If you read my post (the long one, in particular), did I say she couldn't?
No, I said that there are some issues. I also said that while games admittedly do very often ignore the rules previous games in a series set down, it's best when they stick to them as much as possible. Kazooie, you must admit, does not control like a plane in B-K.
And as I said you could change that so that she does, but it still leaves you with issues about how you explain it... because I'm not satisfied with "It Just Is" anymore. That was okay back when Zelda 2 came out, but these days they should at least make an attempt...
For instance, they should make it more clear why after every game Mega Man loses his stuff. Do they disarm him after each mission in the hopes that he won't have to do it again? That's silly. X has such a ... um, intricate... storyline but this is dropped... at least Metroid Prime explained it! :)
It would just be annoying in a way if for no apparent reason Kazooie suddenly controlled completely differently. You do need to look at how she controls in the platformers... and if as I (and OB1) said that does not work for a racing game you should try for something better than 'It Just Is'. Though I don't think there IS any better way to change such a thing, unfortunately...
