Best Mario Kart Characters

Let's see, the pros of yoshi: he has 9 colors to pick from, he looks cool in any vehicle, he's easy to use, he's super balanced, he is freaking ADORABLE, and he represents the Mario series. One of my favorite characters, aside from Luigi. Cons: he does not have colors like purple, wool(wooly world)and craft(crafted world). Can't forget brown. Yeah. That's all that I can find that I don't like about him. He's just so cute and cool. Even in smash bros he's fun to play as!
The reason why is because Toad is the most annoying Mario Kart character with Baby Mario being the 2nd most annoying Mario Kart character.
I am glad that Yoshi is first on the list because he is and always will be my favourite Mario character because he's so adorable!

Toad is algoods. Although I reckon his mother doesn't dress him properly. Anyway this is a good character and deserves to be in MK.
Toad's the best, around. Nothing's ever gonna bring him down!
Out of all the male Mario characters Toad is my favorite he's so cute and kind energetic little guy

Kinda funny reading all the comments of the mouth breathing degenerates in the Luigi comment section blindly hate on poor Mario.
Try Wild Wing, looks just like a red Lamborghini!
He's the main character! You gotta love him!

I HATE when people like Mario just because he started the franchise and say that makes him a good character.Then turn around and say Mario is better than everyone else and Luigi sucks. Vote only for Luigi. He is better than Mario.
Luigi is the best! He is an all around, which makes him awesome, and he has great steering capabilities. I think he should be number 1 on this list! Enough' said, OK?
Luigi will have Amy Rose as his main Mario Kart rival due to their similarities.

He deserves more than how he's treated. I love Waluigi as my uncle.
Worthless filler who does nothing in the main series...
Waluigi haters suck

It's awesome she has been in every mario kart since Double Dash. And she really isn't that bad in the reaction area
If you played as Daisy in Double Dash you'll never forget her name!
Loud and obnoxious. That's all Daisy is.

He's cute. The royal koopa shell item in double dash made Jr one of my mains since.
The main reason why he's better than Bowser is because he's very cute.
My favorite since Double Dash.

Funky Kong is my favourite character of time, why is he not in MK8DX, he better be in MK9, but knowing Nintendo it will be called Mario kart 8 extra deluxe.
The best things about Funky Kong are:
- his sunglasses and bandana
- his Flame runner combo
- he's OP
- he is in MKW, the best Mario kart
Why do people always say Funky Kong is overrated, he deserves to be to be called the best Mario Kart character of all time.
He's statistically the fastest character in Mario Kart Wii, and you've got to admit he's pretty hilarious. I also love how Funky Kong's MKW stats have helped a bit to bring him out of obscurity.
Funky Kong is awesome and cool! I wonder why it did never return...

He looks cooler than Bowser, he plays better than Bowser, and he's of of the main stars in the stories written by Yoshizilla-Rhedosaurus. He's my kind of dragon.
I love this guy and Rosalina sucks so badly ROB should of been on the game.
Dry Bones is cool but Dry Bowser may be there too!

Are you Serious? What is Dry bones doing at #24 he needs to be in th top 5. He's awesome with the bullet bike in Mariokart Wii. He got replaced by baby rosalina so he better be in Mario kart 9
I don't know why but I find dry bones so gosh-darned cool.
To me, Dry Bones is the best character ever!

How is Baby Luigi better than Peach? Explain your logic please.
Peach is claimed to be:
-short tempered/bossy.
-weak/helpless.
-lazy.
What Peach REALLY is:
-Capable of defending herself (idiots who haven't actually researched her don't know this Because they wanna fill their top ten reasons to hate Peach with crappy reasons because they don't have enough valid reasons to hate her).
-Overhated (people call Rosalina underrated now because of recent hate yet Peach's popularity hasn't changed at all).
-A first place winner for the most used woman in gaming.
To top it off, she's one place higher than a person only featured in an arcade version.
I don't understand why peach gets so much hate. She is literally one of my favorite characters, and her kart it very easy to control but at the same time is very fast. I've won tournaments using only Peach. Yoshi is the best I won't argue that but Peach definitely deserves to be higher on this list.

