OneMario Kart Worldfan proposed a neat idea for spicing up the game’s water routes: have them feature Gooper Blooper as a hazard. The proposal gained some traction on social media, even prompting other fan ideas about how to improveMario Kart World.
As was the case withpriorMario Kartgames,MK Worldfeatures a plethora of hazards scattered throughout its courses. Rolling Chain Chomps, Hammer Bros brigades, and Bullet Bill launchers are just some such obstacles that players need to avoid if they are to have any hope of consistently emerging triumphant.
Thinking about extending this pattern, Reddit user Beaks7777777 has recently put forward a simple proposal: a Gooper Blooper hazard. The fan argued that this lore-friendly addition would be a logical fit, though they mistakenly referred to Gooper Blooper as Big Blooper, which is a separate entity in the ever-expandingMariolore.
Some Fans Want Blooper Added to Mario Kart World Roster
Their proposal made the rounds on several subreddits, prompting some additional discussion among fans. One person chiming in on the idea opined that the regular Blooper would also be a great addition to theMario Kart Worldroster, which some have criticized as lacking due to notable omissions. In particular, the absence of Diddy Kong previously drew loud complaints from longtime fans, while others expressed frustration over the perceived overrepresentation of generic NPC characters.
As far as the Gooper Blooper proposal is concerned, the chances ofMario Kart Worldembracing it do not appear high right now. If the game were to truly add this iconic character—first introduced in thebelovedSuper Mario Sunshineon the GameCube—that would most likely happen in DLC tracks. More broadly, altering existing tracks with new hazards post-release would mark an unprecedented move for Nintendo. Downloadable content also remains the most plausible avenue for those hoping to see the standard Blooper added to the game’s character roster.
Nintendo has yet to give any indication thatMario Kart Worldwill be getting DLC in any shape or form. Still, the absence of immediate post-launch content plans does not rule out future additions. This possibility is supported by recent precedent: the previous mainline entry in the franchise,Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, received its Booster Course Pass more than five years after its initial release. For now, it’s evident that roster omissions have not hindered the new game’s commercial performance, withMario Kart Worldsurpassing 1 million sales less than a month after launch.
