character which really bums me out.
I know the odds are low, but I really hope Nintendo gives obscure and spin off characters a chance For me, some Wario characters would be cool, like my personal favorite, Captain syrup. Some other spin off characters of those from the DK, Yoshi, Luigi and peach Games would also be cool
@@IceStorm5972 I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this. Pokemon could be a potential collab. Even if they only do Pikachu with its ORAS outfits, I would be very happy
If we do get skins again that each skin should act like a in terms of different players being able to choose different skins as well as having the name of the character change if it’s a skin like Bowser and Dry Bowser for instance. As well as maybe being allowed to have different properties/stats like Mario and Metal Mario. As well as different kart icons if they would have them.
The Donkey Kong of today is Donkey Kong Jr. though, I interpreted the pixel design as a more “throwback”, since there is no modern Donkey Kong Jr., Diddy Kong pretty much replaced him, instead of making a new Donkey Kong Jr., they made Diddy Kong, and Jr. became the modern day Donkey Kong
modern donkey kong is actually donkey kong III since it was mentioned a while back before the movie even was thought of that donkey kong jr is the father of donkey kong III and donkey kong jr’s father is cranky kong aka the original donkey from the arcade game
E gad is my #1 most wanted character. Also wouldn't mind seeing karts themed around the poltergust vacuum thing from luigis mansion and the water pack thing from super mario sunshine Also I hate guest characters almost 100% of the time but as Zelda and mario have such a close relationship I really don't mind that they have Link in the game, I'd actually like to see a little more Zelda content like Ganondorf or Midna, or even the little chibi link from links awakening and im super surprised we've not had sonic seeing as how sonic has a rival franchise and mario and sonic have multiple crossover titles together
My running thoughts as I watch the video: 1) regarding DK Jr. I thought the lore behind him is that DK Jr. is current day DK and DK from arcade is Cranky Kong so maybe DK Jr. could be a palette swap/skin for DK. 2) R.O.B. would be such a cool odd-ball pick especially with the opening track concept being a Mario Bros. theme which is of the same era as R.O.B.; Mario spin-off games love the odd-ball picks that get people talking and I think R.O.B. would be such a cool pick. I agree that it's unlikely for him to return but would definitely welcome the inclusion. 3) MKWii has been dubbed the Super Smash Bros Melee of Mario Kart and in that same vein, I feel like Funky Kong is in a congruent spot to Captain Falcon or Fox where they're more smash bros characters than their own series at this point and Funky Kong feels similar to the Mario Kart series. 4) I do kinda agree with Dry Bowser being a skin and I can see people wondering why Dry Bowser would be a skin and not Dry Bones but I think the main difference is Koopa Troopa and Dry Bones kinda represent a species moreso than an individual character like Bowser/Dry Bowser 5) I personally love Wiggler and I can see him being in the game if King Boo and Petey Piranha are as they're like the resident big boy enemies. Honey Queen I think would also only return as an odd-ball pick unless another galaxy game or galaxy era resurgence happens. Metal Mario I could see going either way as a skin or separate character. I also wonder if the skins would be kinda like in the Mario Baseball series where its just a slight points shift so maybe they would just have the Metal Mario skin have a slight added weight bonus in exchange for slightly lower acceleration or something. 6) I think the non-Mario Nintendo characters should probably just sit the bench until post-launch as it would prevent it from feeling like it's turning into a Smash Kart or whatever. However it might also feel not-so-great for the DLC characters of this game to be characters that were included in the base 8-Deluxe roster so idk they might just not be included at all. 7) I think all the Tour characters would fit right in. Hammer Bro, Monty Mole, Dixie Kong, Kamek/Magikoopa all have precedent in Mario spin-off titles already so I'm honestly surprised the first three haven't been included in a mainline MK title already. King Bob-Omb gives similar vibes to King Boo and Petey so I could see him fitting right in. Nabbit has gotten some love recently so I could also see him for sure. As much as I think Poochy is adorable I also agree that he's not as obvious of a pick as the other ones mentioned. 8) Overall I like your picks for the new characters, I think the Shiverian is quite a creative one I really didn't think of that but it would be a really cool contemporary pick. I unfortunately still haven't watched the Mario Movie but either King Penguin or Koopa General would be really cool. I think another newcomer that is practically confirmed is Ninji cause they been putting that mf in everything which would be cool.

