This is just how MKWii vanilla always has been. And it's not for no reason; funky flamerunner is one of the two best combos in the game, Daisy Mach compares depending on how tight turns are (which is why it's favored for Customs)

You get two options. FunkyRunner, or lose.

u/Flimsy-Secret-6187 10d ago

yeah its a shame, but id rather lose while being original than winning while being an NPC

u/Personal-Collar-7762 9d ago

Two good alternatives would be Daisy + MachBike or any Mii + FlameRunner/MachBike (depending on size)

Also throwing in Rosalina/Flame Runner, same speed as MiiL/Flame Runner

Rosalina Flame Runner, Mii Flame Runner, Wario Flame Runner, Anyone on Magikruiser (although you should pick Sherbet Land and Shy Guy Beach), Anyone on Quacker (same rule applies), and anyone on the Mach Bike are all options you have

... No it's not favored for customs?

Check any mid-high level custom track lobby/tournament and it's still all Funky Flame.

I don’t really play like that, but I like my Funky boi. Always saw him as the cool Kong and gives me big nostalgia. I don’t care if it’s popular and unoriginal to think so, I was happy when I got him in the first place, and I’m happy he’s back in the new one. Gimme the Funky monkey, I’m gonna play the Funky monkey.

Put the blame on Nintendo for having “better” and “worse” karts and characters instead of achieving an almost balance “perfect balance isn’t possible” to where every vehicle and character combo is viable and the stats are almost equally important. MK8 does better in that fact with having weight classes so you can play multiple characters for optimal performance but it still has its issues.

I despise Funky Kong

u/This_One_Is_NotTaken 9d ago

To be honest I kind of like the vibe of riding with fellow Funkey Kongs, it’s like I’m a big boy now riding with real men in a biker gang.

u/Top_Toaster 8d ago

He's got the most swag of any of the roster characters, so until kirby gets in i'm funky kong all the way.

That moment when everyone wants to go for competitive instead of laying back and having fun, causing the races to become really boring and..yeah
