Good job with the visuals! Btw I think Shy Guy and Kamek could totally work as partners. They're both Yoshi enemies and they were paired in Mario Party 9
Absolutely, their special item could be a horde of Fly Guys that go to the character ahead of you and clutter their screen, similar to the Blooper item
In Super Mario Party, because Shy Guy was playable, they actually made Fly Guy blue to differentiate him from Shy Guy, so I think that would be a great idea for this roster.
I think Pianta and Pom Pom would most likely be heavy weights and if it’s unbalanced, I feel like they could retroactively make Rosalina and Pauline heavier medium weights. Speaking of which, I know Mario Kart Double Dash was on the GameCube and Pianta and Noki are from Super Mario Sunshine but they haven’t been really relevant as of late, especially the latter. As others suggested and later acknowledged, I think characters like Nabbit, Wiggler, Spike, Kamek, Hammer bro or even Monty Mole could be included, even though their partners aren’t obvious. Additionally, I also think each special item should be unique to a pair even though it would require a lot of items to be made.
In love with the idea of a Pianta and a Noki. Only thing I'd do differently is change the Noki to the old man variant and maybe give the Pianta a moustache.
One idea I had while watching this video was pairing up Pauline with Mini-Mario. I think that'd be a pretty cute character to have and very distinct compared to other variants of Mario. I also think Shy Guy's special item could be something from Super Mario Bros 2, like the POW Block, the veggies or the stopwatch.
The POW block would be a fun item to include again, and it can already kinda just... work like it did in MKWii. Tricking can "dodge" it (for lack of better term) but still cause item drops, or maybe in this game, if you "dodge" it successfully, you only lose one item? With that in mind, I'd love to see more items be droppable. perhaps losing a golden mushroom can give people like, free ultra miniturbos or something? And a ground shock would be devastating, too!
What about Link and Zelda as a character combination? We already have Link as a playable character in Mariokart 8, so why not pair Princess Zelda with him. Their special item would be the light arrows.
I think the character pairs you came up with, as a whole, are quite interesting. One character combination idea that I think could work really well is King K. Rool and Kritter ;o)
For DLC maybe we'll get Link + Zelda, Tom Nook + Isabel, & other pairs? I never understood who Boomboom & PomPom were supposed to be as characters as they don't seem like generic enemies yet they also aren't given any special backstory which made them always seem awkward. What about Paper Mario Partners with a Paper based item that they each share? Who should Partner with Goombella?
If we have to have clones, I'd swap Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach with Dr. Mario and Mr. L. There's not much of a reason that I pair these two together other than the fact I think it's cool. Dr. Mario's special would be the pills from Tour and have either the capsule kart from Tour or a kart based on an ambulance, whereas Mr. L gets a thunder ball, which acts like the fireballs but shrinks the opponent like lightning. His kart would also reference Brobot from SPM, looking similar to the Turbo Yoshi/Turbo Birdo karts.
The super item for Shy guy/Fly guy could be the vegetable maker in the fight with Wart that shoots projectiles in random directions that last a few seconds before disappearing
I would've given Shy Guy and Sniffit a giant turnip item to reference Mario Bros 2 (Not Lost Levels), as well as the fact that shy guy's throw turnips nowadays as seen in the side modes of the Mario & Luigi remakes
My ideas for characters combinations 1. Rosalina and Pauline 2. Baby Peach and Baby Daisy 3. Shy Guy and Fly Guy 4. Lakitu and Hammer Bro 5. Wiggler and Flutter 6. Funky Kong and Dixie Kong 7. Dry Bowser and Dry Bones 8. Kamek and Kamella 9. Boom Boom and Pom Pom 10. King Bob Omb and Whomp King
I have two suggestions. *Pianta and Noki’s special item should be a Shine Sprite. It gives them a consistent boost like Wii’s thundercloud. But instead of a hot potato lightning strike, the Shine Sprite projects a blinding aura that obstructs the screen of anyone in range. *I kind of want to see Nabbit in the game with his special item being that bag of his. Either it could act like a hybrid between Boo a banana peel, stealing the item of the first person to run into it. Or it could actually do something useful with coins. Using the bag allows Nabbit to exchange the coins he’s carrying for a big bonus of some kind (either speed boosts or other items that vary in strength based on how many coins they spend) The problem is I have no idea who his partner could be.