@@DDKoD well sure but rob is one of those characters that’s like barely a character outside of mario kart/smash bros. just feels different from link and villager and inkling
12:50 I wouldn’t mind keeping the specific items for certain characters even if that means the skins too. Maybe not give the same items like coin boxes to the regular Mario skins but yk gold variants definitely. Maybe like an unlockable. So many ideas. It would be insane for competitive play. And YES PLEASE WE NEED GOOMBA LOVE. I’D LOVE THAT. One more thing… we NEEEED cappy as a character. I’m gonna flip if we don’t see him.
I really want Paratroopa to be playable in this game either as an individual character or an alt of Koopa Troopa (a lot of you will want the latter which is fine). Paratroopa’s also playable in quite a few of the Mario sports titles, sometimes even WITHOUT Koopa Troopa, and I just really miss playing as him in Double Dash.
I must say, Luma was a leaked character on Tour that never saw the light. And we saw Luma on Will with Rosalina as a pair but if this game is around Mario Wonder, it makes sense for a character like Luma because has that kind of magical. Plus Popplin or Florian have high chances. And Luma could have a lot of color as skins. Just saying
yall copied me… cant believe you! no but seriously, its interesting to see other takes on what the character roster could look like for this game, as no two rosters will ever look the same!
Does Nintendo even have the full rights to characters original to the movie? And even then, they would need to get a new voice actor for the Penguin King since most Nintendo games are non-union these days.
I would really like to see Captain Syrup added to Mario Kart! I think she is a super underrated character and overlooked by Nintendo. She was the main antagonist in the Wario Land games and she would honestly be the perfect anti-Peach/female villain which the Mario universe seems to be lacking. I really hope she gets the Pauline treatment and makes a return after a long hiatus.
Why would anyone have a problem with Dry Bowser being an alternate skin for Bowser? Unless you mean a lazy skin that only changes the colors and textures like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it only makes sense.
I'm not even sure if these characters exist in Mario canon, but I would love to see baby Wario & baby Waluigi. Waluigi especially needs some more love.
I’m not against the idea of dry bowser being a skin but I don’t think it would make sense to have him be a skin but have dry bones be a separate character from koopa, considering that their in the same boat.
My prediction character's Another metal character My idea was Metal/Silver Luigi since he's technically a actual Character Also another baby character my idea where Baby Wario and DK (Baby Waluigi if Nintendo doesnt like the idea of Baby dk returning) New comers Dr.Mario (a character i would like to see be added) Captain Falcon (his franchise has had many cameo's it would be wired he wasn't a playable character) Dixle Kong (just want to see her in since it's wired she never made it in)
When you think about it, we’ve always gotten new baby characters for the mainline Mario Kart TV console games. I would definitely take Baby Wario and Baby DK over Baby Pauline. Maybe even add Baby Bowser to see how they’d differentiate him from Bowser Jr.
I still Link and Isabelle in the game since they are my characters I use but honestly. I like to see even more of nintendos franchises represented, give me Zelda, let Captain Falcon race again, in something at least and why not Fox and Falco perhaps!
i disagree with the non mario characters, i think since they’re all from nintendo games they can just add them in, heck i even think they could add more characters like pikachu or kirby. it’s different from adding pacman or sonic because those are different companies
I think that characters who has already been their own character with its own character slot shouldnt become skins, except for cat peach and tanooki mario cuz their literally just Mario and Peach in costume
But then if you’re using that logic, people can say “ Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach are just Mario and Peach with a Metal Power up” and “ Dry Bowser is just Bowser without skin”. Either you go all out or you don’t. Some might say some alternate versions of characters shouldn’t get special treatment over others, but honestly it would be cool either way. At least they would be in the game.
