A European website by the name of Redex specializes in cars and motor vehicles, selling various products that help in the assistance of maintaining customer’s personal vehicles. Apparently, the company is also a very big fan ofMario Kart,and the company went on to survey two thousand British people on what their favoriteMario Kartcharacters and courses were. However, the results were split almost evenly between Mario andPrincess Peachas the control group’s favoriteMario Kartracer.
Mario managed to beat out Peach by a mere two votes, but even so, between two thousand people, that is an incredibly close margin. What was even more interesting was the fact that theVillager fromAnimal Crossingmanaged to place in the top ten. Though, favorite racer was not the only aspect ofMario Kartthat Redex was interested in asking people about.
In addition to racers, Redex surveyed people asking what their favorite courses, items, and overallMario Kartgames are. The survey said that the favoriteMario Kartcourse was the notorious Rainbow Road, which is not that surprising a choice, considering that the course has existed sinceSuper Mario Kart.In fact, oneMario Kart Liveplayer managed to 3-D print a version of Rainbow Roadfor the live action game.
According to the survey, the best item in the game is the Mushroom speed boost item, and the most annoying item is the Bullet Bill. Lastly, Redex showed what the company’s all-time favoriteMario Kartgame is and the final result wasMario Kart 8 Deluxe,but this also included nine other games including titles likeMario Kart: Double DashandMario Kart DS. Overall, it’s a great way to celebrate the franchise as a whole.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxeis available now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
