Longing for a race after so long, this kremling exchanged her Barrel pack for a kart to show she is just as good on land as she is in the air. Here is:
Kalypso:
Speed 7, Weight 4
kart0014.gif

I tried matching the stats close enough to her Barrel Blast stats. Sounds are taken from Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast.

Hailing from the continent of Tellius, he is man of high noble standing and a true appreciator of all things beautiful. Normally he wouldn't sully his image being around such slovenly characters, but he has made it his mission to being beauty to Kart. Here is:
Oliver:
Speed 3, Weight 9
kart0013.gif
Being the big man he is, he is quite the heavyweight. While he may not be the fastest, don't count out this guardian of beauty. Sounds are taken from Fire Emblem Heroes.

Hailing from the Unova region, this little otter is here to show they got the scallops to compete! Here is:
Oshawott:
Speed 4, Weight 2
kart0012.gif

Oshawott is a little guy so expect them to get bumped around easily. Sounds are pulled from various Pokemon media.

This hedgehog's appearence in kart may come as a surprise to her family, but she is putting aside her shyness to bring attention to her family's business. Don't worry though. She isn't slacking on sewing even while racing. What a worker! Here is:
Sable Able:
Speed 4, Weight 5
kart0011.gif

She is sporting pretty balanced stats so she can handle most you throw at her. Sounds are taken from various Animal Crossing games.

Hailing from the planet Gaia, he arrives to join his friends for some fun at the tracks and to bring some magic while he is at it. Here is:
Vivi Ornitier:
Speed 6, Weight 3
kart0010.gif

Vivi is a small lad and a kindhearted boy, but don't think he'll let you push him around. Sounds are taken from Final Fantasy 9.

General updates:
I've given Steiner and Helbindi extra drift sprites so it doesn't look so awkward with Helbendi's shoulder pad or Steiner's sword is flipping to positions they don't need to.
I've also brought back the singular pk3 containing all my Yo-kai Watch characters with them using all the updated sprites and sounds from the individual pack. The Yo-kai Watch characters will still be in the individual character pack. I just brought back the Yo-kai Watch character only pk3 since I noticed a server or two were using my old one that still had my outdated versions of the characters.

All sprites were made by criophoenix over on fiverr and were commissioned by me. Goalposts art was made using official art and stills and edited by me which will show why some or most of the goalposts might look like ehhhh.

Hope you enjoy the new racers and please let me know if any problems pop-up with the characters so I can fix them.

Introducing one of Muspell's savage generals from the mobile game Fire Emblem Heroes:

Helbindi:
Speed 2, Weight 8
kart0006.gif

Being the big brute he is, Helbindi sports low speed and heavy weight to match his general statline in Fire Emblem Heroes. Though don't count him out just because he is slow!

Updates:

I've made a number of small changes to all my sprites like renaming every character's individual sprite from 'PLAY****' to the appropriate four letters pertaining to each character.

I've also renamed the Deku Princess's four letter sprite name as I found out it conflicts with the My Hero Macadamia Nut character. Go figure.

Surfing Pikachu's preferred color has been changed from purple to yellow and uses the version that was fixed up by Bladesinger and co over at the Karts R Us Discord server. So thanks again to them for the help.

My version of Kabbu from Bug Fables is included in this because I forgot to reinclude him since the original update I put him in. Whoops!


With updates out of the way, I'd like to address that I do plan to give Steiner and Helbindi more drifting sprites as they are more noticeably asymmetrical compared to the other characters, but it's unclear when that will be.

All sprites were commissioned from Criophoenix over on Fiverr with the goalpost sprites done by me using official artwork, hence the more crude spritework in comparison to the commission.

Hope you can continue to enjoy my pack and feel free to let me know here if there are any problems so I can fix them. Happy karting everyone!​
  • Cool!

I found out in the KRU Discord server that there's times when Surfing Pikachu freaks out for some reason. Found out I didn't change the line from popple to surfing_pikachu when I took the LUA I made for Simple Animal from Popple to edit for Surfing Pikachu. Hope it fixes the issue.

