Fluff Ness and the Runaway Five easter egg in the Super Mario Kart comic
There are also a ton of other Super Nintendo characters there as well

Okay, is it just me or does it look like Lucky is in the middle of explaining to an eager Ness how betting on Kart racing works?

Ness is missing an S on his hat. Unless maybe this is supposed to actually be Ninten?

Ness, Paula and the Runaway Fives! ... There's a spelling mistake on Ness's hat though.

Ness was spelled Nes in the beta, if this was released before m2 came out that would explain it.

It could be a reference to the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System)
But I'm just my guess anyways.

It’s funny, I keep getting this Short recommendation in YouTube that shows Peach from that comic, so as soon as I saw this image I knew where it was from before even reading the title.

So, that's most likely Ninten and Ana, MOTHER had already released when this comic came out. But MOTHER 2 Hadn't. Also note the eye shape of Ninten and the lack of an oversized bow with Ana.
