Mattel Adds Pink Gold Peach To Its Mario Kart Hot Wheels Line

Wait till Nathaniel Bandy sees this.

@Nintendude78 dang beat me to it!😅

Nintendo likes to remind us of the character fluff they added into the line up instead of giving it to one of the countless characters missing.

Nathaniel bandy sees this headline, throws his phone, then goes and cries

i'll never understand way Nintendo made these characters instead of costumes. like how they handle Inkling, Villager, and maybe Shy Guys and Yoshi? (it's been awhile since i played Mario Kart 8 in general.)
point is, these characters could had been better off as costumes.
as for the toys, they look cool.

Pink Gold Peach sure knows how to make salt mines in people.

Hilarious that this is a convention exclusive. They know their audience — convention-focused grown adults arguably care way more about a Pink Gold Peach Hot Wheels car than children (the usual target audience for Hot Wheels).

So uncivilized.

@Nintendude78 dang it, wasn’t fast enough to make this comment.

This has to be one of the lamest characters Nintendo has ever created, but she still shows up more in recent years, then other, way more interesting ones such as Captain Falcon or Fox McCloud.

It still baffles me to this day that Nintendo has such a rich cast of Mario characters but barely utilizes them. Like, not saying PGP replaced them because obviously she was just a quick last second addition (but i still hate her), but like... just browse a list of Mario characters and/or enemies sometime. There are SO MANY!

Heck, they could have probably made a similar choice as with PGP, and to an extent Baby Daisy and Baby Rosalina, and make like a little recolor of Koopa, add some wristbands and boom, you have Kooper from Paper Mario and many, many, many, many, MANY more people would be happy about this addition. Especially if they'd then keep building further on adding other specific RPG characters like that. Adding just Kooper would be just about as easy as PGP, but it would be soooooo much better.

(... okay so maybe I am saying a little that PGP took the spot of other potential characters.)

Still confuses me why they put Metal Mario, Tanooki Mario, Pink Gold Peach, and Cat Peach all on separate character slots, instead of treating them like "costumes". They could've added even more costumes if they did that and I wouldn't have minded.

But I really thought that when Odyssey came out that they would add Pauline in an update... it's also missing characters like Birdo, Petey Piranha and such. Heck they could even have put Boom Boom and Pom Pom in there.

There's so many characters and yet these spin offs have wildly inconsistent rosters.

People are complaining about "ugh THIS character eww"
but come on
that figure looks beautiful

Starman wars: The salt awakens

Why do companies making children's toys distribute particular models only to adults who attend a niche convention?

Oooh! How much is it?

Also still waiting for them to bring out Koopa Troopa in a Standard Kart so I can complete the collection of SNES Super Mario Kart original characters in Standard Karts.

Also I hope one day they release Funky Kong or Link in any Kart.

🤢🤢🤢🤢 pink gold peach is gross

@xzacutor same here. I try only to get the standard kart characters. I bought a few just to have but id like to get them in standard karts like koopa and waluigi. Id like to have at least all the ones thru double dash as those are my favorites.

Got mine ordered this morning for just under $35USD and they deliver to Australia.

@xzacutor I wasn’t so lucky. I checked in the morning but it had already sold out. Good catch tho.
