If you could add one character....

If you could add one Extra character to Mario Kart DS, 7, or 8, who would you pick and why?

For Mario Kart 7, I would pick Waluigi because he has been in every Mario Kart game since Double Dash and the fact that Waluigi was replaced by Honey Queen wasn't worth it. Waluigi Pinball is in Mario Kart 7 but Waluigi isn't a playable character. I'm not the biggest fan of Waluigi or Waluigi Pinball but adding him in the game is a much better idea since Waluigi Pinball is already in the game. Plus Waluigi is just a better fit in the roster in my opinion.


Edit: I'm not sure for ds and 8 yet.

eh probably kirby

DS: E GADD
7: Waluigi
8: Hammer Bro / King Bob-omb

Well, that was easy, time for the rest!

SNES: Wario
N64: Koopa Troopa
GBA: Koopa Troopa
GCN: (I am gonna do two because it needs an partner) Donkey Kong JR And FUNKY KONG YAY
WII: Petey Piranha, maybe also Hammer Bro

Time for more that are considerd not mainline:
TOUR: Wiggler
Arcade GP: Daisy
Arcade GP DX: Koopa Troopa
Arcade GP 2: Daisy
Live HC: Peach or something? Bowser?

Pretty sure that's because SMG2 released the year prior, also probably why we got WSR tracks, kinda like how Rosa made sense for Wii as the original Galaxy released a year prior to the contemporaneous MK game

DS:Shy Guy, bro is tucked away in the game bro hes better than dry bones...

7:Pauline, She would be GREAT and unlike honey queen, it would actually make sense for her to have the best stats!

8: Hammer Bro, im surprised peachette got in over him, HE WAS CUT FROM MARIO KART WII GOSH DARNIT

Shy Guy - Why? E. Gadd and Dry Bones make sense fo DS because they need a Mansion rep, but Shy Guy reps for Subcon, hence why he's in 7 and you don't have those tracks in DS

Pauline - Again makes no sense, Honey Queen was in SMG2 which released just a year prior to 7, Pauline made sense for 8DX as she's in Odyssey

Hammer Bro - I don't even know who tf cares about Hammer Bro at this point lmfao, also Peachette is good since she's a NSMBUDX rep

7 released on December 1st 2011

Odyssey - the game that made Pauline popular again was released on October 27th 2018.

That is almost a 7 year gap.

I sure do wonder why they didn't bring back a legacy character nobody cared for (until almost 7 years later) instead of a representative of one of their most recent games.

Honey queen has the same problem, shes on the wii!

they brought back donkey kong jr in tour.....

They have a lot of characters in tour that aren't in the main games. It was more of a use of nostalgia to get people who played super Mario kart to gamble their money with the pipes to try to get the character. There is a difference between trying to get some money by releasing an old character in a lootbox system to making a whole game and throwing in a character nobody gives a shit about, except older people who most likely won't buy the game

wiggler is already in tour

Sorry, i never played tour before so i didnt know

But SMG2 was in the same release window as MK7 was it not?

matters on consle

also that would be like, TOY MARIO IS GOING TO BE IN MARIO KART 9 BECAUSE IT WAS IN A GAME WHICH CAME A YEAR BEFORE THE SWITCH TOO

No??? E. Gadd was planned for DS and was a GameCube character, Petey was planned for Wii and was also a GameCube character