I would like Bowser's Brother or Dark Star Bowser as a skin. I could see them adding Baby Bowser, Baby Donkey Kong and Baby Wario from Yoshi's Island series because Nintendo seems to like adding baby characters.
The reason DK Jr. was in Super Mario Kart instead of an adult DK is that Jr.'s tank top made sprites from every angle easier to delineate. Normal DK at this point didn't have a tie and even if he did, with Super's flat color pallet his sprites would just look like a big brown blob. For a base roster of exactly 50, I'd like to see 5 characters for each of the 10 weight categories. 1: Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Luma, Cappy, Sprixie 2: Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Dry Bones, Baby Rosalina, Lemmy 3: Toad, Koopa, Toadette, Shy Guy, Ninji 4: Peach, Lakitu, Larry, Wendy, Dixie Kong 5: Yoshi, Daisy, Birdo, Diddy Kong, Iggy 6: Mario, Luigi, Bowser Jr., Kamek, Ludwig 7: Waluigi, King Boo, Pauline, Nabbit, Hammer Bro. 8: Rosalina, Wiggler, Boom Boom, Spike, * 9: Wario, Funky Kong, Roy, Morton, Pianta 10: Bowser, Donkey Kong, Petey Piranha, Dry Bowser, King Bob-Omb * Miis take up the last slot and can be size 3, 6, or 8
I'm gonna predict that we get 50 characters in total : - Mario - Luigi - Peach - Daisy - Bowser - Bowser Jr - Wario - Waluigi - Rosalina - Pauline - Koopa Troopa - Dry Bones - Dry Bowser - Donkey Kong - Diddy Kong - Funky Kong - Dixie Kong - DK Jr - Cranky Kong - King K Rool - Wiggler - Kamek - Yoshi - Birdo - Toad - Toadette - Iggy - Larry - Lemmy - Ludwig - Morton - Roy - Wendy - Baby Mario - Baby Luigi - Baby Peach - Baby Daisy - Baby Rosalina - King Boo - Shy Guy - Petey Piranha - Lakitu - Nabbit - King Bob-Omb - Poochie - Honey Queen - Cappy - E Gadd - Rob - Mii
I personally just want Peachette to have another appearance. I really don’t get her hate. Yeah she took a valuable spot from someone else in 8DX BCP, but she really doesn't deserve the hate.
Yes, she does deserve the hate. She is a horrid abomination that should have never appeared in the first place. Toadette is a perfectly fine easy mode without the need of the stupid pointless crown. If they wanted Peach Playable so badly without changing the story, WHY NOT USE DAISY???
I’ll tell you why she’s hated. It’s literally peach with a slightly different crown and dress. I know, shes technically toadette but that doesn’t matter in Mario kart. I mean, at least tanooki Mario and cat peach had completely different outfits. She took a valuable spot that could have been used for my boy Nabbit.
@@Kermit_NuimosShe took a spot no one thought existed, we thought we would only get 2 characters in wave 6 but got 4 we got what we wanted in Diddy Kong, Funky Kong and Pauline so why do we complain about a bonus
Absolutely loved your roster picks. I've made a 96 character roster, but I think the max they'd go for would maybe be say... 60. But I think Smash Bros had around 80 so one can dream, right?