I like the idea for Dropping the item bag and then it stealing an item. At first I thought you were gonna say it captures whoever runs into it for like 2 seconds or something lol(Or maybe like maximum 5 seconds but the person can mash buttons to get out faster)
I made a concept for a Mario kart triple trouble whit 3 characters in one kart. Some team examples are: Mario, Luigi and Yoshi. Peach, Daisy and Birdo as counterpart to them. Wario, Waluigi and Nabbit. (It works so well.) And Bowser, Bowser Jr and Kamek.
That would be pretty interesting. Here's some more pairs: Koopa, Paratroop and Dry Bones Hammer, Fire and Ice Bros Baby Mario, Luigi and Wario Baby Peach, Daisy and Rosalina DK, Diddy and either Dixie or Funky Rosalina, Luma and Lubba King Boo, King Bob-omb and Petey Piranha Toad, Toadette and either Toadsworth or Captain Toad.
Maybe to get around the Kong issue, you could go another direction with the series? King K. Rool and Kritter might be interesting, with their item being a Klaptrap. It could sit like a banana or wander a small radius, and try to chase racers down as they pass, clamping onto the kart and slowing them down for a duration. The kart could be based on the Blast-O-Matic from DK64 too.
Nice roster idea. The only thing I’m iffy about is Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach’s special item. I don’t think it’s a great idea to have a pair have two different special items, which I guess makes it harder on what special item they can get. But I guess I’d just have Tanooki Mario and Tanooki Luigi/Peach instead with the Tanooki power up as their special item. And I think Pianta should be a heavyweight instead of a medium weight.
I'm sure their special item could be a bit better, or more creative. But I don't see too much of an issue with sharing multiple items given that's how double dash works anyway with mixed pairs. And some pairs like Koopa/Paratroopa do have 2 different special items anyway. And yeah, Pianta could probably be heavy. I was just trying to include more medium weights because I had too many heavy/light
4:53 or they could have a shine sprite as their special item which would be a tweaked version of the star where instead of giving you invincibility the shine sprite zaps enemy karts and enemy items via the power of the sun with the zapping being less effective on tracks that play at night around you for say 15 seconds
Missed opportunity BC Pac Man and Blinky would've been the perfect crossover duo and let's be honest, Double dash was around the time when Arcade GP Exists so that couldve been better!!!! Not to mention, it's not a Mario kart game without Crossover characters.
Btw, their signature karts are The Pac buggy and the Ghost Buggy which it's stats are similar to Mario's Signature kart and the Exclusive kart to Blinky is the Ghost Plane which is a Heavyweight kart. Their signiture items are the Power Pellet which is a Shorter version of the star and the shock baton that hits enemies up close.
1:23 or we could have one of those arrow nosed enemies form wario Land 3 where it would walk around the track and use its sharp nose to flatten the tires of enemy karts which would make them slower but it can be defeated by dashing into it with a mushroom, star, gold mushroom or a bullet bill or or a chainchomp and it could slip on a banana making you able to knock it out without a mushroom
The couples that I imagine what it would be like are: Dixie kong & Tiny Kong Rosalina & Pauline Baby Peach & Baby Daisy Baby Rosalina & Luma Funky Kong & Cranky Kong K.rool & Kritter Goomba & Fly Goomba Baby Donkey Kong & Donkey Kong Jr.
An idea I came up with is a normal enemy with a beefed up.boss variant as their partner(like goomba and king goomba) (it would be funny to see armless characters race)
Interesting combo's, I would change up some stuff: - replace Paratroopa with the Koopa General from the Mario Movie - replace Sniffit with Kamek (both primarily Yoshi Island) - replace Cappy with Funky Kong - replace Whomp King with Nabbit... might have no connection, but has random secret pair vibes - with the remaining duo I would have the obscure choice of Fawful and Popple
This was actually really well done! Your selections make lots of sense, and the visual display work you did is amazing. RIP to my favourite Baby Rosalina though :( I know lots of people dislike her but we barely have female characters to choose from anyways. I appreciate your list for being very balanced in gender choices!
gotta consider the fact irl the motorsport is mainly dominated by males anyways. not trying to be rude. just stating the obvious. besides a females body is just meant to produced babies. not take the very physical abuse a male does. a good example is danica patrick and she didnt get too far in the motorsport of NASCAR much less formula 1
For my extra 10 pairs, these would be my picks Rosalina and Luma Baby Peach and Baby Daisy Funky and Dixie Shy Guy and Kamek Boom Boom and Pom Pom Poochy and Sprixie Princess Pauline and Foreman Spike Nabbit and Hammerbro Honey Queen and Wiggler King Bombomb and Madame Broode Some pairs aren't perfect, but if the characters haven't interacted before, then I tried to give the pair a theme or vibe "like ya, I can see them working together"
If you wanted to include the guest characters from MK8, then their pairs could be Link and Zelda, Inkling and Octoling, and Villager and Isabelle. I also had the idea of bringing R.O.B. back alongside either Professor Hector (the scientist from R.O.B.’s games) or his overseas counterpart. As for an original pair, I think Professor E. Gadd and Gooigi could be an interesting choice.
