Wiggler
2538731_orig.png

This is a weird addition to the game and I have no idea why Nintendo chose to add this character to the list. Wiggler. Last playable in Mario Super Sluggers, he can sometime be a friendly character or sometimes an enemy in those Super Mario adventures. Wiggler is almost like Honey Queen, he can't fit into karts due to his width, and size; which could be difficult on handling. Ultimately, this is another terrible and ridiculous idea that Nintendo came up with! If I had to choose to replace this character, I would choose Waluigi
Wiggler makes his third appearance as a playable character in the Mario series here. Wiggler is an odd choice to be playable in a Mario Kart game considering his large size and the fact he has so many legs. Since his first appearance in Super Mario World, Wiggler's appearance has become more and more friendly-looking. Wiggler has been a bit harder to drive for some people in Mario Kart 7 and that with another few reasons has made him along with the other 3 newcomers the most infamous additions to the series. As for now, it doesn't look like Wiggler will be playable in the Mario Kart series ever again.

Peach
6036233_orig.png

Up next is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach. She gets kidnapped by Bowser and his army in almost all adventures, but this time, she's making a playable appearance in the upcoming Super Mario 3D World, along with Toad since Super Mario Bros. 2 25 years ago. Always a happy character, but ends her time at this collab at #12.
Peach definitely deserves a better role in the Mario's series in my opinion although yet, she still isn't the best playable characters in this series. Peach has been a default playable character in every Mario Kart game to date and has been in nearly all the Mario games since her first appearance in Super Mario Bros. She is the main damsel in distress in most of the main platforming games. Decent stats yet still, ranked 12th here.
 
#11
Wario
3997043_orig.png

Wario this time returns to Mario Kart 7 as a unlockable character. He almost appeared in every Mario Kart game, except Super Mario Kart. He was first playable in Mario Kart 64 as my favorite character in that game to be honest. He finished at #2 in the previous collab (only losing to Toadette), but this one? Just missing out on the Top 10 for some reason. I find nothing wrong for him.
Wario first appeared as the main antagonist of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Wario since has been the main character of his own two series, WarioWare and Wario Land. Wario has also been playable in many spin-offs including Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Due to his very overweight size, not great stats and a bit of an irritating voice, Wario missed out on the top 10 and won't get any garlic from me.
 
#10
Koopa Troopa
6258660_orig.png

The character who is now starting to make more appearances in the Mario Kart series. Koopa Troopa is another basic and most common enemy in the Mario series. Sometimes they can be helpful, and others can harm you. I even asked SpiderStaryu about this, is he and Toad partners in some games? That's a weird question, but I agree to some games though. Koopa Troopa deserves a Top 10 finish at #10 tonight.
A very common enemy in the main platforming Mario series. Koopa Troopas first appeared in Super Mario Bros. and since has been in many games. Playable in more spin-offs than any other enemy including Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart Double Dash! and Mario Kart Wii. With decent stats Koopa Troopa is one if my top characters although his small size does not help this default character.
 
#9
Donkey Kong
4414785_orig.png

Well, here we have is one of the oldest characters in the series, which dates back to over 30 years ago; Donkey Kong. Since the late 1990s, Donkey Kong started to be more appealing in his appearences as a playable character in the following games: Mario Kart 64, Mario Golf, Tennis, Mario Party, etc. As almost a full heavyweight character with great stats, DK will be coming home at #9 on the show, which is quite okay for some DK fans.
Donkey Kong is the grandson of the original arcade Donkey Kong, now known as Cranky Komg and the son of Donkey Kong Jr.
Now with his own large series, Donkey Kong only appears in the Mario series as a playable character in many spin-offs.
He is one of the most popular video game characters of all time and in my opinion, a very funny one. His large size can be helpful at sometimes although he is not the best character to play as. DK will just slide into the top 10.
 
#8
Lakitu
3468832_orig.png

One of Mario Kart's newest entries to the series and a great character in my review, Lakitu! Although, you may find his voice a bit annoying, just put him on a Cloud 9 kart and you get the best results from him. Just imagine their clouds singing in New Super Mario Bros. U (I laughed while seeing that occur), some find him pathetic and others find him "awesome". Yep, that's a red Lakitu at #8!
Lakitus are common enemies in the Mario series. Which makes this Lakitu different with other Lakitus is that he has a red shell and a more annoying voice. His annoying voice is what makes him unpopular as well. He originally looked a lot different in his 8-bit from in Super Mario Bros. Aside from the voice, I see no reason not to like him, but for us, he ranks 9th.
 
