Astrology interprets the influences that the positions and alignments of stars and planets have on people. A person’s horoscope is not defining, but it may provide you hints for solving issues that arise in your life.
The first Mario Kart game, Super Mario Kart, released in 1992 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Nintendo has since expanded the series’ roster, adding a diverse set of characters. Evidently, your horoscope can tell which Mario Kart character you are. What is your racing style? Which Mario Kart character are you based on your zodiac type?
12 Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Shy Guy
There isn’t a Mario Kart character better suited for Aquarius than Shy Guy. Aquarius individuals are known for being shy and quiet, but this doesn’t prevent them from being full of energy. If you were born between January 20th and February 18th, your Mario Kart character is Shy Guy!
Shy Guy is usually an enemy in the Super Mario games, but he also works alongside characters like Mario and Donkey Kong in the Mario Party series. Fittingly, Shy Guy distances himself from emotional expression.
11 Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Inkling Boy
If you share a zodiac sign with Inkling Boy, your ruling planet is Neptune. You like sleeping, music, and spiritual themes. Your desire to escape reality, however, can get in the way of your goals.
Pisces are recognized as being more artistic than others, which is why Inkling Boy is considered a Pisces. Pisces is a multi-colored horoscope that is associated with colors such as mauve, lilac, purple, violet, and sea green. This is fitting given Inkling Boy’s several colors.
10 Aries (March 21 - April 19 ): Mario
“It’s a-me, Mario!” If you were born between March 21st and April 19th, your Mario Kart racer is the titular character. As someone who often appears in leadership roles, Mario is most fitting for the first and foremost zodiac sign. Your desire for competition extends to every facet of your life. With red as their color, it’s no wonder why Mario is considered as energetic as an Aries.
9 Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Peach
The colors of a Taurus are pink and green, much like Princess Peach’s dress and gems, respectively. As someone who wants to be surrounded by beauty and love, you are someone who takes pleasure in material items.
Since Princess Peach is the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, her views of the world are influenced by her enormous amount of wealth. Peach is often the voice of reason in the Super Mario games. As a racer, she is a conservative driver.
8 Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Wario
With yellow as one of your colors, Gemini are fascinated with the world and try to explore as much of it as possible. This is consistent with Wario’s love for exploration when he is riding the Wario Bike.
We don’t know for sure if Wario is a protagonist or an antagonist because of his varying roles. Gemini individuals are phenomenal at driving and team sports in general. If you were born between May 21st and June 20th, you are as explorative as a Gemini!
7 Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Baby Mario & Baby Luigi
Baby Mario and Baby Luigi are recurring characters in the Yoshi’s Island game series. If you were born between June 21st and July 22nd, your Mario Kart racer is either Baby Mario or Baby Luigi.
As a baby, you can be moody and emotional. Your imagination runs wild, and you love a good meal with friends. Fittingly, your color is white, like the symbols on Baby Mario and Baby Luigi’s heads.
6 Leo (July 23 - August 22): Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong can be a warm-hearted and generous Nintendo character, but he’s also a lazy ape. As someone who can be humorous and stubborn, Donkey Kong is a good fit for the Leo horoscope.
If you were born between July 23rd and August 22nd, you might be as lethargic as a Leo. Faced with the most complicated problems, you possess the willpower to persevere. Donkey Kong and Leos prefer to work alone, but aren’t above asking for help from friends.
5 Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Toad
Often considered the most agile on the racetrack, Toad is a character who has appeared in numerous Mario Kart games. His first appearance in a Mario Kart game was in Super Mario Kart, which happens to be the first in the series.
Toad is Princess Peach’s most loyal attendant. He’s often the one explaining how to play the game, so he can be considered analytical. If you were born between August 23rd and September 22nd, you share a horoscope sign with Toad!
4 Libra (September 23 - October 22): Luigi
Mario’s taller, leaner brother is an integral part of the Super Mario Bros. series. In Mario Kart, Luigi has average speed and handling, making him a well-rounded racer. Perhaps his zodiac sign, Libra, says something about him since both are related to balance and symmetry.
Libra’s colors are pink and green. They are easily recognizable for their cooperative and diplomatic mindset. If you were born between September 23rd and October 22nd, you would be Luigi. “I’m a-Luigi, number one!”
3 Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Bowser
Although Mario Kart games like Mario Kart 8 do no have a plot, we can deduce that Bowser (also known as King Koopa) is the villain of the series. The theme of his level, Bowser’s Castle, tells us that Bowser is dark and disturbed. Scorpio’s are distrusting and can have violent tendencies.
Sharing a horoscope sign with Bowser doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Scorpios are resourceful, brave, passionate, and maintain friendships. Your colors are scarlet, red, and rust.
2 Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): Yoshi
First appearing in the video game Super Mario World, Yoshi has become a recurring character in the Mario Kart series. He lends a helping hand to Mario whenever he can, which is why Yoshi is as generous as a Sagittarius.
Sagittarius individuals are idealistic. Although the color of a Sagittarius is not green, Yoshi are known to appear in various colors. Your enthusiasm is seemingly limitless.
1 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Koopa Troopa
Koopa Troopas expect the worst because they are usually the ones being defeated by Mario. In Mario Kart, they aren’t the most skilled racers but do have exceptional handling. Koopa Troopas and Capricorns have a difficult time accepting people’s differences, which could explain why they tend to stay with their own kind. Despite their shortcomings, Capricorns can be exceptional leaders.
