So, what's the deal with Go Karting with Bowser?
It's all that crazy Mushroom Kingdom Royal Family politics, man. Truth is, Bowser's species came to Mario World millions of years ago on an asteroid named Bunuri, and they were the dominant species on the planet. But Mario World changed from a lizardy, cold-blooded place into the beautiful fungus-covered paradise it is today. The Koopas retreated beneath the surface, except for a few of their leaders, who interbred with humans in order to control the population.
These half-Koopa, half-mushroom people became the Royal Family, and continued to breed with the Koopa leaders until they all died out, because they were all intermarried with the Mushroom people. But something happened with the Koopas beneath the surface, and they became the violent, militaristic people they are today, and Bowser, the son of some nothing noble of a minor Koopa Kolony, overthrew his cousins' family and instated his own Military Junta, and proceeded to try to take the surface world.
The reason Bowser wants to kidnap Peach and Daisy, is because if he marries one of them, his children will be in line for the Mushroom Kingdom throne.
As to why it keeps happening, well, here's the thing... Bowser's got an inside man, who is part mushroom, part reptile. He's immensely trusted by the royals, and is such a deep cover agent that he plays himself as a huge coward and an idiot, in order to hide the fact that his allegiance is purely Koopa. But his name gives it all away: Why do you think he's called "Toad"?
The games are a test to see how far we can go before we lose it.
This explains why the cheating is so bad. Nintendo wants to see how far we can go before we lose our sanity due to cheating bastard AI. The game doesnt even try to hide it that well on some versions of mario kart. On 50 Cheating Capacity, your more likely to make it through the whole game. On 100CC, your gonna need antidepressants. on 150CC, if you get through this alive, you need a mental hospital. This also explains the rubberband AI and how the CP Us coordinate attacks on only you.
Dry Bones in Mario Kart DS is the Koopa from Super Mario Kart and Double Dash.
In between Double Dash and DS, he died and was reanimated as a Dry Bones. However, he still had a passion for kart racing, so he came back. The Koopa in Wii is his relative.
Rainbow Road is the cause of the Kart Races
Every few years, it pops up in the general vicinity of space in a new form. Whether its a sentient deity or the Mushroom Kingdom people just choose too, a Kart racing tournament is held in its honor, the last race taking place on the road itself.
Neo Bowser/Koopa City takes place in a Bad Future where Bowser succeeds in conquering the Mushroom Kingdom.
It could even be Mushroom City, renamed and rebuilt in Bowser's honor.
Mario Kart 7 will get Downloadable Content.
DLC for 3DS games has been confirmed as a feature.
Nintendo is aware of the many cries of Ruined Forever over the lack of some fan-favorite characters, possibly because they wanted to bring more attention to the four newcomers. DLC in the form of veteran racers remedies this. Don't think Nintendo forgot about those guys, either; they'll be playable in upcoming entries in the spin-off titles (Mario Party 9, Fortune Street).
Are you disappointed with the current roster? Were you clamoring to play as Waluigi, King Boo, and Dry Bones? There's still hope. As an added bonus, DLC for 3DS games will be free of charge. In the end, everyone wins.
After all, why have Waluigi Pinball if the purple guy himself can't race on his own track?
Metal Mario is Bowser's answer to Metal Sonic.
The entire Mario Kart franchise is an epilogue to the Super Mario series.