If Cranky were to be an addition, pair him up with K. Rool. It may seem random until you remember they were revealed to be long time friends in the cartoon lol
Overall, a very solid list imo. Personally, I'd do the following adjustments though: Shy Guy × Dry Bones -> would be a cool reference to the Super Mario Movie Dry Bowser × Kamek -> these two hang around quite often. Rosalina × Pauline -> I think if Cappy flew around Pauline similarly to how Luma flows around Rosalina you'd have much more of the characters. I also think Rosa and Pauline are a very satisfying pairing due to their weight class and aesthetic similarities, which Double Dash puts an emphasis on. They are also both rulers in their own ways. The rest is pretty accurate imo. Especially love King Whomp because I would've thought of Chain Chomp instead due to his reappearence in the latest Tennis game.
Bro when I was a kid I literally had the idea for a double dash sequel where there was four in a kart that’s crazy. Really the only to notable groups I thought of was peach, daisy, rosalina, and pauline, then king boo, petey, king bobomb, and goomboss
I would buff the babies chain chomp to make you invincible for the duration like bullet bill (also shock doge). Its dumb when your chomp is wasted sometimes.
I also think for the kongs you could pair tiny with either lanky or chunky, considering double dash comes from that era of unique and obscure characters a la pianta and noki
Alright here are some combinaison ideas i have ! Also ik some of them are unlikely lol Florian and Poplin Nabbit and either a og character like they did with toadette and waluigi or shy guy maybe H.Bro and Lakitu Kamek and Kammy(since you know ttyd remake) Geno and Mallow Toadsworth and E.Gadd Plessie and Sprixie Wiggler and either flutter monty mole or honey queen ig And finally Poochy and Polterpup And yeah ik i skipped the items but i really dont know for those
Floridian and poplin can. Have the wonder flower Nabbit and Mii can have access to all specials Hammer bro and lakitu will have a spiny and hammer respectively Kamek and kammy will have their wands (fire/ice flower clone) Geno and mallow will have the heart and thunder cloud Toadsworth and E. Gadd will have the mega mushroom Plessie and sprixie will have the dash ring Wiggler and honey queen will have honey syrup (from Mario and Luigi, will work like a blooper, but only hitting one player, or leaving a slick) Poochy and polterpup will have their owners' respective items
I think Kamek would work better with Shy Guy since Fly Guy and Sniffit would look the same as Shy Guy from behind. Kamek and Shy Guy are both enemies in the Yoshi games, so I think they would go together well.
3:29 for predictions, I hate how accurate this would be. if this is something you'd like to see, damn, that's sad (Metal Mario is alright tho). 4:29 Sunshine rep lessgo 7:27 also mirrors the fact you can't see anything with Petey on the back with Whomp King 8:24 wait, wasn't Diddy light? why's Dixie so heavy?
@@WumbleWasp no wait, I forgot the Locomokong is the best lightweight kart, and it's Diddy's, so yeah, Dixie is heavier than him (at least according to DD)
@@WindWerehog yeah I completely forgot he was light in double dash. I guess they could either make Diddy medium, or change Dixie to light. I think it'd be better if they were the same weights.
One combo I would kill for is easily Fawful and Midbus. Ik M&L is currently dead rn due to AlphaDream going bankrupt, but they are an iconic duo, and Fawful just makes me happy.
A dog duo: Poochy and Polterpup Kart - Spikey dog bowl Special - Bone 🦴. Throws 3 horizontal spinning bones that hover over the ground similar to the boomerang item. Can hit more than one player per bone.
I think dry bones’ special item should be the bone he throws in the older games. It could be kind of like the boomerang flower, but only coming back twice.
My suggestion of special characters are a duo of R.O.B & Captain Falcon. Odd you may say, but I just think it would be a neat way of introducing special guests similar to Mario Kart 8. I mean R.O.B has appeared in the MKDS & Falcon seems fitting for the car racing theme!
Blooper and hammer bro could also work as a combo since they were both unlockable characters in mario party 8. Also instead of a regular Luma you could pair Rosalina with Lubba from galaxy 2.
