I love all of the characters from the original but, from the casual gamer stand point, the only one who is recognizable is Diddy. I would argue that Diddy's mildly low popularity would be much more beneficial than them making a new character who the public wouldn't recognize or probably won't care for.
With DK's surge in popularity from DKCR, making a racing game from that series would be a better business decision. And what better way to do that than to bring back a beloved racing game from the N64 days that those old fans would recognize.
I just liked idea of Diddy leading a bunch of 'nobodies' from Nintendo's lesser franchises in order for them to become Nintendo's next big star. A hipster version of MK just sounds awesome!
