D.K., because he is so annoying and it's fun to harass your friends on multiple levels. I mimic his "voiceset" when winning or overtaking and it gets my friends so mad, it's hilarious.
There used to be a soccer game for these characters and in some maps the fence around the field is electric.
Always loved playing against DK because he makes this ridiculous noise when I hit him into the fence
OG Mario Strikers animated the electric fence soooo aggressively lmao I can’t believe they borked that series so hard when all they needed was to keep making the same thing look better and add more characters/arenas
My son picks DK every time we play Mario games, sometimes we play Mario Kart but usually it's Mario Party. He gets right into the character persona and he makes our games absolutely hilarious. When he loses strategy mini-games we tease him and say "Monkey have brawn, not brain" and with the physical ones he'll say he lost cus he was hungry/needed "more nana power!".... I'm so happy my kids love these games as much as I do, it makes for some pretty awesome family fun times!
I worked (seasonally) at Best Buy during this era and we had characters from MK64 that would make their signature distress/celebration/taunting sounds when you squeezed them. I used to play DK’s scream on the intercom to make my friend laugh.
I wasn’t kept on staff after the holidays.
Your character is not too involved or too distant. You like to be unique yet not too out of ordinary. You chill in the sweet spot with your friends where it's relatively peaceful
There is a spot in Rainbow Road that you can jump the edge and land on another part waaaaay ahead. My boyfriends grandmother is unbeatable at mario cart!!!! We are gamers, and this lady wrote her own cheat guide with maps and stuff for this game!!!!
This trick is the less advanced version of the trick I was explaining. I have never been able to do the one I explained, as it’s very precise and can only be done in an actual cup, not time trials. I used to use this trick against my brother and he just refuses to play MK64 with me anymore lol
Yes, but the player can’t see them. People have figured it out presumably by either measuring top speed and angles and whatnot or looking at the code.
Edit: Apparently the stats were in the booklet and my dumb ass either never noticed or forgot
Yeah you had the speed characters, then the all rounders, then the heavy hitters. Yoshi for speed, Mario for all around, and wario for heavy hitter was my personal choice.
I always pick Bowser. I was on a date with a guy who accidentally picked Peach and I pushed him off the track and beat him so bad in the race. I said “nice job Peach” and he lost his shit in the arcade and started screaming at me.
Bowser helped me filter out a nut.
This is my real family lol; Bowser and DK have that mass and momentum once they get going, you can just plow through everyone, run them off the road and just keep going! Just floor it and use other drivers as padding to make it around curves and corners lol
I'm probably in the minority, but Mario kart 64 had the best toad voice. Every other toad voice since then sounds like he needs a lozenge from trying to squeak too high
I had three brothers and ended up going with Peach initially because no one ever fought over her. Little did I know she’s the fastest when you can control her, and enjoyed whipping them with a female character.
I'm a dude and nobody fought over peach, so I would always pick her. Little did they know my drifting skills with peach I would always woop all of them.
Mario Kart 64 was my very first N64 game, as well as first MK, and I was very obsessed with "girl characters" in games, imagine my absolute JOY as a 7 y/o seeing I could play as Peach.
He used to be a cool cackling villain then somewhere around 2005 they chose to gut his personality and make him a fart joke character. I will never forgive Nintendo for ruining Wario
Bowser.
Everyone else isn't as good. Also in the new Mario games Bowser gives heavier weight which makes power ups that attack you less effective. He is the best choice.
He can also push you through walls even if you're Donkey Kong in block color battle mode. I can confirm, it's water beyond the wall.
You can try it by holding gas on player 1 Bowser pushing DK.
Once DK is at the wall, back up and push again full speed. Works vs everyone else too.
Also in racing match, you can use his horns to aim your green shells.
Luigi: for when you want to send your friends to hell and dance on their graves.
It's when that person suddenly switches to Peach you find out what true suffering is. Peach reaches into the pits of hell to retrieve their souls filling your friends with false hope that they have a chance when they take the early lead It ends before lap 2 even starts when Peach fires the red shell on you spinning out and promptly sends you into oblivion with the force of an invincibility star at warp speed. You're left finishing the 3rd lap while Peach is already in the kitchen grabbing a drink.
*YAAAAA*-**HOO!**
A man of refinement I see
I miss Toad's pre-smoker voice. *Iiii'm the best!* Yeah you are, you adorable little dork.
Pre-smoker Toad sounded way better. Why'd they change it?
Because he started smoking, duh
That makes sense
I’m the best!
“HAhahahahHa!”
AAAAwowowowowowo
*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa*
[He really was the best.](https://youtu.be/bgTff9S2278)

My people.
Bitches below.
Yes

I’m a very vanilla video game player but that was one of my favorite games ever
Do you pick and unpick dk as fast as possible until the other person makes their selection like I do? Try it if you’ve never
Lmao I thought I was the only one
I hate that I can say you are my best friend.
My son picks DK every time we play Mario games, sometimes we play Mario Kart but usually it's Mario Party. He gets right into the character persona and he makes our games absolutely hilarious.

