The game looks beautiful. Those graphics look like a Pixar movie, which is awesome! Obviously Fawful needs to get in; what other characters do you expect/hope for? I also want Dimentio, and I'm glad Waluigi's back since his absence in 7 was unacceptable.
I never understood how MK7 got rid of so many characters! I guess it really was rushed. I want Diddy back. Dixie would even be cool. She was in Superstar Baseball.

The baseball games have huge-ass rosters. Surprised they still didn't have any RPG characters. I think Toadsworth, Kamek and E. Gadd would also be cool to see in MK8. Also Midbus and Antasma.
Midbus had charm, so I agree. Antasma did not have much charm or anything really. Although, his final scene with Bowser made me feel sorry for him. I wish MK had a huge roster. That's what I want. More characters can never hurt a game.
Yeah, if he had more screentime I would be okay. Midbus had a ton of appearances in his game and he blends in with the rest of the drivers. He would be a heavy character. Fawful would probably be a middle weight, and Dimentio I can see as a light character, same with Mimi.
While I liked Antasma I must say that he was pretty much wasted potential. Still hoping him to return altho I don´t think that MK8 is the right time and place for that .It would be pretty cool tho As for what new characters I´d like to see I really would LOVE to see Tatanga and Chuck`ya (I think that what he is called) again , especially since I have developed a fangirlish crush on the latter. Those two are pretty unlikely tho unless they got a revivial in the main series or something (which I really hope for). Popple would be pretty awesome to see /no pun here/ as well and ditto with Midbus. I also hope that some Wario and/or DK subseries character would appear , we really need a bigger "scale" on the Marioverse. As for veterans I hope that King Boo (with his Luigi´s mansion design) and Shy Guy (the only "generic " I care for XD) would return. Petey Pirhana would be nice as well , but I think he is pretty unlikely

Petey isn't that unlikely. There has only been one console MK since Double Dash, and Petey was in Wii's beta. I think he still has a chance. And I agree King Boo needs his Luigi's Mansion look. Still don't know why they redesigned him to look more generic.
Yeah that is true... But Petey hasn´t appeared in ages (not that I know at least XD) Yes King Boo needs his LM look, if not in other way then at least as his "alt outfit" or something like that. But I think we have some hope with King Boo´s LM design , because of Dark moon and the fact that people have complained about King Boo´s design in the MK games (I think that he had that design in Sunshine tho) Speaking of Luigi´s Mansion I think that those ghost characters were interesting (from the first one, mind you) and having one or two of them as racers would be nice. I know that this is my most unlikely wish , but hey , a girl can dream
Sorry I have missed this awesome discussion, guys! College preparation is not easy. ^_^
What portrait ghosts do you guys want from the first Luigi's Mansion? I think Melody would be awesome. The one that played the piano! That would add another female racer and she seems to fit in well.

I kinda had a soft spot towards ROB since he kinda looks like a robot from one of my favorite movies, but yeah he does feel out-of place in Mario Kart. I would like to see Kamek appear, he was in the beta of Mario Kart 64. Not Magikoopa, I am talking about the leader, Kamek. He was in Mario Party 9 (some versions called him Kamek instead of Magikoopa). Toadsworth and Professor E. Gadd would be neat to have as well.

What movie? I recognize him too, and I do not know where from.

It is an older movie called Short Circuit (has a sequel called Short Circuit 2) and it stars a robot who looks a bit like ROB named Johnny 5. He isn't identical to ROB and has some different features, but ROB reminds me of him. He also looks somewhat like Wall-E. I think it's the head shape (eyes taking up almost the whole head).
I love Short Circuit and Short Circuit 2! However, I still want many more characters before ROB. Basically, he can be added if we get everybody else, but I never want him to take the spot of another character.

True. He isn't even a Mario character. Even though I personally prefer him to Honey Queen, at least she is still a Mario character. But I do think there needs to be MANY more representatives from the full Mario series before we get outsiders(except Pac-Man characters in the arcade games).
Yeah ROB was pretty random . AndI am fine with him but there are too many characters I want before him Speaking of random, I had once a very random (yet amusing) idea of Mouser (a boss character from SMB2 (US version)) being in Mario kart. Pretty unlikely but still XD

I really liked Mouser! That game needs some more love. Wart needs to break into the main games some more as well. He wasn't that bad. Fryguy might even make it. No, maybe not.
Nice idea! It brought back memories of all those guys!

I never got why Wart just seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. He could have easily appeared in Dream Team, and he has another chance to return in 3D World. Maybe he will be in that game, since it has many SMB2 elements already. And in Mario Kart 8 we need heavy racers. Hopefully enough new heavies to replace Honey Queen, since I do not want to hear that annoying "dooDEEdooo!" as she hits me with a shell ever again. Wart and Midbus are some excellent heavy choices. Maybe we get reskin options like in Smash Bros. Then characters like Dry Bowser and Metal Mario can just be optional palettes and that will open up more new roster slots.
Well Wart´s absence may have to do with the fact that SMB2 wasn´t a Mario game to being with (still, Birdo and Shy guy orginated from SMB2 as well). And lets hope Wart being in SM3DW. And Wart would be a perfect heavyweight choice. Also agree with the alt-form/outfit thing. We seriously need that

Oh well XD that explains it. Also out of curiosity what would you guys think if K. Rool is in MK8? I mean it might be unlikely (because of Rare) but I would like that
