I always play Tanooki Mario because I am very in touch with my inner child lol. I love to think of Mario parachuting around with his balls, even if thats not the animation they went with :D

Who do you play and why?

    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 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.

      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, 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.

      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 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.

    Baby Mario/Luigi/Toad so I can build a super accelerating, super handling, ultra slow car. Keeping the boost turns going is the secret
