Poll: Which new Mario Kart World character is your favorite?

It's been a few days now since Mario Kart World's launch, so it should have been more than enough time to declare some loyalties for the new batch of characters and pick out which is your favorite, right? Now I can already see where this is probably going to go. I'm expecting the Cow army to stampede in from Moo Moo Meadows and completely dominate the poll, which is why I have decided to allow multiple choice this time around so we can get an idea of at least who will come in second place. There are over 24 new characters to find and unlock, with most of the new ones being tied to the new Kamek in-game item, which turns you into a random NPC when used. If used in the correct place, you can unlock the character to use permanently later down the line as well. For me, it's great to see Hammer Bros. as a playable character finally, and it feels like this one was a long time coming. Spike, I know, is a fan-favorite character people have wanted to play for ages in Mario Kart as well, so I'm sure he will get a lot of love either in the poll or the comments below. Loads of my friends have been hyped to try and unlock him as quickly as possible. Nabbit also strangely makes its Mario Kart debut and has been one of the standout new Mario characters to get a lot of love, even being a playable character in Super Mario Wonder recently. I am super curious, though, to hear some of your favorites, so if you clicked on the poll to vote above, be sure to leave a comment down below to explain some of your picks, especially if it's some of the weirder characters like Fish Bone, Snowman, etc. What made them stand out to you?
