Characters[]

Starting[]

  • Mario - Our main man himself, Mario has piloted a number of vehicles over the years, especially aircraft. He's entering the Mushroom Kingdom Air Sports League for some airborne thrills.
    • Sky Pop - Mario's plane, recently rebuilt and refitted for use in the Air Sports League. An all-rounder in all areas, making it ideal for beginners.


  • Wario - One of Mario's rivals, this greedy, garlic-munching fatsack has been through a number of misadventures, all involving loot and treasure. Seeing that Mario is entering in the competition, he brings his trusty seaplane, the Bulldog, out of retirement in order to upstage him.
    • Bulldog - Reinforced to take plenty of punishment, the Bulldog suffers in agility and acceleration from the added weight. It has pretty good top speed, though, as well as a good amount of weapon power.
