Hey.
Ive red the topic about bringing in Samus Aran to Mario Kart and why the other 4 characters(DDK, ROB, Ms Pac-man, and the annoying villian of pac man) are in it, Sorry for Ressurecting this again.
To point out the thing wat was already said but again being written here to clearify it all
Samus Made a Cameo to Mario RPG: Main reason was PR for the Metroid series and just some small addition only fans notice(example: Mario in Hyrule Castle in OOT)
The original ape you fight in the first mario where you need to save Pauline(no, NOT daisy or Peach) was later announced as Crancky Kong, the original Donkey Kong as we know him now made his first appearance in Donkey Kong 2(As Donkey Kong JR) and was being added in the SNES MK as Donkey Kong jr(now Known as the DK of Today)
The Main reason Diddy Kong is MK: DD!! and MK Wii is because of the MK: DD!! gameplay that needed doubles, and DK didnt had one yet, they where forced to place diddy kong in it, this explanation is being questioned now since the arrival of Funky Kong, but if theres a Universe of Nintendo as connected towards the Marioverse(Leaving out Yoshi's own universe), it will be Donkey Kong's then, since Mario actually was Created there.
Now for the Characters Mr/Ms Pac-Man and ROB: Since the beginning of 3-D Games and Consoles, some of the long forgotten Minor Mascots where being forgotten, and Shigeru already told us in some interviews he will try to ressurect most of them, It already happened to Pit(Kid Icarus) and the use of ROB on random games has been a succes(since he was the western mascot of the SNES(Diskun of Japan/China)), thats why Rob was being implemented in MK, The Pac-man where only in it because it was an Arcade Game they where on and made by Namco, Samus Aran, Already Had one of the strongest Universe in Nintendo's Archive, so why should it be on a MK Universe based game then?
Anyway, Samus on a Mario Kart Game, aint seeing it happen since we have SSB for that, but if they will do it, they are gonna need a double partner for it then, which char chould it be then, the Sa-X?And if they do Samus, they must do Link to, and seeing Epoca doing powerslide or hit that poor horse with a banzai bill will give this game a 12+ Rating
PS: The thing that really bugged me was that i can find an explanation on everything on samus towards mario kart, but i cant find any logic why the Blue Falcon from the F-Zero Universe is in the game