6:48 Says he’s thinking of a roster he thinks Nintendo would actually do for 50 characters yet when talking about new characters he thinks a character from the Mario Movie is more plausible than Ninji despite the how much love Nintendo has been showing and how much fans seem to like him. Just like Birdo and Shy Guy he first in Super Mario Bros 2 or actually Doki Doki Panic because Nintendo thought the actual game Super. Mario Bros: The Lost Levels was too hard for the US so they just grabbed an old game and reskinned the 4 playable characters. Despite that Birdo and Shy Guy are Mario characters now, after that he appears in Super Mario World, a toy version of him in Mario VS Donkey Kong and a cameo in Mario Party advance. He has appeared in every Paper Mario since Sticker Star and that includes Mario and Luigi Paper Jam. He appeared in Mario and Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey and then shocked everyone when he was added to Mario Golf: Super Rush. He had a whole mode Super Mario Maker 2 called Ninji Speedruns, had a whole level themed around him in Mario Wonder, a secret one no less, and he’s in Super Mario Party Jamboree! Just like Pauline, they made him relevant again and now he’s everywhere. I mean he wasn’t in Mario Strikers Battle League but he was free DLC in Mario Golf Super Rush, they may have been planning to include him but considering how poorly received it was, if they were planning on it they probably scrapped it. Sorry if this is long.
Personally while I think the miis/mates/whatever will return I don’t persay include them with the rest of the roster and keep them separate. Regarding Odyssey, I personally think Glydon would be the best fit
If this game does bring back second party characters,id love to see some Wario Ware get some representation by having Ashley and Mona in the game and the Squid Sisters from Splatoon as separate racers
I’d swap DKJr for Cranky Kong mostly cause Diddy serves the same purpose as DKJr and I’m more surprised that you didn’t mention Foreman Spike, especially after not only the movie but also Nintendo renaming his Japanese name to just be Spike
K rool would be cool for more dk representation i think dk, diddy, dixie, funky and krool are enought dk representation since i dont think anyone wants to play as cranky 😂
I’m gonna be honest I will be absolutely love an expanded roster …but I really wanna play as Toadsworth 😭🙏
Best character ever

You know that Kamek is a guy right? Not that it matters much in modern Mario lore, mattered more in the Yoshi’s Island series, where he was seen as Bowser’s adopted father, and there was more of a paternal rather than maternal bond
I had to double check if I heard them right
Yeah and in Mario Galaxy you face the female version. kamek is a guy so #protestforkamek 😂😂😂
Also paper Mario had KAMMY koopa, the female version
Kamek is male, and there are several in game sources that back it up. There have been female examples of Magikoopas but they are not Kamek.
Yeah he called Kamek "she" in a previous video too
*Keeps Dry Bones*
*Cuts Dry Bowser*
makes perfect sense
he didn't cut him, just turned him into a skin for bowser
Yes, it does
My feelings exactly
Koopa General from the Mario Movie will be in this game. No way they turn the Blue Shell into a character only to not put him in Mario Kart. Oh, and Baby Pauline is coming.
NO MORE BABY CHARACTERS

@Murray_Mcflurry1 Same lmao
Kamek is male. SwitchStop might’ve just gotten confused with some of the female magikoopas from other games.
I hope they make it as difficult to unlock them as they were in older Mariokarts, such as Mariokart Wii. Made it way more rewarding
If they don’t bring back Paratroopa I’m gonna flip

Paratroopa mains here!
Dang. So, was double dash the last game you all played?
@@malimaui2802Yes. 🗿
He kinda deserves it. I’ll be happy if he’s just an alt though.

Some are saying he is confirmed because in the clip of the races on that stretch of highway, you could see a grayish character in the back.

If the game features beloved DK characters such as Dixie Kong and King K. Rool, I would also be thrilled to see Cranky Kong included in the roster.
I know the odds are low, but I really hope Nintendo gives obscure and spin off characters a chance
For me, some Wario characters would be cool, like my personal favorite, Captain syrup.
Some other spin off characters of those from the DK, Yoshi, Luigi and peach Games would also be cool

I'm obsessed with these videos.

Love the videos,keep up the great work! 🎉
E gad is my #1 most wanted character. Also wouldn't mind seeing karts themed around the poltergust vacuum thing from luigis mansion and the water pack thing from super mario sunshine

I must say, Luma was a leaked character on Tour that never saw the light. And we saw Luma on Will with Rosalina as a pair but if this game is around Mario Wonder, it makes sense for a character like Luma because has that kind of magical. Plus Popplin or Florian have high chances. And Luma could have a lot of color as skins. Just saying
Every character from the series returns!
