Besides that OB1, training is the cure-all in Japan for new abilities! Seriously, the only excuse they need to make any character super fast is that they TRAINED in 100 times gravity or something, and Japanese people will eat it up as perfectly natural!
However, WHO CARES?! Mario Kart doesn't even make sense within the context of the Mario universe! There's NO reason Mario and Bowser would just race without Bowser suddenly getting OUT of his kart and trying to KILL Mario and kidnap the princess in the main story (did I just refer to the "main story" of Mario? Dear Alvis that's messed up.) Most of the racers in the game have no real motivation for being like that, and turtle shells NEVER had homing abilities before, nor was there EVER a lightning strike that shrunk you, and mushrooms never gave Mario a speed boost! You see OB1? You are being a moron here and exemplifying total lack of any sort of desire for CHANGE. Even GR is shocked you are arguing against how cool it would be to race on a broomstick or Kazooie. Who cares if Kazooie is moderatly slow? Unless her TRADEMARK is being a slow character, it doesn't screw up JACK. Just LOVE it like you KNOW you want to, deep down, but keep bottled up.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
