It's-A Me

If Mario is your go-to character, you’re either younger and a huge fan of the character or a die-hard fan. You live for the classics and probably drink Coke and eat plain cheese pizza while playing.

You’re good at the game but maybe not quite a star and you definitely use a classic vehicle. Most players who pick Mario are humble and just happy to be a part of the fun. You usually place fourth or fifth.

11 Any Of The Babies

Not-A Bad For A Baby

Close

If any of the Babies, such as Baby Peach or Baby Mario, are your main, you're the mom of your friend group. You like adorable things and don’t take the game too seriously, but have a fantastic time whenever you play it.

Even though players who pick the babies tend to be sweet, they can be absolutely ruthless with their shells. They will strike anyone with a blue, green, or red shell with no remorse, and they almost always hit you.

10 King Boo

Mwa-ha-ha! Surprise!

Players who choose King Boo are here to have a great time. They are really fun to play with because they don’t care about coming in first; they just care about beating their own ranking.

If King Boo is your main, you probably have a great sense of humor, and though you’re a little bit shy, you love to be surrounded by friends.

9 Birdo

How Could You?

Close

Birdo players, you are competitive and ready to rock the boat, no matter the consequences. Some Birdo players will even destroy anything and everything in their path while laughing at their fallen friends.

Birdo players might bad mouth you if you beat them and drag you if you lose to them. They are ruthless, but fantastic at the game. If you have a Birdo player in your group, consider yourself lucky.

8 Princess Peach

Bingo! Bye-Bye!

Close

Princess Peach is a widely known favorite. She’s a strong, independent queen of the mushrooms that so many look up to. She's not afraid to win and to take people down to get there.

Princess Peach lovers are fearless, and some are willing to absolutely destroy their friends in Mario Kart. They will never give up, no matter how many times they lose. They’re cool without even trying and have an awesome sense of style.

7 Inkling Girl

5 Petey Piranha

Let's-A-Go!

3 Shy Guy

I Ain't Scared... I'm Terrified!

If Shy Guy is your main, you’re artsy and spontaneous. You prefer to be around a few friends rather than a larger group. You’re humble, maybe even to a fault.