Ultimate style!
Everyone is Here!
yall copied me… cant believe you! no but seriously, its interesting to see other takes on what the character roster could look like for this game, as no two rosters will ever look the same!
Besides 64 and super circuit...
Does Nintendo even have the full rights to characters original to the movie? And even then, they would need to get a new voice actor for the Penguin King since most Nintendo games are non-union these days.
Guest character list:
Kirby
Captain Falcon
Fox McCloud
Sonic the Hedgehog
Princess Zelda (BotW)
Honestly, im not someone who switches my chracater a lot so who gets added isnt a big deal to me, but its always nice to see new ones added still
I would really like to see Captain Syrup added to Mario Kart!
I think she is a super underrated character and overlooked by Nintendo. She was the main antagonist in the Wario Land games and she would honestly be the perfect anti-Peach/female villain which the Mario universe seems to be lacking. I really hope she gets the Pauline treatment and makes a return after a long hiatus.
I think Cappy would be a great pick, as he would be a lightweight that wouldn't be yet another baby character
Prince Florian could be a pick also
Why would anyone have a problem with Dry Bowser being an alternate skin for Bowser? Unless you mean a lazy skin that only changes the colors and textures like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it only makes sense.
I'm not even sure if these characters exist in Mario canon, but I would love to see baby Wario & baby Waluigi. Waluigi especially needs some more love.
I’m not against the idea of dry bowser being a skin but I don’t think it would make sense to have him be a skin but have dry bones be a separate character from koopa, considering that their in the same boat.
Do you think the new Mario Kart Game is gonna do what Super Smash Bros Ultimate did and add EVERY single character from EVERY Mario Kart game?
My prediction character's
Another metal character
My idea was Metal/Silver Luigi since he's technically a actual Character
Also another baby character my idea where Baby Wario and DK (Baby Waluigi if Nintendo doesnt like the idea of Baby dk returning)
New comers
Dr.Mario (a character i would like to see be added)
Captain Falcon (his franchise has had many cameo's it would be wired he wasn't a playable character)
Dixle Kong (just want to see her in since it's wired she never made it in)
When you think about it, we’ve always gotten new baby characters for the mainline Mario Kart TV console games. I would definitely take Baby Wario and Baby DK over Baby Pauline. Maybe even add Baby Bowser to see how they’d differentiate him from Bowser Jr.
16:40
It would be cool if he should up in the game and had his big vehicle from the movie.
Dry Bowser should 100% be a skin, but no one had the courage to say
I think the Luigi's Mansion version of King Boo should be added as a skin for King Boo. Does anyone agree with me?
I still Link and Isabelle in the game since they are my characters I use but honestly. I like to see even more of nintendos franchises represented, give me Zelda, let Captain Falcon race again, in something at least and why not Fox and Falco perhaps!
i disagree with the non mario characters, i think since they’re all from nintendo games they can just add them in, heck i even think they could add more characters like pikachu or kirby. it’s different from adding pacman or sonic because those are different companies
I think that characters who has already been their own character with its own character slot shouldnt become skins, except for cat peach and tanooki mario cuz their literally just Mario and Peach in costume
But then if you’re using that logic, people can say “ Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach are just Mario and Peach with a Metal Power up” and “ Dry Bowser is just Bowser without skin”.
Either you go all out or you don’t. Some might say some alternate versions of characters shouldn’t get special treatment over others, but honestly it would be cool either way. At least they would be in the game.
I hope they have unique methods to unlock some characters , similar to the Wii .
I would like Bowser's Brother or Dark Star Bowser as a skin. I could see them adding Baby Bowser, Baby Donkey Kong and Baby Wario from Yoshi's Island series because Nintendo seems to like adding baby characters.
You forgot Poplin and Prince Florian.
