Does Nabbit not count for a new addition to the cast?

Also Nabbit for Smash!

[up] Nabbit was added to Mario Kart Tour, and he did make appearances in two Mario & Luigi games. Plus I think he was added to that Mario LEGO thing a few months back.

So... yeah, I guess he counts.

Would Toadsworth count as a prominent Mario character?

He probably would, if he hadn't just disappeared after NSMB1.

[up]His appearances seemed rather consistent from 2002-2009, but pretty much drops off after Bowser's Inside Story.

I think the most recent thing he was in was the Superstar Saga remake, which shouldn't really count, since it's not technically a new game.

Has he been playable in other games or was sluggers his only playable appearance?

Stanley the Bugman mainline appearance when.

(Stanley being the ultimate forgotten character has been a running joke since Neglected Mario Characters was relevant. Holy shit.)

I was kind of hoping Toadsworth would make a reappearance in the upcoming movie, but to quote one of the Mushroom Kings after Mario turns them back to normal while wearing the Hammer Bros. suit, "No Dice? What a drag."

My biggest excitement is because of the MK8 tracks. Looking forward to Bangkok Rush, DK Summit, Riverside Park and the new Yoshi's Island.

And hey, DD fans are finally happy to see a track from that game added; good for them. [tup]

I haven’t gotten Party Superstars yet. So maybe I’ll get that one when the discount starts

[up]Really, Superstars needs some DLC like Mario Kart is getting right now. It's a fun enough party game but it's kinda limited content wise, despite having ten games to pick material from.

Wave 4 is looking good (though surprised they picked DS Mario Circuit over Figure 8, I mean the latter is PERFECT for Mario Kart 8).

I'm a little disappointed only one new character, even if it is one of my favourites. Kamek would have been a perfect choice for this one. Suggests we're only getting about three new characters, while Deluxe could use a real spruced up roster really. Make those last ones count, Nintendo.

Figure 8 circuit is legit one of the worst tracks in the series so I’m not surprised it’s not in.

They did say there'll be more characters besides Birdo, though I hope we get more than 2 (a.k.a. more tha 1 per remaining wave).

I'm indifferent regarding Mario Circuit, but maaaaan I've seen some knee-jerk rants all over the place regarding its inclusion. The track is actually more interesting than Toad Circuit or the SNES Mario Circuits, IMO.

Yeah but Mario Circut isn’t gonna be compared to those tracks. It’s gonna be compared to other DS tracks.

#19698: Mar 2nd 2023 at 12:59:34 PM

I do like DS Mario Circuit (hope we get a good remix of its theme), just surprised they missed the too-good-to-be-true track premise, or at the very least made their own potentially more exciting Figure 8 Circuit.

And yeah I'm hoping we get more than three characters, I don't expect anything on Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fuelled's level of almost every noteworthy character, but it'd be neat to have something near Tour's level, with most of the past racers and some other recognisable ones. Would really amp up Deluxe as this ultimate Mario Kart.

If we just get Birdo and the two Kongs though, I'm willing to say the roster is at least fairly colourful now.

Afaik, datamining indicated only one more DS track was coming to the Booster Course Pass. So that last DS track being Mario Circuit over fan-favorites like Airship Fortress or Delfino Square was never going to go over well.

Although the Boomerang Cup having two city Tour tracks bothers me more personally. Tracks that are just real-life locations never really appealed to me, and the Boomerang Cup is the lamest looking lineup of the DLC so far.

I can kinda see why they're doubling down on Tour representation because it was made after Mario Kart 8 so lacks any tracks in the original game. Gotta even it out I guess. All the locations also just tend to have this big grand world premise to them that I suppose they might find fits the booster course event as well.
