Top Ten Worst Mario Kart Characters Ever

Mario Kart is a fun spinoff series. However, the creators tend to add horrible characters. Here are the worst additions.
The Top Ten
1 Pink Gold Peach Pink Gold Peach is a character who debuts in Mario Kart 8, where she appears as an unlockable playable character.

She's a stupid clone character that no one likes who exists for no reason but filler. Pink gold isn't even a real thing! I thought she would dissappear after MK8, but NO, we have to have her in Mario Sports Superstars too! There's also a Baby Pink Gold Peach statue in Baby Park. Screw Pink Gold Peach!

WHY IS SHE A THING?! Instead of putting King Boo or Drybones or someone WHO IS ACTUALLY IN ANOTHER MARIO GAME, we get his monster. Is it, like, Peach with the Golden Flower? I don't know, and I don't want to.

At least the Koopalings are original characters and were requested by fans unlike this thing. Just go onto the Mario Wiki and press a character at random and that character would be a better choice than this Pink Gold Abomination unless you just so happen to get her out of the thousands of Mario characters.

2 Koopalings

Honestly I'm not surprised that they are number 1 on this list ahead of PGP because of their huge hate club that gathers on this site. You make a comment that says "Krapalings suck!" without any evidence and you will get over 20 likes in less than 24 hours. You all think they are the worst because they are lousy Bowser Jr clones while Pink Gold Peach and Metal Mario are good and original characters that have so much personality. I respect your opinion if you don't like the Koopalings but come on Pink Gold Peach, Baby Rosalina, Cat Peach, Metal Mario and Tanooki Mario should be the top 5.

At least they are original. The only problem with the Koopalings is that Nintendo overused them (especially in the New Super Mario Brothers series) I feel like the hate for them is very unjustified. Pink Gold Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, and Metal Mario are worse

We don't get to play as interesting and unique characters like Bowser Jr, Diddy Kong, Birdo, Dry Bones, Kamek, Nabbit, King Boo, and Petey Piranha, but we get to play as seven bland, boring, filler bosses from the Mario Games. If you don't care for the Krapalings, then that's about 25% of the roster you don't care for. Lousy Krapalings.

3 Cat Peach

Since so many people loved the clone characters so much they decided to add Cat Peach and Tanooki Mario as DLC instead of Nabbit and Kamek. Make them an alternate costume instead of putting a Mario, Luigi or Peach clone in as their own slot and call it a new character.

It's just Peach! In a cat suit! Nothing interesting!

Because Pink Gold Peach was received so well...

4 Baby Rosalina Baby Rosalina is an infant version of the major character from the Mario Bros . Franchise, Rosalina . She first appeared in Mario Kart 8 as a playable character and is now one of 5 baby characters in the roster, alongside infant versions of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Princess Daisy .

The worst thing about Baby Rosalina is that she ruined Rosalina's backstory. Rosalina had no association with space as a baby. She was put in Mario Kart just for the sake of making the roster look bigger. Nintendo you better not even think about putting Baby Pauline, Baby Pink Gold Peach or Baby Metal Mario in the next Mario Kart.

Not only is she a lazy clone, but they didn't even get her hair right! Her hair was red as a child! Either way, she is still a lazy character.

This is even worse than Baby Daisy

5 Baby Daisy Baby Daisy is the infant version of the major character in the Mario Bros . franchise, Princess Daisy . She is known for her appearances as a playable character in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 . She is also found as a playable character in Super Mario Sluggers for the Wii .

Just a waste of space. Baby Peach and Baby Daisy wasted Paratroopa and Shy Guy's space in MKWii. It gets worse with Baby Rosalina.

Ugh at least the other baby character in Wii have actual background

Plain filler

6 Tanooki Mario

Nintendo should have put a biddybud as a playable character instead. It would be a way better character than this worthless clone of Mario.

This guy should've just been a costume for Mario

Waste of space like Cat Peach.

7 Metal Mario Metal Mario is a character that appears in both the Mario series and the Super Smash Bros, where he made his first appearance in the Nintendo 64 version. He's pretty similar to Mario when using a Metal Cap, but instead of being a transformation, Metal Mario is his own character.