The reason DK Jr. was in Super Mario Kart instead of an adult DK is that Jr.'s tank top made sprites from every angle easier to delineate. Normal DK at this point didn't have a tie and even if he did, with Super's flat color pallet his sprites would just look like a big brown blob.
For a base roster of exactly 50, I'd like to see 5 characters for each of the 10 weight categories.
1: Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Luma, Cappy, Sprixie
2: Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Dry Bones, Baby Rosalina, Lemmy
3: Toad, Koopa, Toadette, Shy Guy, Ninji
4: Peach, Lakitu, Larry, Wendy, Dixie Kong
5: Yoshi, Daisy, Birdo, Diddy Kong, Iggy
6: Mario, Luigi, Bowser Jr., Kamek, Ludwig
7: Waluigi, King Boo, Pauline, Nabbit, Hammer Bro.
8: Rosalina, Wiggler, Boom Boom, Spike, *
9: Wario, Funky Kong, Roy, Morton, Pianta
10: Bowser, Donkey Kong, Petey Piranha, Dry Bowser, King Bob-Omb
* Miis take up the last slot and can be size 3, 6, or 8
I'm gonna predict that we get 50 characters in total :
- Mario
- Luigi
- Peach
- Daisy
- Bowser
- Bowser Jr
- Wario
- Waluigi
- Rosalina
- Pauline
- Koopa Troopa
- Dry Bones
- Dry Bowser
- Donkey Kong
- Diddy Kong
- Funky Kong
- Dixie Kong
- DK Jr
- Cranky Kong
- King K Rool
- Wiggler
- Kamek
- Yoshi
- Birdo
- Toad
- Toadette
- Iggy
- Larry
- Lemmy
- Ludwig
- Morton
- Roy
- Wendy
- Baby Mario
- Baby Luigi
- Baby Peach
- Baby Daisy
- Baby Rosalina
- King Boo
- Shy Guy
- Petey Piranha
- Lakitu
- Nabbit
- King Bob-Omb
- Poochie
- Honey Queen
- Cappy
- E Gadd
- Rob
- Mii
they should put if you change the skin depending on the character, it changes the spec
I personally just want Peachette to have another appearance. I really don’t get her hate. Yeah she took a valuable spot from someone else in 8DX BCP, but she really doesn't deserve the hate.
Yes, she does deserve the hate. She is a horrid abomination that should have never appeared in the first place. Toadette is a perfectly fine easy mode without the need of the stupid pointless crown. If they wanted Peach Playable so badly without changing the story, WHY NOT USE DAISY???
I’ll tell you why she’s hated. It’s literally peach with a slightly different crown and dress. I know, shes technically toadette but that doesn’t matter in Mario kart. I mean, at least tanooki Mario and cat peach had completely different outfits. She took a valuable spot that could have been used for my boy Nabbit.
@@Kermit_NuimosShe took a spot no one thought existed, we thought we would only get 2 characters in wave 6 but got 4 we got what we wanted in Diddy Kong, Funky Kong and Pauline so why do we complain about a bonus
I think Link, Villager, Isabel, and Inkling are more likely than some Tour baddies.
Professor E Gadd would be nice but you know damn well, they're adding Elephant Mario.
My wishes are for TINY KONG 💚. I want her in the new MK
I would love Honey Queen back and as a newcomer, Luma would be great!
K. Rool would be a really interesting addition ❤
I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE❤ your channel! I am a recent subscriber but I'm just binge watching your content rn😂. Keep it up💯!
They should add Indiana Jones and make his car a Boulder
Absolutely loved your roster picks. I've made a 96 character roster, but I think the max they'd go for would maybe be say... 60. But I think Smash Bros had around 80 so one can dream, right?
