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 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.
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.

Don't you mean the New Wii U?

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.

hey I'm just saying It would be nice to race as boo/ splatoon squidgirl/ midna.
King Boo and Sonic should be added as playable characters! someone call Nintendo!
Sonic isn't part of the Mario universe, and it's not even a Nintendo character.
Neither is Zelda, or the Animal Crossing characters. The game seems to be turning into Nintendo Kart.
Both Zelda and the creatures in Animal Crossing are Nintendo characters. And Zelda is not available as a character in Mario Kart 8. FWIW, all extra stuff like Link, the Kirby/Captain Falcon Mii costumes, the Excitebike Arena, etc are extra fan service that you need to pay extra to get. These components are not a part of the main MK8 game.

The addition of the Koopalings was one of the best roster choices for the game. If anything, Metal Mario, Pink Gold Peach, Baby Rosalina, and Baby Daisy shouldn't have made it in.
Instead, they should have put Bowser Jr. , Birdo, Nabbit, and Diddy Kong.
I really hope the next Mario Kart has alternative colors/costumes (like in Smash Bros.), the ability to create your own kart emblems (like in MKDS), and the ability to change the karts/tires/gliders to any color of your choice. Some might think that's too deep for Mario Kart, but hey! The more options, the better!
Smash Mains:
N64: Captain Falcon
Melee: Mario
Brawl: Sonic
Project M: Link
Smash 3DS: Captain Falcon
Smash Wii U: Ganondorf

I would love this! Adding a new level of customization to mario kart would be awesome! Maybe add a double dash mode and I would be sold.
So I returned back to this from Hyrule Warriors and the DLC servers are pretty much dead. The on disc track servers seems to be as active as they were even at launch. From this it looks like most of the DLC owners moved to Smash but plenty of the non-DLC owners stayed.
EDIT: Found a full group, maybe it's my connection?
