Ok. Queen Bee has not been the only one that was a Minor character in one game and has been playable. Remember Peaty Piranha. Only a Boss in two levels and made it into Mario Kart Double Dash and ended up in more games. Remember R.O.B getting into MKDS and Remember Dry Bowser getting into MKW who you only saw for 20 seconds of NSMB. Queen Bee is just like that. So don't start ranting when you see Pom Pom get into Mario Kart Wii U instead of Dixie Kong.
 
I talked about some characters I wanted in this game in my Should Have Been this month. I think Kamek and Hammer Bro. are way overdue an introduction to the Mario Kart series.
 
Petey's big head can be a major nuisance, which is likely the reason for why he's been demoted to being a mere stage element.
 
I don´t want to annoy anyone, but nobody answered my question and I would want to know: was that letter/email from Nintendo about the Waluigi topic for real? Can anybody confirm it?

I´ll copy and paste it:

Hello Chris,
Waluigi's omission from Mario Kart 7 was a hard one for us here at Nintendo. It was due to the time constraints associated with the Christmas deadline for the game. Rest assured Waluigi will be making further appearances in the Mario series for at least the next few years. Also understand some characters, such as Waluigi, are more expendable then others and space was limited. The game needed Bowser, DK, Wario and it didnt need the few expendable characters that we here consider "cult classics". We needed a balance between new racers and our standards. Also, regarding Wario as an unlockable character for future games, that will not happen. This was a one-time instance to pay tribute to the SNES original and nothing more. Koopa Kid is retired.

I´ve read the entire thread and while it is assumed, it is not confirmed if this is real. Is it?