I’d say Pauline would pair nicely with Cranky, showing how much their partnership has grown ever since the old days. Maybe Cappie could get paired with Tiara, and we could bring in Mallow and Geno.
An idea for a combo In this hypothetical game is a guest character sonic and tails Fun fact Mario was going to be a wii exclusive in sonic and sega allstars racing but was cut cus of the Olympic Games and there special item will be chaos emeralds make them turn super and faster and take no damage also in this hypothetical game I want the special items to be like the sonic and sega allstars racing allstars strong rare and faster
I reckon you should do a part 2 or something where you talk more about a double dash 2 or remake of the original with these characters. I also think Shy Guy could go with Kamek/Magikoopa as seen in Mario Party 9
Roster isnt bad and honestly for a sequel to MKDD, any new characters added on to the base roster of Double Dash is fine for me. But with that being said, imo Pauline should be medium weight, ik she's tall but I just feel medium is more fitting, idk(Im kind of comparing Waluigi since he's also tall but a medium weight in DD), but Pianta's should DEFINITELY be heavy weights imo. Having Dixie isnt a bad idea at all, but me personally for Funky Kong, I would pair him with Candy Kong(Or We can have Dixie with Kiddy Kong, I saw someone else say this and I kinda love this idea). And lastly Pom pom has to be a heavy weight. Thats all my critiques but again, any new addition to MKDD's roster is fine so im good with anything, plus you have some perfect teams imo, with King Bob-Omb and Whomp King, Pinata and Noki, Pauline and Cappy, a lot of thse3 pairs would be so cool in a MKDD sequel!
For Boo to work, you'd have to give the actual King Boo color for it, so they can actually feel different instead of making King Boo feel like "Just a Boo with a Crown".
Guest characters could work given 8 DLC. I pick Ness and Lucas. They would be light or medium weight. Item could be the ramblin mushroom that could mirror controls (left is right and vise versa) kart could be a Mr. Saturn and a Drago.
And also, if you get a perfect score, instead of getting a gold trophy, you get a PLATINUM trophy and lots and shiny jewels and gemstones and other fancy details
I would change peachs and daisys special item, so that it only works on special items. To me this is a buff, because you won't pick up "trash items" like green shells or regular bananas.
Here a idea why not have one of a paper Mario series or Mario and Luigi series character as a character combtion like fawful and cackalatta (i think that how you spell that name) or maybe Geno and mallow from super Mario RPG cause of the remake
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
0:13 When you're working a shift and it's just you and your boss.
Another combination idea. Prince Florian and Poplin.
I would like to see that!
I like that, but honestly i would like the talking flower too. But it makes more sense for poplin, i suppose.
@@torchilicho I more see the Talking Flower as an NPC.
Talking flower :(
@@Thecyanpult The Talking Flower would prefer to spectate.
Good job with the visuals! Btw I think Shy Guy and Kamek could totally work as partners. They're both Yoshi enemies and they were paired in Mario Party 9
Absolutely, their special item could be a horde of Fly Guys that go to the character ahead of you and clutter their screen, similar to the Blooper item
Geno And Mallow would be great but that is asking Square for permission to use both of them
That'd be amazing
Missed opportunity to have Dixie kong be paired with either tiny kong, or kiddy kong
Kiddy Kong is never coming back.
He has a cameo in the mario movie on the rainbow road scene LMAO@@1234_Flux
so like Banjo, Geno and K-Rool never came back?... oh wait@@1234_Flux
Mmmmm thats not a bad idea either, I was thinking Funky Kong and Candy Kong but your idea is cool too(Also I do want Kiddy Kong to return so bonus).
@@miepsi4299 No one likes Kiddy though.
In Super Mario Party, because Shy Guy was playable, they actually made Fly Guy blue to differentiate him from Shy Guy, so I think that would be a great idea for this roster.
You mean super Mario party
In mario tennis they had both as red though
@@plooper14 Yeah, you're right, I got them mixed up, I'll fix it.
@@paleblank0 Yeah, and I wish they let you change colors in Power Tennis too. They were one of my favorite teams to use in that game.
@@paleblank0 Yeah, and I wish they let you change colors in Power Tennis too. They were one of my favorite teams to use in that game.
This is a brilliant concept, WumbleWasp! This is like how I would discuss concepts for new games in articles on my blogs! :)

Additionally, I also think each special item should be unique to a pair even though it would require a lot of items to be made.
