We know Cranky Kong would rather wax nostalgic and unload on us with tales on how “back in his day, Mario Kart used Mode 7 graphics, and not these fancy-schmancy 3D graphics”, but Cranky is no stranger to being playable ever since a major co-starring role in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Therefore, we have to wonder what the hold up is with having the senior member of the Kong family join the Mario Kart fun.
#ALL CHARACTERS IN MARIO KART 7 3DS SERIES#
Mario Kart Tour, too, has had no problem having members of the Kong family join up for some radical racing action, including Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong (who made her first appearance in the Mario Kart series with Tour), and Funky Kong (who was previously playable in Mario Kart Wii). Rool join its lineup of baseball players. After all, Mario Super Sluggers on the Wii saw Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and even the Kremling villain King K. While this surly and elderly member of the Kong family is more thought of as part of the Donkey Kong Country line of games, both the Mario and Donkey Kong franchises have crossed over numerous times in the past. He could even join during an upcoming Halloween-themed tour for the game, as that would be the perfect time for the professor to make his arrival on the roster and invent some new ways to win on the racetrack. That seems like a missed opportunity, but there’s always a chance to make things right by having the good professor join up with the Mario Kart cast as a driver.Įven if it’s simply in Mario Kart Tour, which we’ve already seen has no problem adding a robust lineup of never-before-playable characters to its roster, Professor E. Gadd was nowhere to be found in Mario Kart DS itself. This needs to change, as the creator of the Poltergust vacuum our cowardly but loveable hero uses to vanquish ghosts and specters is more than deserving of a spot on the tour.ĭespite there being a kart based on the Poltergust in the Nintendo DS iteration of the Mario Kart series, Professor E. Gadd is rarely seen outside of the Luigi’s Mansion series. Save for a cameo appearance in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Professor E. A long time to wait, for sure!īoth Boom Boom and Pom Pom would make great additions to Mario Kart, serving as heavyweights most likely, and seem long overdue (again, especially Boom Boom) to join up with the likes of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, and more on the Mario Kart roster. In fact, his first major playable appearance in a spin-off was as a DLC character in Mario Tennis Aces on the Switch.
3, arrive in the series with Mario Kart 8 while poor Boom Boom hasn’t gotten much representation at all in Mario spin-offs at large. We’ve seen the Koopalings, who also debuted in Super Mario Bros. Pom Pom and especially Boom Boom are more than deserving as additions to the Mario Kart roster. She can even produce fake versions of herself to trip up her enemies as well.
While Boom Boom stomps around, occasionally also seen flying at times in the 2D games, Pom Pom carries around a large shuriken, tossing it at her opponents. It only made too much sense for Nintendo to create a female counterpart to Boom Boom, and that is where Pom Pom entered into the picture. 3 as a common boss in the fortresses of the game. While Pom Pom is relatively new to the Mario-verse, Boom Boom has been around almost since the beginning, debuting in Super Mario Bros. These characters are generally thought of as being together ever since the latter’s first appearance in a Mario game courtesy of the Nintendo 3DS game Super Mario 3D Land. Boom Boom & Pom Pom Mario Kart Characters We have come up with a list of six characters more than overdue of having themselves added to the ever-expanding roster of racers within the Mario Kart series. However, there are several other prime candidates deserving of an appearance in future Mario Kart games or even Mario Kart Tour itself that haven’t yet been added in an entry. Mario Kart Tour itself has seen the appearance of several new playable characters introduced to the Mario Kart series, such as Pauline, Nabbit, Dixie Kong, King Bob-Omb, the Hammer Bro, Ice Bro, and Fire Bro, for instance. That was until this week of course, as he was added into Mario Kart Tour. Instead, Donkey Kong took his place on the roster, and poor Kamek has been in Mario Kart limbo ever since.
Kamek was originally supposed to debut in Mario Kart 64, 25 years ago. This character was none other than the most prominent of Magikoopa, Kamek. Last week saw a brand-new, never-before-playable character within the Mario Kart series debut in the rather successful Mario Kart Tour.
