Thats so messed up and makes the gap between first and the other racers EVEN BIGGER! Also, mk8d has 2 item slots and double item boxes, so last place can get a crazy 8 and a bullet, which just makes the game so item dependent, especially with all those buffed items. So now first place can frontrun and keep a horn, and just ELIMINATE any blue shells. In mk8, however, the blue shell hits everyone else, which defeats the point, but not only that, they introduced the super horn. The blue shell was created to make frontrunning a less viable strat, and shorten the gap between 1st and the other racers so they can catch up. Mk8 brought back the coin for whatever reason, the piranha plant, which allowed you to get speed boosts while hitting other racers, the boomerang flower, which is just triple greens but worse, and the super ho- THE DUMBEST ITEM IDEA OF THE CENTURY! I need to talk abt the blue shell here. Wii introduced the pow block, which allowed for great strategy on huge turns or making people lose their items, and the tc, which brought adrenaline and rush to a race. This is obviously something that both mkwii and mk8 players know how bad it is, so let's just skip to the end. Mk7 toned them down because its portable, but why does 8 keep the toned down version? Mk8 introduced antigravity, which looked really cool and allowed for great track design, but didn't do much more. Mkwii introduced bigger lobbies, bikes, a better drifting system, but most importantly, tricks, which were not only really cool, but they were used for some really good strategies (ddr wall glitch, 99999 cc shortcuts, etc). This is for both mk8 and mk8d, so players of both these games are going to get roasted. I understand that wii had some major flaws, but I'm not happy at all with how 8 fixed them. In this post I will talk about why mkwii is better than 8 (like I have said TWICE in comments of previous posts), and just how ignorant the mk8 players are that tell me every day that mk8 is better than mkwii. Dont get me wrong, I would still play mk8 if I had the chance, and I dont want hate to rise out of this. Once I really dug deep into both games, I started realizing just how influential mkwii is, and how its better than mk8. Then, I took it, ditched the wii wheel for a way better controller (nunchuck gang rise up), and started playing again. During quarantine, I suddenly had this huge realization that the wii still existed in my basement, along with mario kart. Then my grandmother moved to Greece and I sort of drifted apart from the wii. The graphics were so clean, the tracks were amazing (cloudtop cruise, im looking at you), and overall the game seemed way better. I went to gamestop with my dad, and begged him to let me try out the demo.
My reaction was very excited about anti gravity and I thought it was really cool. Fast forward one or two years, and mk8 became really popular. At first, I was disappointed that gliders didn't exist, but then I found out how much fun the game really is, even though I was a noob. I had wii sports and wii party, and after a few years, I got mkwii. They can be seen swimming around.The very first mario kart game i ever saw was when i went to my friend/fake gf's house in kindergarten and she had a 3ds, and let me tell you, I made her lose like 1000 vr cause of how bad I was.
Dolphins, those of which the Dolphin Dasher was modeled after, get their own home course in Mario Kart 8, Dolphin Shoals.
Although Mario Kart primarily takes place on tracks. The top half is colored blue ( Mario's coloration) and the bottom is white.The bike's handle bars come out the side of the head, and the dolphin also wears goggles, convenient for swimming and such. The front section is shaped like the dolphins head, with the snout a little on top of the frontal wheel. The Dolphin Dasher's wheels have white axels with pink and green accents. The back of the bike has a gray exhaust pipe coming out with some fins just right over it. The basic frame of the Dolphin Dasher is modeled after the body of a dolphin, with a very dense middle structure.
