Theres also no diddy kong, bowser jr, funky kong, birdo, dry bones, or dry bowser. Like, at least the Koopalings are actual characters that we see in Mario games. Baby Rosalina and Golden Pink Peach are just them making stuff up.

i think they overdid the koopalings, they took up all the spots for the other characters. i liked dry bones too. i kinda get baby rosalina, but pink gold peach and metal mario? not my favorite.

I'm 90% sure that the metal characters are to show off the TOTTALY FABULOUS HD reflection graphics.

Yeah, they obviously haven't run out of characters. They're just insane. I was really hoping for Diddy, Dixie, & Bowser Jr.
I just hope they aren't don't announcing characters.

wait so can you steer with the tilting of the gamepad as well as the sticks and buttons on it? i really hope it doesn't display the race on the gamepad, it will use up so much more battery life.

Pink Gold Peach will be legendary.

The gamepad can display a lot of things. Its really up the the player. Same thing with the control scheme.

Someone uploaded the soundtrack for all 32 courses in the game!! The music is just breathtaking <3 (Toad Harbor OMG) here is the playlist if you want to take a listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-AWRHI14RQ&list=PL7z4hndyaGDXRaXkD76rekmI-6ejIAQPU

Honestly I don't mind pink gold peach. I think her rose-peach-ish coloring is pretty.

 

[Kip]

I love Bowser's Castle, Rainbow Road, Tick Tock Clock, Sunshine Airport, Electrodrome, & Cloudtop Cruise.

The music is just soo amazing ;-;

Electrodrome

The music is just soo amazing ;-;

YES!! Lol I agree. xD

IS NO ONE ELSE HYPED ABOUT YOSHI VALLEY
AND ROYAL RACEWAY
LITERALLY THE TWO BEST N64 COURSES HAVE RETURNED
oh and rainbow road

I wouldn't mind Pink Gold Peach as long as she wasn't put it in favour of someone else... and that this isn't the last we see of her

 

[Paperboy012305]

I'm not going to reveal the music to myself, I'm going to have to wait until I get it.

 

[Jawile]

OH MY GOD I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY AS ROY. He's the koolest Koopaling.

Also I hate Metal Mario, but Pink Gold Peach looks nice to me. Probably because she has some color on her instead of being drab grey. I think the character roster this time around is MUCH better than Mario Kart 7's. I mean, MK7 had Honey Queen and Wiggler... *shivers*

I'm not a huge fan of Yoshi Valley, the original was confusing and it was easy to fall off. But the new one looks a lot better. Royal Raceway is pretty good too. And N64 Rainbow Road <3

Heh, Roy is ok, but I'd have to say Ludwig is my favorite.

Don't know how to double quote, sorry. :/

Guys the Toad Harbor music is so amazing, my favorite track!

Larry Koops all the way. Mostly because I never learnt their names but knew one of them was called Larry so me and my sister called them all Larry (even Wendy), and together they are the Larry Kooperlings.

IKR.

With the success of Tropical Freeze, I'm surprised there aren't more Donkey Kong characters.
