Mario Kart PC Forum - Advanced search

So last year, I tried to do a Best Super Mario Character tournament where the people on MKPC voted between to characters. I kept forgetting to update it, and silently cancelled it. This time, it's back, but with a theme.
RIDE OR DIES!
It's inspired by the Mario vs. Luigi Tours, which I noticed had characters with strong relationships competing against each other. 8 pairs will be split up into two sides: Red and Green. Here are the competitors.
Mario and Luigi
Toad and Toadette
Peach and Daisy
Yoshi and Birdo
Wario and Waluigi
Pauline and Rosalina (I know they don't really have any chemistry, I just needed another pair)
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong
Bowser and Bowser Jr.
Everyday, two characters from the same side will be put in a poll, while the fans vote for which character is better. On that same day, another poll takes place between their partners on the other side. After the qualifying rounds, 8 characters will remain. If both partners of a pair make it, they will combine into one unit. Now, fans will vote to eliminate one character or pair everyday until two remain. At the final 2, they will vote for one character/pair to win. If the winner is a pair, one more poll will take place between the two partners, with the winner taking home the title of Best Super Mario character.
The first polls, Mario vs. Toad and Luigi vs. Toadette, will begin on Wednesday.

I wanna make a multicup that's just courses that haven't been remade yet, but they're mostly just starter tracks, Bowser Castles, Rainbow Roads, or any other Special Cup track, so it wouldn't blend very well together.

Sure. And with the robo theme, I might even throw in a Wario Cup like in Arcade GP 1 and 2.

I was gonna stop supporting the multicup due to a lack of stuff to add, as well as the tracks being horribly unfaithful to the original, but I could make one more update with your ideas. (I have room for 3 more characters, so I can add Baby Luigi, ROB, and one more.)

I tried it out on 150cc with Medium difficulty. It's a very fun challenge. Highly recommended.

Can you do Vivian from TTYD? I'm surprised nobody did that yet.

I had this idea a while ago, but never shared it 'cause I didn't know how it would work. Thanks for unknowingly carrying that on I guess. XD

Don't mistake this for me saying I like Birdo, but after almost a decade, it's about time her flight landed.

Thank you to everyone who's signed up so far. I just need 3 more people to sign up, and then we can begin.

Hi, everyone. For all future applicants, I ask that you include a full number on your activity scale. The program I'm gonna use to balance the teams only has options for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Thank you.

To fill the gap until Toad-al Drama Sunshine, I've decided to bring back a failed ORG, (online roleplaying gameshow,) Toad-al Drama Roleplay. For those of you who competed last time, you may remember that I stopped after the first challenge because one team was completely inactive, and didn't even vote. This time, I'm gonna try to balance the teams more. To apply, all you need to do is tell me what to call you during the game, and how active you will be on a scale of 1-5.
NOTE: This is NOT a fanfic. Contestants will need to be active during challenges and vote-offs. Since most of you are in school during this time of year, I'll try not to give any time limits. Challenges will range from non-Flash Flash games to games on the forum. Some will even require a bit of creativity. A little something for everyone.
Competing Players- Activity (1-5):
@Bjthebuzzybeetle aka BJ- 3
@Poppseth aka Seth- 2
@Mystical-Coolio68 aka Coolio- 2
@Ham-Omb aka Ham- 5
@Toadboiiiii aka Toad- 5
@FieryToad aka Fiery- 4
@ItzD4rk aka Dark- 5
@Galactic_Senko aka Star- 5

It's okay-ish. If you're looking for weird, this is the one for you. DiC had no idea how any of the characters should've looked, and the live action skits have their lovers and haters. IMO, the best thing about the SMBSS is the different lands, and how they combined SMB1 and SMB2/USA.

I remember playing MKWii during lockdown, and my sister and I hated Rainbow Road, well not hate hate, but it was really hard for us. I'm worried that since this is Tour, it will be made a lot easier.

But MKDS has the Fake Item Box.

My New Year's resolution is to not have a resolution. That way, at the end of 2023, I can feel accomplished.

Since I have nothing better do do, I've decided to make a list of the courses that Nintendo's remade over and over again, and the ones they want us to forget. This includes Tour and Super Circuit remakes. I won't be including 3DS tracks since Nintendo's putting way too much love into them, and besides, there are only 2 games they can be put into.
SUPER MARIO KART:
Most Remade Course(s)

So what do you think? Are these courses overrated? Underrated? Do you think some of these courses will ever be remade? Let me know.

