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. Instead of adding Babies or clones why Nintendo didn't add something original like Pauline? - DaisyandRosalina
She is the original damsel in distress and the only Mario lead character never to appear in Mario Kart. So sad...
Yes please no more pink gold peach or cat peach or tanooki Mario give us a non clone character
YES PLEASE! I don't want another metal princess peach baby thing again! - RosalinaX

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.
I Would switch Mario and luigi for Birdo to be in future Mario kart games. Yup I mean it 100%

His first game was created in 1992, and the pink puffball has made his way into the hearts of fans of all ages. 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
With other Nintendo characters coming in Mario Kart, Kirby would be great DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. He's one of the very few characters with a racing game. - KingFab
This is Mario Kart, not Kirby Kart.
Anon, Anon, Anon.
Link and Animal Crossing Kart don't exist, but they were added. - Qryzx
YES.

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.
I'd rather not - Randomator
Of course! Land master can be his kart 😄

Well, duh. I highly doubt Luigi wouldn't be put in it. - Wereweegee

Wasn't Luigi always a playable character? - RosalinaX
6 Bowser Jr.

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
This is the character that I am begging for. He was not in the last game.
And now he will be (edit). - DCfnaf
7 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?
We need more broken time trial characters. SO bring him back with the flame runner
Not sure if he will come back. - DaisyandRosalina
Where my Flame Runner at

8 Sonic
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.
I always dreamed of Sonic being in Mario Kart and Mario was gonna be in Sonic Sega All Star Racing - Aidanisawesome
The Olympic spin offs and Super Smash Bros aren't the ONLY places Mario and Sonic could meet up!
He would not need vehicle to do the race he would pass people and say "You're too slow! "

If Link is in this game, Why not ZELDA? Seriously, the game series is named after her! - RosalinaX
No thanks Link is enough - Randomator

King Boo is the leader of all the Boos, and the main antagonist in both Luigi's Mansion and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
King Boo is the leader of all the Boos, and the main antagonist in both Luigi's Mansion and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. Get Link and Pink Gold Peach's ass out of here, and put King Boo.
He's coming back in Mario Kart 8 so he probably will come back for Mario Kart 9 too. - DaisyandRosalina
Yeah he's the coolest one like ever
He is My boy - Noudritman123

17 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

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.
Do you guys like the picture I posted of him? Anyway, I really want him in Mario Kart 9. - DCfnaf
KAMEK IS UNDERRATED!
I would love it if he came as a Mario Kart character! - RosalinaX

Pretty big chance she will get in. - DCfnaf
If the roster is big she will come back without a doubit. - DaisyandRosalina
She is so adorable she better appear or else I am ganna do what choclate guy does - epictoonsfan1
20 Pac Man
Low chance but I like him - Randomator
He was in the Mario kart arcade GP 3 times I think he should be put in Mario kart 9
I would like to see Pac Man in the next Mario kart 9 game. please please please
Pac Man should return in MK9. So should Cylindrea from Pac Man and The Ghostly Adventures.

21 Nabbit
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
Absolutely yes - Randomator
22 Peach
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.
Don't waste your time hating her, she will come back. - DaisyandRosalina
Everyone loves peach! Peach is so peachy!
100% guaranteed. Don't waste your time bashing her, it's happening. - DCfnaf

I agree with this one. Another character from Pokemon I want in MK9 is Lucario.
YAS QUEEN SLAY! - RosalinaX
This is Mario Kart not Pokémon Go!

Diddy Kong is a fictional character in the Donkey Kong series of video games, first appearing in the 1994 game Donkey Kong Country. 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! He's been flipping us off for the past three games!
Come on Nintendo put him in Mario kart again - Randomator
Diddy Kong needs to be in Mario Kart 9! he should of made it into MK8 way before all the Mario and Peach clones and Baby Characters!

30 Mr. Resetti
Why should Mr. Resetti be in Mario Kart 9?
What. The. Hell. Is. THIS?!?
Sorry, but YES
NO! - DCfnaf
31 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
Maybe. - DCfnaf

he is cool - Noudritman123
Eh - Randomator
This would be cool, but how would he drive? I mean, he was in the Mario Baseball games, so it’s not impossible. - SmashPrincess
37 Toadsworth
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.
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.
I actually would like to see that. Toadsworth would be a nice addition. - SmashPrincess
Not a bad choice - Randomator

People say that he shouldn't come back because he wasn't meant to be in it in the first place. Well... GROW UP, HATERS! Can R.O.B be in a Sonic DLC?
