First thing, I know about the RPG and I dont want SSB whored out. This is just another idea. No that thats out of the way this was an idea I had for a Nintendo themed racing game. First off here are the characters I've chosen
Mario Luigi Peach Bowser DK Yoshi Wario(w/ Wario Ware outfit) Link Zelda Ganondorf Samus Kirby Meta-Knight Fox Falco Pikachu Pichu C. Falcon Ness Marth Pit Jill
Theres 22 but I will try anmd knock it down to 2 or less. The main ggimmik of this game is alonm side racing you must also attack your foe. Theres of course itemss which I'll elaborate on later. Each character can attack others which damamges there cars. There also a super attack that can do a variety of nasty effects. The kitems is another system. Each character has his/her own set of itmes. Mario can get items that Peach or Pikachu cant get. This will allow ffor more diversity Each character also has there own cars. 2 cars are specific to a character and cant be used by anyone else. The others are split up amonce the players. Heres some of the more creative ones
Epona Kart(Link only)-A kart that models Epona. Incresses Link's super attack Eggplant Chariot-The personal vehichle of the eggplant wizard. It make a weird sound when hit Excitbike-A motercycle with a unique boost abilitiy. Dont over use it though
This idea is a tad more realistic since there no story to it, just race. Let me know your thoughs and share your ideas. If you'd like me to move it into the RPG post then let me know. Thanks.

Well. Thing is. SSB would have been a bad idea if there had been a Mario themed fighter just like it. As it is, with Mario Kart already in existence, a Nintendo Kart game is a bit overkill.

Hmmm. True. Seems though that SSB style game would work well for this genre.

I'm sorry if this sounds weird, but it sounds like SSB characters plopped into Mario Kart. And try a new name "Super Smash Kart!"

Super Smash Racers!!
It would be good if each character had their own themed car, themed attack and themed stage.
I've often thought about it... but I don't think it would work using the same characters as SSB. A ton of Mario characters is overkill, as they already appear in a racing game.
My choice would be:
Character (car - attack - stage)
Mario (Mario Kart - Fireball - Mushroom Kingdom) Wario (Wario car - Barge Bash - Treasure Cave) Donkey Kong (Rambi car - Banana Peel - Jungle Run) Link (Epona car - Sword Slash - Death Mountain) Samus Aran (Starship - Plasma Beam - Chozo Ruins) Kirby (Warp Star - Star Shoot - Bubbly Clouds) Fox (Arwing Car - Smart Bomb - Corneria City) Red & Pikachu (Pokemon Jeep - Poke Ball - Safari Zone) Capt. Falcon (Blue Falcon MkIII - Falcon Punch - Big Blue) Ness (UFO - PSI Flash - Onett) Marth (Wooden Wheels - Falchion Blade - Talis Island) Pit (Winged Legend - Energy Arrow - Angel Land) Bubbles (Bubble Racer - Hand Slap - Clu Clu Land) Takamaru (Edo Wagon - Samurai Star - Murasame Castle) Sukapon (Joy Mecha Buggy - Spin Slap - Joy City(?)) Mike Jones (All-Americola - Baseball - C-Island) ROB the Robot (Gyrowheels - Stack Drop - Hector's Lab) Lip (Flower Float - Lip's Stick - Fairy Field) Captain Olimar (Dolphin Drive - Pikmin Bomb - Forest of Hope) Andy (Tank - Spanner Spike - Battlefield) Master Hand (n/a - Smash - Final Destination)

Nice list. Sadly I do like having more characters from one franchisse. My problom ith editing the list was the character was too good(like Falco as he seems to fit well) and characters with unique trates( Pichu is like Dry Bones). Of course in my version every character has there own car only for them. There are others that think might be good. I might switch Jill for Excite Bike guy. I also like Bubbles in there.
The other thing I was thginking of was removing characters who woulddn't fit. Zelda mostly. Sadly Zelda was like Peach. She a light weight w/ high Drift. Zelda was like her but with lesser stats and better drift. Theres others who might be a tad useless. I was also going to put Marth in a basistic(If I spelled it right) and now that I think about it, Andy might work.
EDIT: I was also not going to call it SSB racer, or what ever. I had a name for it. Of course this would be a new franchise much like how Mario Kart is its own franchise. The name was somewhat of a rip off of Talladega Nights, but it was a good title.

It's always hard to let go of certain characters... and of course they would ALL be good in their own way. But sometimes you just have to accept that they wouldn't be different enough, and sometimes their inclusion steals the limelight from others.
I also had in mind the stages they could play on. I'd love a stage based on Clu Clu Land, and I love Bubbles, so putting them in would be excellent. A dirt track level for the Excitebiker would also be a good one. And I even managed to forget Mach Rider somehow!!
AND TINGLE!! Good lord. I would love a Tingle stage.

Instead of "Arwing car", Fox should have one of those hoverbike thingies from SF:Adv.
And what would "Pokeball" do? Oh right... probably the same as SSBB.
Would there be items?
Link should be in a carriage drawn by epona. Or epona herself.

Yoshi: Poochy Racer / Egg Throw / Yoshi's Island Popo & Nana: Icy Snowboard / Double Mallet / Mountain #32 Balloonist: Balloon Carpet / Needle Shoot / Balloon Trip
What about Little Mac?

Ness should drive the Runaway Five's Van. If not, he should ride a bike like he does in Earthbound. Actually, a car based on the Phase Distorter would be the best.

I think if such a racer existed, it might be an idea to downplay the idea of 'cars' and go with something a bit more clever. Like maybe righting animals, similar to the unreleased Donkey Kong Racing - at least where applicable. Cars, animals, etc...
Cuz I mean, I can't see Link in a car. Sorry, ain't happening. Even if it is a horrible perversion of Epona, my imagination doesn't go that far. It should be a game that has the most bizarre variety of racing vehicles, animals, floating stars, and so forth EVER. Just trying to comprehend it should cause heads to explode as a rule.
And instead of Master Hand.... Master Foot! It's so obvious, that like, someone should just punch Fryguy.

Why would you want to see a giant, gloved foot? Are you some kind of weirdo? PUNCH HIM! Not me!
I thought some characters could ride animals, etc... but cartoon racing games have, in the past, given cars to certain characters. I mean I'm all for seeing Mario on Yoshi, Link on Epona, etc... but what on Earth does Fox ride?

I agree with Masamune on this - put characters in a huge array of 'vehicles' - cars, ships, animals, etc, etc.
And yeah, Master Foot is painfully obvious.
