Personally, I usually play as Dry Bowser. How about you?

I identify with Waluigi cuz his long legs barely fucking fit in most cars

[–] ebuttonsdude@ani.social 6 points 1 year ago

Rosalina, with one of the sport bikes

[–] squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Toad on a motorcycle is my go-to! He’s very light and agile, but can be pushed around too easily

A Mii that looks like me.

[–] Sebastrion@lemmy.fmhy.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mario... Yes i'm that one guy that plays Mario and i'm proud of it!

[–] Radioactrev@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

You and me both, brotha! There's dozens of us!

[–] jimmy@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

Waluigi if available, otherwise yoshi.

[–] thelastknowngod@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I like the black Shy Guy because of his edgy black hoodie.

[–] moldyringwald@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Tanooki Mario 🦝

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Koopa Trooper on the OG Mario Kart, but for some reason I always do better with the Inklings on the newer one.

[–] Caststarman@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Pink Gold Peach is actually top tier

[–] DBT@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year ago

I’ve always used DK because his weight knocks others out of the way. Slow acceleration isn’t an issue if you’re good at drifting.

[–] FippleStone@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Peach for sure, sometimes DK if I'm feeling rambunctious

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Either Toad or Yoshi.

[–] HowlsSophie@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Wario. His butt makes me laugh, especially on a motorcycle.

[–] MrShelbs@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Always Yoshi, but if he’s already taken then Lakitu or Koopa!

[–] git_status@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Toad or Shy Guy

[–] vox@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Shy guy all the way!

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Luigi or Dry Bowser. Or Dry Bones on DS.

Metal Mario

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

cat peach

[–] Uvine_Umbra@partizle.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mariokart 8 deluxe:

Tryhard: Tanuki Mario

Casual/200cc: baby luigi

Mariokart DS

Peach, drift stat good

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

I've only played Mario Kart on the DS, but I played it a ton. I almost always picked Dry Bones. Something about him in the generic cart just felt right in terms of handling etc.

[–] EmpiricalFlock@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yoshi until MK8, now Link. Yoshi had the right balance of speed, weight, and cute, but I can't not use Link.

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

I'm-a gonna win-a!

[–] rikonium@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Toad on the 64, I like the Koopas on DD, I'm blanking on 8 right now - I like having the quick acceleration of lighter characters to compensate for my screwups!

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

I was Dry Bowser for a long time, but now I've switched to Wiggler.

[–] jabib@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

DK in the streetle! (Or biddybuggy or whatever the bugcar is called)

On Wii I maimed as Luigi on the mach bike

[–] N00b22@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Glaive0@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Gold Mario and Gold Kart parts. It started as a self brag (I usually just play solo) then turned into a challenge, then turned into my main. Mainly due to weight and speed.

Petey Piranha and Wiggler have recently shown up as contenders for weight and speed, though, so I might end up trying them more and more.

Only MK I played was the original SNES one. I mained Yoshi. πŸ˜…

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 1 points 1 year ago

I have been playing Koopa Troopa since Super Mario Kart, and I don't plan on changing now.
