Best known for going from smiles to Hulk-rage in a matter of moments, Wiggler brings an interesting set of possibilities to Nintendo’s racing franchise. Wiggler, the yellow stack of balls with a huge brown nose, has been staple Mario enemy since the days of Super Mario World.
MARIO KART 7 3DS RELEASE DATE DRIVERS
Nintendo already confirmed Metal Mario and Lakitu as new additions (though I’m still not sure who’ll be starting the race now), and adds Wiggler and Honey Bee with the promise of other unlockable drivers still to be announced. The newest installment, slated to go on sale December 4th for the 3DS handheld, is no exception. Much like Super Smash Brothers, and pretty much any Mario sports title, the Mario Kart series has always allowed for a large set of playable characters from the series’ expansive, well-known universe. Well, all of that discrimination is finally changing as Nintendo is showing some love to our multi-footed friends by adding Wiggler and Honey Bee to the roster of Mario Kart 7. Sure there were some armored beetles running around a cave or two in the earlier Mario titles, and no one is denying the small hoards of butterflies hovering about in the N64 version, but up until now, none of the arthropoda phylum have gotten much love in Nintendo’s bevy of Mario spin-off titles.
There are all manner of creatures in the Mushroom Kingdom -man-eating plants, pregnant squids, turtle monsters sporting healthy superiority complexes – but one set of critters has always been somewhat underrepresented: the bugs. An overweight bee and a flower-headed caterpillar confirmed as playable drivers in the upcoming installment of Nintendo’s famous kart-racing franchise.