I wish a new Mario Kart game could include Warioware characters like Ashley, Mona, Red, Penny, and Warioman
hell i'd be down for more mario adjacent characters that stem from more than donkey kong
One of my friends would love that, especially if Ashley was included
What an odd idea for a video, yet I’m hooked! This is the sort of thing I used to think about when I was a kid!
In love with the idea of a Pianta and a Noki. Only thing I'd do differently is change the Noki to the old man variant and maybe give the Pianta a moustache.

I know it would be weird to have a dog drive a go-kart, but Polterpup and Professor E. Gadd could be a fun combo
We had Poochy in Tour
“I decided against Goomboss because he has no arms”
*chooses blooper as Boo’s partner*
Nah blooper has arms. Or at least tentacles he uses as arms in games like Mario tennis.
I would main King Bob-omb and Whomp King in a HEARTBEAT
What about Link and Zelda as a character combination? We already have Link as a playable character in Mariokart 8, so why not pair Princess Zelda with him. Their special item would be the light arrows.
I think the character pairs you came up with, as a whole, are quite interesting. One character combination idea that I think could work really well is King K. Rool and Kritter ;o)
I think geno and mallow from mario rpg would be a pretty awesome combo, especially with the remake bringing the two back into relevancy
For DLC maybe we'll get Link + Zelda, Tom Nook + Isabel, & other pairs? I never understood who Boomboom & PomPom were supposed to be as characters as they don't seem like generic enemies yet they also aren't given any special backstory which made them always seem awkward. What about Paper Mario Partners with a Paper based item that they each share? Who should Partner with Goombella?
personally i think baby peach should be paired with TOADSWORTH
Lakitu and Lakithunder with either Thunder Cloud or Spinies as their special item
If we have to have clones, I'd swap Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach with Dr. Mario and Mr. L. There's not much of a reason that I pair these two together other than the fact I think it's cool. Dr. Mario's special would be the pills from Tour and have either the capsule kart from Tour or a kart based on an ambulance, whereas Mr. L gets a thunder ball, which acts like the fireballs but shrinks the opponent like lightning. His kart would also reference Brobot from SPM, looking similar to the Turbo Yoshi/Turbo Birdo karts.
The super item for Shy guy/Fly guy could be the vegetable maker in the fight with Wart that shoots projectiles in random directions that last a few seconds before disappearing
Yes
I would've given Shy Guy and Sniffit a giant turnip item to reference Mario Bros 2 (Not Lost Levels), as well as the fact that shy guy's throw turnips nowadays as seen in the side modes of the Mario & Luigi remakes
I think it’s worth noting that Waluigi is medium in this game, so Pauline and Rosalina could go the same route.
I think Rosaline as a heavy and Pauline as a medium would be fitting though, especially since Rosa is already a heavyweight in MKWii
@@Leekodot15Pauline is a Heavy weight in 8 Deluxe
Love your choices of characters and special items. Keep up the great work!
thanks!
Justice for Sniffit, they deserve better
No sniffas
If non Nintendo characters were to be involved here, Sonic and Tails, Banjo and Kazooie, or Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man would be neat choices.
My ideas for characters combinations
1. Rosalina and Pauline
2. Baby Peach and Baby Daisy
3. Shy Guy and Fly Guy
4. Lakitu and Hammer Bro
5. Wiggler and Flutter
6. Funky Kong and Dixie Kong
7. Dry Bowser and Dry Bones
8. Kamek and Kamella
9. Boom Boom and Pom Pom
10. King Bob Omb and Whomp King
some of these are... kinda included in the video but aight-
I have two suggestions.
*Pianta and Noki’s special item should be a Shine Sprite. It gives them a consistent boost like Wii’s thundercloud. But instead of a hot potato lightning strike, the Shine Sprite projects a blinding aura that obstructs the screen of anyone in range.
*I kind of want to see Nabbit in the game with his special item being that bag of his. Either it could act like a hybrid between Boo a banana peel, stealing the item of the first person to run into it. Or it could actually do something useful with coins. Using the bag allows Nabbit to exchange the coins he’s carrying for a big bonus of some kind (either speed boosts or other items that vary in strength based on how many coins they spend)
The problem is I have no idea who his partner could be.
Him and Peachette sadly make the most sense because of Mario Wonder. Conceivably a Popline or Prince Florian would be really cool though!
I like the idea for Dropping the item bag and then it stealing an item. At first I thought you were gonna say it captures whoever runs into it for like 2 seconds or something lol(Or maybe like maximum 5 seconds but the person can mash buttons to get out faster)
I made a concept for a Mario kart triple trouble whit 3 characters in one kart.
Some team examples are: Mario, Luigi and Yoshi.
