(Almost) Everyone is Here!

Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Pauline, and Peachette are coming to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in Wave 6! (Almost) every fan-favorite character is finally in the game! Who are you looking forward to the most?

[@theoldfashionedgamerguy665]

It's weird that Diddy Kong wasn't already in the game.

[@exxitzero]

Facts

[@theshadowworld2239]

Yet they added Birdo first.

[@panwasacz2733]

​@@theshadowworld2239but people like birdo

[@crazycarlos08]

They had to make room for Pink Gold Peach

[@violetrose674]

And Pauline.

[@danielharding8048]

Funky, Diddy and Pauline: *join* Everyone: YEEEESSSS! 🥳 Peachette: *joins* Everyone: 😐

[@FunkyOverload]

The 3 Peachette fans:🤣 Everyone Else:🤨

[@_-Muffet-_]

I would have love to seen ma boy King Bob-omb. But i'm okay.

[@PeachyluvsU]

Love how everyone hates Peachette here since she's just a clone of Toadette, honestly, I don't like Peachette, so I don't disagree with people who hate her

[@TheGuitarGathering]

Shes fine its just that the other 3 are wayyyyyy better

[@PeachyluvsU]

True, The others are way better, lots of people don't even know who the fuck Peachette is

[@supergalaxybros3781]

FUNKY KONG 🔥🗣️

[@luigimario5114]

You forgot Paratroopa when mentioning characters that didn’t make it

[@exxitzero]

That's true. There are also a few characters from Tour I could have mentioned.

[@joseluistrejo1683]

​@@exxitzeroAnd you forgot Donkey Kong Jr too.

[@InvertedGamez]

I was totally blindsided this announcement! 4 characters in Wave 6! I'm really happy we're getting Pauline and I'm happy for the Diddy and Funky fans. Also Peachette is cute, love her shoes haha. I feel like no one expected to see Daisy Circuit and honestly I'm cool with it, it's a fun track! I'm really hoping to see SNES Bowser Castle 3, DS Airship Fortress, and GCN DK Mountain make it in this wave, then all my favorite tracks will be in the game!

[@Derpmaster13]

Airship Fortress lost its chances, but I still have hopes for SNES Bowser Castle 3, GCN DK Mountain, and Wii Rainbow Road

[@InvertedGamez]

@@Derpmaster13 Yeah I know.. but a man can dream!

[@user-xo3hw6bb9k]

@@Derpmaster13I think GBA Bowser Castle 4 will replace SNES Bowser Castle 3

[@Derpmaster13]

@@user-xo3hw6bb9k If it does, then I'll be even more happy

[@Fabian_TheProYT]

@@Derpmaster13Wish granted! :D

[@chilldedede]

R.O.B: am i a joke to you?

Rip rob

[@nathanbyberg]

Really hyped to see Pauline! I’ve been asking her to come to MK8D since Birdo was revealed

[@KO-cozy]

My Idea for the Roster. Diddy & Funky will share the same spot. Peachette will share a spot with Pink Gold Peach or just regular Peach & Pauline will have the bottom spot. Clearing things up. Hopefully I'm Right.

[@chandy2763]

⁠@hiilikepizza3197maybe dk and funky will share spots, peach, peachette, and pink gold peach will share a slot, and diddy and pauline will have their own

[@CertifiedSoapEater]

There was a leak saying that tanooki mario and cat peach would become costumes, which would free up to spots on the roster to go to Pauline and peachette

[@plushcom775]

I think you might be wrong

[@Fabian_TheProYT]

You’re absolutely… WRONG!

[@FloridaSportsFan19]

I'm just only excited for Pauline. As for Peachette I know a lot of people say that she's a clone of Peach but at least she's more unique than Pink Gold Peach and has been in the main line mario games as a power up for Toadette. But at the same time I still like Peachette too.

[@nooginaso]

I was not disappointed with this expect for one thing and that is Peachette only because there is now 4.. Peaches… in the game.. Could’ve gave my boy Rob a chance.. also I hope they either add N64 Bowser’s Castle or Rainbow Road (Wii) also can’t wait to have PTSD from all the funky Kong’s like back in the day. Lol.

[@violetrose674]

Peachette is more an extension of Toadette than Peach

[@nooginaso]

@@violetrose674 Oh yeah I know that, But technically still a Peach bro, Just saying wish they would’ve show some love to Waluigi or something y’know? I mean least they could for him not being a playable character in Smash bros.

[@BokoblinBoy]

I am so excited especially for Diddy and Funky

[@marvelstarwarsfan8410]

and Also Pauline in mk8!

[@DomicDrift]

Rob is all I need in my life, and Queen Bee I'd prefer to be replaced with Chain Chomp cause funni

[@CertifiedSoapEater]

This confirms the cat peach and tanooki mario becoming alts leak, as they both become alts to free up space for Pauline and peachette

[@harrybest2041]

What leak?

[@alfredoandfriends]

I'm really excited to see these characters to be in Mario kart 8 especially Funky Kong since his last appearance was in 2008 which was Mario kart wii

[@lucreion]

Who the hell care for queen bee

[@anthonydouglas_2003]

I think honey queen should have been added over Peachette because she just seems like a waste of a character

[@toadboy4]

I do agree, we don’t need 5 peaches and as someone who grew up with MK7, I would like to see it’s roster complete

[@Derpmaster13]

ROB Fans including me: 😭

[@theshadowworld2239]

Rest in peace.

[@SuperbitGamer-db6iw]

The developers confirmed that they wanted to add Diddy Kong in Mario Kart 8 but couldn't due to time constraints

[@neftycr5799]

I think they shoulda added Captain Falcon to mk8. They already have the blue falcon and big blue might as well put him in

[@alijahroman7298]

Peachette has destroyed Mario Kart 8! Nintendo will be sued!

[@volt5481]

Cmon Nintendo, last chance to add a 96 race versus 8)

[@MichaelJacksonConspiracy]

I think Nintendo will add more characters when they release wave 6, I mean we were supposed to have 6 more characters and now we have 8 characters - could this mean that we might have 4 more characters incoming

[@CertifiedSoapEater]

I feel like if they do it they might add a row instead of a column to make sure the roster isn’t cramped

[@Quick2402]

No king bob omb, the game is ruined.

[@SplashyMatteo]

Its weird that they added 4 characters instend of 2 because of the spots, but good decision honestly, we wont have a lot of drama

[@juanpablocuenca8488]

Metan al Sora

[@Johnny300-]

Im glad they chose Daisy Circuit. Seriously underrated mkwii track imo

[@InvertedGamez]

Wow same picture y'all!

[@chromxrobinandcorrinxcamil9031]

They just can’t move on from MK8 now, can they…?

[@maxluvsmusic]

well this is the last wave, so no. they can’t move on just yet.

[@toadboy4]

Didn’t expect to see a Fire Emblem fan here!

[@TdwtK]

Maybe instead of adding 2 more slots (it would look very unpolished), they could make Peachette and Funky Kong skins for Peach and DK

[@borgus11]

thats what i was thinking

[@LilMaguizy]

They wouldn’t make funky Kong a skin

[@TdwtK]

@@LilMaguizy they probably would, since no other characters in wave 6 (besides Peachette or Funky) match up with other character models, and also Link has drastic changes in his costume swaps, so it would make sense for them to be costumes.

[@LilMaguizy]

@@TdwtK funky is too popular just to be a swap

[@TdwtK]

@@LilMaguizy people would still use him though

[@IsaiahJ420]

SUPER EXCITED
