I want them to change it to where all duplicates are in submenus for their original characters (except the babies, as they coexist I'm the same universe in he same game as their originals) in future dlcs/updates. That way they could add more duplicates and original characters.some cool returns would be Wiggler, Queen Bee, Boo, Kirby, ROB, Birdo, and Ness.

I could see them bring Ness into the Mario Kart franchise and maybe debuting an Earthbound track. Definitely not for 8 but maybe in a game down the road.
That said, they'd probably have to release another Earthbound game which I'm not sure they'll do any time soon.
If this does NOT RETURN in the next DLC i'll be very disappointed.
And if Nintendo announces 2 new DLC packs, I know exactly what they will be!
DLC #3: Star Fox X Mario Kart 8:
Characters: Fox, Falco, Captain Toad (I know, another clone. But Nintendo just has to) Karts: Star Fox related Kart, Nintendo related Kart, 9Cart (Mine Cart for Captain Toad) Shooting Star (Mario's unlockable Kart in MKDS)
Courses: Lylat Cup: Wii DK Summit, Onnet, New Course, Star Fox related course Boomerang Cup: GCN Wario Colosseum (Auto-anti gravity for this course, Nintendo just doesn't see it) SNES Vanilla Lake 1 (This and Bowser's Castle are the only courses yet to return as a retro course, although in super circuit the Bowser's Castle courses were remade from SNES. So I guess it makes sense why the SNES won't return) New Course, Pikmin related course.
DLC #4: Kirby X Mario Kart 8:
Characters: Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight or Birdo Karts: Kirby related Kart, Nintendo related Kart, New Kart, Imported MKDS Kart
Courses: Kirby Star Cup: 3DS Rosalina's Ice World, GBA Ribbon Road, New Course, Kirby related Course Double Cherry Cup: DS Airship Fortress, Fire Emblem related course, New Course, Nintendo related course
Phew, done. What did you think of my prediction?
I also want Neo Bowser City which is likely to appear because (Duh) Dry Bowser. I wouldn't mind Waluigi Pinball either. And if no Cheese Land, maybe Ribbon Road.
Since we seen 2 pics of Dry Bowser on a bike, why not a bike of his own called the "Bad to the bone bike"
Of course, there's likely to be an Animal Crossing Kart. How about Gracie's car from GC? Called "Kart of Fashion"
And because the B Dasher returned, and the Egg 1 in MK7. I'd say there's a great chance for that kart to come back. B Dasher returned in the first DLC Pack, then the Egg 1 will return in the 2nd.
It would be so peculiar if the Egg 1 was revealed before, or on, or after Easter. Well, its an egg kart so why not?

I'm definitely digging the idea of a cheese land track more and more now.
I like some of your ideas and they probably will go to franchises outside the main characters more and more. Not sure if they would incorporate Pikmin or Fire Emblem this early though.
Idk if they'll add Neo Bowsert City since it just came out on 3DS but I do think you could do a lot with the anti-gravity on that stage. I wish they hadn't put in that terrible re-creation of Toad's Turnpike and went with Neo Bowser City or the city level from Double Dash instead.

I don't think they would really need to release a new game to have Ness appear. Whilst he wasn't as much of a main part of the MK8 DLC as Link, Captain Falcon has pretty much gotten into it with Mute City, his car and the Captain Falvon Mii outfit.
It's not exactly the same thing but I could still totally see them throwing Ness into the next MK game without actually releasing a new Earthbound game.

That's the thing that bugs me about Nintendo and how they treat their franchises sometimes. They take a character like Ness, who last had a game (which was highly praised) on SNES, and put in him the ORIGINAL Smash Bros.
Almost 16 years later and we still haven't had another entry into the Mother series. WTF!?!
They've done it with a lot of their other characters too. It just gets annoying after a while and feels like they are leaving a lot of money on the table in many cases.

The rest of the Mother series isn't though. Isn't Earthbound the second game in the series? I dunno, I've not played them but if it is, I dunno why the first game isn't there.
It's a shame they never physically released it in some form though. I like physical releases.

Yup Earthbound is Mother 2 for Japan, Mother (1 also known as Earthbound Zero) was the first installment released for the Famicom. It was planned for a overseas release (The game even was registered for Europe at a point) and the game was also fully translated, censored and localised for a overseas release but was cancelled due to the cost of the special chip and cardgridge that was needed to store the game on. It would cost even more than the NES console itself! (Similar on how the GameCube is capable of rendering 3D games but was too expensive to implement.)
It appears that some guy managed to obtain the prototype American cardgridge from Nintendo and there is a ROM to be found of it on internet. Some dialogue has changed and blood is mostly censored, some parts of the game were made easier, there even are some additional functions and abilities in the prototype such as running which isn't even found in the sequel Earthbound.

Also, i do not mind that Earthbound wasn't released in Europe, my ultra addicted uncle has like everything! Earthbound too, he even got 3 copies sealed! He managed to snag some sealed Mario RPG games too (Which also never was released in Europe) oh and by the way, those Earthbound cards actually DO stink, like holy moly it's disgusting...
I loved Paratroopa on Double Dash so much. The triple red shell special was glorious in that game. Without that I'm not sure if I would use him much again. Not a bad option though.
I think eventually we will see a Captain Toad in the game. Probably not until 9 or 10 but they seem to be using that character more and more.
