We got the Moo Moo Meadows Cow. Fish Bones has somehow made the cut. Tuxie, the penguin from Mario 64, is a racer in Mario Kart World. Yes, I can’t deny that I’m excited as all hell to rip up the tracks as the Cow from world-famous “Moo Moo Meadows”. But where’s Professor E. Gadd during all of this? You’re putting Luigi’s Mansion on the GameCube Classics menu, so you know he exists. But why isn’t this elderly inventor available as a racer in Mario Kart World? Prove his existence in the game, and my soul is yours, Nintendo.

‘Everybody Is Here!’ Kind of Reveal, but Maybe E. Gadd Is Hiding in the Shadows of ‘Mario Kart World’

Look, I already know that I’m going to main the Moo Moo Meadows Cow in Mario Kart World. I hope his name is Boris or something like that. But the disrespect that is continuously put on E. Gadd’s name is baffling. People love that little freak, myself included. He exudes pure Goblin energy in the greatest of ways, and I would be lying if “EEEE HABBO HABBO” wasn’t part of my daily vernacular. But we have Mario creatures that don’t even have hands behind the wheel in Mario Kart World. How are they STEERING? Heh. Steer-ing. Funny.

But, seriously. While E. Gadd hasn’t been announced or shown in Mario Kart World just yet, I can only hold on to hope that he made it. He deserves it. After spending so much time with Luigi, he deserves a break. What better way than to bash his brains in with a shell? That seems like the perfect way to relieve some stress. During the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, there was a quick shot of the character select screen. With a total of four pages, there are more characters here than ever before. And I’m hoping E. Gadd is chilling in the back of the pack.

Please. We got Sombrero Waluigi this time around. We just need our boy E. Gadd here this time around for this to be the greatest Mario Kart World game ever. I mean, we already know it’s likely going to be, but it’ll be even better with this dude’s inclusion.
