Anyone play Mario Kart Wii/8 here? What character and vehicle do you main?

[Deep.Nest]

Mario Kart Wii is fucking awesome. 8's pretty good too but not as fun as Wii. Back when I was a little kid and actually had friends, we'd grind these games during sleepovers.

What character and vehicle combo do you guys typically use in these games?

For Wii, I mostly use Funky Kong and Flame Runner or Daisy and Mach Bike

For 8, I mostly use Dry Bones and Biddy Buggy

Haven't played Mario Kart Wii in ages, but i'm fairly sure Daisy with Mach Bike used to be my favorite combo too. Bikes were so much fucking better than Karts.

Yeah I never use karts in Wii, conversely I hardly ever use bikes in 8

Nice combo. Still have no idea why Rosalina is a heavy weight. She's skinny as hell

the answer is that they wanted a female heavyweight character. it's also literally the only reason pink gold peach exists, so they could have more heavy female characters

Yeah most likely. They were so lazy with the character variety in Mario Kart 8
