Author's Note: The idea for this comic was conceived when I used to play Mario Kart 7 like a professional gamer. The inspiration for the comic's title came from a Mario Kart comic found on Tumblr titled "64MARIO64KART", which was created by Tumblr user VG-Libary.
Mario Kart 7 was known for introducing underwater driving and hang-gliding, and was notorious for having Waluigi missing from the playable characters list.
Having a submarine with wheels firing turtle shells like torpedoes made sense when players can drive underwater in Mario Kart 7, and an actual submarine-based go-kart appeared in Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U.
With the introduction of hang-gliders as kart parts in Mario Kart 7, air combat in a Mario Kart game is now a reality, and this continued into Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
My theory on why Waluigi is missing from the final Mario Kart 7 playable character roster was because Ash Ketchum shot him out of the sky in an air-to-air hang-glider duel. As a result, Ash was banned from making cameo appearances in the Mario series altogether.