IT'S FINALLY HERE! The Season Finale: Know Your Enemy, and Also Their Friends
•
Lakitu: At the beginning of this season, we saw 14 players from two different worlds come together for an epic crossover season. While it wasn't as epic as we hoped it would be, our final challenge will hopefully change that. Who will Sticks eliminate? Will it be a battle between Mario and Sonic? Who will take home the big bucks? Find out on the season finale of Toad-al! Drama! Crossover!
*intro plays*
The final three sit at the Elimination Ceremony, Amy and Daisy eager to hear who Sticks picks.
Lakitu: Sticks will now reveal her decision in 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2...
Sticks: I'm competing against Daisy!
Lakitu: You didn't even let me get to the 1!
Sticks: I'm sorry, Amy. While your my best friend, I feel it's wrong to have my game-long partner get sent home instantly, especially on her third run.
Amy: I know your decision wasn't personal, but that was a stupid choice, and you're going to lose.
With that being said, Amy takes the Warp of Shame, and Lakitu announces the final challenge.
Lakitu: Our original plan was to do what Total Drama Action did, and have you go back and replay past challenges, but since we no longer have the arcade, this will be a trivia competition about a contestant from the opposite world. If you answer correctly, you get two points. If not, the other player can steal for a single point. After twelve questions, whoever has the most points wins. Daisy, here is your first question. Which game did Knuckles first appear in? Sonic Adventure, Sonic 3, or Sonic & Knuckles?
Daisy: I see you're trying to trick me. It's Sonic 3.
Lakitu: That's two points for Daisy. Sticks, here's your first question. What is Yoshi's full name?
Sticks: I don't know, just Yoshi?
Lakitu: Wrong! Daisy, you can steal for another point.
Daisy: T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas.
Lakitu: That is correct. Daisy is at 3, Sticks is at 0.
Sticks: No wonder he just goes by Yoshi.
Lakitu: Daisy, which team is Rouge associated with? Team Rose, Team Chaotix, Team Dark, or Team Vector?
Daisy: Team Rose.
Lakitu: Wrong! Sticks, if you get this right, you're on the board.
Sticks: Team Dark.
Lakitu: Correct! Sticks, here is your next question. Which of these alter egos does Bowser NOT have? A. Meowser, B. Shrowser, C. Bowsette, or D. Bowletta?
Sticks: I've heard everyone talking about Bowsette fanart, but not Bowsette herself, so I think that's the fake.
Lakitu: Fake she is. We're back even, 3-3. Daisy, who was Maria Robotnik? A. Eggman's daughter, B. Eggman's sister, C. Eggman's grandmother, or D. Eggman's cousin?
Daisy: Eggman's daughter.
Lakitu: False. Sticks, you can steal.
Sticks: Eggman's sister?
Lakitu: Wrong! She was Eggman's cousin. Nobody gets the point. Sticks, what did Mario go by on his first adventure? A. Stanley, B. Jumpman, C. The Kong Slayer, or D. Red Guy?
Sticks: One is too basic, and the others are too weird. Jumpman.
Lakitu: That is correct! The score is 3-5 in Sticks' favor. Daisy, how old is Tails?
Daisy: 8.
Lakitu: Correct. Sticks, what is Birdo's stage name?
Sticks: Birdette.
Lakitu: You were so close. Daisy, care to tell us?
Daisy: Birdetta.
Lakitu: Correct. Daisy is leading 6-5. Daisy, what was the controversial topic that Sonic talked about in the 90's?
Daisy: "If someone tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's no good."
Lakitu: Daisy, we asked for the topic, not what he said about it, so you're technically incorrect. Sticks, what was the TOPIC?
Sticks: That sounds like sexual harassment.
Lakitu: And it was. What does Luigi's name mean in Italian?
Sticks: "Well-meaning clutz."
Lakitu: Nope. Daisy?
Daisy: "Ghost wisperer?"
Lakitu: "Famous warrior." It's tied 6-6. These final questions have a twist. If you get one right, you get double the points. Get it wrong, and you lose two points. Sticks, how many times has Peach been kidnapped?
Sticks: 24.
Lakitu: That is incorrect. Minus two points. Daisy, how many times has she been kidnapped?
Daisy: 23.
Lakitu: That is correct. Plus two points. The score is now 8-4. Daisy, if you can get this last one right, you win the game. Your question is... how did Amy meet Sonic?
Daisy: Oh gosh... I used to know.
Lakitu: If you get this one wrong, Sticks can tie it and potentially win. No pressure.
Daisy: If I remember correctly... destiny from a tarot card?
Lakitu: For the win, you are









CORRECT! Congratulations, Daisy, on becoming our third Toad-al Drama winner!
Sticks applauds her victory while also trying to hide her pain.
Sticks (confessional): I should've listened to Amy. Daisy is faster than me, smarter than me, knows more about the opposite world than I do. If I had taken Amy along, I would've stood a chance.
Lakitu: In a battle between Mario and Sonic, a Mario representative has won. Thanks to donations to the network, I am happy to give you one million coins. As for the viewers at home, we have something extra special for next season. Picture this: Twelve complete nobodies on Isle Delfino, expecting a relaxing vacation while playing the game, when in reality, there will be more drama than ever before. Find out what happens on...




