The recently released Mario Kart World is chockfull of playable characters with a diverse and balanced roster, however, some are wondering why some non-Mario themed characters weren’t included. Ouest-France chatted with Kosuke Yabuki, the producer of Mario Kart World, to find out why this isn’t a thing. Yabuki told the publication that he didn’t think that was the right fit for the game and that there are plenty of charters for everyone to enjoy.
“As developers, it would have seemed incongruous to add characters from other games to this universe. And it didn’t seem necessary, given everything we could already do with Mario. We inevitably wonder how players will perceive this cast. But there are so many characters and so many costumes that there’s sure to be something for everyone.”