Peach, Daisy and Birdo as counterpart to them.
Wario, Waluigi and Nabbit. (It works so well.)
And Bowser, Bowser Jr and Kamek.
That would be pretty interesting.
Here's some more pairs:
Koopa, Paratroop and Dry Bones
Hammer, Fire and Ice Bros
Baby Mario, Luigi and Wario
Baby Peach, Daisy and Rosalina
DK, Diddy and either Dixie or Funky
Rosalina, Luma and Lubba
King Boo, King Bob-omb and Petey Piranha
Toad, Toadette and either Toadsworth or Captain Toad.
Pianta might be the largest medium character in the Mario franchise lol
Maybe to get around the Kong issue, you could go another direction with the series? King K. Rool and Kritter might be interesting, with their item being a Klaptrap. It could sit like a banana or wander a small radius, and try to chase racers down as they pass, clamping onto the kart and slowing them down for a duration.

As a shy guy I can confirm that this is my partner 5:05

We need a Mario Kart Double Dash 2.
Nice roster. Pianta and Noki duo is especially awesome
Wapeach and Boshi, Wapeach’s special item, her Axe, Boshi’s special item, explosive egg that also acts like a red shell, it hones in on people
Wapeach is not cannon
@@Thecyanpult I know, but doesn’t mean we can’t add her
@@Thecyanpult and neither is Waluigi technically since he doesn’t appear in a mainline Mario game other than spin offs.
Snifit would definitely be a welcome surprise as compared to Fly Guy, would also make for a unique item
They would both be great imo
inb4 all the inevitable jokes about Pink Gold Peach and Nathaniel Bandy
What about Cranky Kong and Donkey Kong Jr? Considering Cranky is DK Jr's father.
4:53 or they could have a shine sprite as their special item which would be a tweaked version of the star where instead of giving you invincibility the shine sprite zaps enemy karts and enemy items via the power of the sun with the zapping being less effective on tracks that play at night around you for say 15 seconds

Their signiture items are the Power Pellet which is a Shorter version of the star and the shock baton that hits enemies up close.
Nabbit and goomba, and Lakitu and wiggler would be my favorite pairs
Great roster king
1:23 or we could have one of those arrow nosed enemies form wario Land 3 where it would walk around the track and use its sharp nose to flatten the tires of enemy karts which would make them slower but it can be defeated by dashing into it with a mushroom, star, gold mushroom or a bullet bill or or a chainchomp and it could slip on a banana making you able to knock it out without a mushroom
The couples that I imagine what it would be like are:
Dixie kong & Tiny Kong
Rosalina & Pauline
Baby Peach & Baby Daisy
Baby Rosalina & Luma
Funky Kong & Cranky Kong
K.rool & Kritter
Goomba & Fly Goomba
Baby Donkey Kong & Donkey Kong Jr.
Mario Kart Ds 2 would be aokay for me plus those combination ideas feel like DLC
Dr Mario and Dr Luigi their special item will be pills.😅
An idea I came up with is a normal enemy with a beefed up.boss variant as their partner(like goomba and king goomba) (it would be funny to see armless characters race)
Interesting combo's, I would change up some stuff:
- replace Paratroopa with the Koopa General from the Mario Movie
- replace Sniffit with Kamek (both primarily Yoshi Island)
- replace Cappy with Funky Kong
- replace Whomp King with Nabbit... might have no connection, but has random secret pair vibes
- with the remaining duo I would have the obscure choice of Fawful and Popple

Baby Peach and Baby Daisy
Funky and Dixie
Shy Guy and Kamek
Boom Boom and Pom Pom
Poochy and Sprixie Princess
Pauline and Foreman Spike
Nabbit and Hammerbro
Honey Queen and Wiggler
King Bombomb and Madame Broode
Some pairs aren't perfect, but if the characters haven't interacted before, then I tried to give the pair a theme or vibe "like ya, I can see them working together"
If you wanted to include the guest characters from MK8, then their pairs could be Link and Zelda, Inkling and Octoling, and Villager and Isabelle. I also had the idea of bringing R.O.B. back alongside either Professor Hector (the scientist from R.O.B.’s games) or his overseas counterpart. As for an original pair, I think Professor E. Gadd and Gooigi could be an interesting choice.
Mario Kart Double Dash Deluxe
Im surprised you didn't pair dry bones and boo considering how common a duo they are, still, good roster!
