People complain about the Mario roster but when you really consider the core cast this is it. Any other character is pretty much a random guest to the mix in so the roster selections feels a bit different from the last.

Also Diddy Kong and E Gadd are not core Mario characters. Diddy is a core DK character and E Gadd is a core Luigi's Mansion character. Diddy is lucky to guest in most sports games.

Does this means Waluigi and Daisy could one day get their own sub series with their own cast?

Diddy and K. Rool deserve to be included.

Anything's possible. Problem is what exactly would their spin-off be? Nintendo doesn't like making games that aren't unique. I once imagined a Rosalina spin-off game that plays a lot like a chao garden, only with her you are raising lumas and at the end of their life cycle they grow into planets which has new creatures and environments that can explore and collect stuff for raising your future lumas.

Waluigi should have gotten WarioWare and Wario kept going on adventures. Ashley could have also been pushed for a spinoff. All those characters branching out and doing their own things was the best part about those series in the 90's.

It feels crazy to me how close we were to having banjo-Kazooie be a part of the Mario franchise by extension of the DK franchise. I'm pretty sure after conquers bad fur day though Nintendo was more than happy to trade the Banjo-Kazooie IP for everything else DK related that rare made.
Intelligent systems has been trying to do more with Ashley but I don't think they got any ideas for her.

Sometimes I wonder if Rare and Nintendo's relationship kept going would Banjo-Kazooie (if the series continued despite Rare's own feelings against franchise fatigue) ever develop more connections to Donkey Kong or even the mainline Mario canon
Not Conker though, his game never came out in Japan and NCL probably hates him

I remember when the Mariowiki had a page for every Banjo-Kazooie and Conker character
Not individual pages, just literally one big article for each series'
Of course this was before they assimilated the Donkey Kong wiki

If that did happen then banjo would be the ambassador character for most Mario spin-off / party games and we might even have gotten a banjo DK crossover game.

That depends if Rare would've even continued it or if another competent developer wanted to do it

The remake did, but your overall point stands. They were playing with the idea in Diddy Kong Pilot.

Anyone else have a weird, underlying feeling that Nintendo's going to turn the Mario Kart IP into a Smash Bros. clone? That is, making it a crossover IP from this point forward.

They were already testing the waters with 8, but I think there's a legitimate change they're going to go through with it in World, with DLC expansions being tied to specific IPs, and by extension, getting entirely new maps, items, mechanics and ETC - tied to those IPs.

They're clearly saving the Diddy and a potential DK roster for a DK expansion, and the open-world gimmick is ripe for some kind of Zelda-themed DLC thing.

I doubt it'll be a Smash Bros clone
At most they'll just more EPD characters guest star
It's the co-owned second party characters where things get messy

I'm not expecting much 3rd party rep but I do think 1st-party IP content is very likely.

I suspected they were going to do expansions with various Mario satellite franchises. The DK expansion is a no-brainer, they might announce it after or during the DK Bonanza release. Later we could see a Luigi's Mansion expansion or wario war / diamond city expansion. I would love to see a Yoshi's Island or a delfino island set of tracks in the future. Personally I don't think they'll go The smash Bros route and add in elements from Zelda or splatoon in the same way they would add in new courses, I think that could happen a decade from now but not for this game.

If rare was bought out by Nintendo then they most definitely would have done a crossover. If Nintendo just got the IP then it would be far less likely but during the GameCube error Nintendo had far more second and third party studios that they worked with so that would have been the best time

retards like you prove why /v/ is the lowest IQ board on the site.
No.
They aren't.
Because Mario Kart World having an open explorable world means all tracks need to exist in the world.
Cross over tracks would then need to be in the world. Nintendo isnt going to do that and have zelda, splatoon, pikmin, AC, or whatever directly tied to mario.
