That would be very fun. May I ask on why you think so? :)

Sure.

I think it is very weird that they did such extensive DLC on Mario Kart this far after its release. At this point just launching Mario Kart with new courses would feel underwhelming, especially since there are nearly 100 tracks in Mario Kart 8. Basically Mario Kart 8 is just too big and full of content. It's hard to imagine a straight up sequel that won't feel like a downgrade in some sense, and considering this is one of their biggest system sellers, I don't think they want that. They need something that will make people feel like it's worth buying a new system for. 

I think the most likely thing they could do is open it up to more Nintendo franchises. They already have done a little bit of that in the DLC, but it would definitely be cool to see Metroid themed levels, Kirby themed levels, Pokemon, etc. And of course characters from those franchises. It also serves as advertising for their franchises, which would kind of make it perfect for a launch title.

Oh that would be very cool indeed. So Nintendo would be expanding outside the Mario Universe and letting other characters in, like Smash (at least thats the concept I think of when you described this). And they can have game specific tracks, like Victory Road (Pokémon), Darkling Woods (Fire Emblem), Halberd (Kirby), ZDR (Metroid), etc... 
I agree that this idea for Super Mario Kart (or whatever it will be called) is a step up from what Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + DLC brought to the table.
It has also been +10 years since the release of Mario Kart 8.