#7
Bowser
4995289_orig.png

There has been a some exceptions as the main villain and final boss of every Mario game, but has plans to kidnap Peach and take over the Mushroom Kingdom once or twice a year. Now with the lucky #7 is the king of koopas, Bowser. He's also one of my favorite characters in Mario Kart 7, and in my opinion (except Jinx's) he is my second favorite character in Mario Kart Wii in terms of his reactions. You'll never know if he's good or bad during some adventures such as Superstar Saga. As one of the heaviest characters in Mario Kart history, Bowser gets a good result on this collab.
Now Bowser can be helpful at times as a large character but I don't go around kidnapping people once or twice a year. First appearing in Super Mario Bros., Bowser has been the main antagonist in every Mario platforming game except Super Mario Bros. 2. In a few RPGs and sports game Bowser may team up with Mario if he feels he is in trouble as well. He is good for shoving other racers over but Bowser is only a number 7 for us.
 
#6
Rosalina
8932160_orig.png

One of the most notable characters of the Super Mario Galaxy series, Rosalina. As a large character, I did like her when I played as her back in my Mario Kart Wii days, and Mario Kart 7? She's changed a lot! Her voice is good, but it wasn't a little better than the Wii version. This time, there is no Luma aside her! As we approach the Top 5, Rosalina finishes here at #6.
Rosalina, the mother of the Lumas. Rosalina has only appeared in 4 games, the two Super Mario Galaxies as a supporter and Mario Kart Wii and 7 as a playable character. She is very tall and has decent speed. Rosalina is liked a lot today because of her generosity and love shone towards Lumas and many other characters. Rosalina may only be 6th, but she is still a great playable character.
 
So you have seen 11 characters so far, now you will see the five best in our opinions. After 4 have shown, will you have correctly guessed our number one? Stay tuned to find out.

#5
[size=36pt]Mario

3425563_orig.png


To start off the Top 5, we're going to reveal to you guys the main character of the game, and the series; Mario. Anyone can play as him by default, especially for first-timers; but experts would choose someone else. His franchise is one of the strongest for Nintendo, and one of the strongest in the world for nearly 30 years. At #5, yep, that's defiantly Mario.

Mario, the character who started it all. Mario has been in every Mario game of course. He has a decent fan base and is a character that is easy to control with decent speed. Mario is known across the world, it makes him one of the most popular video game characters in the world. Mario has a lot of positive things, but he only ranks 5th for us.
 
#4
Toad
4998897_orig.png

Mostly my favorite character in the game; Toad. They are usually supporting character in almost 100% in all adventures when Peach is kidnapped or other bad things happen. The Blue and Yellow ones have learned to stand up for themselves to save the princess and defeat Bowser in the New Super Mario Bros. series (console versions). Nevertheless, back to Mario Kart 7: Toad has great speed but does not liked to be pushed around by heavy characters (i.e. Donkey Kong, Bowser, etc.). At #4, you've guessed it! Toad!
Toad first appeared in Super Mario Bros. Always eager to help the princess and worries about her. Toad has decent stats and good speed. He has been in most of the Mario games as either a supporter or a playable character. Toad is a symbol of the Mario series, known very well but often confused with other red toads. Toad is a good playable character, but will only rank 4th, narrowly missing the final 3.
 
#3
Metal Mario
1828204_orig.png

The most notable newcomer that Nintendo added in Mario Kart 7 unlike Lakitu; Metal Mario. Most people find him unpopular because he is like a "garbage-like newcomer to the series". However, his weight is enough to push lighter karts off the course during online races. He is great at speed but with terrible controlling and acceleration like the other heavy characters. I have no idea that he's at #3 right now...
Metal Mario essentially is a clone of Mario. Despite this, he has good stats and is a useful and decent playable character. In Super Mario 64, the Metal Cap allowed Mario to turn into Metal Mario, although since, Metal Mario was a separate character, playable in Mario Golf and Tennis games and a boss in the Super Smash Bros. series. Metal Mario was very unpopular and I doubt will ever be playable in another main Mario Kart game.