Damn right! I was predicting that my Mario Kart 9 predictions are the worst because Sonic is in it. NO CAMEOS IN MARIO KART?! Well, get rid of Link! Isabelle! Donkey Kong! Sure, you have Metal Mario stealing Waluigi's spot in Mario Kart 7, King Boo's in mario Kart 8, and Diddy Kong's in MK8 Deluxe.
Yet people think the first actual Mario game with Sonic is just too much.
You have a queen bee who is a dirty bee, and a Caterpillar who gets angry and turns red, but a SUPER MARIO 64 POWER UP!?!? Are you NUTS, Nintendo? REMOVE THIS CRAP!

An unoriginal character who could've easily been a reskin for Mario. Yes he was in Mario 64, but he is still a waste of space. Nintendo should've added a metal cap item if they wanted metal characters so bad. He even started Pink Gold Peach!

Don't you dare think Metal Mario is getting off the hook because of Pink Gold Peach. He is the root of all this clone garbage. Also did you ever consider that he was the reason PGP was created. Because he needs a girlfriend,

8 Gold Mario

It's already bad enough that metal Mario and pink gold peach are added. Now we have this character. What's next? A cosmic clone from super Mario 3d land becomes a playable character or bee Mario, spring Mario, fire Mario, or how about green bronze luigi. Nintendo needs to stop adding clones of Mario characters and give up character slots for birdo, diddy Kong, paratroop a and other characters that should be in Mario kart.

Because Nintendo apparently hasn't learned their lesson from the pink Gold Peach disaster.

He even has the same damn pose as Metal Mario.

9 Honey Queen Honey Queen (better known in Super Mario Galaxy as Queen Bee) is the queen of all the honeybees who is a very large bee and always talks nosism. She appears in both of the Super Mario Galaxy games, where she rules over all the honeybees in three different galaxies, and in Mario Kart 7 where she appears as a heavyweight unlockable driver.

She has cheated her way into the races, first by taking the mushrooms out of Toadette's braids, squashing the crown of King Boo, yelled at Diddy Kong to stay out of the race, and apparently, she had those characters arrested for "trespassing" on the racetracks even though the Queen herself was the trespasser. Apparently, HQ was partly responsible for the creation of Pink Gold Peach, at least that's what I heard from a conversation between a Pokey, Pianta, a Mouser, and Geno, who were having a fun time.

WHOEVER DID THE MK7 ROSTER MUST BE RESET HAPPY! HOWEVER, MY MESSAGE IS QUITE CLEAR: STOP THE RESETTING! Now, SCRAM!
----Sonny Resetti,
Former Supervisor at the Reset Surveillance Center

Did anyone ever play as this character in Mario Kart 7? I played her once and that's it. She is so lame and her voice is so annoying. In my opinion she is the worst non clone Mario Kart character.

There were better characters from Mario Galaxy that could've made it in. We have the Lubbas, Whittles, Gearmos, Coach, the Spooky Speedster would've fit since he is a racer. I'm being honest, I would rather play as Bill Board than Honey Queen

10 Baby Peach Baby Peach is the infant version of the major character from the Mario Series, Princess Peach. She is mostly known for her appearances in the Mario Kart Franchise in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 as a playable character, but she also appears in other Mario games, including Yoshi's Island DS, in which she is not a playable character.

The starter of the Baby Princess nonsense. I know she existed before, but she needed a partner so we had Baby Daisy! Just leave it at Baby Mario and Baby Luigi.

I always target her every time I play Mario Kart Wii. Heck, I would risk losing my chance on the podium.

Baby Peach was in PIT and they need a female baby. She's okay

The Contenders
11 Daisy Princess Daisy is a fictional character in the Mario series of video games, in which she is the princess of the fictional region of Sarasaland.

Only in Mario Kart Double Dash. Who can forget "HI I'M DAISY! "

Why Daisy is here?

She is overrated

12 Ludwig von Koopa Ludwig Von Koopa is a villain in the Super Mario Franchise. He is the self-proclaimed leader of the Koopalings and has a pompous and arrogant personality. He is said to have all the powers of the other six Koopalings. He can clone himself, cause earthquakes, teleport, and shoot lightning bolts from his hands. He can also flutter. He was named after Ludwig Van Beethoven and both have similar hair... read more

Eat $#it, Ludwig. You worthless ass piece of trash filler!

Get this garbage out of the game.

13 Peachette

When Peachette was created in NSMBU deluxe, I just knew that they'd throw her into the roster as a filler slot. Surprise surprise, she's in Mario Kart Tour. And apparently, she was so important to include that they still don't have Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Bowser Jr, and Rosalina in the roster. Kay then

Nintendo puts Peachette of all characters in Mario Kart Tour and not Luigi. Seems legit.

