Another combination idea. Prince Florian and Poplin.

0:13 When you're working a shift and it's just you and your boss.

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

Geno And Mallow would be great but that is asking Square for permission to use both of them

Missed opportunity to have Dixie kong be paired with either tiny kong, or kiddy kong

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.

I wish a new Mario Kart game could include Warioware characters like Ashley, Mona, Red, Penny, and Warioman

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

I would main King Bob-omb and Whomp King in a HEARTBEAT

This is a brilliant concept, WumbleWasp! This is like how I would discuss concepts for new games in articles on my blogs! :)

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.

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.

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!

I think geno and mallow from mario rpg would be a pretty awesome combo, especially with the remake bringing the two back into relevancy

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 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

Love your choices of characters and special items. Keep up the great work!

Justice for Sniffit, they deserve better

I think it’s worth noting that Waluigi is medium in this game, so Pauline and Rosalina could go the same route.

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 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 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)

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

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

“I decided against Goomboss because he has no arms” *chooses blooper as Boo’s partner*

Great roster king

Im surprised you didn't pair dry bones and boo considering how common a duo they are, still, good roster!

How about Henry and Orville from Luigi's Mansion. Their special item can be a Boo.

Nice roster. Pianta and Noki duo is especially awesome

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.

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.

Snifit would definitely be a welcome surprise as compared to Fly Guy, would also make for a unique item

Mario Kart Ds 2 would be aokay for me plus those combination ideas feel like DLC

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!

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.

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.

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

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)

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

Goomboss mention gives me life.

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

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.

inb4 all the inevitable jokes about Pink Gold Peach and Nathaniel Bandy

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

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

Idea: e gad, and polterpup (or gooigi) fun fact, e gad was originally going to be in Mario kart DS,

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.

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

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.

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

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

Not gonna lie, This is would be better then 8 deluxe roster's

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'd love to see the return of Lanky and Chunky Kong

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".

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.

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!

A painta would most definitely be heavy

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!

How about Conker, and Banjo and Kazooie? That would be a neat pair from rare for a guest appearance

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 feel like the 'two player characters' idea. Would make a cool mode for other mario kart games.

Why cant the shy guys have a turnip or carrot to throw at enemies behind them (like an idle shell)

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.

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.

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.

Funky Kong and Dixie Kong could be “alternate costumes” for DK and Diddy, so that neither of them are separated! As for who should take their place, maybe Toadsworth and E. Gadd? Admittedly, they’re an odd pairing, but they’re both elderly and have interacted in Partners in Time. Edit: inspired by someone else’s comment, I feel like Kamek and Toady (the red Magikoopa) would be a much better combination.

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.

what if the paint brush acted like the tanooki tail from 7 but on hit gave a blooper ink effect on the victims screen

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.

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

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.

It's somehow cursed to see newer Mario characters like Rosalina on Double Dash screen.

I have a preference for the fly guy/shy guy team you make

Imagine all those characters in mario kart double dash deluxe

Shy Guy and King Bob-Omb have alternative pairings for me. Shy Guy and Kamek King Bob-Omb and King K. Rool.

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"

Nabbit and goomba, and Lakitu and wiggler would be my favorite pairs

Cranky and Donkey Kong Jr. Would be really cool since it could be like a father and son duo racer

Luigi's Mansion duo Ideas Professor E. Gadd and one of the normal ghosts (probably the yellow ghost, which E.Gadd encounters in his first cutscene) or maybe even one of the boss ghosts like Chauncey (baby ghost) from LM1. Kart could be the poltergeist from Mario Kart DS and Chauncey's crib. Special could be the poltergeist which can pull other racers closer to more easily land the classic double dash punch/shove. Another idea for the poltergeist is that it uses the strobe light from LM2 to blind other players or stun them. Chauncey's special could be the rattling toy he uses, violently whacking anyone that is nearby. Henry and Orville (ghost twins from LM1). Their karts could be the toy train and toy plane they use in their bossfight. Their special could be the boxes they hide inside of. These could act like a "Jack in the box" which when placed, springs out and attacks anyone within a small radius. Gooigi and Polterpup(LM2/LM3) Their karts could be some type of gooey car and another one is a spiked dog bowl 😅(a reference to the dog, Spooky from LM1 and his spiky collar). Their special could be slippery goo that is similar to mud/puddles found in some of the Mario kart tracks. Stays activated for a bit meaning it can hit multiple drivers even after someone already has drove over it.

