Mario Kart 8 DLC Wishlist

you already know they gonna waste one slot on wario stadium n64
just so they have every n64 course remade

Why would they do that when they can just redo another Rainbow Road? Because we really could use another after all I don't think 3 in the same game and featuring SNES Rainbow Road twice in the most recent Mario Kart incarnations was enough.

I'm just saying i wouldn't be surprised if that's what went down haha.
When it comes to more Rainbow Road's remade, I'm down with that.
I felt cheated when we got that bogus N64 Rainbow Road remake not even 3 laps and doesn't look too much like the OG course smh. But like I said in an earlier post, bring on Double Dash Rainbow Road!

Nah I agree to a point though. It feels like they don't really take these things into consideration though. They're probably not going "omg this is the last N64 one we need to redo", it feels so random what they do. A lot of people anticipated GameCube tracks but there's more Wii & 3DS "retro" tracks.
Bleh yeah though, N64 RR remake is alright but it doesn't resemble the old one much at all. It's not a bad track but they should have done something different with that one and done the real remake properly. Nor does Toad Turnpike. I don't recognize either. Turnpike is more like Moonview Highway.
 
my predictions for DLC:

DLC pack 3:
characters: kirby, nabbit and egadd
cups: warpstar cup (with a kirby themed course) and boomerang cup


DLC pack 4:
Characters: captain toad, cranky kong, and gold mario
cups: red shell cup and coin cup

also by betting both you get multi colored toads like you get multi colored yoshis and shyguys. also more amiibo costumes, such as zelda, diddy kong, pikachu, bowser, wario, and rosalina/luma.

I think you should replace Caption Toad with Yarn Yoshi or something but nice list! I would love to see Kirby too! Imagine driving trough nutty noon while there are waddle dees block your path and those little stars as coins!

I love Yoshi a lot but I have to say no to Yarn Yoshi. If we're counting the skins (which we should) there's like, 10 Yoshi's in the game (I'm not entirely sure how many, I only ever use the red one). There's already the Koopa kids, 10 Shy guys, 4 Mario's, 4 Peach's, 2 Luigi's, 2 Toads...Eugh...
I kind of want them to stop dumping tons of variations of the same few characters, even if one of them is my favorite.




Aside from that, I hope they add Amiibo functionality for all the 'new' Amiibo's.
I was playing today and I was kind of disappointed that my Sheik Amibo isn't even compatible with the game. I wouldn't necessarily use the Mii outfit (I don't use Mii's, only red Yoshi) but it would be nice if the other Amiibo actually worked with the game.

Probably, but considering that nearly all characters have similar alts (For Toad there is Toadette) why not?
 
Another track I would love is a Mario Golf inspired track. Think of it as like driving a golf cart path through a golf course or something with elements of Mario Golf all around you. Have sand bunker and water hazards as traps or even golf balls and moles as things to disrupt you. I think they could do a lot with it. Might even be cool to have a golf cart as a new kart to drive in the game.

Now that you mention Yarn Yoshi, I have a suspicion we'll see a Yarn Yoshi track in the DLC. They did it for Smash, so there's probably a good chance they'll do it for MK8 to hype the release of that game.

Yeah you could be right with that! I'd like to see a Woolly World course instead of Yarn Yoshi himself. Also, how about several Birdos shooting golf balls at you from the sides of the race track? Mario Golf Madness!

Eh, I wouldn't really say Toad and Toadette are similar to Yoshi and Yarn Yoshi. I would say Yoshi and Birdo are more similar.

But it's pretty much just me getting a bit tired of seeing alts of existing characters when we could have new characters entirely, like Link and Isabelle. It wouldn't be as bad if they all got compiled into a sub-menu (like the different colored Yoshi's).

I'm not against Yarn Yoshi (especially if he comes in red), I would just rather have pretty much anything but an existing character.

Yeah but i am just trying to think of possible things and not like: ME WANT GOKU IN HUEHUE! Toad and Toadette are genderless Toadette just is an alt. Toad she literally IS one! Yarn Yoshi and Yoshi are both Yoshi, so yes they are similar.

Yea, so far I've only liked the SNES remake they did. Will be interesting to see if they put another one in.

Absolutely! People compare the Excitebike track to it, but it's not even close in my book lol

What was so good about Baby Park though? I remember it as the most plain track in whole Double Dash!!

So same, Tanooki Mario is cute but him and Cat Peach are doubles. We've got 4 different Peaches & Marios. Regular, Baby, Metal and Suited. Now we've got a million different Bowsers and we're getting Dry Bowser. I don't even care about the Koopalings and people only seem to use Ludwig, Morton and Iggy. Wendy is totally forgotten for the most part online it seems, she's so rarely used. Terrible. They dropped the ball hardcore on diversity. They had others they could have returned to, LIKE BIRDO. Wiggler, Queen Bee, Boo, or Spike even?

It's less "ME WANT GOKU" and more "there's so many character in the Mario universe and you keep cloning the same few".


They're genderless, yea, but she's still pretty much 'girl Toad'. They at least exist in the same world as separate entities.

Adding Yarn Yoshi would be less 'Toadette' and more 'paper Mario'.

I do not think that does make any sense to Nintendo though

Yea...But what does to Nintendo? I'm really surprised Paper Mario hasn't already made it into Mario Kart as another character...And 'bad Mario' from Sunshine -.- Just make all the characters Mario.



Wasn't Petey Piranha in Double Dash? They should bring him in/back as a character.

Also Diddy Kong. I guess he's not really part of the Mario series but eh, Donkey Kong is there, so I'm pulling technicalities here. It would at least be nice since it's unlikely we'll ever see another Diddy Kong Racing.

I do not think that any of these things are going to happen though, but it sure could be a thing in a 5 years or something in that direction.
