Here's a game I made up:
Let's say there's gonna be a Mario Kart 9 on the Switch, Sakurai askes you to add 6 new drivers and cut 6 veteran drivers. Who do you pick or cut? (About the new drivers, it has to be a new character introduced to MK for the first time. Spinoff characters do count.)

Spoiler: New Drivers:

1. Poochy
2. Shake King
3. Hammer Bro
4. Jaxi
5. Monty Mole
6. King K. Rool
Bonus: Kirby and Dedede as DLC.

Spoiler: Cut Drivers:

1. Metal Mario
2. Pink Gold Peach
3. Cat Peach
4. Tanooki Mario
5. Baby Rosalina
6. Baby Daisy

 

[Lamperouge]

This answer your question?

I'm prepared to use this for my reaction when fighter #5 isn't who I wanted.

 

[Wademan94]

To be honest, I like Metal Mario. He's actually treated as a different character from Mario, being cockier (and has some different sayings, like "Papa!" instead of "Mama!") and acting kinda like a rival; a weird, metal clone that seems like at least an anti-hero or something; maybe he just likes fighting the real Mario and showing off.

I don't really mind the babies and such, either, and I even like them, but Baby Rosalina doesn't stick to Galaxy's canon and doesn't really come from anything (I guess Baby Daisy doesn't either; I still like Baby Rosalina, but yeah, doesn't really make sense); we don't even have Baby Wario or Baby Donkey Kong from Yoshi's Island DS (nor Baby Bowser but he'd be very similar to Bowser Jr. so eh); Pink Gold Peach, while kinda cool, isn't like Metal Mario and is really just Peach; and they don't bother with any of the other unique characters and enemies in their gigantic list of characters, rather just the main cast in different costumes over and over again. They haven't even brought back Birdo and Petey Piranha, but at least we have King Boo and his Luigi's Mansion self.

Though I plan on making the Metal Cap an item to compensate for cutting him out of my version of MK9, I can respect MM on that front, as well as his stats as a heavyweight justifying him as another racer rather than a costume of Mario.

Same.

4. Jaxi

He’d make more sense as a kart, and I’d argue Poochy would as well.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I provide you with Crash Team Racing for counterexamples to your point. Specifically the characters Polar, Pura, and Baby T.

I would prefer Poochy as a driver.

 

[Saetanigera]

I've been thinking...

Yuri Lowell or Lloyd Irving? Who's the better Tales rep, and why?

Lloyd brings a lot of enthusiasm to the fight. That's the main reason I'd like to see him or Rex. (Though I'd honestly prefer Rex to go Pokemon Trainer and cheer Pyra from the background.)

I would cut all 5 babies (they're the worst) and Toadette.
(Although, I would make Tanooki Mario/Cat Peach/Gold Mario/etc... into alt skins for those characters)

And I would add Pauline, King K Rool, E. Gadd, Sonic, Kirby, and Samus.

Maybe have Sonic, Kirby and Samus as DLC racers.

I legitimately think it's time for Mario Kart to become Smash Kart, so base game or DLC, whichever.

 

[Wademan94]

I think their proportions lend themselves to looking better in karts than Jaxi or even Poochy, at least how I see it.

I think it should be a separate entity, though I personally don’t see it as necessary or even feasible.

(Also why cut Toadette? She’s a separate character at least and has been pushed a lot lately)

 

[Mamboo07]

"Something just entered the upper atmosphere..."

Ah yes, my favorite Marvel character... King Dedede!

Also I just realized, why would Sakurai be in charge of a new Mario Kart game?

How many times do I have to teach you this lesson old man?!!!

This isn't Gran Turismo. This isn't even Jak X. There's no physical limit to a character riding a kart in the Mario universe.

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

It'd be cool if they added Dr. Mario and maybe a Virus as a racer in the next Mario Kart game instead of Baby Dr. Green Bronze Paper Noodle Waluigi.

 

[AndreaAC]

xD So, today, December 11th, I turned 25...and I began looking for gray hairs on my head ( xD Not really, but I am scared to spot one..)