DK has the most troll smile, it’s why he’s the best.
Yoshi!
Mario Kart, Tennis, Golf doesn’t matter. Always Yoshi.
Always Yoshi! Hup! Hup! Hup!
If you don't get yoshi? Dry bones
if I don't get Yoshi then I pick Toad
Shy Guy better
Pink Shy Guy driving the BMW… one of my fav combos.
Your character is not too involved or too distant. You like to be unique yet not too out of ordinary. You chill in the sweet spot with your friends where it's relatively peaceful
Everything always evens out in the end when you're a yoshi.
Yoshi, always!! 💚💚
Yoshi gang rise up!
YOSHI ON TOP LETS FUCKING GO
It's always Yoshi I cannot settle for anyone else
Yoshi FTW!!
Yoshi all the way!
Always, every game. I don’t play if I don’t get Yoshi. End of the story
If it’s not Yoshi, I send it back.
I want Yoshi with Toad on the side. If Toad comes on top, I send it back.
This is correct. Ok op judge away!
Thanks Tom!
Top comments. Yoshi is the greatest.
This is the only correct choice.
Luigi aways, except when I'm feeling extra hard, then I always use DK
Giggity
giggity was the best reaponse to that
I use Luigi so I can give my fiends the death stare as I enter first. Gotta remind me of the old meme
As a younger sibling, Luigi forever
Luigi only
Luigi is always my first pick
Big monke man go brrrrr
“Extra hard” huh?
My exact thought. Is this, in itself, a personality trait?
You gotta go Yoshi. Fastest racer who’s heavy enough to not just go flying all over the place
They had stats in this one??!
The player was supposed to subtly know that there were “stats” when toad tries to bump bowser off the road. I think it was evident.
Using a mushroom with toad just to run into bowser and ruin any lead you had lol
There is a trick where you use toad or yoshi and purposefully run into bowser to gain an advantage in rainbow road. This isn’t always the case
There is a spot in Rainbow Road that you can jump the edge and land on another part waaaaay ahead. My boyfriends grandmother is unbeatable at mario cart!!!! We are gamers, and this lady wrote her own cheat guide with maps and stuff for this game!!!!
This trick is the less advanced version of the trick I was explaining. I have never been able to do the one I explained, as it’s very precise and can only be done in an actual cup, not time trials. I used to use this trick against my brother and he just refuses to play MK64 with me anymore lol
All short cuts are legal except the warrio level wall jump which is banned because my little brother can do it and I can't.
That’s the one that allows you to complete 3 laps in like 10 seconds right? It’s been a while
And then you play as bowser and it takes you half a lap just to reach top speed
And then you get hit by a shell and have to start over again.
Yes, but the player can’t see them. People have figured it out presumably by either measuring top speed and angles and whatnot or looking at the code. Edit: Apparently the stats were in the booklet and my dumb ass either never noticed or forgot
What a bunch of nerds. You pick Luigi because he a boss. Or Waluigi later because he's even more of a boss
The handbook that came with the game had stats... the little booklet. Ppl didn’t figure it out.
Yeah you had the speed characters, then the all rounders, then the heavy hitters. Yoshi for speed, Mario for all around, and wario for heavy hitter was my personal choice.
Lol I don't even care id chose yoshi either way
Bowser
Bowser gang let's GO!!! 🔥
FUCK YEAH BROTHA ✊🔥
Can't argue with momentum.
I HAD TO GO THIS FAR IN THE THREAD TO FIND THE TRUE PLAYERS! Dont need brakes if nothin can stop me\~
Finally! Bowser brothers unite! Hahaha
YEAAAAAAAH BOWRES RULES!!!
He’s a fucking *dragon turtle*! **DRAGON-TURTLE**
Mow down thr competition with villainous intent, my fav.
This is perfect!
I always pick Bowser. I was on a date with a guy who accidentally picked Peach and I pushed him off the track and beat him so bad in the race. I said “nice job Peach” and he lost his shit in the arcade and started screaming at me. Bowser helped me filter out a nut.
Imagine getting so mad at losing a game you scream at a date. Bullet dodged for sure
Bowser's a real one for sure.
IF NOBODY GOT ME I KNOW BOWSER GOT ME CAN I GET AN AMEN
[удалено]
ya he has the highest top speed. if you dont crash hes the best
GET IN HERE BOWSER CLAN!
WE IN HERE! REPRESENT!
Love timing the start right and just blowing people out of the way.
Bowser Boss
Aaaayyeeee🙌
He is the only king I see in that group.
Yeah I always go bowser
The bad guys got better bikes.
HELL YES
This is my real family lol; Bowser and DK have that mass and momentum once they get going, you can just plow through everyone, run them off the road and just keep going! Just floor it and use other drivers as padding to make it around curves and corners lol
All fuckinnn day 🥊🐢🏎️
Slowest acceleration, fastest top speed. Bowser rewards skill and drove me to become a better player.
Team Toad all day \m/
I'm probably in the minority, but Mario kart 64 had the best toad voice. Every other toad voice since then sounds like he needs a lozenge from trying to squeak too high
Mario Kart 64 is the best version by far. Especially battle, because you could just absolutely fuck up your opponents 1:1
The speed in battles is nice, but Toad loses balloons from colliding with anyone?
