It would make me so happy if Lookalike Waluigi became the assist trophy and the REAL Waluigi became an actual playable fighter. I think I'd cry of joy.
Identical designs or voices don't matter. Storywise and semi-character wise, they are separate characters. Also, Baby Bowser sometimes wears a plain white bib. This is like saying the "Koopa Kid/Baby Bowser" character from the Mario Party series is practically the same character as Baby Bowser...
I'm surprised Baby Bowser hasn't made an appearance in the Mario Kart series yet. He is among the most iconic of the baby characters and is an actual character like Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. It might be his visual similarity to Bowser Jr. but I still find it interesting how they haven't used...
All completely filler characters (Pink Gold Peach, Rando Humans, Baby Daisy/Rosalina, etc.) [For pretty obvious reasons], King Olly [His backstory is stupid ah and he's an edge lord with no redeeming qualities], The Koopalings [Overused and boring], and Amayzee Dayzee [THEY ALWAYS RUN AWAY...
I'd say it should be fully identical to a normal Item Box. (even on the map) I mean a random box out in the open that looks identical is more convincing than one that has an upside down question mark out in the open. Then you could also place it among real item boxes to fool other players...
It could be a Smash Ultimate situation where they've been developing the game in secret for longer than we thought. So if Nintendo did with this what they did with Ultimate, they could've started working on 9 after the release of 8 Deluxe. So they could've started development in 2018 for what we...
I mean Nintendo has probably been working on this game for much longer than we think (probably since 2016 or 2017) so they might already have a lot of the kinks worked out. Also the Switch 2 is probably going to be much more powerful than Switch 1, so it might not be as bad. Finally, if Nintendo...
Anything would be good as long as it's not Illumination Minion. And given Nintendo's future collaborations with Illumination and how they made DK look like the movie DK, it's definitely possible, unfortunately. My guesses for the next filler characters (not already showcased) are Purple Platinum...
Potentially hot take but I hope MK9 removes gliding, anti-gravity, kart customization, and the coin mechanic (and item). I like anti-gravity but it's time for a new gimmick. Additionally, I don't hate gliding but it doesn't add anything to the formula in my opinion and is low-key kinda boring...
I should have explained my position better but like Waluigi Time pointed out, the first 4 Mario & Luigi games have some consistent continuity between them. Yes, Luigi does go back to being cowardly in PIT but the hypnosis Luigi goes through was evidently not permanent as there are moments later...
Copying this from a thread I created: The real reason Paper Jam sucks isn't because of the Luigi hate or the flanderization of Starlow but because the game completely forgets all prior character growth from the previous games. For example, at the end of Dream Team, Luigi has become so confident...