TOAD-AL!


DRAMA!


SUNSHINE!!!!!!

Lately, I've had hardly anything in me while writing this season. So after the finale, I might just take a break between this season and Toad-al Drama 4. It started out promising, but then I started to realize some flaws, so here are some things I could've done to make the season better before even writing the first episode.
1. Fix the Cast
On Team Mario I focused way too much on MAIN characters that I forgot to look for INTERESTING characters. It also occurred to me shortly after the cast reveal that the entire Mario side also made up the whole merge group in season 1. Looking back now, here is who I would've picked.
Mario
Daisy
Yoshi
Bowser
Wendy
Peach
Waluigi
This opens up more doors for villains as instead of shoehorning in Birdo as a repeat from season 1, I could've had Waluigi play a bigger role, or have Wendy attempt to make it to the end without having an alliance consisting of literally half the cast and then forgetting it exists before each vote-out. (Season 2 was a mess and I'm glad I quit.) As for Team Sonic, there's not much I would change. I think it was a bad idea to base each character on their Boom counterpart, but apart from Knuckles and maybe Amy, their personalities were pretty much the same.
2. Ditch the Pair Twist
I think it could've worked if I didn't just separate them based on similar archetypes. Besides, with the improved Mario cast I wrote above, I don't think this could happen. A plan I originally had which I'm surprised I didn't go with was having Mario and Sonic pick three players from the opposite series to bring to their team. The Golden Coins would have four Mario characters and three Sonic characters, and the Radiant Emeralds would have four Sonic characters and three Mario characters. This way, interaction would be encouraged, while clashing personalities would have to work together. This also would've kept people from abusing the safety aspect like Birdo did.
3. Fix the Boot Order
I kinda regret getting out all the interesting characters first, especially letting Yoshi and Knuckles go so soon. At the time of writing the first episodes, I didn't know what to do with Rouge, (since I just needed another girl and the options were limited,) so I had her get voted out first. What I should've done was have the more boring players eliminated early on, and have a post-merge to remember. Instead, like with the original casting, I focused too much on making sure all the main characters made it further.
4. Just Not Write it in the First Place
I don't know why I thought of adding Sonic characters to a Mario fanfic on a Mario fansite. My plan for season 4 was originally gonna be season 3, and I should've stuck with that.

