Job 30:
Wiggler & T'wiggler
Go-Karting as a caterpillar is the single best idea Nintendo has ever come up with in their entire existence. Shame they only used it once. Time to fix that (In more ways than one)!
Wiggler
Slightly changed from MK7. It looks the same as in MK7 when driving (four segments), but when performing tricks, it reveals a hidden fifth segment to better match its appearance in its official art.
Still gets angry when hit!
T’wiggler
Tropical Wiggler from Super Mario Odyssey makes its spinoff debut in Mario Kart 9! This little dude is calmer than its older cousin and can extend and contract its body for various tricks, putting on a colorful show for everyone!
Made some concept art a while ago for these two to prove to everyone that I'm not insane for wanting this:

Still craving copious quantities of caterpillar content in your conspicuously chaotic kart competition? Then you'll probably enjoy their new Special Item!
Special Item:
Squiggler
(The only babies that should be in Mario Kart are the ones you can use as weapons.)
When activated, two karts matching your kart appear and trail behind you, turning your kart into a sort of “train” and increasing your total weight. Your vehicle essentially becomes a Wiggler!
The two segments serve as protection; segments disappear after being hit. Just keep in mind that you’re still vulnerable from the front.
Significantly less polished concept art that I rushed to create but still does the job:
