Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

I think that it would be a bad idea for Nintendo to turn Mario Kart into Nintendo Kart. I don't really mind the crossover elements that are already in 8/8 deluxe (except the Mercedez-Benz karts*), and I don't mind other big crossover series existing/being created, but Mario Karts identity and tone is deeply rooted in the Mario Franchise.

*I don't particularly dislike Mercedez-Benz cars, I just think they don't fit in the game.
 
I do love Mercedes Benz cars (and SUVs!) but they feel kind of wrong in Mario Kart

GIUUHHHH, HOW CANUNOT LIKE MORE SOMETHING SO ICONEHC IN ME CHILDHUHD?

For me Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins is the best 2D Mario platformer I've played because the levels are a lot more consistently original than most other 2D Mario platformers.
 
I think it's ok for Mario Kart to have select other-franchise characters, but more than like 7 or 8 would dilute the roster

As a car enthusiast (kind of) I think it would be awesome to see other car brands in Mario Kart, like Ferrari and Porsche. Nintendo's been shoving 8 Deluxe full of tracks and characters, which is good, but what about more karts and kart parts??
 
You know, it's been a long fantasy of mine to get licensed cars in Mario Kart, something I thought would never happen, but here we are with the GLA, 300 SL, and Silver Arrow. Finally Mario Kart gets to have something in common with Forza! Though it's very weird that the GLA out of all things gets to be repped in Mario Kart, you'd think they'd go with like, a Nissan Fairlady or Toyota Supra or something sportier you know but I'm not complaining. Their parts are the best in the game, and I love pairing the GLA with Monster tires because of how ridiculous it looks.

World and SMB3, I'd honestly rather play the modern entries over them. I also think World's map design isn't even all that good, it's still mostly a linear track with some branching paths.
