Fun Club Kirby in Mario Kart Yes or Yes????

[Discokuningas]

Kirby and Kirby track(s) please.

Edit: Or, let's just abandon Mario Kart 9 and make Kirby Kart instead!

 

[Vantell]

Yes.

He could definitely give the Luigi death stare a run, so sure, why not.

if nintendo wanted kirby in mario kart they would jump through all those hurdles, sure.

but there's a very clear reason why they're hands off with the brand when it comes to merchandising, and why only other EPD characters have been playable in Mario Kart with the only exceptions being the arcade games where bandai namco created the games and controls the guest IPs already.

it's the same reason why kirby (and Pokemon and Fire Emblem, for that matter) doesn't actually crossover with other nintendo series outside of big events like Smash, where they're already dealing with a bunch of other teams and brand owners to ensure that they're correctly portraying a character, and it's that it's a lot more work than you'd think.

Yeah, it's this, too.

We couldn't even get the return of all the amiibo stuff that was in the first game back in Mario Maker 2.

Kirby is different to the Nintendo ip’s already in Mario kart because all of the current characters were created by Nintendo EPD, nitnedo doenst fully own Kirby, nor make any Kirby games.

So form that it’s already unrealistic but hey the broke out of Mario to epd, maybe they can break out of epd for the greater Nintendo library. But I personally doubt it as animal crossing does not reference any non epd titles, and neither does any epd title from my memory. So it might be a first from the company aside form smash (in which the crossover is the entire draw, where in Mario kart the crossover is a neat bonus (for marketing))

Samus, olimar, fox and captain falcon
, a xenoblade character and someone from arms (the exact same division within Nintendo made arms and mario kart) are a lot more likely to make it In the future.

Fire emblem, Pokémon, Kirby and some other minor ip’s aren’t fully owned by Nintendo and other than publishing the games and marketing the games they don’t do anything with the series, that’s why Pokémon made it to mobile and why it had multimedia stuff before other Nintendo ip’s, why Kirby gets much more merchandising then any other Nintendo ip despite it being relativly not small. Other than recently Nintendo has been really conservative with their ips. Except Pokémon, fire emblem and Kirby because they don’t call the shots with those franchises, and sure they could but why would they, they get pretty much free licensing money with no work at all from those franchises.

I just want Super Smash Kart. bring over the whole Smash roster with MK racing as the main focus, but with a vehicle combat mode too.
