Mario Kart characters that absolutely do not have a license

Go-Karts is a funny little diversion that is perfect for teaching the children their first loopholes: you can drive without a driver's license. The devil-May-care setting to road safety has also been transferred to the Mario Kart series, which allows many clearly unqualified individuals to go vroom.

But here's the thing. The time when you can reasonably suggest that Mario Kart Racers do not need licenses is long gone. Several courses, especially in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster course tracks, are now blasting through actual real places such as Singapore, New York, Paris, etc. So which of these characters are absolutely skirts to participate in what technically corresponds to illegal street racing?

Petey Piranha

• Plants are likely not eligible for a driver's license

• Petey is a threat

You don't really need this explained, right? Petey Piranha is a plant. There is no way that he could have a driver's license because who would give it to him? The question of sapient flora should be allowed the privilege of vehicle operations is another discussion completely, but the concept of civil rights in the sponge prystock is a whole can of worms on its own.

Apart from that, Petey has attacked Mario so many times that he has to be on a blacklist in the local DMV now. Unlike Bowser, he is not royalty, so he cannot use politically and monetary privilege to circumvent the rules and get a license anyway. There may also be some insider -Shenanigans in the game regarding the Piranha plant article.

The children

• Do not give a license to an infant

• These pacifiers are probably a suffocating danger

There is no universe where it is cool to give the children's driver's license. Hilarious, maybe, but never cool. Although it is reasonable to assume that all vague humanoid character can get one in the kingdom of the fungus, age must be a factor, and there are many factors in the Baby versions of Mario, Luigi, Daisy, Peach and Rosalina.

Of course, it can be difficult to measure someone's age in these games. Mario himself can be anything from the early 20th century to the end of the 40s, even by conservative estimates. But if you drive around with a diaper and pacifier, you are either in the low occasional digits or if you are a really passionate like a Drakefan.

• Questions about identity is recording

• Does Metal Mario exist when he removes the metal cap?

These are two characters, but the same rules apply to both. Here things can get a little confused. Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach are humanoid and capable of speaking, and if you have ever experienced driving through regular traffic, it sometimes seems that it is all that is needed to get a license. But there is more for this. These two are mainly dipelgers of very real characters Mario and Peach.

Mario and Peach definitely have their own licenses, and their metal/pink/gold variants are just that, variants. It is not to mention how they even became. Mario becomes metal Mario when you put on the metal cap. Does this mean that the character is the hat itself, or is Metal Mario's existence entirely entirely on its vicinity to Mario? Does the license go to the lid? Honestly, the License Agency would probably just refuse to care about it.

Donkey

• Has no license

• Don't want a license

To get the obvious thing out of the way, Donkey Kong would not have a license, but not because he is a monkey. The sensitive creatures of the mushroom pest include bugs, toads, and whatever Lakitu is among other creatures, so giving a state -issued ID to someone like DK would only be another day in the office.

But Donkey Kong simply wouldn't get one. He only participates in society on his own terms. Most of his time is spent cold in his tree house, just to show up when someone moves with their bananas. He participates in Mario Kart excursions, but would rather not put himself on any government register to do so. This applies twice on his new design on Switch 2. Look at these eyes. There is chaos within.

Dry arches

• Does he even live?

• Perhaps spent a year dead for tax reasons

Like the case of Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach, an argument can be made that Dry Bowser is simply another form of Bowser. This is how he looks after being thrown into Lava, and you would be hard pressed to convince an arrest officer that this guy matches the picture on the license that Bowser himself definitely has.

It also questions how he became so. Isn't Dry Bowser technically no longer alive? Spending a year can be a popular tax dodge in some regions, but there is no way that it would be as simple as showing up all the equal and trying to claim your identity back. The same discussion also applies to dry legs, but it is more nuanced because it is only that character's standard look.

3

Diddy Kong

• For row

• He has been driving so long without one, so why care?

Like Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong's species has nothing to do with his eligibility. The real reason why he would not have a license is that he is a child. Maybe older than the babies, but you can't reasonably claim that he is even in the APA counterpart to his teens.

Diddy just wouldn't get one if he could. Look at Diddy Kong Racing. He is already an old professional when driving and has not needed one yet. He is too knowledgeable and cool to worry about it. But among the different Simian characters in Mario Kart, only Funky Kong would have a license. After all, he must pick you up from the airport.

Ink

• They are children now

• Coppolis streets gave a healthy suspicion of authority

The inlets are unequivocally children, and they lost all hope of trying to go away like everything else from the beginning. It's right there in the song from the first Splatoon advertising. They explained to the world that even though they are octopus now, they are also certainly children now.

However, it is ok. Inclings are cunning and quite skilled at escaping hairy situations after growing up on the streets of Coppolis. So if they are pulled over, it would be an easy task to shoot some ink and go octopus mode to roam. You know that these children are experienced veterans to shake the police.

Coopalings

• You know they grew up the Fighting Authority

• They don't have Bowser Jr.'s gap

No matter which of Bowser's children you play, you can't escape the fact that they are just: children. No license allowed. But it's not like they are not used to skirts about the law. Bowser sends them regularly on their own to fight his bow nemesis for him. If they have avoided child protection services for so long, they can do the same for traffic police.

It is important that this does not apply to Bowser Jr. He is a nepotism baby. He cannot legally have a license, but anyone who tries to execute it is too scared of Bowser to execute it. So he has effectively one. But Bowser's favoriteism for him does not extend to the rest of the coopalings, so they have to take care of themselves.