I'm excited for a possible 50 characters but really want blooper in game
My top five new characters:
Cranky Kong
King K. Rool
E. Gadd
Pianta
Cappy
We need paper mario, lanky Kong, King Bob-omb and charging chuck
6:48 Says he’s thinking of a roster he thinks Nintendo would actually do for 50 characters yet when talking about new characters he thinks a character from the Mario Movie is more plausible than Ninji despite the how much love Nintendo has been showing and how much fans seem to like him. Just like Birdo and Shy Guy he first in Super Mario Bros 2 or actually Doki Doki Panic because Nintendo thought the actual game Super. Mario Bros: The Lost Levels was too hard for the US so they just grabbed an old game and reskinned the 4 playable characters. Despite that Birdo and Shy Guy are Mario characters now, after that he appears in Super Mario World, a toy version of him in Mario VS Donkey Kong and a cameo in Mario Party advance. He has appeared in every Paper Mario since Sticker Star and that includes Mario and Luigi Paper Jam. He appeared in Mario and Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr’s Journey and then shocked everyone when he was added to Mario Golf: Super Rush. He had a whole mode Super Mario Maker 2 called Ninji Speedruns, had a whole level themed around him in Mario Wonder, a secret one no less, and he’s in Super Mario Party Jamboree! Just like Pauline, they made him relevant again and now he’s everywhere. I mean he wasn’t in Mario Strikers Battle League but he was free DLC in Mario Golf Super Rush, they may have been planning to include him but considering how poorly received it was, if they were planning on it they probably scrapped it. Sorry if this is long.
I gave him the idea for funky Kong
"I want Nintendo to go scorched earth with Peachette"
Why lmao
Imagine we get 100 characters that would make me lose my sanity
I hope they’ll update the game after release with new characters and car parts
I would LOVE to see a lot of the Tour Alts return in this upcoming Mario Kart. There were so many cool and fun variants and costumes and such.
Damn, you have a very nice voice to listen to. I just subscribed bro 💪
My most wanted character is Madame Grape, PLEASE NINTENDO PLEASE ADD HER TO THE NEW MARIO KART I'M BEGGING YOU 😭🙏
Personally while I think the miis/mates/whatever will return I don’t persay include them with the rest of the roster and keep them separate. Regarding Odyssey, I personally think Glydon would be the best fit
I would be happy if Ninji became a playable character. He appeared in Mario Party Jamboree so why not?
It would be my dream for pac-man to be a meta in mk9
Calling Dry Bowser a "skin" of Bowser is ironic considering he is literally Bowser without skin.
Broodals + their Mother
E. Gadd
King Lakitu
Pinata
Chivarian
Tanuki(from Sunshine)
Noki
Prince Florian
One boss ghost from each Luigi's Mansion game.
Mario kart 9 should be called Mario kart ultra
I have a feeling this will be MK Ultimate. Only way they can 1 up MK8D
If this game does bring back second party characters,id love to see some Wario Ware get some representation by having Ashley and Mona in the game and the Squid Sisters from Splatoon as separate racers
This video is great, it really is a good idea to predict the characters!
If nintendo brings back king bob-omb im gonna be so happy cause he came in super mario 64 and hes one of my favourite characters
13:07 EXCUSES ME THE DISRESPECT TO MY BOY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED 🤬
Looks like the roster from super smash brothers, but in Mario Kart.
I’m going to the arcade on Saturday and am ready for a new mkgp
If we get the Get the koopalings they better be a skin for Bow Wow Jr
Crappy should be added as an item
I’d swap DKJr for Cranky Kong mostly cause Diddy serves the same purpose as DKJr and I’m more surprised that you didn’t mention Foreman Spike, especially after not only the movie but also Nintendo renaming his Japanese name to just be Spike
DK should have his alternate design added like an extra costume
Take for example Link, he has 2
Iconic Green Design and Breath of the wild design
From when he went live
I’d love either fawful or midbus and a dark bowser skin
K rool would be cool for more dk representation i think dk, diddy, dixie, funky and krool are enought dk representation since i dont think anyone wants to play as cranky 😂
I hope all the skins from Mario kart tour will be in Mario Kart 9 please Nintendo
