It works amazing for smash, but smash has always been a crossover and it's not called super smash mario. Like you said, changing the name would work. Does that mean we won't see another MarioKart with just Mario characters though? Will there even be a Mario Kart 9?

I don't think the next MK will have a cast consisting of just Mario characters, no. Not after this. But the main cast will definitely be there, still. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad, Peach, Wario, Bowser and the likes - they've been there since forever. Now I could see them dropping a lot of the secondary characters that don't regularly reappear/aren't popular/were only used once, like the Koopalings, Toadette, Metal Mario and the likes. That way they'd have more time/resources to focus on big Nintendo characters from other IP's.

I imagine the focus will still be on Mario characters, mainly. And the Mario Kart name is a bit too valuable and recognized to cast away and replace with a new name. Mario Kart All-Stars seems nice.

It would be the same series, but completely transformed. Kind of like what they did to Dragon Ball each new season. Metal Mario was my main, but I could definitely switch him out with Link or Samus. I wonder if they would have items from different series though.
