Last Thursday Nintendo finally revealed the long-awaited switch 2. The only game that was showcased is the long-awaited next Mario kart, The short footage has already been analyze to death. the thing that has been notice the most is that they are 24 starting lines. This means that they could be up to 24 racers on the same track at the same time. We are going to get some wild multiplayer races.
For the roster, we saw the usual suspects. Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Donkey Kong (why he looks like the movie version I don’t know why) and so on. With all of the extra space and extra starting lines, I am thinking that we could get some guest racers. Like Link from 8 deluxe for example. Now I going to guess which characters outside of the Mario universe could be on the roster. I am going to pick 7 characters from the other Nintendo IPs and 7 from 3rd parties titles. Gentlemen start your engines.
First off let’s start with the Nintendo side of things. The first one is Zelda. We already have Link so why not add her to the mix as well. Next up is out favorite pink ball Kirby. I can only imagine how Kirby could suck up the shells that head his way. The next racer is the most famous Pokemon of all, Pikachu. He could electrify his foes, but I don’t think that Nintendo would do that. Up next Mr. game and watch. Samus should be a racer. I guess with her arm canon, she will have to drive with only one hand. It would be bad ass if Samus shoots the shells from her canon. The last two are from series that will hadn’t got a new version in years. They are Fox McCloud from star fox and Captain Falcon from F zero. Fox’s kart could be shape like his arwing. The captain would be a perfect fix naturally.
Now for the 7 from other titles. The first one should be obviously Sonic. Sonic have his own racing series so he should fit well there like a two-piece jigsaw puzzle. The next racer had his own racing series like Sonic. It is Crash Bandicoot. The next two are huge longshots but if the two make it, they would be amazing fits. This will depend on if their games make it to the switch 2. They are Master Chief from the halo series and Astro bot. We don’t know what the future holds for Ubisoft, but their mascot Rayman would be a great addition. If Mega Man makes it, then he could use the powers he got by defeating the evil robots on the track. The final one is Cloud from FF7. He could swing his buster sword around while driving his motorcycle.
