Mario Kart: Which char did you use?

Not MK64 you nimwits, the original and the only one that matters. Assume I am talking about GP mode, not 1on1, time trial, or battle mode.

I personally went through a succession. First it was Yoshi (lol - he sucks). Then it was Mario (pretty good). Then Bowser (ill-fated, he sucks in actual races because once he is hit he is too slow). Then I finally settled on Koopa for his superior handling and decent acceleration.

For the time trials, generally Bowser was a good call if you didn't hit things because he has such a good top speed.

I was pretty little when I played that game .. always thought the characters were all the same [drivingwise]. So I rocked Yoshi, or Koopa/Toad.

I still got my NSES set up, usually play Mortal Kombat or NBA Jam TE .. maybe I should bust out the mario kart when I'm not drunk off my ass.

Goddamn it you guys are such NOOBS.

Yoshi is the worst driver in the game. Along with Princess. He is a good beginner's driver though.

Luigi; he has a mustache and is named "Luigi", no other justification necessary.

This is probably still my favourite game of all time.

I played Mario Kart every day in class on my laptop's SNES emulator throughout senior year of college.

Easy choise is Princess. Nintendo gave her a laid-in advantage over the other drivers so girls could compete with the boys who pick Toad and Yoshi. Women are naturally horrible drivers--something must be compensated to somehow level the playing field. Hence why Princess/Peach has superior handles/spead. Misogynist much? Maybe. But I never lose with Princess/Peach.

I don't care what Metro says about SNES, I wasn't raised in that era. With that said, Yoshi in MK64... best acceleration.

Jesus. Can the mods just lock this thread? Yoshi for fuck's sake? This is a disgrace to the developers at Nintendo.

Yoshi may be the poor man's Mario in the SNES game, but damn it if I didn't use him all the time. I never claimed to be great at the game, either. I was just in it for the death matches. Those were the shit. They somehow managed to fuck that element up in subsequent Mario Kart versions, and the franchise lost a lot of its magic for me.

Toad or Koopa.

MK 64 kinda sucked, and the Wii version kinda sucked, but Double Dash was good. Toad + Koopa ftw.
