We all know it is coming. Let's discuss, shall we?

I would, personally, like to see a sequel to the GameCube version; Double Dash. Maybe add some of the Koopalings now that they have 3D models from New Super Mario Wii. Take out some of the babies, and if they keep Funky Kong from Wii they should put Dixie Kong in to even up to a second Kong team. Plus since they had (only) King Boo in Wii, replace him with Wiggler then have it and Petey Piranha on a team together.

Making the roster look something like this:
Light-
Toad & Toadette
Koopa Troopa & Paratroopa
Baby Mario & Baby Luigi
Lemmy Koopa & Wendy O. Koopa
Dry Bones & Shy Guy

Medium-
Mario & Luigi
Peach & Daisy
Yoshi & Birdo
Bowser Jr & Iggy Koopa
Diddy Kong & Dixie Kong

Heavy-
Wario & Waluigi
Petey Piranha & Wiggler
Bowser & Morton Koopa Jr
Rosalina & Lubba
Donkey Kong & Funky Kong

---
Mii & U (So you could have two Miis to a single kart)

31 Characters and you could put whoever you want on a team, like Mario Kart:Double Dash. This is just my opinion, feel free to post your thoughts. Any roster ideas, track ideas, etc. But please don't bash me if you do not like my idea. I am NOT trying to pass this off as fact or rumors. Again this is just my opinion and wishful-thinking.

Your idea, I must say, sounds quite awesome.
Also, welcome to the forums. It's good to see a new face now and then.

[nintendo3DS]

Sounds brilliant, but Mario Kart 7 isn't even out yet, and your already making ideas for Mario Kart 8? Bravo my friend.

[TahoeMario]

Thank you, Atsuro Kihara. I tried to keep it realistic, because sometimes you see some stuff like "I want [PlayStation exclusive character] in [Nintendo game]" or whatever and at a certain point its just kind of like Come on, that is ridiculous, haha you know?

@nintendo3ds ...Well, I mean this IS the Wii U Forums (right?) and the Wii U isn't even out yet so yeah. Besides, Mario Kart 7 comes out next month, I think.

Mario Kart 7 is coming out in December.

Personally, I don't think having Lemmy Koopa and Wendy Koopa team up is the greatest idea, more like Iggy and Lemmy koopa, as they were like twins in the DIC cartoons.

Yeah, but Iggy is taller than he's ever been in New Mario Bros Wii while Lemmy is still his same little ole self, haha. Besides I figured that there should be at least one more Small female; with taking out Baby Peach and Baby Daisy from Mario Kart Wii. Plus I left out Larry Koopa, Roy Koopa, and Ludwig von Koopa; where Larry would've made a better couple with Lemmy, imo. Then Wendy would be with Iggy, Roy and Morton then Bowser would be with Ludwig but I wanted to keep it at 4 Koopalings just to make an equalled-out roster, you know? 10 characters on each size

[bloop2424]

This ain't got no Kamek! I would also want DK Jr. and a third Mii Suit, possibly just another version of a racing suit...
I also want customizable mii voices.

[AMAC]

Another Double-Dash style game would be nice. I've only played it a few times, but it's one of the better Mario Kart games in my opinion. I'd rather be able to choose both characters though, rather than choosing a pair.

[Envy]

I never saw the appeal in Double Dash!'s two characters on a kart system.

I just want a better Mario Kart Wii - One with better item balance. I thought that Mario Kart Wii was perfect (minor things like strange character choices like Baby Daisy aside) aside from that.

[lazorzez]

This is probably the most believable roster I've seen in the history of Mario Kart character rosters, although you might as well add in the other 3 koopaling... Otherwise it would just seem weird.

Also, I think that the next game should let you switch between normal racing and double dash.

I can see your point.

Another thing that could be cool would be skins, like mario has two skins, his normal one, where he looks like normal, and the second skin, where he looks like he had used a fire flower.

[StreetPassWanter]

How about Double Dash, but you can choose both characters, be it Mario & Princess Peach, or Shy Guy & Luigi, etc. Also, they could form a little team name, like Mario & Luigi can be "Mario Brothers" and Princess Peach & Bowser can be "Royal Evil" How about it?

Also, I think that the next game should let you switch between normal racing and double dash.

Oh yeah, and this.

[akkaarrh]

I think it's time DK is cut from cameo games all together, but I suppose that's not a realistic suggestion. Double Dash! might've been refreshing, but I'd prefer it stay a one-off... it was one of the weakest titles in the franchise.

In my opinion, there should be greater emphasis on timing and item balance than luck, a tactic no MK game has fully grasped.

Really? Id say super circuit was...

I find that pretty funny; SS is my favorite Kart game. The gameplay and replay value really shine. A wonder, considering the limitations of the GBA.

Yeah... I do not understand why Super Circuit is so disliked. From what I've seen, people criticize it for horrible graphics, but that doesn't even make any sense to me. The graphics were amazing for a GBA game.

I was just ecstatic to have a portable Mario Kart, because back then that was unheard of. It was very solid, all things considered (and I actually prefer it over DD!). I'm very excited that it's a part of the Ambassador's Program as I lost the game many years ago. =(

A creative way to use the Wii U controller for this game is to track the weapons you have used. You could see if any body has ran into your banana or green shell and see where your red shell or blue shell has hit your target or not.

[zachalejandro]

i really like this idea you brought up. i am really lookin forward to mario kart 8 with all-new characters. I think they should add mr game & watch to race.

That's a great idea.