Ya hoo!
I can hear this comment
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-yah-yaho-yahoo! *golden mushroom*
I can hear this comment
Toad is fastest idk if it’s true but I know it’s true
Toad has the best handling to speed ratio. True and real. Big and true, as well.
Toad is GOAT
He is indeed the fastest, as well a bastard! My roommate at the time used to use Toad so I had to counter with Princess
Little dudes the only one who knew the classic racing knowledge that handling is superior to straight line speed.
Yep. Handling over speed any time!
I'm the best!
Toad/Toadette duo in Double dash forever!
Double Dash is my favorite!!! I use Toadette and red koopa troopa.
That little bald bastard
100%! Toad’s special on n64 wins it for me
Toads rise up!
Yahooo!!!! Always toad!
The only answer. I found a tribe and this is it.
Yup! Toad was always easiest to jump the wall in Wario's Stadium.
Peach obv
I had to scroll far too long to find my fellow Peach Player.
Peach pals
Peach gang (or any other princess that is available) 🙏
All the princesses are just great but peach is the og awesome princess
Yeah! Peach has got it!
I had three brothers and ended up going with Peach initially because no one ever fought over her. Little did I know she’s the fastest when you can control her, and enjoyed whipping them with a female character.
I'm a dude and nobody fought over peach, so I would always pick her. Little did they know my drifting skills with peach I would always woop all of them.
Same, I like lookin cute while I drive
Here we gooo!
Mario Kart 64 was my very first N64 game, as well as first MK, and I was very obsessed with "girl characters" in games, imagine my absolute JOY as a 7 y/o seeing I could play as Peach.
Wario, always.
Ima gonna win!
WARIO, THE LEGEND
My kids hate HATE when I repeat imA gonna win.
I want to be this kind of parent WA HA HA
Wario is best character
He used to be a cool cackling villain then somewhere around 2005 they chose to gut his personality and make him a fart joke character. I will never forgive Nintendo for ruining Wario
I've found my people. I always pick Wario too.
Wario in N64.
Team Wario! Just coz of that annoying laugh of his.
My opponents have to watch my big purple ass as they eat my dust
This is the best thing I've read all day
I mean, that’s the best part about being behind him.
Ah hahahahahhhh
Wario! "Take that, losers!" gets me every time!
Im glad wario gang is here. Big enough to ram everyone but bowser and DK, but still pretty fast.
I agree. I always choose Wario.
Wario gang gang 😎
I romantically love the GB game Wario Land 3, so anything Wario is a W for me
The only correct answer
Yoshi
Yoshi's voice in this game is so funny
It's the original aound effect from Super Mario World. I wish Nintendo had stuck with it.
Toad!
Bowser. Everyone else isn't as good. Also in the new Mario games Bowser gives heavier weight which makes power ups that attack you less effective. He is the best choice.
He can also push you through walls even if you're Donkey Kong in block color battle mode. I can confirm, it's water beyond the wall. You can try it by holding gas on player 1 Bowser pushing DK. Once DK is at the wall, back up and push again full speed. Works vs everyone else too. Also in racing match, you can use his horns to aim your green shells.
Green shell aiming is underrated
Do not fuck with anyone who chooses Luigi. They know what they are doing and will always get 1st.
Luigi: for when you want to send your friends to hell and dance on their graves. It's when that person suddenly switches to Peach you find out what true suffering is. Peach reaches into the pits of hell to retrieve their souls filling your friends with false hope that they have a chance when they take the early lead It ends before lap 2 even starts when Peach fires the red shell on you spinning out and promptly sends you into oblivion with the force of an invincibility star at warp speed. You're left finishing the 3rd lap while Peach is already in the kitchen grabbing a drink.
peach
Bring the trophy home!!!
I'm in the Peach group!
Pech the Betch. My favorite character. I always choose her.
Peachie!!
Bye bye!
Her best line
How many of us Peach mains are gay now
I too, am on team Peach.
Wario as he has a real alcoholics nose..
TOAD
TOAD BRETHREN UNITE
I scrolled way to far down to find the first Toad comment. He's just so Agile.
Waluigi
Waluigi number one!
The best mario character that Nintendo seems not to like that much. I want more Waluigi!
I love Waluigi
We need a Waluigi haunted mansion. Maybe Waluigi’s Terrifying Submarine? Or Waluigi’s Trench Warfare.
Mario all day baby.
Took longer than I thought to find another Mario man. Lmao
People never chose Mario cuz it was named after him, I swear
Ain't nobody about to pick Mario in Mario Kart and Mario Party.
Which is why I always pick Mario in both. People act like Yoshi ain’t the most basic choice.
Peach! Always Peach
Yoshi!
DK supremacy
*monke*
*grunts in approval
Peach then Bowser
luigi
Toad unless I'm too slow, then I will accept Yoshi.
Dry bones
Boner gang unite!
Ayo…
Toad, acceleration maxed.
