O.K, possible lightweights, medium' and heavy' (yeah, I'm a fact thinker) Please correct all my mistakes.


Light:

Baby Mario
Baby luigi
Baby peach
Toad
Toadsworth (who the heck is this? Nintendo Power)

Light/Medium, not sure

Koopa troopa
Boo
Dixie Kong
Hammer Brothers (Nin Power)


Medium:

Luigi
Mario
Mii
Peach
Yoshi

Heavy:

Waluigi
Wario
Bowser
Donkey kong

As you can see, we have 24 characters confirmed. Now, that means 8 light, 8 heavy and 8 medium.

We have 5 light, 5 medium, and 4 light OR medium. 3 of the unkown has to go to one, and 2 to the other. That means we get 7 and 7, or 6 and 7, if Miis are not counted towards the 24. That leaves 2 medium and 1 light, or 3 light, or 3 medium, or 1 medium and 2 light.

The point is, is it possible that Toadette is one of the 2 next most important characters?

Realistic competitors, if we say there are 2 more light spots.

Luma
Dry Bones
Paratroopa
Bowser JR
Diddy Kong
....


And Toadette. I'd say that if Toadsworth is in, like NP said, Toadette is out.

Now, for the Heavy, we only have 4, so there are 4 free spots. Nintendo Power said Wario's Girlfriend and Waluigi's girlfriend

If those are true, we have 2 more spots. R.O.B could take one, I see this likely.

Nintendo Power hinted that we would see a return of a character, that was part of a spin-off series. King Boo fits this very well, he could be the new Heavy. Petey Piranha (god forbid!) is also a possible choice.

Any I am missing?


The NP article has been proven false. It said there were 48 characters, while Famitsu said 24. So Toadsworth & Dixie are gone.



WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

MKWii looks so amazing, but I expected a expensive cost.

@Oyvoyvoyv

The off-road stat could possibly determine the speed of a character when they are off road (like in sand or grass), or possibly how they handle off-road. Maybe even a combination of both.

And wow, those tracks look beautiful. I love the "THANK YOU" in Coconut Mall.....so much attention to detail.

Yeah - sorry if any of these had already been posted.

Does anybody know if a all 16 courses track is still in? Has it been de or re confirmed? I really loved that one.

And whether you are hyped for this or Brawl, probably depends on where you live.

Americans: Getting Brawl tomorrow, so 85% should be Brawl.

Europeans: Getting MKwii at least a month before, so 65% should be MKWii.

Japaneese: They're hyping Wii Fit.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Can't wait for this. We get this in Australia before we get Brawl. So I pretty much 50/50 with the hype when comparing this and Brawl.
