The Top Ten

1 Pauline Pauline Pauline, also known as Daniella Verducci, is the original damsel-in-distress whom Mario must rescue from the eponymous ape in the original Donkey Kong.

I want her in Mario Kart 9

She deserves to be in more games, love her character.

She deserves to be in SSB Ultimate for Nintendo Switch, also! - NaruHinaBlaze1

YES PLEASE! I don't want another metal princess peach baby thing again! - RosalinaX

2 Birdo Birdo Birdo is a dinosaur that is well known for her (or his) confused Gender. It was originally stated that Birdo was a male who believed he was a female, but this was changed in later games. Birdo is commonly referred to as a girl, however, they are in a relationship with Yoshi. Birdo first appeared in ...read more.

Everyone wants birdo

Man I like her a lot. I want her back. - DCfnaf

Birdo was not in Mario Kart 8 but Pink Gold Peach was, PINK GOLD PEACH! Birdo is underrated and needs to come back. - DaisyandRosalina

I would switch the useless Princess broads trio for Birdo. Daisy/peach/Rosalina are worthless but not birdo.

3 Kirby Kirby Kirby is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Kirby series of video games owned by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory. His first game was created in 1992, and the pink puffball has made his way into the hearts of fans of all ages.

Kirby is better than link by a bajillion

Heck yeah we have inkling,link, villager and Kirby is way more known then villager and isabelle way more popular
then tanookimario and cat peach and he is sooo cute and could have a death stare like luigi

YES.

Yes! Kirby should be in the next Mario Kart! Link, the Villager, and even the Inklings have made it into game, but not Kirby? He was even in the Rosalina and Luma Reveal Trailer, where he was on Rainbow Road! It makes sense, and also, he is really cute

HRM, I honestly feel like Fox in Mario doesn't make sense, or is that just me? - RosalinaX

ToadF1. I respect your opinion. Are you aware why people are calling your comment "very rude" and "not nice"?

It's because of your wording. See, if you say "Who's stupid? Who'd want fox? ", people register that as an insult.

If you say "I don't think that's a good idea because...", maybe people would not make these "ToadF1, that's not nice" comments. Maybe you can learn from this comment and be able to share these sorts of opinions again... with better wording, of course.

I would be that character more than King Boo.

ToadF1 that's not nice, people aren't stupid if they want Fox McCloud in. Fox McCloud is an amazing video game character

5 Bowser Jr. Bowser Jr. Bowser Jr., or sometimes simply Jr., is a video game character who appears in Nintendo's Mario franchise as the secondary antagonist. As his name implies, he is the son of the series' primary antagonist, Bowser.

He's like after bowser my favourite

I forgot they took out characters like Bowser Jr. and King Boo! PLEASE NINTENDO BRING THEM BACK!

He's in Deluxe now bring him back for mk9 - Randomator

Why was he not in Mariokart 8

6 Funky Kong

You know how in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe there are multiple color variants of Yoshi? Well, I'm thinking maybe Funky Kong could come back to Mario Kart as a palette swap of Donkey Kong. Don't worry, though, because he still has his own voice clips. Do you agree, or disagree?

Where my Flame Runner at

We need more broken time trial characters. SO bring him back with the flame runner

Not sure if he will come back. - DaisyandRosalina

If link is back Zelda should be in the game to

If Link is in this game, Why not ZELDA? Seriously, the game series is named after her! - RosalinaX

I Agree If links in zelda should be

No thanks Link is enough - Randomator

8 Sonic Sonic Sonic the Hedgehog, trademarked Sonic The Hedgehog, is the title character and protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by Sega, as well as numerous spin-off comics, five animated shows, and an animated OVA.

I don't want to see Sonic in another Mario game. They're supposed to be enemies. - Smash64

It's Mario Kart, not Sonic R - benpiano800

He would not need vehicle to do the race he would pass people and say "You're too slow! "

Sonic should meet up with Mario other than the olympic games. Other characters in Sonic are Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Eggman, Silver, Blaze, Big, E123 OMEGA, Eggman Nega, Shadow and Sticks.

