1 Pink Gold Peach
Pink Gold Peach is a character who debuts in Mario Kart 8, where she appears as an unlockable playable character. One of the most unoriginal Mario Kart characters ever created.
I hate her so much she is basically Peach but gold
2 Link
Link refers to several different incarnations of the same protagonist of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series. Though it is cool seeing Link in Mario Kart he just feels really out of place especially driving around in a bike.
3 Baby Rosalina
Baby Rosalina is an infant version of the major character from the Mario Bros . Franchise, Rosalina . She first appeared in Mario Kart 8 as a playable character and is now one of 5 baby characters in the roster, alongside infant versions of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Princess Daisy . Did we really need more baby versions of existing characters.
4 Tanooki Mario
Yet another alternate costumed character couldn't they just give characters alternative costumes instead of making them stand alone character.
5 Cat Peach
They didn't even try with this couldn't they get more new characters in Mario Kart rather than just make clones of preexisting characters.
6 Isabelle
Isabelle is a character from the "Animal Crossing" series. She first appeared in "Animal Crossing: New Leaf". In the game, she assists the player with their duties as mayor. As a dog, Isabelle is a friendly and helpful companion to the player throughout their mayoral journey. Couldn't they have gotten Tom Nook or even Mr. Resetti from the Animal Crossing franchise other than her.
7 Donkey Kong Jr
For the inaugural Mario Kart game, Super Mario Kart it include the most iconic Mario characters and then there's Donkey Kong Jr which was just a weird choice especially since he was later replaced by Donkey Kong in Mario Kart 64.
8 Wiggler
Wigglers are a species of caterpillar in the Mario franchise. They have a segmented body and comically large nose and are yellow slowly moving when happy, but turn red and run angrily very quickly if they get jumped on
9 Metal Mario
Metal Mario is a character that appears in both the Mario series and the Super Smash Bros, where he made his first appearance in the Nintendo 64 version. He's pretty similar to Mario when using a Metal Cap, but instead of being a transformation, Metal Mario is his own character.

The Contenders
11 Mario
He was going to be added by an idiot anyways.
12 R.O.B.
But in the very best possible way.
13 Honey Queen
Honey Queen (better known in Super Mario Galaxy as Queen Bee) is the queen of all the honeybees who is a very large bee and always talks nosism. She appears in both of the Super Mario Galaxy games, where she rules over all the honeybees in three different galaxies, and in Mario Kart 7 where she appears as a heavyweight unlockable driver. The only negative about this character was that she wrongfully took Waluigi's place in MK7.