Made a change in the S_SKIN, Sounds, and the sprite names for RANK, WANT, and MMAP to no longer conflict with the character Mothman(and hopefully no one else). Thanks to those on the CGB Discord server for letting me know.
Hailing from the planet Gaia, we have two participants looking to represent the best of their respective countries of Burmecia and Alexandria. We have:

Freya:
Speed 7, Weight 2
kart0002.gif

As a dragoon knight, Freya here is light on her feet to help her jump high in the sky. It only makes she is pretty light and quick in a kart. Sound effects and music are taken from FF9.

Steiner:
Speed 3, Weight 8
kart0004.gif

Ever the stern and loyal knight captain of knights of Pluto, he carries a lot of responsibility(and armor) and his stiff attitude often means he is a little slow to pick up on things. As such the current stat spread seems only fitting. Sound effects and music are taken from FF9.

I was originally thinking of using Japanese voice clips from Final Fantasy Opera Omnia for Freya and Steiner, but unfortunately it seems no one has ever ripped them and I don't feel like trying myself. Maybe someday though.

Next up...

Hailing from the land of Hyrule long before the Hylian Royal Family existed, we have have Rauru's older tech-savvy sister:

Mineru:
Speed 4, Weight 6
kart0003.gif

Compared to the version you have by your side in TotK, you'll find this version a lot less slow and heavy with relatively balanced stats. Sound Effects are taken from TotK and Fire Emblem Heroes as Mineru shares the same voice actress as the most recent voice for Elincia.

And the final racer...

Hailing from a world(Youtube channel) where Sonic Underground never ended, this particular version of Sonic is quite (in)famous for his variety of escapades and relationship with his bf Bartleby Montclair of Dresdin:

Tamers12345 Sonic:
Speed 3, Weight 6
kart0005.gif

Because this version Sonic refuses to layoff the chili dogs, he ends up being fatter(slower) in comparison to other Sonics. His BF Bartleby Montclair of Dresdin isn't afraid to defy the laws of physics to help take Sonic to the finish line while listening to some tunes from his airpods. Sounds are taken from various Tamers12345 videos. Goalpost art was made by Tamers12345 and I made edits to it help fit in the goalpost.

Updates!

I recolored Surfing Pikachu's sprites so it will make it easier to tell who is who and in turn made the surfboard and Pikachu's cheeks permanently red. I do still plan on adding second color support for Surfing Pikachu so you may change the color and cheeks to what you want so bare with me. Procrastination and laziness is a bitch.
kart0000.gif

Other than that. There's not much else that I can think I've changed. Goalposts use official art I've edited so they're likely not up to snuff in comparison to people who know what they're doing. Sprites were done by criophoenix over on Fiverr as I commissioned them. As I said plenty before, if you run into any problems with my stuff please let me know here.

Hope you enjoy the characters and happy karting!​

Let's not waste time with greetings and introduce the four new racers!

First up, hailing from the Kanto region, this Pikachu picked up the nack for riding waves the second it hit the board! Introducing the aptly named:

Surfing Pikachu:
Speed 8, Weight 3

kart0000.gif
kart0001.gif

Pikachu here uses the most recent version of Togen's Simple AnimaL Lua to make the extra animation possible. Thanks very much to Togen for making it for for letting me know they updated it! Sounds are taken mostly from Pokemon Channel if not all.

Looking to not be left out of the ever increasing roster of Pokemon in Kart, this Legendary Pokemon emerges from the sea depths to show it is just as capable on land than just air and sea:

Lugia:
Speed 8, Weight 7
kart0003.gif
kart0007.gif

I figured it came as a little odd Lugia here wasn't added before so I made sure to solve the problem! Sounds are taken from various Pokemon games, but I'm sure you will notice a good chunk are the announcer from Pokemon Stadium 2 as I felt there wasn't enough good sources to pull from and I didn't just want whale noises and it's game cry.

For reasons unknown, a short angry man with a thirst for vengeance has joined the races. Perhaps someone crossed him or he is looking for another reason to be angry:

Dan:
Speed 5, Weight 3
kart0002.gif
kart0008.gif

I'm sure most recognize him as the "I don't care who the IRS sends. I'm not paying taxes." guy. Comes from the show Dan Vs and all of his lines are taken from it.