A good alternative to Funky and Dixie could be K. Rool and Kritter.

Maybe the paintbrush item from the sunshine duo could splatter oil smears onto the track? Oil paint is a real thing!

Goomba’s are capable of holding baseball bats without hands. Shame on you for kicking Goomboss out.

I would love to see Mario Kart Double Dash 2

I think it would make more sense if koopa was paired with roller-skate koopa from super Mario wonder instead.

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?

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

Here is what I would love for Mario Kart. Title: maybe SUPER Mario Kart Double Dash or something like that. Customization: customization for each combination of characters and vehicles should be different from others, having their own unique parts to choose from. No two combination sets being alike. Each two characters get a variety of parts and paint jobs to choose from. Coins: Still function in the racing like in 7 and 8, but also, all the coins you collect in the race will also be used as currency to buy more parts and paint jobs. Courses: Like in 7 and 8, but also maybe add in eventually almost if not all the courses from all past games. And maybe some courses if not all of them go through changes during races Special Items: Special items should return. Like the bros' fireball bursts and Bowser's giant shell and maybe new special items for each character like Mario having a cape feather to fly over everyone and gain a good boost in speed. But it would only last shortly or til you slam the ground blowing away all around you. X3 Stats: Stats should also be able to be tweeked some after you select your vehicle parts. Like say if you want to reduce your weight for the sake of more handling or your traction for better acceleration. But only a limited amount to keep the game balanced. We don't want the speedy cool vehicles like b dasher and P wing to suffer like they did in 8 Deluxe Trophies: For More difficult classes you finish and win, the trophies should get bigger, shinier and more detailed. And If you get a perfect score in a cup, instead of a gold trophy, you oughta get a SHINY SPARKLY FANCY DETAILS PLATINUM TROPHY. Most importantly, it needs to have all karts bikes mtvs and combos worthy of being awesome in competitive online. Speed vehicles being REALLY speedy to make up for low acceleration. And MAYBE a decent mini turbo in case they get slammed alot. Also keep 200cc and all cup tour

Metal Mario and Metal Peach is great pair except for the item. In Double Dash, pairs have access to the same item except with the Koopas with shells with similar behaviors. A better item for them would be the Metal Cap. This would activate their metal protection and make them impervious to item attacks and also further increase their weight stat to surpass the Koopa King or the Pipe Karts. It wouldn't knock players off their karts or make them loose items or ignore environmental dmg like the Star.

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.

Just for some third party rep maybe Sonic & Tails? Idk I feel like at a certain point, Sonic *should* be added to Mario Kart considering his games are all about speed. And yes Ik SEGA already has the all-star racing games but they haven’t released one since 2012. And it’d be nice to see the blue blue featured in a game alongside Mario aside from the Olympics games (or Smash for that matter)

Paper Mario Duo Ideas Paper Mario and Paper Luigi or one of the partners from PM1/PM2(probably Goombario or Goombella, the first partners of both games) Karts: Paper boat or paper plane (Paper Mario's transformations from TTYD) Special ideas: Hammer - Whack multiple nearby opponents Star Spirit (PM64/ Crystal Star (TTYD) - Lullaby Star Spirit power which puts enemies asleep. Mash to wake up. Chill Out Star Spirit power which freezes enemies. Mash to break out. Star Storm Star Spirit power which hails down stars onto the track. Timeout Star Spirit power which freezes the opponent in place for a while. Earth Tremor Crystal Star power which acts as a P.O.W. block. Time input to avoid spinning out. Pixl (Super Paper Mario) Boomer pixl - acts as bomb Huey(Color Splash) - splats paint on the track acting as a slippery puddle or a blooper covering the opponent's screen with paint. Giant Paper Fan (Origami King) - huge gust of wind blowing opponents away messing with their driving 1000 Fold Arms(Origami King) - Grab an opponent and throw them away or perform a barrage of punches.

What if R.O.B. and E.Gadd were a pair? One of them was in the MKDS Beta and one was in the final version

Shy guy and Snifit is good enough for me :D I would actually love seeing snifit in a mario kart game

Wiggler and Flutter would make an interesting duo! 👀

Funky could have Kiddy Kong as a partner, or even have Dixie and Kiddy. His kart could've been based off of his hovercraft from DKC3 or one of his various planes throughout the series Another idea is the Banisher from MKDS for Dry Bones' kart

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.

While it would suck to not have Funky you could pair Dixie up with Kiddy Kong or Tiny Kong
