Mario Kart Characters

Mario Kart is one of my favorite games.  I really like the Bullet Bike and Rainbow Road (my sister calls it My Little Pony Land).  My favorite character is my own mii.  You earn your own mii by winning the 100cc Special Cup.

Here are how you win other characters.  These come from a cheat book, "Cheat Code Explosions."

• Baby Luigi unlock 8 expert staff ghost data in time trials
• Dry Bowser earn 1 star in 150cc for Mushroom, Flower, Star, and Special cup
• King Boo win 50cc Star Cup (that's easy)
• Bowser Jr. earn 1 star in 100cc for Shell, Banana, Leaf, and Lightning cups
• Dry Bones win 100cc Leaf Cup

It can be hard to earn stuff.  You can have your own file and earn everything yourself or you can share a file and earn stuff faster.  

What is your favorite character?
