If Sakurai was to pick a lesser known Nintendo character from the black box NES games (i.e. Clu Clu Land, Mach Rider, Urban Champion, etc.) for Smash, who do you think it would be?
(Hopefully this time works)

Out of the ones mentioned in the question, Mach Rider as he wasn't called out on the Ice Climbers page

even though Sakurai talked about him during Smash 64's poll responses.
If he changed his mind, I could see Urban Champion or Bubbles eventually coming in as a surprise character. Excitebike Racer is a little less likely, but Bowser Jr. proved that the concept of a vehicle based moveset could work.
Nantendo also convinced me on D.K. JR's potential:

Ranking:
DK JR (if no new DK rep gets in)
Mach Rider
Urban Champion
DK Jr (if a DK rep gets in)
Bubbles
Excitebike Racer
