It seems Mario Kart 8 has a definite list of characters now. The game will include:
Mario Luigi Peach Daisy Yoshi Toad Toadette Bowser Donkey Kong Koopa Troopa Wario Waluigi Rosalina Baby Mario Baby Luigi Baby Peach Baby Daisy The Koopalings ( Larry, Lemmy, Wendy, Roy, Morton, Ludwig, and Iggy)
I did not expect this at all. Some villains have been included. Is this a step in the right direction?

The Koopalings surprised me, I'll admit. I thought maybe Ludwig, Iggy, or Larry might make it, or any one of them, but not ALL of them. I guess they're a package deal. Anyway I'm sure this isn't the full roster. There's so many veterans who haven't been revealed (Diddy Kong, King Boo, Dry Bones, and Birdo among them). As for newcomers, the Koopalings are either great news or bad news. There's the possibility they're the only newcomers, but there's also the possibility that we have more coming. And I'd say Fawful may possibly be next, due to being the next boss after the Koopalings in Superstar Saga, if they decide to reference that game in any way. Also, I hope King Boo has his Luigi's Mansion look, that would be so badass.
I also noticed Bowser Jr. is missing. Koopalings are taking their place back from him.
I also thought about Superstar Saga, but I did not know if it was just wishful thinking. I'm glad to see you had the same idea. Sadly, Koopalings are mostly known for their appearances in the main platformers. Still no original RPG guys yet.
I also want the King Boo from the Luigi Mansion games! Double Dash made him look lame. I want his evil, scary look.
On a positive note, Lemmy is by far my favorite Koopaling! I will play as him.
I'll definitely try them all, but I usually settle on only a few characters that I use. Normally I use Diddy or Toad, sometimes Baby Peach. I can't handle heavy vehicles. I imagine Morton and Roy will be heavy, and possibly Ludwig. Lemmy is small, and Iggy and Wendy will be middle.
I must admit that I have never been a big fan of the Koopalings but I am gkad that they are in. First off they are much better choices than some random enemies. They also have a huge fanbase who are glad of their return. I hope that they arent the only newcomers tho
Now I wait for King Boo to return... and some random newcomer. Like Polterpup (or maybe not. He is too tiny)
Polterpup?! Wow, I never see him suggested. Interesting. King Boo needs more face time. The babies should not have spots over Diddy, King Boo, or Bowser Jr.
I love off topic posts. As long as a discussion is going on and we are active and having fun, then that's all I care about.
I have a sneaky feeling that Polterpup will pop up in future Luigi's Mansion games, so he may become a Mario staple soon. His chances are slim of appearing in Mario Kart, but we did get Honey Queen, so anything is possible. I personally want a huge roster of characters! Did you ever play Mario Superstar Baseball? That game had so many characters, including Pianta and Noki.
Not sure exactly, but they had over sixty for sure. Some were different colors Toads, though. However, they had Monty Mole, Hammer Bro, Petey Piranha, Dixie Kong, Tiny Kong, Funky Kong, King K. Rool, Magikoopa and so many others! It was insane! It made sense because those games needed whole teams.
Yep, they even had Kremlings! A whole DK team could be created. ^_^ I only liked using Diddy, Dixie, and Tiny though. I suck with power types like DK. Same with Mario Kart, actually. I suck with heavy racers. I use small or medium. Which do you use most?

I generally use heavvy characters, but I'm fine with any class. It's the characters that I like that I use. In the ones that have Waluigi I use him mostly. Others I use Wario, Bowser, Luigi, and Lakitu (Luigi and Lakitu aren't heavy but most of my mains are. I also occasionally use Metal Mario). But while I mostly use heavyweights now, my most-wanted is a light-middle (can't decide which) so I'm really fine with any class, as long as I like the character.
I am not that experiencrd but I mostly use middleweights. Then again I try to play with any character as long as I like them. I mostly use Yoshi, the Toads, Shy guy and Dry Bones :3.
Also there is that roster picture which has 30 characters: the ones mentoined in the starting post as well Shy guy, metal Mario, Lakitu and three questionmarks (=secret characters). Who do you think or who do you want to be the last spots. Personally I think the remaining slots will be for Diddy, Nabbit and Jr or Kamek. Would like but not exactly my dream which qould be a small boo , a medium sized boo and King Boo....okay I am just kidding. Really I want King Boo, Dry Bones and either Petey Piranha or Nabbit (Polterpup, a bob omb racer ,Dixie or Cranky would be great too. And I kinda want Antasma but thats a long story)
We all want Fawful and Antasma, but that is a pipe dream now. A Piranha Plant pipe dream, at that! Get it?!
I'll settle for Diddy! He is the only Middle weight character I use. I would love to see Dixie and Cranky to help tie in with the release of Tropical Freeze!
We need a Boo actually. A normal one. We already have Lakitu, Shy Guy and Koopa. Might as well go all the way and give us Boo and Goomba! Just not one for every weight class.
Hehe exactly.And so are some other characters I want such as Greenie and possibly even Petey ( I got the piranha plant dream so I used it) But I am fine with that to be honest. Because the game looks already great. Plus all I need my king Boo
Diddy is a must . And I dont think we will get both Cranky and Dixie (if we get either) who do you want more? I personally want Cranky. Grumpy grandpas FTW
Now when you mentoin it a Boo would be nice. Boo has also been playable in 14 spinofftitles but no Mario kart.But if we got only one Boo variation I rather had king boo tbh. Also if this had Boo for every size it would be too much. This isnt Boo kart
Diddy is a must! I was so sad when he was not in Mario Kart 7. He should be a staple of the series now.
I prefer Dixie over Cranky. Always have and always will. You can blame the SNES games for that. ^_^ I do love grumpy grandpas though. I just prefer Diddy and Dixie in games together. I wish they could have been in Double Dash together and let DK team with Cranky!
Boo Kart! We need Boo Kart! I prefer King Boo too, but I really want a normal Boo now. He is already planing baseball and tennis, so I don't know why he can't just drive a kart already. We got Shy Guy for goodness sake. We need Boo. He can still remain as a character on levels too because in Mario Kart 7 we can play as Shy Guy and they still appear on levels, so I don't see any problems with including him.
Well exactly. It is more fun with the little kong around.
I like Dixie too but I just prefer Cranky. But each for their own I guess xD. Also Id love to have both but at the same time idk xD. Especially if we just have three characters.
So my idea of having an all boo mario kart is good xD. It was just a joke. Still a Boo is needed. We need those cuties to drive. Also first after that Hammer Bro
Also this wont happen but imagine a greenie in Mario kart. Cute ghosts driving are important :3.
Boo Kart would be a good idea, although I know you were joking. Greenies, and portrait ghosts could join the Boos and drive on haunted houses courses. Boo Forest, Luigi's Mansion, Haunted Towers could all be tracks. I'd love it.
I don't expect Dixie to be in this Mario Kart. I was mostly talking about the future. I'd rather have 3 separate characters than have more Kongs if space is limited now. It is okay if we don't agree on Kongs, you can have Cranky and I'll take Dixie! Have fun getting beat by his old man cane!
Also if we needed a RPG character fot boo cart it could easily be Bow. Or they could even have a duplinghost. And what potrait ghosys would it have? Id like Melody or madame Claraoiva ( I think that was her name).
Yeah it is a shame that we have so few spots left. Also Dixie is my second favorite kong. Oh yeah that king of grumpy grandpas sure LOVES to do that
