Which Characters Will Return in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?

[@Tricky_Nick]

If you missed the like 2 frames where I explain it, I didn’t include Donkey Kong Jr because he’s technically Donkey Kong.

[@brunolike8631]

No he's not. He is the dad of the big ape. DK lore enthusiasts be like:🤓

[@bogonelle]

Pink gold peach is technically peach

[@DE23]

No he isn't he's canonically DK's Father

[@bogonelle]

@@DE23 no. Dks father is cranky whos dk in the old games

[@ArendAlphaEagle]

@@bogonelleNo, Cranky is Donkey Kong's GRANDfather, as well as DK in the arcade games. This would make DK Jr the father of current DK

[@jesse4437]

Facts I want Blue Toad

[@Pal_EX]

I completely agree with the Funky Kong point. I was surprised he wasn't in Mario Kart 8 back on the Wii U, then when the Switch game released and he *still* wasn't there, I knew something was up. Nintendo's got to redeem themselves by bringing my boy Funky Kong back!

[@veggie928]

I really hope Petey comes back. He has a big ass head that gets in the way, but I love him. He's one of my favorite characters and with his return in Tour I have higher hopes that he comes into MK8.

[@SuperKoopBrosOfficial]

Diddy and Funky should swap places solely because Diddy appears in more games than Funky

[@stealth_0167]

I hope Diddy Kong comes back he was one of my favourite characters in old games

Petey is actually more Likely considering he has a nitro track based on him in tour which most likely will come in mk8

[@_delriooo1396]

I would like the 3 kongs in :) alongside Pualine. Nice top!

[@TheGamersState]

My most wanted character absolutely is Diddy Kong, that poor guy deserves to be in. But I'm also really hoping for Nabbit and Kamek.

[@malevolence2820]

Could care less who comes back, I could apsolutely hate the other characters but if Petey Piranha returns I'll be beyond satisfied

[@tvgamerstan6180]

I just wonder are we gonna get more waves after wave 6 ? Would be great if they announced that in the next direct. I'm still curious about the switch's life span as well.

[@jordancurry1086]

If you want a spoiler for a Mario kart character click the read more button The character that’s going to be in Mario kart 8 deluxe is birdo

[@sirducksworthythe3rd842]

We know birds is back, I hope they bring Dixie kong from the crappy mobile into the game

[@__Soya__]

Crappy mobile game but great cast

[@NintenRob]

I'd argue Petey Piranha is the most likely character for Mario Kart. He has his own track now in Piranha Plant cove.

[@SuperPlushProduction]

Birdo is already in

[@barelyhere7200]

If we don’t get kamek, I will throw someone out of a window

[@courage1363]

To be brutally honest, i just dont see ANY Tour characters to be added in the pass JUST because we have Tour tracks doesnt mean Tour characters will be added because when they clarified that RETUNING CHARACTERS will be in the pass, that means characters from Super Mario Kart thru Mario Kart 7 will be added in the pass. And look i do want characters from Tour to be in the pass but it just cut it. And besides i still believe we will get JUST 6 returning characters to be in the pass and those characters are: Diddy Kong Koopa Paratroopa Petey Piranha Funky Kong Wiggler Honey Queen So until the 4th wave comes out so that we will know how many characters will get AFTER Birdo, im will stick with THOSE 6 till then.

[@__Soya__]

Lol guess who got proven wrong

[@5h0ckblock]

Pauline, Funky Kong, Petey Piranha, Diddy Kong, and Dixie Kong should return. If we get a seventh character, then we should get Kamek.

[@LinnyUwU]

the evidence for Kamek was in base Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U and it was removed when 8DX released. this doesn't guarantee anything.

[@rxntei4019]

But him existing in Tour + being scrapped twice in the past gives him some leverage. And if they do add newcomers to MK8 you're fooling yourself if you dont think that its gonna be Pauline and Kamek lol

[@__Soya__]

Kamek hater proven wrong

[@LinnyUwU]

@@__Soya__ i was never a Kamek hater and i was excited when he joined Tour. he didn't join Mario Kart 8DX because of the cut emblem, he joined because he was in Toud

[@gregericson4868]

R.O.B is definitely coming back because of the bottom row which is only non Mario characters.

[@sandres5291]

What about DK Jr?

[@AlbertBoris]

R.O.B will be missed lol

[@Tricky_Nick]

😂 😔

[@blackbaccarabloom]

I would like to see King K Rool as a Mario Kart Character. I mean when Donkey Kong is part of the Mario Canon than King K Rool must be too. And they put characters in Mario Kart which are not from the Mario Universe.

[@__Soya__]

They should add more characters from larger Mario universe(WarioWare,WarioLand, Yoshis Island, DK Country, Luigis Mansion, Paper Mario, Mario and Luigi RpGs)

[@gustavoprado6797]

King Bob-omb 😍😍

[@Molluck1]

My thoughts : Sure bet: Diddy Kong Very likely: Petey Piranha, Pauline, Funky Kong Likely: Kamek, King Bob-Omb Possibly...: Dixie Kong, Hammer Bro Unlikely: the others from MKT (Monty Mole, Chargin' Chuck...) Very unlikely: others not on MKT (ROB, Wiggler...)

