Mario Kart 8 Headcanons

Summary:

I just finished one of Alex’s 3 hour long streams ("bing chillin w/ da vol2 gang from 1/17/22") and now I’m like super deep in MC brainrot.
Anyways, here are my headcanons for MC characters playing Mario Kart. I may include other fandoms in the near future :eyes:

Chapter 1: Mandela Catalogue

Notes:

Heads up, this is going up the theory that Adam is the baby in the cradle and he's looking for his mom.
Also, this is written as if The Big Four (Mark, Cesar, Adam, Jonah) played all together

Chapter Text

  • Just to be a dick, Six would interrupt an intense game by appearing on screen or messing with someone’s character (everyone except for Cesar's)
    • When he messes with a character, he causes that player to lose. But when the player tries to explain, no one believes them, even if they were telling the truth.
    • One of the losing players would blame their loss on him just to avoid taking the L
      • I can hear Adam going “Suuuuuuuureeee” if Jonah or Mark tried to pin their loss on a guilty (or innocent) Six
  • Adam and Jonah are like 11 Year Olds On The Xbox (tm)
    • They keep making dick/sex/ur mom jokes through out
    • If someone makes a sex joke with Adam’s mom he'll say “...Bro, thats necrophilia” (but then again, thats saying that he accepts shes dead)
  • They all play on Adam’s or Jonah’s Switch on Cesar's TV
  • Adam and Jonah get really competitive with others
    • Yeah, like friendship does not matter in this

Chapter 3: The Walten Files pt 2 the electric boogaloo

Chapter Text

  • Bon
    • Won’t play unless Sha asks him to
    • Picks a random course, character, and kart just to get it over with
      • Doesn’t know that the karts each have a different weight and shit that affect gameplay. He’d just be sitting there the whole time wondering why he’s doing so bad. Eventually ends up rage quitting
      • Blames losses on the game, saying “This game is stupid!”
        • He’s not going to take the L so easily
  • Sha
    • Favorite Course: Moo Moo Meadows
    • Character: Daisy
    • Like Bon, she doesn’t know that the karts have different weights and shit. Instead of rage quitting, she’ll just keep playing
    • Probably ends up around last place
  • Banny
    • Favorite course: Sweet Sweet Canyon and Ribbon Road(?)
    • Character: Cat Peach
    • Picks kart solely off of aesthetic
      • Typically uses the Cat cruiser
    • Gets very worked up over the game. Bon constantly yells at her for it
    • Plays with Billy or Boozoo all the time, sometimes even Sha
    • Button mashing
    • If she gets a turtle shell, she’ll throw it randomly. She doesn’t even realize she's suppose to be throwing it *at* someone
  • Boozoo
    • Favorite course: Mario Kart Stadium
    • Character: Mario
    • Typically uses the Sneaker
    • Not a sore loser; probably would be the first one out of the bunch to learn about the stats since he keeps trying (unlike Bon who eventually gives up) and isn’t a complete dumbass (unlike Sha and Banny who are)
    • Accidentally learns about some of the driving techs and teaches them to others
      • Bon would yell at him for it/act like he knew about them the entire time and just chose not to use them
  • Billy
    • Favorite course: Sweet Sweet Canyon and Ribbon Road
    • Character: Lemmy
    • Button mashing
    • Has used Mr.Scooty and the Streetle at least once
  • Banny often plays with Billy and vice versa
    • If Billy isn’t there, Sha or Boozoo will play with her and vice versa
  • Boozoo (and lowkey Sha) cares more about the bonding experience rather than the actual game itself
  • Banny and Billy have rarely made it to the top 3 but still enjoy playing

 

  • Pumpkin Rabbit
    • Favorite Course: Twisted Mansion
    • Character: Dry Bowser
    • Plays because his wife asks him to
  • Witch Sheep
    • Favorite course: Take a wild guess (Twisted Mansion) 
      • Or Moo Moo Meadows

Chapter Text

  • Alan
    • Favorite track: Mario Circuit (Shell Cup), Tick-Tock Clock, Cheese Land
    • Character: Mario or Luigi
    • First one to learn about the karts’ different stats. Been using them ever since
      • Might like to decide on a cup and then choose the kart?
    • Completely against the smart driving option (he feels like it's cheating)
    • Closely calculates before he throws turtle shells and such
    • When he plays alone on his own console, he stops at nothing to get a gold trophy for each of the Cups

    • Choses karts based off of looks
      • Likes the Biddybuggy or the Streetle
    • Uses the smart driving much to Alan's disapproval 
      • Alan: “Glep, that’s cheating, there's no skill in cheating”
    • When he gets the fire flower, he throws them randomly without any sort of calculations
      • Drives Alan crazy
    • Most likely to rage quit during the game
  • Pim 
    • Favorite track: Likes all of them (but I think his favorite is Sunshine Airport)
    • Character: Luigi
    • Rarely comes in top 3
    • Probably cares more about the bonding experience with friends than winning 
  • Charlie
    • Favorite track: Mario Kart Stadium, Excitebike Arena
      • I can also see him not having a favorite 
    • Character: Mario, Luigi, Wario
    • Typically uses the Sneaker(?)
  • Pim often asks Charlie to play, completely forgetting that Charlie's uncle gets into a lot of car accidents
  • Alan often plays with Glep
  • Pim would accidentally discover driving techs while playing and would try to show them to others
  • Alan studies the driving techs

Notes:

Two games of Rainbow road would give the boss a heart attack <3

      • Won the majority of rounds so he didn't get suspicious 
  • Teruhashi
    • Favorite course: Moo Moo Meadows, Royal Raceway, Tokyo Blur
      • But probably keeps her favorite course a secret; she just says “Oh, I love them all, I don’t know which one to choose [as my favorite]!” 
      • When playing with others, she choses the course 98% of the time
    • Character: Peach, Rosaline