Not gonna lie, This is would be better then 8 deluxe roster's
If Cranky were to be an addition, pair him up with K. Rool. It may seem random until you remember they were revealed to be long time friends in the cartoon lol
Overall, a very solid list imo. Personally, I'd do the following adjustments though:
Shy Guy × Dry Bones -> would be a cool reference to the Super Mario Movie
Dry Bowser × Kamek -> these two hang around quite often.
Rosalina × Pauline -> I think if Cappy flew around Pauline similarly to how Luma flows around Rosalina you'd have much more of the characters. I also think Rosa and Pauline are a very satisfying pairing due to their weight class and aesthetic similarities, which Double Dash puts an emphasis on. They are also both rulers in their own ways.
The rest is pretty accurate imo. Especially love King Whomp because I would've thought of Chain Chomp instead due to his reappearence in the latest Tennis game.
It's somehow cursed to see newer Mario characters like Rosalina on Double Dash screen.
Bro when I was a kid I literally had the idea for a double dash sequel where there was four in a kart that’s crazy. Really the only to notable groups I thought of was peach, daisy, rosalina, and pauline, then king boo, petey, king bobomb, and goomboss
How about Henry and Orville from Luigi's Mansion. Their special item can be a Boo.
I hope if we get Mario Kart 9 and not idk.. Mario Kart 8 Turbo Deluxe Extra Sparkles
We get a double dash.. And that mirror mode gets replaced by it
I would buff the babies chain chomp to make you invincible for the duration like bullet bill (also shock doge). Its dumb when your chomp is wasted sometimes.
I also think for the kongs you could pair tiny with either lanky or chunky, considering double dash comes from that era of unique and obscure characters a la pianta and noki
Goomba’s are capable of holding baseball bats without hands. Shame on you for kicking Goomboss out.
A painta would most definitely be heavy
3:07 Pauline is heavy in the right places
Alright here are some combinaison ideas i have ! Also ik some of them are unlikely lol
Florian and Poplin
Nabbit and either a og character like they did with toadette and waluigi or shy guy maybe
H.Bro and Lakitu
Kamek and Kammy(since you know ttyd remake)
Geno and Mallow
Toadsworth and E.Gadd
Plessie and Sprixie
Wiggler and either flutter monty mole or honey queen ig
And finally
Poochy and Polterpup
And yeah ik i skipped the items but i really dont know for those
Floridian and poplin can. Have the wonder flower
Nabbit and Mii can have access to all specials
Hammer bro and lakitu will have a spiny and hammer respectively
Kamek and kammy will have their wands (fire/ice flower clone)
Geno and mallow will have the heart and thunder cloud
Toadsworth and E. Gadd will have the mega mushroom
Plessie and sprixie will have the dash ring
Wiggler and honey queen will have honey syrup (from Mario and Luigi, will work like a blooper, but only hitting one player, or leaving a slick)
Poochy and polterpup will have their owners' respective items
I think Kamek would work better with Shy Guy since Fly Guy and Sniffit would look the same as Shy Guy from behind. Kamek and Shy Guy are both enemies in the Yoshi games, so I think they would go together well.
This Video Is My Introduction To The Channel & I Love The Video & The Idea!
If I'd Change 1 Thing Though, I Would Put Cappy With Tiara.
3:29 for predictions, I hate how accurate this would be.
if this is something you'd like to see, damn, that's sad (Metal Mario is alright tho).
4:29 Sunshine rep lessgo
7:27 also mirrors the fact you can't see anything with Petey on the back with Whomp King
8:24 wait, wasn't Diddy light? why's Dixie so heavy?
Yeah both Diddy and Dixie are medium in the series for whatever reason
@@WumbleWasp no wait, I forgot the Locomokong is the best lightweight kart, and it's Diddy's, so yeah, Dixie is heavier than him (at least according to DD)
@@WindWerehog yeah I completely forgot he was light in double dash. I guess they could either make Diddy medium, or change Dixie to light. I think it'd be better if they were the same weights.
Could have used Candy kong and tiny kong, white shygal to differentiate them from shyguy and represent Yoshi's story from the 64 and maybe toadsworth
Nah I feel like they would make it triple dash
I'd love to see the return of Lanky and Chunky Kong
One combo I would kill for is easily Fawful and Midbus. Ik M&L is currently dead rn due to AlphaDream going bankrupt, but they are an iconic duo, and Fawful just makes me happy.
A dog duo: Poochy and Polterpup
Kart - Spikey dog bowl
Special - Bone 🦴. Throws 3 horizontal spinning bones that hover over the ground similar to the boomerang item. Can hit more than one player per bone.
gooigi and egadd?
