Character Review: Mario Kart Miscellaneous

 CHARACTER REVIEW

MARIO KART MISCELLANEOUS

This one's going to go by pretty quickly. There's really not that much "character-specific" content in this round of games, so it'll just kind of have to be a quick runthrough. First up, we should cover Mario Kart the character, the one that would arguably have the most content going for him, except that most everything new included in the Arcade games I'm going to be giving to someone else, so touching on that here seems pointless. That said, Tour did give us a few new things like the ice flower and a bunch of cannons that shoot various items ahead of or behind you, so those can be considered. (I kind of like what I have already, but if you'd prefer he have one of those cannons for Side B or something, go ahead and substitute it.

As for our returning characters, our "main eight" all appear across the arcade games and into Tour. Mario and Luigi also appear in Home Circuit. Waluigi, Bowser Jr., Daisy, Rosalina, Lakitu, King Boo, and the baby forms of Mario and Peach all appear in the arcade games as well, and do show up in Tour. Tour also includes the returning characters of Toadette, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Shy Guy, Dry Bones, the other three babies already included, Birdo, all seven Koopalings, Donkey Kong Jr., and alternative forms of these characters including Fursuit Mario, Captain Toad, Metal Mario, and Dry Bowser. All are mostly just drivers with nothing particularly unique to them, so I guess we're done here.

Tour introduced to the series Pauline, Peachette, Dixie Kong, Nabbit, Hammer Bro, Monty Mole, and King Bob-Omb, but as they are mostly just drivers, not much to say here also. In the arcade games, we got to see the special guests Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Blinky the ghost, Mametchi from Tamagotchi, and Don-chan from Taiko no Tatsujin. We will cover them when we tackle their own series, but for now it's just cool to see.

Various characters occasionally appear in the background or as obstacles on various stages, but mostly it's just them doing what they normally do. Thwomps thwomping, Pokeys pokeying, you know the drill.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's tackle our two new characters. We'll start with Peach's echo fighter, Peachette!