:3 It was something small alongside my family. Had some Oreo Ice cream cake, flan and the like. xD The statue of my favorite Assassin's Creed protagonist, Shay Cormac, was actually given to me way early, so, I had been taking a lot of pictures for fun...though, in between all the good time, my smartphone had to be reset to factory settings because it was having a lot of trouble ( o-o Curse you, Google Play...or Android's updates) and I probably lost a lot of files or I cannot access them anymore, but hopefully I will find a way.

I’ll believe you when I see a Thwomp or Piranha Plant riding a bike in action.

Besides, I also think there’s numerous other characters I think would be more fitting as racers than those two like Cappy, Nabbit, E. Gadd, King Bob-omb, Hammer Bro, Boom Boom, Pom Pom, Kamek, etc.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Well, it happened.

Y'all will probably hear this in the coming weeks, and looking at the situation it's kinda obvious, but Marvel Television will cease to exist and be liquidated into Marvel Studios by the end of the year.

Jeph Loeb is also being moved from Marvel to other projects entirely. Kevin Feige will now decide what shows go forward. He's apparently eyeing shows that can exist in the canon of the MCU without being directly effective to it. Agent Carter is being eyed for another season for this reason and Daredevil and the rest of the Defenders will likely return. Dunno how or when but Charlie Cox is likely to return.

Inhumans movie is being reconsidered for a part of Marvel's upcoming slate. Possibly Phase 5 for an Inhumans vs. X-Men movie that same Phase. Avengers vs. X-Men is definitely happening. That's all I got.

Rest in peace to Marvel Television.

How is King Boo able to ride a bike without legs?

You accept that but not a creature with both arms and legs riding?

Or do you not accept this and want to retroactively remove King Boo because of it? Good luck convincing people of that

 

[osby]

I had a dream where a SEGA character was the FP5, which is weird because I don't usually have Smash-related dreams.

Anyway, hope you guys are ready for Segata Sanshiro punching Mario to Saturn.

Dude’s a ghost, I dunno, it just seems like he lends himself better to being a racer. Don’t make a conspiracy out of this. If they make Poochy work as a racer then I’d be all for it but for now I feel like he’d be better suited as a kart as well as Jaxi.

Wouldn't be my first pick for FP5, but I'm interested in to see how Sakurai will handle the moveset and what does that mean for DLC moving forward.

You had a Dream that Segata Sanshiro punched Mario all the way to Saturn?

I'm jealous. Lotsa hidden gems I think Mario would like.

You're classification for a suitable racer is inconsistent and unfair. Must I bring out examples outside of Mario Kart to get you to learn?

No, I just saw a SEGA logo and then deducted Segata Sanshiro with FACTS AND LOGIC.

You can trust me, I'm a physics department drop-out.

You’re gonna keep bullying me about this until I put him in my roster, aren’t you?

The politics of fan Mario Kart rosters that aren’t even official are serious business.

I mean you don’t know how much I want mine to be official.

Still, it’s more civil than politics of Smash fan rosters...

Wade, you made a claim that Poochy wouldn't make a good racer by his design and I refute it with references. That's not bullying, that's discourse.

Look if they can make him work, I’d be all for his inclusion, but at the moment I’m just having a hard time seeing this absolute unit:

sitting up and taking the wheel of a bike or kart in a feasible way, at least not without some finagling with his proportions. Not to mention the 4 dozen other new characters I’d like to see more as racers.

1. They have finagled with proportions before

In the Mario Kart series, Toad's model has longer arms to allow him to properly use a steering wheel. The difference can be seen even within a single game: a Toad from the audience in Mario Kart 8 (left) has regular arms, while the playable Toad's (right) arms are visibly longer. pic.twitter.com/vRQV5hjVmp

2. If giant head and tiny arms are a hang-up, once again King Boo refutes it. Also Crafted World shows the Poochy Pups standing upright anyways.

3. You're character priority is irrelevant. If I made a similar list I'd probably wouldn't even consider half of them you listed. This isn't about "who you would like in MK" it's about "why does or doesn't Poochy fit".

 

[Noipoi]

Just have the dog stand up on the seat so his tiny front legs can reach the wheel

edit: this isn’t real why do we care so much
