Minor Vehicular Mastery Additions for Mario Bros.

[Starter_Pack]

A very simple addition that I'm sure most people will find acceptable. With the release of the brand new game, Mario Kart World, we have had a plethora of characters suddenly become playable for the very first time, mostly minor characters and species. I would like to propose the addition of the Vehicular Mastery to the following profiles:

• Goomba
• Hammer Bro
• Chargin' Chuck
• Spike
• Conkdor
• King Bob-omb (playable in Mario Kart Tour)
• Poochy (playable in Mario Kart Tour)

I also feel there is room to talk about the item boxes in Mario Kart, either listing the abilities of the appropriate items in every available racer's profile, or creating an entirely separate profile for them similar to the Sonic item box profile. However, that is for another time, I feel.

Looks simple enough.

Given how blatant goombas and the other glup shittos are able to drive cars, I dont see any issue with this. Agreed.

 

[ShakeResounding]

Definitely agree with this!

 

[Dalesean027]

Sure this is fine

I agree for obvious reasons, but I actually have been thinking about something regarding this, and that is whether or not this should grant Acrobatics.

The reason I say this is that, in Mario Kart World, there’s a LOT of insane movement options like wall riding, charge jumping, and rail grinding that would qualify for acrobatics if not for the fact that this is being done using vehicles, which makes it less clear whether or not it qualifies as another ability as apposed to simply being an extension of the cast’s vehicular mastery

Like I said, I don’t know what the exact standards are on this sort of thing, but I’d like to discuss it with you guys as it could honestly go either way imo

Personally, I feel that this is just an extension of the Trick system, which has been present since Wii, pushed to its logical conclusion. Acrobatics, meanwhile, pertain that the characters themselves are capable of such feats without the need for vehicles.

So, I'm just gonna go with no on giving characters Acrobatics just because their karts are able to pull wicked stunts. It's just an extension of their Vehicular Mastery.

Could give the carts Surface Scaling/Levitation since they can go up and down walls and steep incline (I don't recall if all the carts in the franchise history use those floating wheels or not). Also you could probably add flight given they can fly over large gaps easily.

Agreed with the proposal for obvious reasons

 

[Kurokitomo]

this can be applied now

Have the changes been applied yet?

We should probably conclude wether or not the karts themselves should have surface scaling and or acrobatics due to being able to propel themselves and ride along walls

Hmm, good idea.

 

[Dalesean027]

This is fine

Can this be added, then?

 

[Dalesean027]

Yes

 

[JPTheGamer]

I added it to the rest of the profiles. Can these characters have surface scaling, too?

 

[Dalesean027]

I don't see why not since they can drive on walls

Alright, I added it to the listed profiles.