Here's Episode 11? (I've lost track.) Worst Party Ever
•
Lakitu: Last time on Toad-al Drama Crossover; the players moved into my sky mansion for the rest of the game, and competed to stay on the Dreadmill the longest. Luigi lost the game, and Sticks lost any chance of anybody trusting her. Today, the final four will compete in a game of Mario Party to decide to goes home, and who goes to the finals. It's another chaotic episode of Toad-al! Drama! Crossover!
*intro plays*
Lakitu: ATTENTION PLAYERS! MEET ME IN THE GARDEN FOR YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE!
*a few minutes later*
Lakitu: Welcome, everyone. Today, the loser will be eliminated from the game like last time, but the winner will get to decide who goes with them to the final 2. The game you will be playing has broken more friendships then Uno and the Blue Shell combined: Mario Party.
Sticks: Uh, what?
Lakitu: It's a board game. Blue space, win coins. Red space, lose coins. Minigames after every turn.
Lakitu gives each player 10 coins and a dice block to roll. Peach rolls a 10, Daisy rolls a 9, and Amy and Sticks both roll a 2.
Lakitu: To continue with my pointless bashing of Amy, I'll make her go last. Peach, you're first.
Peach rolls a 3, lands on a blue space, and gets 3 coins. Daisy rolls a 1, and also lands on a blue space. Sticks rolls a 5, and Amy rolls a 3, both landing on blue spaces.
Lakitu: It's time for your first minigame. This one is a free-for-all, and it's called Catchy Tunes. Five types of music symbols will start falling from the sky. They are an eighth note, a pair of beamed eighth notes, a treble clef, a sharp symbol, and a bass clef. First player to catch one of each wins. 3... 2... 1... GO!
The notes start falling. While Peach and Amy are focusing more on trying to catch the notes, Sticks and Daisy are attempting to tackle them to the ground to avoid them catching any. In the end, it's between Sticks and Amy catching one final note. Sticks catches it and wins 10 coins.
Lakitu: After the first turn, Sticks has 23 coins, and everyone else has 13. Peach, time for you to start. Peach rolls a 10, and after 6 moves, she meets a fork in the road.
Peach: The path on the left will lead me to a red space, but the path on the right is further away from the star.
Peach takes the left path, and loses 13 coins, putting her score at 10. Daisy starts her turn, rolls her second 1, and lands on another blue space, putting her score at 16. Sticks rolls a 5 and lands on a blue space, while Amy rolls a 9 and also lands on a blue space.
Lakitu: Sticks is in the lead with 26 coins. Daisy and Amy are tied for second and third with 16 coins each, while Peach is in last with 10 coins. It's minigame time! This one is a 1v3 minigame, Cash Flow. Each group will ride in a Koopa Shell down a water slide, collecting coins as they go. If a member of the team, Sticks, Daisy, or Amy, runs into one of the many Spinies on the course, they are out of the game. However, if the solo player, Peach, runs into one, she will also get minor injuries. You get to collect all the coins you keep. 3... 2... 1... GO!
As soon as the minigame starts, Daisy pitches a plan to Amy.
Daisy: Sticks is the current leader, and destroyed our trust last round. How would you like to ram her into every obstacle we can find?
Amy: Sounds like a plan.
Before Sticks could collect any coins, she is pushed into a Spiny and taken out of the game. Meanwhile, Peach is going on a spree, collecting over 15 coins. Once the players reach the bottom, Lakitu reveals the results.
Lakitu: Peach collected 21 coins. Daisy collected 9, Amy collected 5, and Sticks collected 0. The new leaderboard is: Peach at 31 coins, Sticks at 26, Daisy at 25, and Amy at 21.
*montage of dice rolling, coin collecting, Star collecting, and minigame playing; fast forward to Turn 10*
Lakitu: Sticks is in first place with a Star and 24 coins. Peach is in second with 32 coins. Daisy is in third with 18 coins. And poor, poor Amy. She can't catch a break. She is in dead last with 15 coins.
Amy: It's only a three-coin difference. I can catch up.
Lakitu: I'd like to see you try. Peach, you're up. Peach rolls a 7 and lands on a red space, losing 3 coins. Daisy rolls a 9 and lands on a blue space, earning 3 coins. Sticks rolls a 1 and lands on a blue space.
Lakitu: Amy, you're up.
Amy: Just a second.
Amy whispers something in Daisy's ear.
Daisy: Ooh, I like that.
Amy (confessional): My idea is that we let Sticks win, and see who she REALLY wans to take to the finals. Instead of getting rid of her Star, all we have to do is get rid of Peach's coins.
Amy rolls a 6 and collects the second star of the game.
Lakitu: This next minigame is a 2v2 called Sky Pilots. The Blue Team is Daisy and Sticks, and the Red Team is Peach and Amy. On each team, one player will be steering the plane, while the other player will be flapping her wings. You must cooperate in order to reach the finish line. 3... 2... 1... GO!
In sticking with the plan, Amy decides to just do nothing and let Sticks' team win, which they do.
Lakitu: And the Blue Team wins 10 coins each! The new scores are Sticks with 37 coins and a Star, Amy with 24 coins and a Star, Daisy at 31 coins, and Peach in last place with 29 coins. I'm sorry Peach, but you must take the Warp of Shame.
*later that night*
Lakitu: Welcome to your final Elimination Ceremony. Sticks won the challenge, and must pick someone to join her in the Final 2. I'm sure that's gotta be a hard decision to make after making deals with both of these two.
Daisy/Amy: Yeah, Sticks.
Sticks: My choice is... oh gosh this is hard. Who do I pick? My partner from Day 1? Or my best friend?... okay, I made my decision! I pick-
Lakitu: Not so fast! We gotta create suspense. Who will Sticks send home? Who will win the million? Will it be Mario vs. Sonic as we all wanted? Find out on the season finale of Toad-al! Drama! Crossover!
Sticks: I'M BRINGING-