Wasn't Luigi always a playable character? - RosalinaX

Last night weegee crept into my room and put garlic bread in my ass

I have some ideas for Luigi in Mario Kart 9.
If Luigi lose a race, he say: "Oh my Gòd! " like the Japanese. version of Mario Party.
If Lugi being hit by an item like bananas or shells, he say: "Darn It! ", I want more dialoghe in Mario Kart for have more variety.

Luigi could have the death stare like in Mario Kart 8. - ImoTube

He also appears in spinoff titles, like Mario Party, in which he is not a playable character but creates an obstacle for the players on their way ...read more.

On certain other Mario titles I LOVE Kamek. Besides, it's much better compared to the two troubles called Baby Daisy and Baby Rosalina. - Qryzx

KAMEK IS UNDERRATED!
I would love it if he came as a Mario Kart character! - RosalinaX

Do you know Kamek was originally planned to be in Mario Kart 64? Later he was replaced by Donkey Kong. How would the other games look like if Kamek did appear in Mario Kart 64? That is a question with no answer. He would be a middleweight.

It's like Nintendo hates Kamek when it comes to the sports titles.

13 Professor E. Gadd Professor E. Gadd

We need Professor E Gadd in Mario Kart 9. He would be a great character choice and with all of his popularity from the Luigi's mansion series, I think he deserves to be in Mario Kart 9. And he would be way better than stupid, no good, rotten, lame PINK GOLD PEACH!

He would make such a great addition to the roster! I would love to see him in a Mario Kart game. - SmashPrincess

He would be interesting! - DaisyandRosalina

He was planned for Mario Kart ds

He's coming back in Mario Kart 8 so he probably will come back for Mario Kart 9 too. - DaisyandRosalina

18 Pac Man

PAC MAN Is A Best Choice That I Deserve

He was in the arcade version. - benpiano800

Love him so much but it isn't happening. - DCfnaf

20 Nabbit Nabbit

This would be a creative decision. - benpiano800

We gotta catch Nabbit, since he stole items out of my Toad House! says a yellow coloured Toad. Probably, I don't have New Super Mario Bros. U. The main reason is the same as Il Piantissimo's: he is a racer. He would be a featherweight, right?

I want him so badly - DCfnaf

One of the best ideas. - DaisyandRosalina

Don't waste your time hating her, she will come back. - DaisyandRosalina

If it wasn't for Peach then Mario would not have her to rescue and then lots of Mario games wouldn't excist and then there would be no point for Mario then there is no point for lots of other characters.

Everyone loves peach! Peach is so peachy!

No Idea who that is

No chance but I love him. - DCfnaf

26 Samus Aran Samus Aran Samus Aran is the protagonist of the Metroid science fiction action-adventure game series by Nintendo.
27 Hammer Bro Hammer Bro

I first made a list using another programme, and I noticed I had 9 character ideas that I liked. From the ones I did not have an opinion, this is the best for me. Hammer Bro is a character a lot of people talk about. But I just don't like the idea of him being a racer. He could better be an obstacle on the race itself, throwing hammers at the racers which the racers need to avoid. But if he appears, he would be a middleweight, I think.

He was originally going to be plained as character in Mario Kart Wii, but replaced by someone else

Or their could be a sledge bro as a heavyweight

Why is this at the bottom?

34 Toadsworth Toadsworth

He should be in Mario Kart 9, he seldom appear in mario games. - ImoTube

Good Idea. I think Toadsworth could replace that retard Toad in Mario Kart seeing as Toadsworth is 100% underrated because he only helps you in Mario Superstar Baseball for the Game Cube, Super Mario Sunshine and Mario Super Sluggers for the Wii and Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time for the DS.

We already got a male and a female Toad. Now an older Toad! Go Toadsworth! By the way, Toadsworth has appeared in a Mario Kart game earlier: Mario Kart: Double Dash! He was the driver of the golden car which is used during trophy ceremonies. He would be a lightweight. Not a featherweight.

I actually would like to see that. Toadsworth would be a nice addition. - SmashPrincess

Diddy Kong WAS planned to be in Mario Kart 8, but was released before release. He didn't even return to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! Diddy is one of the many Mario Kart Double Dash characters to have grown on me like mould on bread (but in a good way), so you should have thought better. That punk Metal Mario!
