New Sonic on Foot Driver in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

[@rollbustah]

Sonic if he decided to say "screw it" and just start cheating.

[@IllusiveDev]

At least he gave them a chance by not boosting.

They told him it was ok.There’s a reason why they’re playing with items.

[@falloutboy1379]

If he used his full boost the blue shell wouldn't even be able to hit him

Wow this is way better than the old mario kart wii mod. He doesn’t seem to awardly teeter around and he own custom animations. I love how they gave him his unleashed drift animation. Chefs kiss

Pros and cons actually. The Wii version has some unique animations that I wasn't able to add into 8 due to limitations.

[@d.s.s.9935]

probably would have been better if they used the generations drift honestly, that already had a hop like mario kart drifts do

[@leilaclarridge5807]

Sonic trolls Mario, who invited him to join in on a round of races, by “forgetting” his hoverboard/car.

[@rubylikessonic2]

My head cannon is that the week before, sonic wanted to race on foot but mario wouldn't let him, and they just argued about it, then on the day, sonic shows up like "oops, forgot my car, guess I'll just have to do it on foot" all sarcastically

Thank you for showcasing my mod! Edit: For anyone seeing this in the future, I agree with most of your comments about animations he should have, but unfortunately I'm limited by what's hard-coded in MK8D. I've tried making a version over characters as they have a lot more animations, but ran into hard-coded issues there as well. Ultimately, this was the best solution.
