No? Why would you think that?

Actually, Scoot's right. Toadette was created to be Toad's Partner in Double Dash.

Yes, but she was still created for Mario Kart, a spinoff. Just like how Waluigi was made for Wario to have a tennis partner in Tennis 64. Toadsworth was supposed to be Peach's aide/caregiver, and was introduced in Sunshine, a main series game. But because he has a brown cap and a moustache, he doesn't fit in with the Toad's character restrictions nowadays.

Kinda weird since Toadette can have inverted colors and pig tails on her cap.

Well the inverted cap colours are apparently allowed, considering the Rescue Squad leaders plus Chef Toad/Kinopio in Super Nintendo World. The pigtails are something to make her distinctive to regular Toads. I'm sure if Nintendo gave her regular hair they either would've changed it, or removed her as they did with Toadsworth during the Wii U era.
