Look at Mario Kart tracks themselves. The tracks actually based on in-game locations are a vast minority compared to the ones that only exist to be Mario Kart tracks. Also, look at the character line up, that refuses to acknowledge Mario's spin offs or even Wario's games. I don't think Mario Kart's developers are really interested in some "all star" line up of racers and tracks.

I'm not one of those wackos that wants Captain Syrup playable in smash, but she would fit really well in MK now that I think about it.

Captain Syrup would make way more sense than Pink Gold Peach. But then again, even R.O.B. would make more sense than Pink Gold Peach...

Please explain how you would implement 'different mindsets/abilities/reactions/plans/strategies' of the characters into the game so it actually makes a difference in gameplay...

Mario refuses to use turtle shells

Yoshi can eat projectiles launched at him

Peach can charm/stun people as a special move

Samus can go bouncey-ball suit mode and jump around.

I mean wasn't your original post about how its dumb to make characters play differently in a racing game? Why are you asking me how it would be done?

Man what a nightmare Nintendo would have trying to balance all that stuff.

That's why fans are not in charge of stuff like this, I mean...

Sounds all kinds of awful. Mario kart exist exactly the most balanced of kart racers as it is, adding in crap that would significantly worsen the balance of the game seems like the worst direction they could go.

It's a racing game not a fighting game.

Well they did try something similar with Double Dash.

You could get some pretty nice combos. And I felt you could be OP but only depending on the track you were playing on.

I know Pink Gold is popular with girls who are into fashion. So it's on trend, at least.
