This is an e-mail someone got from a Nintendo director in 2011. It may be old but I still think it's relevant.

"Hello Chris,
Waluigi's omission from Mario Kart 7 was a hard one for us here at Nintendo. It was due to the time constraints associated with the Christmas deadline for the game. Rest assured Waluigi will be making further appearances in the Mario series for at least the next few years. Also understand some characters, such as Waluigi, are more expendable then others and space was limited. The game needed Bowser, DK, Wario and it didnt need the few expendable characters that we here consider "cult classics". We needed a balance between new racers and our standards. Also, regarding Wario as an unlockable character for future games, that will not happen. This was a one-time instance to pay tribute to the SNES original and nothing more. Koopa Kid is retired.

Yasuyuki Oyagi"

This is Greedy Trickster dropping in on a year-old post to remind you all that the Bee Queen from Mario Galaxy made it in Mario Kart 7 before Waluigi did.

The whole reply was interesting like:
"The game needed Bowser, DK, Wario and it didnt need the few expendable characters that we here consider 'cult classics'. "
What did they really mean by that? They like characters who debuted on spinoffs like Waluigi and Toadette, but they were more concerned about the costumer's reaction?
But I'm actually more concerned about @blanche what happened to her?
