Who did you think was the best character and why was it Donkey Kong?

I could not vote in this poll, as there is no option for "I have never played Mario Kart."

My brother and I fought over Yoshi ALWAYS.

I'm not sure how true our reasoning was, but to us, he was one of the fastest racers (beaten only by Toad), but was still heavy enough that big guys wouldn't crush us/make us spin out.

Toad. Cause even back in Mario 2 he was the fastest.

Same with Gas. If you're fast enough, no one can catch you to hit you.

Actually, Toad only had the highest acceleration. Bowser, DK, and Wario had the highest top speeds but low acceleration due to their weight. They also barely lost any speed if they hit you.

Acceleration is important when your friends are all assholes.

I was always Peach because she was the only girl and I was maybe 10? when Mario Kart first came out? I forget.

Look. Toad, clearly Toad.

Obviously Toad.

It's not about winning, it's about who goes home with Princess Peach.

Now, is it probably freaky? Yes. Is he probably more like a dildo than a lover? I imagine so. But he's shaped like a mushroom penis mushroom look, what I'm saying is, my girlfriend is out of town and I seriously



have had too much caffeine and should stop talking right about now

Applicable part starts at 2:20... but if you haven't seen it, watch the whole thing.

At first I would pay with the heavy characters like Bowser for their durability. In battle mode I still used him most. Eventually I learned the value of acceleration and went with toad. He was just to easily spin-outable so I settled with luigi.[DOUBLEPOST=1400605286,1400605138][/DOUBLEPOST]Fun fact: bowser was so heavy that at top speeds he could make lighter characters lose a balloon by just hitting them.

Luigi for the same reason as phil, enough weight to not spin but enough acceleration to run.

Yoshi, a good balanced character. You may start your jokes now.

Why would that bring on jokes? It makes perfect sense, I mean an unbalanced person like you obviously enjoys having some sort of balance in their life... :awesome:

I'm also the younger brother, so that was a heavy influence on my choice as well.

-Are you going to go around all of those other karts?-

"Around? No..."

This reminds me of going on go karts with my son this weekend, and getting rear ended by idiot pre-teens who think that "no bumping" doesn't apply to them.

Yoshi all the way. Who couldn't love those adorable noises he makes. Plus he is fast and maneuverable. While the big guys may have the top speed when you always have the blue shell after you, you need the acceleration to keep that lead.

Looking back I was so terrible to my friends in that game. When I would get a shell I would slow down in certain parts so I could knock them off the path (ex: wario's stadium, choco mountain). Then continue on to the goal as they cursed my name. Mmmhh, I need to get new friends who will actually play mario kart with me again. :devil:

I don't think I've ever played ANY Mario Kart games. Didn't play it on SNES, didn't play it on N64, and haven't owned a Nintendo console since the 64.

But then, I also don't like racing games in general.

If you ask me, racing was the backdrop. Screwing your friends is what Mario Kart was about. Racing is to Mario Cart as Space Exploration is to Chu Chu Rocket.

Yoshi for me! And if it wasn't Yoshi, then Princess Peach. My brother and I constantly fought over Yoshi.

This is why I feel bad for Luigi.

In French, "Hey no one finds Luigi cool. What can we do to promote his new game?"

"I know! RAPIST!"

"BRILLIANT!"

I have a certain appreciation for the fact that no one likes Mario.

Wario mainly, because AH'M-A GONNA WEEN

Sometimes Bowser just because he was an unstoppable beast once you hit top speed.

Likely for the reasons Yahtzee has outlined before--he's a bland, boring character because he's Nintendo's mascot, and thus isn't allowed to have a personality lest it accidentally reflect poorly on Nintendo.

Plus in the Kart games he's the balanced character. Average speed/handling/acceleration/etc. There's nothing he does better than anyone else, so I've never seen much reason to pick him.

Also, no one plays Mario in Super Smash Bros
