Who should be playable in the next Mario Kart game?

I would also prefer a Super Smash Racing. A game where you can play Link, Mario, Kirby, Samus, and other Nintendo charicters racing in clasic/new game worlds. Hell, make the "story" (I so want a story for this) a spin-off of the Sonic All-Stars games (9which would give a great reason to add him in). Hell Mario, Kirby and C. Falcon have been in racing games and The F-zero are just Arwings, so that adds Star Fox.

And I'd love it if all the characters didn't drive karts. Like Link would ride Epona and Kirby would ride his star.