Thankfully she's only in the crappy mobile game.

14 Lemmy Koopa The youngest of the seven original children of the Koopa King. Lemmy has always been fascinated by the circus and acrobatic acts and so he's made it his life's calling. Lemmy dreams of showing the world his incredible physical feats and never passes up a chance to gain a captive audience. Though he clearly suffers from a degree of mania and is therefore unpredictable, Lemmy is far and away the least... read more
15 Peach Princess Peach is a major character in the Mario Bros. Franchise. She is the lead female of the The Mario franchise. She is usually the character who needs saved in most Mario Games, but also has appeared as a playable character in the Main-Series Mario Games, including Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Run, and even starred in her own game, Super Princess Peach for the Nintendo... read more

Peach sucks in every game she appears in.

Why is peach on the list?

Not bad at all

16 Rosalina Rosalina, known as Rosetta in Japan, is a major character in the Mario Franchise created by Nintendo. She first appeared in the 2007 Mario Game, Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii and later returned for the game's sequel in 2010. Since then, she has been featured in many main-series Mario Games and many spinoffs. She has appeared as a playable character in Super Mario 3D World for the Nintendo... read more

She is just being overused now. Not a bad character, just way too overused and wasting space sometimes. I just perfer playing as Mario enemies.

She's not only the mother of Lumas. She's also the mother of pitiful, babyish fans that hate every character but her.

This Peach knockoff makes me sick to my stomach

17 Waluigi Waluigi is a lanky self-centered, brusque young lad as he is considered evil and the main rival of Luigi. Waluigi is shown causing local havoc in most games he appears in alongside his partner Wario. Waluigi is not instinctively evil or the antagonist (not counting DDR), as a matter of fact, he shows great compassion for his fellow peers, typically for characters Daisy and Wario. Waluigi is also described... read more

One of the most overhated characters ever

Overhated? More like overrated.

Getting this loser above Rosalina.

18 Lakitu Lakitu, known in Japan as Jugem, is a fictional flying character in the Mario franchise. Created by Shigeru Miyamoto, it first appeared in the Nintendo Entertainment System video game Super Mario Bros., where it dropped enemies called Spinies on the stage.

I get it his shell color is different but he still is the same character as the race referee. I would rather have a newcomer than this guy in Mario kart 8. He was a newcomer in mk7 but has no reason to return

He is a waste of character space. He already exists as the refree. Why is he playable? I know he has a different shell color and there can be many Lakitus at a time, but no one picks him, so he is pointless.

This guy already has a role in the game. Why is he playable

19 Wiggler Wigglers are a species of caterpillar in the Mario franchise. They have a segmented body and comically large nose and are yellow slowly moving when happy, but turn red and run angrily very quickly if they get jumped on

This is why we get Lakitu!

Wiggler was awesome

20 ROB

I like ROB. He isn't a Mario character. I've heard that "It's like if a Wii Fit Balance Board was a character." Not really. ROB is kind of a character. I like how he is now in Smash Bros.

He's not a bad character, he isn't really a Mario character.

Just because he was in Mario Kart it dosen't mean he's a Mario character.

21 Dry Bowser Dry Bowser is the fossilized version of the main antagonist of the Mario Bros. Franchise, Bowser. He first appeared in New Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo DS after Bowser had been dumped into the lava and was left with his skeleton. Since then, Dry Bowser has appeared as a villain in games like Super Mario 3D Land, New Super Mario Bros games, and similar titles. He also appears in some Mario Spinoff... read more

One of the few good clones

I like him actually.

The forgotten clone

22 Isabelle

She did appear in Mario kart 8 though. It was one of Nintendo's loudest ideas, on top of the fact that they left poor Diddy Kong out. I'm glad they ditched Birdo though.

Alright I guess

23 Funky Kong Originating from the SNES Donkey Kong Country, in which he is the CEO of Funky's Flights, this Kong absolutely tears up the race track with a massive +4 speed and +3 off-road stat, making him the most popular character in Mario Kart Wii online play.

No he is awesome. Have you seen how good he is in Mario Kart Wii

But you got to admit.. them shades are pretty damn FUNKY

He's still better than moron Morton.

24 Larry Larry Koopa is the youngest koopaling. He first appeared in Super Mario Bros 3, which came out in 1990. He is known for his blue mohawk hair. He was created by Nintendo.

One of my favourite koopalings

Why is this trash in the game?

25 Wario

Wario is forgotten trash.

Wario is one of the GOATs
