The year 2022 promises a lot for Nintendo fans. We obviously think of Kirby and Forgotten World, recently unveiled, but Mario Kart 9 in particular. Because a recent rumor speaks of the existence of a sequel to Mario 8 Kart Deluxe, whose excellent sales, years after its release, force respect. Suffice it to say that the ninth episode is amazing! It is especially at the roster level that the game should stand out. Because Mario Kart 8 Deluxe already offers a good selection. And following our essential name suggestions for Mario Kart 9, new leaks. A leaker aired by ScreenRant talks about possible additions to this new title from the franchise.

New Mario Kart 9 characters revealed in this leak

We say it right away: this rumor is to be taken with a grain of salt! ScreenRant, often a solid source, relays the information but nothing confirms its veracity. In a brief lesson, a leaker named Zippo talks about the characters coming to Mario Kart 9. The latter talks about more crossovers than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the big names to expect. We are talking about the faces of Pikmin, Star Fox and ARMS License., According to the leaker, the single-player mode will be expanded and additional optional costumes will be offered. Suffice it to say that with these characters on the roster, fans of the karting franchise have reason to be excited at the idea of ​​a new episode.

Among these characters mentioned by the leaker, One can easily visualize the karts that match, Vehicles inspired by Arwing or Landmaster for Star Fox. Pikmin takes advantage of the original spacecraft that must be repaired thanks to tiny creatures. On the ARMS side, it’s a bit more complicated to imagine what elements of the game could be used to design a kart. Nintendo could opt for a similar concept to an amiibo with a Mii driver in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. We understand the Japanese giant’s desire to take advantage of this with the 9th episode: a hugely successful game.
