I always play Tanooki Mario because I am very in touch with my inner child lol. I love to think of Mario parachuting around with his balls, even if thats not the animation they went with :D
Who do you play and why?
Rosalina. She resonates extremely strongly with me. She’s genuinely how I’d love to look and stuff. Being pretty is cool, and she is massive and I love that. She’s a 7’3" space queen.
Bowser. Always have since og, always will.
If you’re picking to win, this is an excellent write-up: https://www.mayerowitz.io/blog/mario-meets-pareto
Wow, that’s a lot of work someone’s done
Yoshi.
I like Yoshi.
Waluigi because WALUIGI NUMBAH ONE MOTHERFUCKERS!!
Hello fellow Waluigi
oh hey Waluigi.
Wario, I’ma gonna winna!
But after 2024, Luigi became my favorite
how did that go?
Luigi

I always play Shy Guy. He’s cute and his sounds are absolutely hilarious and never get annoying to me. And I’m also super shy, so it all works out.
Luigi. Growing up I usually played Nintendo games only on a friend’s console, and was usually player 2. As I got my own consoles and games, I stuck with him out of loyalty and because he has a longer jump in some games. :D
Koopa or Toad. Because when I was little my big brother told me they were the best, and he beat me every time.
30odd years later, after like 10 iterations of the game, I still hold that knowledge to be unquestionably true enough to not bother playing anyone else ever.
Daisy because she’s the fastest mid-weighter on a bike
Boo. He’s always just so damned delighted to be included!
Started off with Toad in the original.
With Double Dash I moved on to Paratroopa / Koopa Troopa.
And with 8 I moved onto Shy Guy.
For the in-between games, I kept the same as the previous entry. Even though he’s not a light racer like the others, I switched to Shy Guy because I like the noises he makes.
I still love double dash. Such fun even with people who didn’t know how to drive.
Still our number one favourite.
Both me and my wife had a Gamecube. For my stag weekend, I hired a country house in Scotland and took both, networked them together, hooked each up to a projector and we played Double Dash with 8 players at a time. It was loads of fun!
That sounds exactly like the weekend I’d love.
Waluigi, because bwahahah, who’s your daddy!
I have played with experts and here is what they were doing:
- forget Kong or Bowser, they can’t accelerate, and if you’re hit, you’re dead
- get one fast enough with a decent acceleration
- ALWAYS DRIFT ALL THE TIME, it takes time to learn but that’s what pros do
- don’t take shortcuts, they are actually longer than the regular road, and even with the boosts on the road, you can’t drift properly
Drifting seems to be secret.
As for myself, I play any character that is not too slow. Mario is fun I guess, or it’s the nostalgia kicking in since I played it on the NES when it came out.
