I actually think and call me crazy but we could actually expect around 72 characters. If we have 24 characters at once in a race then only double that seems actually on the low side.
I personally love this roster, only change I’d make personally, is goomba over spike, but who knows, we’ll definitely get post launch updates and hopefully have both
Thinking that the roster will have _at least_ 48 characters. I think everyone in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Kart Tour could make a return, including the Miis (and while I'm not sure about the crossover characters, I'd love to see them return too. Heck, give me more: let us play as the Squid Sisters, bring back R.O.B. from Mario Kart DS). As for newcomer characters, I think Spike is long overdue, and Cranky Kong would also be neat. Perhaps add in Ninji as well. Maybe some more DKC characters like Candy Kong and King K. Rool, perhaps Prince Florian from Super Mario Bros. Wonder, perhaps finally some WarioWare characters like Mona or Jimmy T- I'll stop here before this becomes a wish list. Speaking of which though, maybe it's time that Donkey Kong Jr. finally returns after 33 years... and not as a sprite this time, but as a 3D-modeled equal.
I think there's the chance we COULD still get guest characters, but they won't bring back the ones that were in 8 Deluxe and instead choose different Nintendo franchises to be represented.
@@mariobroultimate1808 I disagree. I in fact expect to see those three series considering they’re the 3 best selling 1st party series after Mario tho I also expect to see Metroid, Pikmin, Starfox, and F-Zero too
@ I don't think popularity should matter. If anything, including the less popular franchises instead of the popular ones would make Mario Kart fans interested in checking their series out.
Good video. Mario doesnt have that many great characters outside the usual main roster so as long as its not super obscure like the bee queen im good. A mario 64 rep like king bobomb would be cool though
Goomba ain’t gonna happen. And he never will be. But I think Professor E. Gadd would be a much better choice than Goomba because Mario Kart characters are supposed to have both hands to turn the steering wheel 🛞.
Don't get me wrong. I wish Cappy had become a mainstay character, but with Wonder being more recent, representation from that is more likely. Florian and Poplin to be precise. Either of them would be more interesting than Spike in my opinion. I'm not exactly a fan of generic enemy characters filling up the roster.
I'm praying we get King Bob-omb
@@josephbanet5410 same
*Y E S*
Professor E Gadd

Yeah who knows, after Smash's huge roster anything is possible. ;)
Instead of Diddy Kong we will get Baby Pauline
…suggesting the roster won't have both? (I mean, I prefer just getting Diddy Kong, but it's still possible that they'll both join)
I think prince florian will be playable tbh
Great video! I loved the icons!!

Cappy and Poochy I would love both of them

I hope they’ll add Warioware characters because if Donkey Kong has characters from his series, then Wario should have some from his series
i will never be picking anything other than dry bones if he's an option, but i do hope we get rob from mkds

I’d love to see Kirby representation!
@@knightofarkronia9968 or a Rayman representation, if they get the rights to add him to the main roster as a guest character.
I’d rather we left that behind. They’ve barely scratched the surface of this franchise.

King Bob Omb and E Gadd PLEASE!!!
Who are you hoping for the next Mario Kart game?
Watch the video. :)

A mario 64 rep like king bobomb would be cool though
I think the 3 extra slots would just be goomba, spike, and honey queen

@ Mario party
My question is the mii come back on new mario kart ?
Hey where's king k rool??
I feel the guest characters have a chance, but something tells me they would make them DLC
Specially when does characters have new modern looks
Yeah I could definitely see that happening!

King K. Rool pls 😭
I can wait 😁😁
Same! :)