[@__Soya__]

Wiggler joined MarioKart8 deluxe just to spite this comment

[@tonyspindash5719]

I for real want Kamek added!!

[@angus80w]

[@Tricky_Nick]

Thanks 😊

[@ArtimisArcher]

Hot Take I don’t Think Funky Kong Will get in over Dixie Kong. Even though he is In more games Dixie Would be the logical Choice.

[@rxntei4019]

Idk about that, Funky Kong's been extremely popular ever since his debut in MKWii and Nintendo knows that to the point where they even bothered to make him playable in the last DK game. As much as I wouldnt mind Dixie getting in, I think legacy characters might be prioritized. And tbh Pauline and Kamek are the most likely newcomers for obvious reasons.

[@ArtimisArcher]

@@rxntei4019 Yea it’s definitely a low bar

[@__Soya__]

Honestly I feel like the 3 side kongs(Dixie, Funky, Cranky) are interchangeable in terms of popularity.

[@Gnome-nf7ev]

They said past Mario kart games but tour is after Mario kart 8 so I believe there won’t be your characters

[@gregericson4868]

And why is Petey Piranha Plant low too? Just because his legs are small? That doesn't make sense. And he's already in the game too like Wiggler.

[@gregericson4868]

How is that having small legs a problem if Toad has a big head and small legs and they already added Petey Piranha?

[@bogonelle]

Hope bowsette gets added

[@Tricky_Nick]

👀

[@naville82]

I believe it will be 6 more characters after Birdo so adding another bottom line! Very Heavy; Petey Piranha 4 Characters Only Heavy; Funky Kong 9 characters Medium; Pauline 4 characters only Medium Light; Diddy Kong 9 Characterd Light; Kamek 9 Chatacters Very Light; ??? 7 Characters

[@ArendAlphaEagle]

Pauline is a tall woman, I think she'll have the same class as Rosalina (medium-heavy or something). Birdo would be medium weight anyway.

[@user-vp8vk9wp1v]

Trickynick is not fo kids

[@saranino5732]

I’m begging for rob but peachette and PAULINE got added…

[@gregericson4868]

Why is Wiggler low? He already returned.

[@gregericson4868]

How is the stupid stupid Funky Kong the most likely one?! Petey Piranha Plant, Birdo, Wiggler, and Kamek made it before him. And I don't think he will be added. I think they need to add Diddy Kong and the last one will definitely be R.O.B.

[@poopinmadfreshdog]

nabbit? a new character?? to mario kart i guess.

[@jacktheflash8478]

I’d rather Dixie before chunky and how is baby peach a peach clone?

[@gregericson4868]

Peachet already returned why put her at 16?

[@josh6453]

Dixie hater!

[@__Soya__]

How

[@lem2tlifenine]

Now that it is confirmed that 5 more chadacters will return, here are my predictions: 1.- Birdo (Wave 4) 2.- Pauline (Later in wave 4) 3.- Diddy Kong (Wave 5) 4.- Funky Kong (Wave 5) 5.- Kamek (Wave 6) 6.- ROB (Wave 6) (Yes, yes, but let me explain it, ROB is the only not mario universe character in the list. But why do I say this? Becuase last row of characters in Mario kart 8 deluxe is exclusively for not Mario universe characters, and ROB can perfectly fit in this row. So that's why I think ROB will be the last character to be added) Paratroopa will make it in but like a costume for koopa, also all clones of MKT will make it in but like costumes, becuase nintendo seems to want to give a new hone to mario kart tour

[@kiawegamer]

In my opinion, Funky Kong does not deserves the first spot, but Kamek, then Diddy Kong is okay at 2nd Of course FK is a beloved character, but shouldn't be more relevant than Diddy

[@PrincessPeachPrincess]

I want Pauline and honey queen 😢

[@__Soya__]

Shame on you

[@JRS06]

I'm not happy till they add all the following: - Petey Piranha - Pauline - Kamek - Hammer Bro - Paratroopa - Wiggler - King Bob Omb - Chargin' Chuck - Spike

[@__Soya__]

Definitely not Spike

[@DarkPrince777]

The real question that we should be asking. Is how many characters per wave? We can’t nearly predict what’s to come onto Mario Kart 8. This is certainly giving me Smash Ultimate fighter prediction vibes as we picture what characters we want or will appear in the game. However, results will be unexpected or in a shock. 2 characters that seem like they should’ve been in the game already, are Diddy and Pauline if I’m being honest. Thank God we have Birdo. This can also happen. Where we’ll only have 1 new character for this wave. Then for Wave 5 and 6, we could get 3 characters. Since that would be pretty similar to the DLC back from the original Mario Kart 8. All we know is. *Returning Characters from the Mario Kart Series will be onto future Waves* I think Nintendo created the *Best Mario Kart Game*. I literally said when Wave 1 released, If they drop in new characters, This game will be perfect! Welp, here we are. Lol. Can’t want to zoom in onto Wave 4.
