May I ask where your proof is that they have a shot?
If it exists in the Mario universe, it has a shot. Hell, recent DLC additions show that anything in the Nintendo universe has a shot (as much as it makes me cringe)
Want more proof? OK. King Goomba (who debuted in an RPG) was a boss in Mario Kart DS. Oh, and Baby Peach... um, yeah. If you really want to count her, she debuted in Partners in Time. It's not out of the question, especially if they're versions of mainline characters (A trait Baby Peach shares with the characters I mentioned a few posts up)
So basically you're using the law of probability, where there is a chance that something could happen. The law also states that there is a (very slim) chance that I could be launched into space in 5 minutes, or that when you open your dryer that the clothes will be folded from the tumble.
King Goomba was not pulled from Paper Mario though; Goomboss was pulled from Super Mario 64 DS. I mean, King Goomba is basically Goomboss, but MKDS pulled Goomboss from the Platformer game rather than the RPG character.
Baby Peach was also pulled from the Yoshi's Island DS game. Partners in Time obviously used Baby Peach first, but she wasn't implimented into Mario Kart until after she was a playable character in Yoshi's Island. And this argument is not that strong since I'm sure that they would have made Baby Peach - whether or not she debutted in a rpg, a platformer, the yoshi game, etc. - just like how both Baby Daisy and Baby Rosalina were brought into Mario Kart as their debut.
And we have gone through how many games without even a single hint to any RPG characters being playable? I would like to know why Nintendo should add an RPG character, other than the fact that "it would celebrate the different spin-offs of the Mario series" or "I don't like generic characters". The next playable characters that they are going to add are probably going to be Bowser enemies, skins of the main Mario characters, characters that they create for the game, and major characters from the mainstream series. So basically just look at the roster for Mario Super Sluggers, and we'll probably see characters added from there in the next few Mario Kart games (plus characters like Luma and Nabbit and other post-MSS characters).
Like, I can just list 10 characters that would most likely get in before any of the RPG characters you want: Goomba, Hammer Bro, Magikoopa, Boo, Blooper, Luma, Nabbit, Dixie Kong, Pianta, Noki. And then characters that were in MK before and would probably return eventually, like Petey Piranha, King Boo, Birdo, Diddy Kong, Bowser Jr, Wiggler, Dry Bowser, and even Honey Queen. That is 18 characters right there, and that's just off to the top of my head. And that's not even including if they plan to ever bring non-Mario characters back in Mario Kart.
I mean, if an RPG isn't even added in the biggest roster of any of Mario game ever, then what chance does it have to be in a Mario Kart game? At least the characters I brought up have actually been playable characters before in a Mario game.
didn't even exist prior to their Mario Kart debuts. Just to show you that made-up characters have more of a chance than those stinking RPG characters.
