Well have nintendo forgotten about the following..
1.) Super Mario Sunshine - Quick answer, NO. They simply refuse to use the idea of sunshine. In Mario Kart Piantas have pretty much become a staple as viewers of the race (i forgot what they are called, my brain is messed up). But then again piantas are not the only thing of SMS, although others and i belive so.
2.) Isle Delfino - I think Nintendo forgot how isle delfino looks, because Delfino Square and Pier look NOTHING like sunshine. Well maybe its because of the roof and stuff but, in real it doesnt. Maybe if they make a new sunshine they will just add these locations and give some cheesy excuse of the pianta but... Coconut mall seems more delfino-like so im guessing no...
3.) Weegee's Mansion Ghosts - In Mario Kart 7 when they re-created Luigi's Mansion all the portrait ghost were replaced with Boos... And on Luigi's Mansion 2, there are only 2 types of ghost and a third type which is a boss..... So.. im not sure on this one.
Simple answer to all.. Nintendo knows but they simply REFUSE to use these elements.
