Though I'm totally with the people wanting Goombah. He's been around since day one, and this honey queen bitch comes in and steals his thunder. I call shenanigans.

Wiggler and Honey Queen playable in Mario Kart 7
Nintendo has revealed two new playable racers in Mario Kart 7 -- Wiggler and Honey Queen. If you were able to guess any of those ahead of time, you must be some sort of X-Man. Wiggler is that really annoying caterpillar who has been stumping Mario in a range of 2D and 3D games since Super Mario World on the SNES. Honey Queen is a bit less renowned, having only appeared in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel so far. This rounds up the new characters to four so far, with Metal Mario and Lakitu having previously been announced. It's a weird pair of characters to include, but I can dig it! Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Weird additions, but hell, they're interesting at least. I just hope they're different enough to stand out. You know what... Nintendo is one of the few Companies yet to buy into this whole Paid DLC thing...
I think I may gather some money for this. They need to add in more characters and obscure ones will have to do I guess, Wiggler however has been around a long time and would be a cool addition. I'm ok with Wiggler, but where's my Goomba? And don't give me that "they don't have arms, so they can't drive" nonsense! It didn't stop them from playing baseball! I mean, this isn't too big of a shock considering that it's the SEVENTH iteration of the series. Not that's it's an awful thing either. MK is one of the few Nintendo franchises that I can stand anymore.
