Not that surprising, considering the Reznor enemy from SMW is named after NIN's frontman.

Nobody apparently. The person who named the Koopalings during localization said in an interview that Larry is not an homage to anyone, just that he "looked like a Larry."

I use Lemmy in pretty much any game he's playable in.

Really hope Bowser Jr. doesn't suck so bad in the next Smash Bros. though.

Lemmy was always my favorite. I'm always disappointed by games where he's the first one you have to fight. He deserves better.

He's basically the worst character in Mario Kart. I was hoping he'd be better.

No.

In Deluxe it's either Metal Mario/Peach (the most points), Wario tier (fastest, but not as good as metals), or cat peach/villager girl (best acceleration without sacrificing too much speed).

Waluigi has the speed of Wario but better handling.

I always assumed that Ozzie, Slash and Flea from Chrono Trigger were named after Ozzy Osbourne, Slash from Guns 'n Roses, and Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers. Which made their soulless ye-olde-Englishy retranslated dialogue in the DS version all the more disappointing.

What? He's in the lightest weight class there is, so I just tune his car to have his acceleration and handling nearly maxed out. He's basically untouchable on courses that have a lot of turns (ie, most courses).

Best car is always biddybuggy/roller/couds.

He's right below Wario.
