Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Why isn't samus in a mario kart game?

kenzomatic on 04 April 2008

Hypothetically if enough hype was generated it might happen. Think about sonic, the key is to get everyone talking about how cool it would be. To the point there is all sort of fake news about it and professional game critics supporting it.

Or in lehman's terms easy extra money

Edit: But I don't think Samus brings much of that. But maybe the nexx SSB will have a racing element 



"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

Don't you think it's a little late for that?

For a petition? No I could still do it. Maybe I should do a petition for a new nintendo ip that is a racing game with all of the characters in smah bros. The petition thing was a joke btw.


No, not before the implementation of my idea of Super 'RTS' brothers is fulfilled :P .. because that idea is perfect and nintendo would be stupid not to cash in on it

think about it.. every franchise is its own race (or multiple races) where you can build towns and units.. from mushroom kingdom, to hylians, from Galactic Federations to Pikmin.. the possibilities are limitless... DO IT NINTENDO

Why I always wondered that? She could have a mini version of her ship as her kart.

READ BELOW BEFORE POSTING IF You DIDN"T READ THIS THREAD.

Edit:

Alright let me say this as clear as possible.

You guys said that only mario characters could be in a mario kart game.

So I asked why diddy kong and donkey kong were in the game.

You guys proved donkey kong counts but never proved that diddy kong counts.

Then I asked why samus couldn't be in a mario kart game because she was in smrpg.

You guys said she was a cameo.

I accepted that.

But then I found out that there is also a cameo. R.O.B

Then you guys didn't prove rob to count.

Then there are two other characters that don't relate to mario at all MS. Pacman and Mametchi.

That means there are 4 exceptions to the rule that only mario characters could be in the game.

So that makes the statemen " Only Characters that appear in the mario universe are allowed in mario kart"wrong.

So if you anaylize my response you should see that my logic isn't flawed to believe that there could be exceptions.

Also when did nintendo ever say that only mario characters could be in the game. You just assume since the majority is mario characters that those are the rules.

I think this thread should end because I got my point across even though some people don't see it the way I do.

 


Pacman and Mametchi appeared in Mk because NAMCO developed the arcade version of MK, so there was an agreement to insert those characthers.

DK is related to Mario's world, Diddy is just in the package: buy one, take two.

R.O.B is not really a characther, it's originally a device that supposedly should play with you or for you. It's not in a especific universe.

No company ever said that a game is just related to it's own particular universe. Should I complain that God of War doesn't show Rachet, Sly, etc?

For the same reason you don't see link, nor star fox, nor kirby, nor pikachu or anyother else: becuse is named MARIO Kart. Not NINTENDO kart.

Why she did appeared in SMRPG? That game was made by Squaresoft and they had "that" idea. MK was made by Nintendo. Besides that game and the smah bros franchise, what other games you saw that to repeat?

Diddy Kong I agree shouldn't be there because he belongs more to the "Donkey Kong country" games but I guess that they included him because HE'S related to Donkey Kong which belongs to the mario universe (DK was the first enemy of mario before bowser). So he's sort of a "missing link" to those games. Or the DKC games are spinoffs of the mario games, could be.

And R.O.B? meh that was just fan service crap.

Samus is too tall to fit in thoes small karts (her shins would be sticking out if she sat down)  and her special item would be more powerfull than the blue spiney shell (Samus using a Power Bomb or super missle? deadly!)

Waluigi shouldn't count either. He is only in spin-off and party games. So that means there are exceptions.
 

rant

{

Waluigi really shouldn't count. In fact, he should be erased from existance. He may be the single worst character nintendo have ever created. Even his name is terrible. I can see how wario works for mario, upside down m and all that. Waluigi to luigi = fail possibly epic. I hope someone was fired for this.

}



Yes

It's called Mario Kart, it takes place in the mario universe (yes, DK was originally a mario character)
Did you notice there is no "Mario" in SSB that's because it's not in the mario universe, so, everyone can jump in



Listen to the voice of reason, then do as I say.

Hey. stupid. Pacman and metamechi were part of a deal with Namco for Mario Kart Arcade. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are technically from the Mario Universe. Look it up, D.K came from Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong needed a partner in Double Dash, enter Diddy Kong. So by saying that Samus should be in Mario Kart, then Link, Pikmen, Olimar, Pokemon, Fox, and Pit should be in Mario Kart, hence forth making it Brawl, in karts. Or as I like to call it. Nintendo Kart Wii. Oh God. I should totally start making that. TO JAPAN! *Cue Batman Theme*

Samus isn't in MK Wii because she is from the future and her kart would be way more advanced and powerful so she would always win. Same for Fox. Link on the other hand would have to ride a horse so he would lose every race.

 Hm I wonder how far in the future she is. It says in the first games manual that the galactic federation started in the year 2000. So maybe it is in this century. 


Jesus how'd we miss an intergalactic Federation being formed...
