Metal Mario is joining the playable character roster for Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, at least for arcade systems in Japan. The announcement comes quite some time after the announcement of Rosalina as a playable character back in December of last year.
Since then, several characters from the current roster have gotten new alternate costumes, including the recently revealed Dry Bowser alternate costume for Bowser. The others include Fire Mario, Ice Luigi, Blue Toad, Red Yoshi, and Strawberry Don-chan.
I wish this would come to my city…
It appears me and E.Gadd were right about both Metal Mario and Rosalina last year. The character icons now align perfectly. 🙂
Well, this is true, but there’s one thing that i do not understand… Why Nintendo didn’t put in a Honey Queen emblem in the arcade cabinet?
(P.S. It’s very unfair that this Mario Kart has Dry Bowser as a palette swap of Bowser while in Mario Kart Wii they are two separate characters).
I guess his costume would be Gold Mario
It’s weird see Dry Bowser as a costume of Bowser while Metal Mario isn’t one of Mario.
Dry Bowser for Mario Kart 8!
PLZ NINTENDO!! YOU STILL HAVE TIME!!
Um, Mario Kart 8 was already released, unless you are talking about dlc. :p
No, I’m not talking about the DLC everyone wants…
Oh, ok!
It was sarcasm, if you didn’t notice it yet 😛
lol… I already could tell that it was sarcasm… 😛
Everyone wants a DLC with arenas, Bowser Jr., Dry Bones, Birdo…
It’s happening…but not as I would like. What are you doing to Mario Kart, Nintendo? 🙁
thanks to Luigiguy567, I knew this in advance.
oooh dry bowser looks beast
BEAUTY! IT IS DRY BOWSER!!!
ohhh, strawberry… Boo like.
For the people who think that MM sholud be a pallette swap for Mario, he already has one, Fire Mario, so stop saying he should be and anyway, he’s a seperate person, an “anti” mario.
No offence but if he’s “anti” Mario why he has Mario in the name and why he’s just like Mario but made of metal?
I agree, Thank you!
Bowser tried to create an evil mario, using Mario’s DNA from the Metal Cap Cave, but it failed, and how I think MM was born…
Nice theory, lol
Lol…
Wouldn’t the “anti-Mario” be Shadow Mario from Sunshine? Metal Mario is just Mario wearing the metal cap. No stupid backstory necessary
Well how do Mario and MM be at the same place at the same time BM has used a time machine before, so U can’t argue about that, @$$.
*Sigh* I already found this earlier, but it sucks the lazy recolor himself is starting to become more and more common in Mario Games. I know Nintendo is trying to make a throwback to Mario 64 and Smash, but why bother bringing him back if you’re just going to give him the personality of a baked potato?
Dry bowser?! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
