I posted the current roster on my first comment, just so people know the roster.
I hate to break it to you, ByoT...someone else already got rid of Birdo. (They replaced Birdo with Pauline)
You can replace Pauline with ByoT if you want.

Toadette's already in the game.

no, I meant I only want nintendo characters, but only official ones. (AKA no fan-made stuff)

what do you mean fine?

if you remove daisy, who will you add?

LOOK AT THIS BEFORE YOU REPLY
So here's a game, I guess.
You take the character roster of Mario Kart PC. You get to add 1 character, but you also have to remove 1. We'll start a chain or something like that and see what our roster has become.
I'll start.
I'll remove Bowser Jr and replace him with Paratroopa.
If you want to see the roster so far, it will be posted below and frequently updated.

3 Blue shells would be terrible, broken, unfun, etc.
Having the Fireball AND Green Fireball would be redundant.

No, I'm talking to sonic2020. He was "extending" his list, probably without your permission.

Why the heck are you extending someone else's list?
You don't have the right to say those are his 9th and 10th favorites.
Because they probably aren't.

Mario Sports Mix and Mario Super Sluggers.

Actually, after doing some reasearch, Rock Rock Mountain had actually appeared in the most tours of any course for a while, and presumably, it didn't show up for 13 tours (August2021-Feburary2022) so that it didn't seem like they were favoring it. At the time of the Frost Tour (the second to last tour to feature it as of writing this), it had been used in 16 tours!
Now, the most used courses are Yoshi Circuit and Waluigi Pinball, and considering that in a 5 Tour span (Sky-Amsterdam), Yoshi Circuit was in 4 of them...
I think we can be saying sayonara to Yoshi Circuit for a while.
They're not playing favorites, they're trying to make sure some tracks aren't overused! (Though Sunset Wilds R/T HAS appeared in just as many tours as the other variants, so I donno how they f*cked that up)

Cortex Castle from Crash Team Racing.
While probably not the best track in CTR, it's definitely my favorite.
Though I can also say that for a good majority of the tracks in CTR. CTR is just really fun to play.

People here seem to be making their retro track lists with the idea that Nintendo's going to re-use tracks they've already made retros out of. Considering the only courses they've done that to before are all in DLCs, I think it's safe to say the next mainline Mario Kart is NOT gonna be like that in its base game retros.
I'll list what I think is the best idea for the MK9 Retros, and I'll explain some of my odder choices in a paragraph below those.

Shell Cup
DS Figure-8 Circuit
SNES Donut Plains 2
WiiU Shy Guy Falls
Wii Toad's Factory

Banana Cup
WiiU Hyrule Circuit
GBA Boo Lake
3DS Wario Shipyard/Galleon
DS Shroom Ridge

Leaf Cup
3DS Mario Circuit
GCN Mushroom City
Wii Dry Dry Ruins
N64 Wario Stadium

Lightning Cup
SNES Mario Circuit 4
WiiU Cloudtop Cruise
GCN Bowser's Castle
GBA Rainbow Road

Now for some explaining:
-SNES DP2 could easily be replaced by either VL1, GV1, or maybe even KB1, but personally, I think DP2 just has a more unique and interesting course layout. ...even if they just used DP3 in MK8.
-Similarly, Boo Lake could be replaced by Riverside Park, and...that's about it. None of the other GBA tracks (that haven't been remade yet) are easy enough for them to be used in the Banana Cup.
-Shy Guy Falls could probably be replaced by Twisted Mansion if Boo Lake isn't used.
-Hyrule Circuit realistically isn't going to be reused, so instead that slot could be filled by Mario Circuit or Thwomp Ruins.
-N64 Wario Stadium has to either be the end of the Leaf Cup or the first course of the Lightning Cup. Its length warrants it being cup down to 2 Laps like Wario Colosseum, and it'd work best as a finale course to the Leaf Cup. If you put it in the Banana Cup clearly you're not thinking straight.
-SNES MC4 is at the start of the Lightning Cup because MC3 was too in Wii.
-Before you say anything about Wario's Shipyard being in the cup before Mario Circuit, let me remind you that "Being placed in the same order as their OG games had them" is NOT a rule. I can think of 5 different scenarios where Nintendo has put courses out of order, and 3 of those scenarios are from Wii. 3DS Mario Circuit works better as an opening course for a cup anyways.

And if you're wondering what I'd say for Battle Courses, well, I think one from each game is a bit...excessive. At most it'd probably be 6 battle courses, and the best options probably are:
SNES Battle Course 2 (or 3)
N64 Double Deck
GBA Battle Course 4 (or 2)
Wii Block Plaza (or Funky Stadium)
3DS Honeybee Hive
NX (or NS) Dragon Palace

-SNES Battle Course 2 is using the Koopa Beach theme, so they could easily use the Underwater mechanic.
-All 3 of the remaining GCN Courses are too small to work in some battle modes, like Renegade Round-Up. Same thing for the DS Battle Courses.
-Dragon Palace is probably the best choice of the 8 Deluxe Battle Courses. Sweet Sweet Kingdom is not fun, and Lunar Colony has too bland of a layout for my liking. Debatably Battle Stadium might be a better choice, however.

And that's it. I can't wait for several 10-14 year olds to criticize my choices because they aren't the same as theirs!

All 1 of them? Because Cloud is the only one from Final Fantasy. Do you mean the Fire Emblem characters? (Marth, Ike, Roy, Lucina, Chrom, Corrin, Robin, and Byleth)

What character would you say you play the least in Smash?

Mario Kart PC, obviously.
If you mean platformers, I'd say Super Mario 64: Last Impact.
