Sonic isn't part of the Mario universe, and it's not even a Nintendo character.

super smash bros has sonic in it, as well as mario. I don't see why sonic shouldn't be added to mario kart as a racer. boo not being in mario cart shocks me though.

I know about this game, but Mario Kart 8 is simply a better game. I rather let sonic race in Mario Kart 8.

Tingle should be playable in Mario Kart 8!

I agree with this for the most part. The only one that should not come back is Funky Kong. He was a weird choice, but not as weird as some of the babies and metal colorings.

I agree. once they add certain characters, they should stick with them to the best of their ability. they should have never ever removed them.

Okay... Looking back on it... Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Pink Gold Peach, and the onslaught of Koopalings shouldn't even be taking up valuable characters slots. Metal Mario is also incredibly dumb but I'll let it pass.

I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!

I fully agree with this. I'm not a fan of those characters. This is why they need to use more characters like Link and not just rely on Mario characters even though its called Mario Kart. Nintendo Kart!

I like the Koopalings, they're some of the characters I actually wanted to be playable in a future Mario Kart and other spinoff games, but I still can't get over Pink Gold Peach. At least Metal Mario has some sort of history in the main games. I think Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach should have just been a costume, instead of a whole new character.

this...

The metal versions and baby versions are obvious. Peach and Mario are perhaps the two most popular characters for their respective genders, and being able to play them with different stats is nice. I know people who would like to play Peach, but felt she wasn't good enough, but now with PGP they have a character they enjoy who is good in their eyes.

I also find it weird to talk about character slots as something finite from the get go. Sure, it is improbable to have 100+ characters in a game like Mario Kart, but that doesn't mean one characters inclusion hindered another character.

Maybe Pink Gold Peach is playable in the first 3D Mario game for Wii UU

I can relate to what you mean.

I believe all the characters should have some alternate slots that open up underneath them when you select them. selecting mario could drop down a few tabs giving the option of mario, animal mario, metal mario, doctor mario, and so on. the initial character list should be larger than it is now, but when going to select a character players would find many more options within that.

that would make many different nintendo games much much improved.

Nothing would be improved. First, Mario Kart isn't Smash. Mario Kart is supposed to be fast to play in a party-style manner, while still be ok for those who want to be more competitive. And a costume change in Smash does nothing for the stats, which is an easy-to-understand concept. In Mario Kart 8, costume changes often means different stats, which would be confusing to have connected to a single character. But OTOH, 99% about the complaints about the Mario Kart roster seem to be about the non-familiarity with the characters rather a complaint (or even understanding) of the stats/balance.

Neither is Zelda, or the Animal Crossing characters. The game seems to be turning into Nintendo Kart.
