Topic: Mario Kart 8 - OT

Rainbow Road in this game will make me puke rainbows(in the good way). I can picture it now...

Everybody sucks in rainbow road. I'd actually heard a guy in a stand up comedy show, tell a joke about include the rainbow road in the driving test. It was hilarious.

Not to be cocky (which it will sound), but I'm quite good at any Rainbow Road. On Mk Wii and 7, I usually average out around 1st or 2nd on while playing any of them online..

What if you could create your own cup in this game? Pick 4 courses of your choice, and name the cup in whatever way you prefer. Like a cup with your four favourite courses or something. That'd be neat:)

If Honey Queen is in the game again... The choice of characters in 7 were just awful in my opinion.

I'm expecting this game's Rainbow Road to be a total roller coaster! Hey, if MK7's first-person driving comes back; then it can be a roller coaster rainbow ride! Although that'll double the chances of players feeling dizzy and sick...

In terms of character choice, I'd rather see more of the "classic" characters...mostly the ones from Mario Kart Wii and before (ROB and Rosalina always felt a bit out of place to me however...same thing with Dry Bowser and a few others I can't remember right now). But I guess there always has to be an unexpected character in the game.

I doubt it, but I wonder if Ralph will be added like with Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing.

Doubt it. There's no good reason for Nintendo to include him in the roster..

I still don't understand what they were thinking when they added the Honey Bee Queen (Random is an understatement.) and Metal Mario (We're making power-up forms separate characters now?) as characters in MK7.

But anyways for MK8, I'd love to see forgotten characters like Tatanga and Wart appear in the roster.

Also Cacketta just because she's awesome _{moreso than Fawful IMO.}

No kidding about Honey Queen and Metal Mario. What a joke.

Tatanga for Mario Kart 8 would be awesome, I approve entirely. Same with Cackletta (although I really, really do want to see Fawful in a game like Mario Kart at some point).

If I had to choose between Dry Bowser and Metal Mario, I'd go for Metal Mario.

I'm guessing Metal Mario took place of Baby Mario in 7? If that's the case, then it's either going to be Baby Mario & Baby Luigi or Metal Mario & someone else in 8.

I'd rather have the baby bros.

I also support Tatanga and Wart for this game. I think they are great ideas.

I would be nice if they included one of the Bowser kids in this game (and then I don't mean Baby Bowser, but one of those first introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3). I'd love to drive as Iggy or someone:)

They would have to include all seven then! It wouldn't feel right having one or two then leaving the rest out

Apparently, Metal Mario's been his own character for a while now, like in super Smash Bros, Mario Golf and Dr. Mairo 64. I still think Tatanga and Wart should be in it, though, Tataanga could have a modified version of his own ship!
Also, am i still the only person who wants Gooper Blooper?

I think it still would be better to have only one of them instead of Baby Bowser. Don't mind which one, cuz I think they all have such cool designs:) And Bowser's always been one of my favourite characters in the MK series, so...

I hope the roster isn't as terrible as Mario Kart 7's. I mean, Honey Queen? Wiggler? Really?

I'd be happier if they kept MK8 at 12 characters, rather than force unnecessary characters in. In saying that, I'd be pretty surprised if Diddy kong, Bowser Jr., Baby Mario, Baby Luigi or Miis aren't added.

I don't know about that..Mario Kart Wii had twice that number of characters, and two more if you count Mii A and Mii B
It seems that since Double Dash, the console versions of Mario Kart will have more characters than the handheld versions. Plus, Mario Kart 8 is 12 player racing rather than the usual 8, so that means you would see the same characters every single race

Really? Huh, never saw where it said 12 racers at a time was returning from Wii.
