Top 10 Best Mario Kart 7 Characters

The Top Ten
  1. Shy Guy

    Shy Guys are recurring enemies in the Mario and Yoshi video game series. They are known for wearing masks that hide their faces. These characters have appeared in various games, often acting in different roles such as enemies, racers, and sports players.

    In my opinion, Shy Guy is the best character in the game by far. The rest are annoying (Wario, Daisy, Toad) and stupid (Metal Mario, Lakitu, Honey Queen, Wiggler). I don't care about the rest. Get Yoshi out of this list. He is overrated. I can't believe that people put that Barney wannabe above this awesome character.

    I agree. Shy Guy is just one of the better characters along with Diddy Kong, Toad, Toadette, and Yoshi. Plus, he rides smooth.

    I was so happy to see Shy Guy Falls as a new course in Mario Kart 8! Shy Guy Falls is awesome!

  2. Yoshi

    Yoshi, once romanized as Yossy, is a fictional anthropomorphic dinosaur featured in video games published by Nintendo. He often appears as a sidekick and helper to Mario, playing key roles in many of Nintendo's most popular titles. Yoshi is especially well known for his appearances in the Yoshi's Island... read more

    Everything is better with Yoshi! He's cool. Even though I don't play as him in this game, at least he's not as annoying as Peach!

    My finest setup is with the Pipe Frame, the roller wheels, and the Swooper. He is excellent at stats, and he goes for the win.

    His drifting, control, and acceleration make him a very easy and fun character to use.

  3. Koopa Troopa

    Koopa Troopas, or simply Koopas, known in Japan as Nokonoko, are a fictional race of turtle-like creatures from the Mario series and its sister series, Yoshi. They most often appear as common ground enemies. Over time, Koopa Troopas have become one of the most recognizable and recurring enemy types in... read more

    Koopa Troopa has good acceleration and speed, which is a great combination. Furthermore, he looks cool. That is why I used him to complete all the cups and why I think he is the best. I also like Yoshi and Toad, but to a lesser extent.

    Oh yeah, he should be in the top 2 with Lakitu. He's the best, and I love his tricks and voice. At least he returned in Mario Kart 8.

    Your boy makes the coolest sounds when he races!

  4. Metal Mario

    Metal Mario is a character that appears in both the Mario series and the Super Smash Bros. series. He first appeared in the Nintendo 64 version of Super Smash Bros. Although he resembles Mario when using a Metal Cap, Metal Mario is treated as a separate character in the fighting games. He has a heavier... read more

    He's statistically among the best to play as. He has the same speed benefits as the heavy characters while fitting into a medium-sized kart frame, which makes dodging items and other hazards much easier.

    A lot of people think Metal Mario sucks, but almost every time trial was beaten by Metal Mario!

    He's the coolest and the best. Play as him once and you'll know for sure!

  5. Princess Rosalina

    Since I play as Toad, the rivals I have are Peach, the annoying pink brat, and... ROSALINA!? I can't go against her. She's my most favorite princess! She's so perfect in karts, and I already know I'm saddened to see myself doing an unexpected job. By the way, she's not annoying alongside Daisy, am I correct?

    Rosalina has accurate speed and decent control. I think Rosalina's best combination is the Birthday Girl with roller tires and Peach Parasol. Metal Mario and Wario are my worst.

    Best girl right here. I used to play Metal Mario but got tired of him and his voice. Still a cool guy, though. A good setup for Rosie is slick wheels, the Swooper, and King Koopa's clown car.

  6. Toad

    Toad, known in Japan as Kinopio, is a major character in the Mario Bros. franchise. He assists Princess Peach in the Mushroom Kingdom and first appeared in Super Mario Bros. (1985). Toad is a recurring character in many Mario games, including New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 3D World, Captain Toad... read more

    Agree. That's one of the reasons why I main Toad. Another would be that he is so great I rarely even get in 2nd place. So I'll say this: all of you Toad lovers, you're the best alongside your favorite character, Toad!

    The reason I put Toad is he is cute, he is so small, and speed does NOT matter the most. Acceleration does, and his karts have the most acceleration. His best is the Bumble V with wood. YOU RULE AND ROCK, TOAD!

  7. Mii

    I don't like their sounds, but it's cool how they vary in size and shape, and save exactly the same way as in Mii Maker.

    The Mii is my favorite character. However, they made the Mii voices in this game sound awful.

    It's cool that you can race as your Mii. I don't get how you hate it.

  8. Luigi

    Luigi is a major character in video games and related media produced by Nintendo. He was originally introduced as a green-colored palette swap of Mario and is portrayed as Mario's younger, taller fraternal twin brother.

    Created by legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, Luigi appears in many... read more

    Luigi is by far the best character, and poor Luigi is always mistreated by others. Luigi should be number 1. Why is Shy Guy number one? He is terrible, and the same with Lakitu.

