Which characters do you think will be added in Mario Kart 9

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

After watching the Nintendo Switch 2 trailer and seeing Mario Kart 9 being shown, I thought about making this forum to maybe guess which characters Nintendo will add to the game, whether new characters or ones that haven't been in a Mario Kart game in awhile, (not including that Mario Kart Tour game, since I've never played it).

I want to guess that maybe Monty Mole maybe a new playable character and maybe Koopa Paratroopa & Petey Piranha will be added as a couple of older playable characters.

Which characters do you think will be added to Mario Kart 9 when it comes out?

You know that's a good question! Who do you think they should add? We're missing some that could be added from DK, a few of the the earlier games and Odysee too. Harriet might be a good racer she's not hideous and she has a personality but I doubt they'll add her!

E Gadd, Diddy Kong, Cranky Kong, Dixie Kong, King K Rool, King Bob-Omb...That's pretty much it.

i saw some people saying that in the trailer there's 24 spots for characters in the starting line so that's at least 24 unique characters.
i think most of them will just be the old ones
Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi
Peach, Daisy, Rosalina
Yoshi, Toad, Shy Guy, Koppa, DK
the 7 koopalings and bowser
the baby versions of characters

I thought they added Dixie a while back? Nevermind! Apparently she's not in deluxe?!

Get Chunky, (but this Kong's one hell of a guy!), Lankey, Tiny, Candi, Cranky, King K. Rool and maybe some other Kremling characters.

I see that Dixie was in Mario Kart Tour since some update in 2020: https://mariokart.fandom.com/wiki/Dixie_Kong

Mario Kart Tour (2019, since Update in 2020)

I think they added Dixie a while back didn't they?

No. Sadly, she's stuck in Mario Kart Tour. We got Funky Kong instead because he was in Mario Kart Wii.

.. They definitely need to King K. Rool at least! I feel like Candi and Tiny would have a wide appeal as well as Kalypso too.

Heck, Nintendo is handling Donkey Kong Country's 30th anniversary pretty decent so far by adding the DKL trilogy to NSO, all the DKC trilogy soundtrack on Nintendo Music app, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD release, and Donkey Kong theme park opening in Super Nintendo World, why not add King K Rool, Candy, Dixie, Kiddy, Tiny, Lanky and Chunky in the roster?

I'm not familiar with Donkey Kong's Kalypso, but I am familiar with Twisted Metal's Calypso:

Ok, now i'm back on topic!

What about Nabbit that rabbit thing?

Or maybe Shadow Mario from Super Mario Sunshine?

Considering that the new version of Paper mario: the thousand-year door came out not to long ago, it would be cool seeing some characters in Mario Kart 9

And if the game has DLC I would like to see some crazy collaborations like Sonic

 

[middler]

I want to see R.O.B. and the Power Glove get a turn in a Kart!

 

[Lena CE]

I'm just hopin my boy Dry Bones comes back. R.O.B. also deserves his triumphant return!!

 

[RageBurner]

No idea about characters, but I hope they'll bring back all tracks from MK8D and add even more. Gsmeplay os king, content is queen.

 

[Tonberry]

My main squeezes are Koopa Troopa and Toadette, so I'm probably safe. I hope they let Kamek stick around because it's the one I play if I'm not playing a small character.
Also Toadsworth would probably be a fun pick.

Trump. Christ, that would be hilarious.

Trump. Christ, that would be hilarious.

Well it would be funny to see N on the losing side of a lawsuit for a change.

BRING HIM BACK!

DK Junior? I always wondered why DK proper wasn't there at first.

The little glimpse we saw is like a mix of OG Donkey Kong and movie Donkey Kong which is interesting.

I bet he would love it actually. And call it morbid curiosity but i bet Trump in the Mario aesthetic would be hilarious.

DK Junior grew up to become the nice respectable Kong we all know and love today.

"So I've heard about this Super Mario, I've known him for a very long time actually. I've met him. he's past his prime I tell you. He doesn't have a clue. He's a good man but he doesn't know what he's doing anymore.
I've been on Mario Circuit, all of them...it's always the same...Mario Circuit 1 Mario Circuit 2 Mario Circuit 3 they all blend in.
He keeps making circuits he doesn't know what he's making, it's sad really.
I have good tracks, I make the best tracks.
So I come to Mario I tell him "Super Mario, you gotta know the limits, we're gonna make a very good deal you and I, we're gonna make the best deal"
And he knows where the wind is blowing from because he's a very smart plumber."
