    You know how in SSBB, there's a Mario Circuit course where the people are fighting at an intersection? I was thinking that it could have been really cool if they put these fighters into the newest iteration of the Mario Circuit. You could run over Kirby, but watch out for that Falcon Kick!!!! Oh no, you're off the road now. Better luck next time.

    But the characters belong to Nintendo anyway, except for Snake and Sonic of course.

    And i think it would've been awesome to have a course like that, well maybe they'll do it in the next F-Zero :P

    Good Question, It would be cool.....
     
    But then I would also ask why we havent seen Samus/Fox/Link or any of the other major SSB characters as playable characters in a Mario Kart game. 
    Iim guessing that by way of it being "Mario Kart" it automatically excludes any non-Mario IPs.

    I think Mario Kart should introduce all the SSB characters as drivers.  Seriously who really wants to use Daisy?  Also a unique level that was SSB inspired would be kind of cool... although I could see it being very hard to do proper.

    SSB is an amalgamation of all Nintendo properties.  Aside from Donkey Kong's characters, Mario Kart stays within the realm of the Mushrrom Kingdom (i.e. Mario & friends).

    Dude yeah, heck Falcon already has a vehicle!  That would be awesome and it'd be a great way to freshen up the game a bit.  I would be genuinely interested in a Super Kart Bros game.