  9. Mario

    Mario, originally named Jumpman, is the main character of the Super Mario Bros. franchise and was created by Nintendo of Japan's game designer Shigeru Miyamoto. Mario appears in nearly every game in the series, including many spin-off titles, with a few exceptions such as New Super Luigi U, the Luigi's... read more

    He's fast too. He's the one (along with Nintendo) that made this happen.

    Mario should be at least in the top 2. He's the main star.

  10. Princess Daisy

    Princess Daisy is a fictional character in the Mario series of video games, where she is the princess of the fictional region of Sarasaland.

    Daisy debuted in Super Mario Land in 1989. After a few other appearances, she disappeared for nine years until she was brought back in Mario Tennis (2000).... read more

    Daisy has the best colors and a sassy attitude. She is fast, always gets a good result, and says, "Ok, not bad." She is pretty. Peach is better than 16th too, but Rosalina isn't good.

    She maintains the same awesome voice from Mario Kart Wii, and I'm about to call Daisy the #1 tomboy out of all of the tomboys in video game history!

    She's cool! Her voice is way better than Mario Kart Wii and she's a great character!

  11. The Newcomers
  12. ?

    Honey Queen

    Honey Queen, better known in Super Mario Galaxy as Queen Bee, is the queen of the honeybees. She is a very large bee who frequently speaks in nosism, referring to herself using plural pronouns. She appears in both Super Mario Galaxy games, ruling over the honeybees in three different galaxies, and also... read more

    Honey Queen has the fastest kart combinations, and I always win with her! So, please vote. She is and will always be 10 times better than Waluigi, Baby Rosalina, or Pink Gold Peach!

    Honey Queen deserves a much higher spot, especially in the Top 5. She's just adorable!

    Honey Queen is better than Waluigi! Get this character at least in the Top 10!

  13. ?

    Princess Peach

    Princess Peach is a major character in the Mario Bros. franchise. She is the lead female character in the series. She is usually the character who needs to be rescued in most Mario games, but she has also appeared as a playable character in main-series Mario games, including Super Mario 3D World, Super... read more

  14. The Contenders
  15. Bowser

    Bowser is the main antagonist of the Mario Bros. franchise. From kidnapping Princess Peach to disrupting games in the Mario Party spinoff series, this king of the Koopas has become a recurring enemy in the series. He first appeared in the 1985 video game Super Mario Bros., in which he kidnapped Princess... read more

    Imagine King Bowser with a British king's voice like in Mario Sunshine and Dorkly Bits. It sounds much better than his hyper-masculine, super-deep giant voice.

    Bowser is great! I use him plus Bruiser body, plus Mushroom Tires, plus Bat Glider! I have won all my races with him!

  16. Wario

    Wario is a character in Nintendo's Mario series who was originally designed as an antagonist to Mario. His motives are driven by greed, and he will often side with whoever offers him the greatest reward. Although typically portrayed as selfish and mischievous, Wario has become a central figure in his... read more

    He is funny. I like when he says "MOVE IT!"

  17. 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 game Super Mario Bros., where it throws Spinies from its cloud vehicle to challenge players. Since then, Lakitu has appeared in... read more

    Easily the best. I mean, he's been here since the start, and he's so cute. Lakitu is the best for sure. How could you hate him? He's just a little turtle in a cloud!

    Lakitu should definitely be higher than Metal Mario. I'm sick of those Metal Mario fanboys that go, "Ooh, Metal Mario is hot, he should be number 1. Duh!" Lakitu is leagues better.

    His vehicles have the best acceleration. So much better than the slow and boring Metal Mario.

  18. Wiggler

    Wigglers are a species of caterpillar in the Mario franchise. They have segmented bodies and comically large noses. Typically yellow and slow-moving when calm, they become red and charge aggressively when provoked, such as when the player jumps on them.

    Wiggler is the Mario Kart character we didn't know we needed. Wiggler is cute, unique, and a much more creative character to add, unlike some others. (I'm talking to you, Metal Mario.) I don't even care if Wiggler is a "non-optimal character." Wiggler holds a special place in my heart as I always thought its voice was really cute, and the overall experience was improved by the happiness and emotion Wiggler brought in comparison to the rest of the roster.

    Unfortunately, Wiggler is without a doubt the "underdog" of this game due to disrespect from a significant portion of the fanbase. Wiggler 100% deserved to return during the BCP, and it's my new main. Although I'm only a single voice and can't speak for everyone, I support your opinions and respect the dedication to enjoy characters like Yoshi, Luigi, Lakitu, and DK, even if they aren't "optimal characters."

    In conclusion, you can like any character you want and enjoy them on a personal level, but for me, Wiggler will remain my personal favorite.

  19. Donkey Kong

    Donkey Kong is an arcade game released by Nintendo in 1981. It is an early example of the platform game genre, as the gameplay focuses on maneuvering the main character across a series of platforms while dodging and jumping over obstacles. The game marked the debut of both Donkey Kong and Mario (originally... read more