Here's Episode 10: The Dreadmill
•
Lakitu: Last time on Toad-al Drama Crossover; Bowser came back for vengeance and threatened to destroy the arcade if I didn't give him the money. After a bit of fighting, I gave it to him, and he STILL wrecked the place. Out of spite I guess. Today, the players are entering my mansion, where they will stay for the rest of the season. The season or the mansion, which will end first? And when? Find out on Toad-al! Drama! Crossover!
*intro plays*
Lakitu: Here they come.
One by one, the final five walk into a giant house made of clouds.
Luigi: This is some place you got.
Lakitu: Thank you. Just try not to break anything. For now, take some time to settle in before your next challenge at 10.
Amy: But it IS 10.
Lakitu: In that case... ATTENTION PLAYERS! MEET ME IN THE DANCE HALL FOR YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE!
Daisy: We're right here. No need to yell.
*a few minutes later*
The players arrive and find a giant treadmill.
Lakitu: Today's challenge will be based on the endless runner genre. One at a time, each player will take a run on the Dreadmill. Sounds easy, right? Well, Amy, it's not.
Amy: Why am I always the one getting called out?
Lakitu: On your run, you will also be bombarded with random items I pull out of my cloud. Once you fall off the Dreadmill, your run is over and your time will be recorded. The player with the shortest time will be eliminated from the competition. Who wants to be the guinea pig?
Daisy: I'll go.
Daisy steps in the Dreadmill and starts the challenge. Instead of gradually getting faster, it immediately reaches max speed.
Lakitu: It's a lot more fun this way.
Lakitu starts throwing tennis balls at Daisy. It doesn't do much to block her path, but it does serve as a distraction. While Daisy's trying to block the hits, Sticks is trying to make a deal with Amy.
Sticks: We still have our Girl Squad, right?
Amy: It's been irrelevant since our goal changed to getting out Birdo, but I guess we can bring it back. Our only option is Luigi though.
Sticks: I'm not just talking about this round. I wanna make a final 2 deal with you, since we're best friends and all.
Amy: Aww, that's so sweet. By the way, how are things going with Daisy?
Sticks: It's been a while since the last time we had a fight. We might actually be able to be an alliance again.
Amy: But she's not your final 2 partner?
Sticks: You won't have to worry about that.
*about 10 minutes later*
Lakitu: 10 minutes and 26 seconds! An incredible run by Daisy. Amy, you're up next.
Sticks: GOOD LUCK!
Amy starts her run, and after a few seconds, Lakitu starts throwing robots onto the Dreadmill.
Amy: That's the best you got?
A robot drops onto her head, which makes her realize the problem. Meanwhile, Sticks is making another final 2 deal with Daisy.
Sticks: I know things have been rough between us throughout this season, but I was wondering if you wanted to be my final 2 partner?
Daisy: I've been wanting to ask you about that for a while, but I figured you were done with me.
Sticks: We've been partners for this entire game. What's a couple more rounds?
The two high five.
Sticks (confessional): I know that sounded wrong, but if you wanna win, you gotta have options. Now there are three chances of me being in the finals.
Amy falls off the Dreadmill after 1 minute and 9 seconds.
Lakitu: Not bad, but not Daisy. Next up, Sticks.
Sticks steps onto the Dreadmill, hoping that Amy and Daisy don't start talking about her. Of course, they do.
Daisy: Good news, things are getting better between Sticks and I.
Amy: Yeah, she told me. I'm still kinda surprised she chose me as her final 2 partner over you after all that.
Daisy: Hold on. She wants YOU to be with her in the finals? She just asked ME to take her.
Amy: This can't be.
Daisy: I'm really hoping it's not.
*five minutes later*
Lakitu: Five minutes and 14 seconds. Amy is still up for elimination. Peach, you're next.
Peach starts her run, getting pounded with Koopa shells while Amy and Daisy start the interrogation.
Amy: You did a good job up there, Sticks.
Sticks: Thanks.
Amy: With skills like that, you'd be a worthy opponent for me in the final challenge.
Sticks: Oh... so... you're considering taking me with you?
Amy: No. I believe you're the one who made the offer. Unless you had plans with Daisy.
Daisy: Isn't it great that we're going to the finals together?
Sticks: I didn't accept your offer yet.
Daisy: You made the offer, traitor.
Sticks: What did I get myself into?
Lakitu: An embarrassing 58 seconds for Peach. Luigi, if you somehow last shorter than that, you're out. If not, Peach is out. Either way, somebody from Team Mario will be eliminated.
Luigi begins, ready to take Peach out... until Lakitu spawns some ghosts. Luigi is frozen in fear, and falls off.
Lakitu: WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT? YOU ONLY HAD TO GO THROUGH THAT FOR A MINUTE! YOU DIDN'T EVEN LAST 10 SECONDS!
Lakitu takes Luigi onto the balcony and throws him off.
Lakitu: And that concludes this chaotic final five round. Will Sticks relearn how to do math? When will Peach find out about this triangle of new-found hatred? Find out on the next episode of Toad-al! Drama! Crossover!

I just wanna get this season over with.
