{{llquote|The other notable omission is in the cast of characters’ diversity. After 30 years there are still zero Mario characters of color, a problem that [[Mario Kart 8]] highlights by lining up all the characters on a single screen. When it comes to human characters, Mario Kart 8 is overwhelmingly white. Of the 29 drivers, 14 are human (including Toad and Toadette), and every single one of them is white. While it’d be atypical of Nintendo to introduce new characters into a Mario Kart game, it’s also where the deficit is the most obvious, and during play I found myself disappointed that Nintendo’s stable of characters so painfully fails to reflect the diversity of its audience.|Paste Magazine}} | {{llquote|The other notable omission is in the cast of characters’ diversity.
