Gold Mario isn't just a character, he's a status symbol

[@theelitegamer1980]

so what u need to do get 3 stars on every cup like rosalina on the wii? to me it's weird that you can unlock almost everything with coins and then need to play offline for something i might never use. gold mario must be a heavyweight i guess, only class i used but as far as the gold kart goes.. why isn't there a gold bike? since karts i don't use

I wish they done something similar to MARIOKART 7. Half of the roster in MK7 was unlock able through cups and I think personally it’s better having them as unlockables than just getting all 50 or whatever for free

hmmm, pro if you turn off weapons maybe.. you can also say wow you spend many hours on the game. i never even cared about 150cc, because i unlocked almost everything online.. and i never use karts so to unlock a golden kart for me is useless.. 200cc i never played they added it in the last dlc on wii u i think.. but kids decided to choose moo moo meadows 10x in 1 hour.. while i just bought rainbow road (and did not play offline) so i buy dlc to play old tracks.. it pissed me off and i never played again

I must admit, I did miss not having more unlockable characters in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I have fond memories of unlocking new characters in Mario Kart DS, playing for hours just to get Dry Bones, or Waluigi, or ROB, and it would have been fun to get something like that in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I know you can unlock Karts in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, albeit based on coin acquisition rather than winning races, and that - realistically - these matter a lot more than characters, but it just doesn't hit the same. I definitely hope they bring unlockable characters back for Mario Kart 9, or whatever they call the next one.
