The year 2020 is the year of the rat as the Chinese zodiac calendar has restarted its cycle. It's been a harrowing year with the coronavirus outbreak, and the gaming industry hasn't been immune to the effects of this virus. However, aside from a few setbacks, most games are scheduled to release on time without delay.
The Mario Kart series is recognized for competitive racing and addictive multiplayer. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe proves that kart racing is more than a past time. The game offers polished tracks and a diverse set of characters. Based on your Chinese zodiac animal's personality and traits, we will tell you which Mario Kart racer you are. Which Mario Kart character are you, based on your Chinese zodiac?
12 Rat: Luigi
Luigi is a fitting rat because of his characteristics and personality. Rats are viewed as intelligent, but they lack courage. Arguably, Luigi is one of the most courageous Mario Kart characters because of the horrific circumstances he endures in the Luigi's Mansion series.
Were you born in 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, or 2008? Your lucky colors are blue, gold, and green! You are Luigi, Mario's younger, lankier brother.
11 Ox: Rosalina
Rosalina is depicted as a strong, independent woman who is tasked with protecting the cosmos. In Super Mario Galaxy, she looks after the Comet Observatory while mothering Lumas, star-like organisms. Although reserved at times, her traits make her the spitting image of an ox Chinese zodiac.
Were you born in 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, or 2009? You are Rosalina, a character with great knowledge of the universe!
10 Tiger: Waluigi
Waluigi is a Mario Kart character who represents two different personalities. Considered the tiger Chinese zodiac, he has played both the villain and the anti-hero, lacking traditional heroic attributes. As a stubborn character, he likes to do things his way. He is to Luigi what Wario is to Mario, a reverse character and a rival.
Were you born in 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, or 2010? You are Waluigi, a character who was first introduced in Mario Tennis.
9 Rabbit: Princess Daisy
Although she is a more outgoing character than Peach, Daisy has a pure heart. Daisy is characterized as a tomboy with an attitude. She may even come off as superficial. Did you know that Princess Daisy first appeared in the game Super Mario Land (1989)?
Were you born in the year of the rabbit? Your years are 2011, 1999, 1987, 1975, and 1963. Your Mario Kart character is Princess Daisy!
8 Dragon: Bowser
As the fire-breathing antagonist of the Super Mario series, Bowser is not open to criticism. Contrary to popular belief, Bowser is not a dragon. Also known as King Koopa, he is actually part of a turtle-like species called Koopa Troopa. However, he is reminiscent of the Chinese zodiac dragon for his authoritative personality and sharp tongue.
Were you born in 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, or 2012? Your Mario Kart character is Bowser!
7 Snake: King Boo
One of the lesser-known characters of Mario Kart first appeared in Luigi's Mansion serving as the main antagonist. As someone who wears a crown, and is the self-proclaimed king of the Boos, it could be said that he is materialistic like a Chinese zodiac snake. King Boo is a character of few words. He speaks solemnly when the time is right.
Were you born in 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, or 2013? You are King Boo, a heavyweight in the Mario Kart games.
6 Horse: Wario
As someone loud and obnoxious, Wario fits the profile of a Chinese zodiac horse. The horse is lively and animated. Although Wario is depicted as more of a loner, his cunning makes him a fitting horse.
Were you born in 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, or 2014? Your lucky colors are green and yellow. Your kart racer character is Wario, Mario's rival.
5 Sheep: Princess Peach
The year of the sheep is also referred to as the goat or the ram. Chinese astrologers haven't come to a consensus on which one it is. Princess Peach is well-suited for the sheep because of her calm and gentle nature. As a princess, she spends on glamorous outfits to give her a fetching appearance. Princess Peach is someone who likes groups but doesn't necessarily have to be the center of attention.
Were you born in 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, or 2015? Your Mario Kart character is Princess Peach, Mario's love interest.
4 Monkey: Donkey Kong
As someone who would rather be at DK's Tree House in the middle of a forest than be caught in an urban area, Donkey Kong is a Chinese zodiac monkey. He's not above practical jokes, and he's a fast learner. His inquisitive nature makes him the spitting image of a monkey.
Were you born in 2016, 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, or 1956? Your Chinese zodiac animal is the monkey, and your Mario Kart racer is Donkey Kong!
3 Rooster: Yoshi
Ever since his first appearance in Super Mario World, Yoshi has become a prominent Nintendo character. Yoshi is not a shy character, but we rarely see his species speak. Despite being a less vocal character, Yoshi loves to be in crowds. His connection with his friends only grew since his first game appearance. Chinese zodiac roosters are often popular.
Were you born in 2017, 2005, 1993, 1981, 1969, or 1957? Your Mario Kart racer is Yoshi, the green dinosaur.
2 Dog: Bowser Jr.
Known for being a trouble-maker, Bowser Jr. is the son of Bowser. In many ways, he is the miniature version of his father. Loyal like the Chinese zodiac dog, he will do anything to satisfy Bowser's evil will.
Were you born in 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, or 2018? Your lucky colors are green, red, and purple. Your Mario Kart character is Bowser Jr.
1 Pig: Mario
As the titular character of the Mario Kart racing series, Mario fits the profile of the last animal in the Chinese zodiac calendar. Mario is a pig who is compatible with the goat (Princess Peach). When he's not busy defeating Bowser, Mario is hard at work as a plumber. He has a warm heart and would help anyone in distress. Mario is easily fooled, given how many times Bowser has tricked him.
Were you born in 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, or 2007? Your Mario Kart character is Mario, Nintendo's mascot.
