But it is an unnecessary barrier to casual players while only harming the elegant simplicity of the series. And don't get me started about how the karts handle like top-heavy dune buggies.

Casual players are not pants on head retarded. Does the Kart move forward and shoot red shells? That's the only thing that matters. I don't know why the 2nd character is such a "barrier" to you considering a casual gamer can completely ignore it for no real detriment to his experience. Why is "two people riding on a vehicle" so intimidating to anybody?

The core appeal of Mario Kart is its accessible simplicity. The dual character setup was less appealing because it goes against this.