Even though she is last up, this diva loves making fashionably late entrances and she certainly isn't gonna let Team Snakemouth steal the limelight:

Mothiva:
Speed 2, Weight 6
kart0004.gif
kart0010.gif

I figured since Team Snakemouth have been added to Kart (twice). It's appropriate to add some fresh blood. Her sounds are shared with Vi and Kabbu as, ya know, appropriate sound effects that fit are hard to come by.

Now for the updates to old characters. I've updated many goalposts and sound effects of the Yo-kai Watch characters so that they have more fitting sound effects and that the goalposts change color with the racers now. Vi and Leif's sprites have been updated and now change color properly. I've updated most of everyone's gloat sound effect with an echo as I neglected to do that before. Popple has been updated with the most recent version of Togen's Simple AnimaL Lua. Yo-kai Watch characters are now separate pk3s in the zip file along with the others so you can pick and choose who you prefer if you so please.

As before, sprites were created by criophoenix over on Fiverr and commissioned by me. I did the goalposts myself using official art so they're likely not as up to snuff compared to everything else, but I gave them a shot.

Hope you guys enjoy the new racers and continue to enjoy Kart. If there is any issues with the characters, please feel free to tell me and I will try to fix them.​

This update here brings five new characters to my pack.

Introducing....

The trio that make Bugaria's famous Team Snakemouth:

Kabbu:
Speed 7, Weight 7
kart0000.gif


Leif:
Speed 5, Weight 3
kart0001.gif


Vi:
Speed 8, Weight 1
kart0002.gif

Now to address the obvious. I know there is already a character pack that have Kabbu, Leif, and Vi, but I didn't really notice until Kabbu's sprite sheet was done. As it is only fair, I will leave a link to Plom's character pack so you can better figure out which versions you'd rather use if interested. Leif and Vi are unable to change colors at this time as messing with the colors make them look off. I'll look to fixing that.Sound effects are taken from Bug Fables to the best of my ability and Mario rpgs. Figuring out decent sound effects was pretty hard so if some don't some good or you have better suggestions let me know.


Back to the program

Hailing all the way from Planet Stranga and introduced in Blaster Master Zero 2, it is everyone's favorite pothead:

Kanna:
Speed 8, Weight 7
kart0003.gif

kart0006.gif

The four wheel bike she rides on is based on the tank she pilots in Blaster Master. Her voice lines are taken mostly from Charlotta from Granblue Fantasy Versus and the Kanna DLC trailer for BMZ2 as their voice actress is Cristina Vee and sound close enough to each other.

Last is the famous Shadow Thief hailing from the Beanbean Kingdom:

Popple:
Speed 9, Weight 3
kart0004.gif

kart0005.gif

Any good thief worth their beans is quick to flee the crime scene. Who needs a kart when you got a good pair of legs? Popple here uses Togen's Simple AnimaL Lua script to help accomplish Popple standing still when not accelerating and to remove the engine noise a kart normally would make. Sound effects are taken from the Mario and Luigi games.

Sprites were made by criophoenix over on Fiverr as I commissioned them. Hope you enjoy the racers and happy karting!​

The Deku Princess hailing from the Deku Kingdom located in the Southern Swamp of Termina is here to represent her people! She's here to show she can ride around in more than a bottle! Her speed is 6 and weight 3.

She will be in the Individual Character ZIP file as I want to keep non-Yo-kai Watch characters separate from the Yo-kai Watch .pk3 file. Just keep that in mind. I intend to keep adding more non-YW characters to the ZIP file and add any more YW characters to the appropriate bundle PK3. Though if anyone is interested in individual YW character PK3s, just let me know and I can add them to the ZIP if need be.

Spritework is done by criophoenix over on Fiverr. I made the goal post with official art from Majora's Mask. Sounds all come from the Zelda games if not specifically Majora's Mask.

Nothing major here. Just finally getting around to cleaning up any sprites that would happen to have any stray pixels I missed along with cleaning up the goal post sprites.

Edit: I realized I jumped from v1.1 to v1.3. There is no missing v1.2 just in case it crosses any minds. I'm just dumb.
I didn't realize until now that one of Whisper's attack sounds was still one of the Sonic sounds. The problem has be fixed and Whisper now has all the audio bases covered. Apologies for the oversight.