Don't you hate it when people stop playing as Waluigi or Bowser Jr or R.O.B and play as crappy characters like Tanooki Mario and Pink Gold Peach and Honey Queen? Well, here's the leader of the whole ' lot: Metal Mario.
Let's be honest, people. He's only a power up from SM64 and is worse than people snooping around your house and is starting to stink. Characters I would RATHER play as:
Waluigi
Diddy Kong
King Boo
R.O.B
Bowser Jr
Dry Bones
Wiggler
Link
Paratroopa ETC.
I hate it when people rant on about Pink Gold Peach but turn around and like Metal Mario. Metal Mario is basically the root of all the garbage. Think about it: Cat Peach, Tanooki Mario, and obviously the atrocious Pink Gold Peach all came after him. They are all similar results. They're clones, obscure references, or just lazy pieces of garbage that came after a similar result.
Mario but it is a Repaint.

People please stop hating on her this list is about Mario Kart not characters you don't like.
You say Peach was made up.
Yet Rosalina is a stupid ass star raping princess Peach clone.
Rosalina & Inky (the light blue ghost from the Pac-Man series) would be great arch-rivals!

I am trying to get Toadette and it is harder than you might think, but I've heard about how awesome she is.
Toad and toadette are the best!
Top 5
5 Mario
4 Luigi
3 Yoshi
2 Toadette
1 Toad
She is very cute and it's sad she wasn't in mario kart 7 but SHE IS BACK in 8 And tour

In the Luigi's Mansion series, King Boo serves as the main antagonist and Luigi's arch-nemesis. He is depicted as gargantuan, even larger than his Super Mario counterpart, with darker eyes,... read more
He is the king of all ghosts. How can King Boo not be awesome?
YAY King Boo as a racer! This character made me laugh, because if you drift in Mario Kart WII, he shows his tongue! :D funny moments!
I like his lucky 7 in the game and how cute he looks, he is one of my favorite characters in mario kart and other games

This is the version of Dry Bones but with a skin.
Yeah whatsoever.
He and his circuit together are probably the best in town!
I'm surprized how many people hate this guy how can you?

Nintendo: let's think of the last Mario kart 8 character. Let's see, birdo, king boo, diddy Kong, nabbit, One guy in Nintendo: I know! Let's make peach but metal and sprayed with pink gold! She' go nice with metal Mario. Nintendo: okay, pink gold peach is the new character! Me: seriously Nintendo! She's horrible! Have you seen the backlash?! Nintendo: everyone likes her! Me: yeah, sure. Everyone likes her. (Sarcasm) you could at least make it a costume. Actually, you could do that with cat peach! And baby peach. And baby Mario! And metal Mario! I bet Nintendo will make more clones like baby wario, baby waluigi, baby bowser, baby yoshi, metal luigi, and pink gold daisy, fire mario, fire peach, All taking there own character slots! Why can't you just make the clones a costume! I would rather play as the sign in super Mario 64 then pink gold peach! I hate that one guy in Nintendo who thought of her
Stupid character just like Metal Mario what will be next Emerald Luigi and Orange Bronze Daisy?
I grew up playing the classic Mario games and never gave a Damn about the koopalings, especially this turd colored one here. All seven suck elephant anus.
Morton or Cat Peach are my main characters in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and they are great.
I hate moron Morton. Annoying meathead with no class...

Dude, the first Mario game was called Donkey Kong! Make him higher, please

Bowser isn't that popular anymore I don't know what happened to him but I still love him.
Bowser is so cool but behaves very much like Shadow the Hedgehog, who SUCKS!
Why are Bowser's bones ahead of him?

Yes, you can play as him on the arcade games, but those are too irrelevant to the series to put anything to do with those on this list. The only way Pac-Man is relevant to the series is that you can use your Pac-Man Amiibo as a suit for your Mii in Mario Kart 8.
He has only been featured in the arcade games (GP2 had a super bland Rainbow Road with nowhere to fall off). Face it, the only reason you have him here is nostalgia.
Yes, he has! He's been in the arcade version in 2005 and 2007!

I love his special item in Tour.

He's back in Tour!
Bring him back

How dare you put shy guy this low! Look at his cute little face. He should at least be somewhere in the top 5.
Why's there so much hate? This Guy's awesome. Although I do wonder what's on the other side of his mask...
Shy Guy should be so much higher on this list! At least put him above Metal Mario!

Ha, a tanooki is a racoon dog but anyways I really like this character. I never cared for Mario but I do like Tanooki Mario. He should be top 10 at least not #44! That's my opinion anyway. Have a Good day!
I love tanooki Mario I even have a toy of that character!
I only like him because someone I know calls him "Bok Choi". Don't ask why.
