New tier list idea
Not counting Link, Villager, Isabelle, Pac-Man, R.O.B., or any of the Mario universe characters (Except King K. Rool and Piranha Plant since they’re the only ones who have never been playable in Mario Kart before. Yes, Dr. Mario has shown up in both Tour and Home Circuit), who would be the most willing to participate if the next Smash game was a racing games akin to Mario Kart, and who would be like “Alright I’m out.”?
I admit that for some of them idk if they drive/ride anything but I did try to at least look into racing minigames/spinoffs.
Technicality inclusion tier explanations:
Young Link, Sora, and Cloud all have racing minigames they can participate in.
A R.O.B. was in Mario Kart DS, though not the Master R.O.B. that we know in Smash, hence his placement in the "technicality" tier rather than the "already been in a racing game before" tier.
SF64!Fox and Falco can optionally become racers in G-Zero Racing as an ending in Star Fox Command, so while not a racing game or minigame they do become professional racers. SF0!Fox and Falco are in a similar boat as R.O.B., in which any inclusion is because of another version of the characters being included.
Does the Lightning Chariot battle count as a racing minigame?
With the release of a certain game a couple months back I've chosen to make a minor change: R.O.B. is now in the vehicle tier??
