Waluigi master race. Also my ADHD nephew’s favourite.
lowkey the best mario character
agree
I was playing split screen online and we noticed someone was a lone waluigi so we both swapped to waluigi. By three races later the whole map was nothing but waluigi from everyone swapping over. If one or two people joined with their default character by the next race they were waluigi. Went on for a good 45 minutes before we had to drop.
Yoshi.
I like Yoshi.
If you're picking to win, this is an excellent write-up: https://www.mayerowitz.io/blog/mario-meets-pareto
Wow, that's a lot of work someone's done
Wario, I'ma gonna winna!
But after 2024, Luigi became my favorite
how did that go?
I always play Shy Guy. He's cute and his sounds are absolutely hilarious and never get annoying to me. And I'm also super shy, so it all works out.
Luigi. Growing up I usually played Nintendo games only on a friend’s console, and was usually player 2. As I got my own consoles and games, I stuck with him out of loyalty and because he has a longer jump in some games. :D
Shame they patched out the death stare though.
I’ll never forgive them for that, and neither will Luigi.
Dry Bones, because just like real life, if you call in DOA the boss will still want you to show up

Toad in the karty
DK in the party
Daisy because she's the fastest mid-weighter on a bike
Started off with Toad in the original.
With Double Dash I moved on to Paratroopa / Koopa Troopa.
And with 8 I moved onto Shy Guy.
For the in-between games, I kept the same as the previous entry. Even though he's not a light racer like the others, I switched to Shy Guy because I like the noises he makes.
I still love double dash. Such fun even with people who didn't know how to drive.
Still our number one favourite.
Both me and my wife had a Gamecube. For my stag weekend, I hired a country house in Scotland and took both, networked them together, hooked each up to a projector and we played Double Dash with 8 players at a time. It was loads of fun!
That sounds exactly like the weekend I'd love.
I have played with experts and here is what they were doing:
- forget Kong or Bowser, they can't accelerate, and if you're hit, you're dead
- get one fast enough with a decent acceleration
- ALWAYS DRIFT ALL THE TIME, it takes time to learn but that's what pros do
- don't take shortcuts, they are actually longer than the regular road, and even with the boosts on the road, you can't drift properly
Drifting seems to be secret.
As for myself, I play any character that is not too slow. Mario is fun I guess, or it's the nostalgia kicking in since I played it on the NES when it came out.
Cow.
Because Cow.
Yoshi, since OG MK.
Because when you get stopped by weapons fast acceleration helps.
I did try out dry bowser as well for a while. I thought it might have been the key to beating 200cc.
I finished it with Yoshi.
EDIT: this is MK8 btw. I aint made of cash to buy MKW
OG Yoshi gang rise
I will say one thing- it ain’t like riding a bike. I can’t power slide in OG SNES Kart like i used to!
I can’t power slide in OG SNES Kart like i used to!
I can't tell if it's really easy or if I never could. Don't make me set it all up to try, I got shit to do because I'm old and have too many responsibilities.
Daisy, because girl + yellow.
I expected everyone to be saying Toad. Kinda funny to find your friends and family are such an echo chamber.
I like King Boo.
definately Bowser!
Birdo, because in the n64 version I read somewhere yoshi was the fastest. So I picked him for the longest time, , no clue if that was accurate information then or now, however ever since my transition sliding over to the family similar Birdo has felt like representation. Trouble, complicated, flawed representation but still.
Very rarely play mario kart but when I do I play Rosalina cause she's cool af
Baby Mario/Luigi/Toad so I can build a super accelerating, super handling, ultra slow car. Keeping the boost turns going is the secret

Toad and toadette !
Koopa or Toad. Because when I was little my big brother told me they were the best, and he beat me every time.
30odd years later, after like 10 iterations of the game, I still hold that knowledge to be unquestionably true enough to not bother playing anyone else ever.
Yoshi, because if I wanted the best acceleration acceleration the only other choice was the princess.
(I only played the original SNES version.)
I like Wiggler because he gets so heated and makes silky faces. Best Heavy driver.
Boo. He’s always just so damned delighted to be included!
MK8 DX I pretty much exclusively used my Mii in the end.
MKW I have been using Bowser Jr, though it’s always fun to bring out Cow every now and again.
Rosalina. She resonates extremely strongly with me. She's genuinely how I'd love to look and stuff. Being pretty is cool, and she is massive and I love that. She's a 7'3" space queen.
I always pick a light character while learning the courses, and then switch to the biggest fastest one once I have got my routes figured out.
Bikes ALWAYS.
Whatever I feel like playing at the moment. I don't have a favorite.
Right from the first Mario Kart I was a Koopa Troopa fan. Acceptable alternatives being Yoshi and Dry Bones.
Turtle or Toad. The first one. We have it on Switch but don’t play it much. It’s fine, it’s really pretty, but my experience is with the first one.
in world: pit stop sky guy. he is cool in 8 I used tanuki
Newer MK: cute Rosalina MK64: cute Yoshi
Rosalina. I like her in general, probably my favorite mario character. Also she's a heavyweight which I prefer in Mario kart.
In Mario kart's without her, typically Bowser.