I think dry bones’ special item should be the bone he throws in the older games. It could be kind of like the boomerang flower, but only coming back twice.
I never played Mario Kart Double Dash but my only memory of MKDD is the wii cd version of this game at a place called Swim Gym when I was a kid.
My suggestion of special characters are a duo of R.O.B & Captain Falcon. Odd you may say, but I just think it would be a neat way of introducing special guests similar to Mario Kart 8. I mean R.O.B has appeared in the MKDS & Falcon seems fitting for the car racing theme!
Blooper and hammer bro could also work as a combo since they were both unlockable characters in mario party 8. Also instead of a regular Luma you could pair Rosalina with Lubba from galaxy 2.
I’d say Pauline would pair nicely with Cranky, showing how much their partnership has grown ever since the old days. Maybe Cappie could get paired with Tiara, and we could bring in Mallow and Geno.
My Roster:
Mario & Luigi
Peach & Daisy
Baby Mario & Baby Luigi
Bower & BJ
Boo & Dry Bones
Goomba & Koopa Troopa
Monty & Rocky
Pauline & Rosalina
Diddy Kong & Dixie
Kandi & Tiny
Baby Peach & Baby Daisy
Wario & Waluigi
DK & Funky
Toad & Toadette
Yoshi & Birdo
Metal Mario & Pink Gold Peach
Peachette & Stanley The Bugman
ShyGuy & Nabbit
Dry Bowser & King Boo
Pianta & Noki
E.Gadd & Toadsworth
Boom Boom & Pom & Pom
DK Jr. & Koopa Kid
An idea for a combo In this hypothetical game is a guest character sonic and tails
Fun fact Mario was going to be a wii exclusive in sonic and sega allstars racing but was cut cus of the Olympic Games and there special item will be chaos emeralds make them turn super and faster and take no damage also in this hypothetical game I want the special items to be like the sonic and sega allstars racing allstars strong rare and faster
Goomboss mention gives me life.
I feel like the 'two player characters' idea. Would make a cool mode for other mario kart games.
How about Conker, and Banjo and Kazooie? That would be a neat pair from rare for a guest appearance
This video is offensive towards Goombas. They can hold baseball bats in their arms!
In all seriousness, fun video!
I reckon you should do a part 2 or something where you talk more about a double dash 2 or remake of the original with these characters.
I also think Shy Guy could go with Kamek/Magikoopa as seen in Mario Party 9
Roster isnt bad and honestly for a sequel to MKDD, any new characters added on to the base roster of Double Dash is fine for me. But with that being said, imo Pauline should be medium weight, ik she's tall but I just feel medium is more fitting, idk(Im kind of comparing Waluigi since he's also tall but a medium weight in DD), but Pianta's should DEFINITELY be heavy weights imo. Having Dixie isnt a bad idea at all, but me personally for Funky Kong, I would pair him with Candy Kong(Or We can have Dixie with Kiddy Kong, I saw someone else say this and I kinda love this idea). And lastly Pom pom has to be a heavy weight. Thats all my critiques but again, any new addition to MKDD's roster is fine so im good with anything, plus you have some perfect teams imo, with King Bob-Omb and Whomp King, Pinata and Noki, Pauline and Cappy, a lot of thse3 pairs would be so cool in a MKDD sequel!
Shy Guy and King Bob-Omb have alternative pairings for me.
Shy Guy and Kamek
King Bob-Omb and King K. Rool.
For Boo to work, you'd have to give the actual King Boo color for it, so they can actually feel different instead of making King Boo feel like "Just a Boo with a Crown".
Guest characters could work given 8 DLC. I pick Ness and Lucas. They would be light or medium weight. Item could be the ramblin mushroom that could mirror controls (left is right and vise versa) kart could be a Mr. Saturn and a Drago.
And also, if you get a perfect score, instead of getting a gold trophy, you get a PLATINUM trophy and lots and shiny jewels and gemstones and other fancy details
Cranky and Donkey Kong Jr. Would be really cool since it could be like a father and son duo racer
I would change peachs and daisys special item, so that it only works on special items. To me this is a buff, because you won't pick up "trash items" like green shells or regular bananas.
Here a idea why not have one of a paper Mario series or Mario and Luigi series character as a character combtion like fawful and cackalatta (i think that how you spell that name) or maybe Geno and mallow from super Mario RPG cause of the remake
Maybe the paintbrush item from the sunshine duo could splatter oil smears onto the track? Oil paint is a real thing!
Imagine all those characters in mario kart double dash deluxe
