Then they can be their partners in platformers, in this thinking. Their major issue is their background isn't bound to a spinoff situation, unlike Gene or Azalea. Rosalina is an opossite example, she still has no clear role (not being someone's partner, oh, Luma?) in current big titles even...

Toads have been NPCs for many times in this series, it's a big pity but not a surprise. But still, the golf/tennis rosters have been bad not just because toads are not here.

Sorry, what did you say? I think it's pretty clear that it's the capacity of WiiU which allows all Koopalings to be in Kart 8, so we shouldn't confuse it with handhelds. You may either ask them to appear individually, or just wait for the next generation of handheld.

3DLand series is still an indepedent title so far. It doesn't seem like a feasible topic. You might have to wait for the next 3D game to determine whether this issue exists.

Maybe. But judging from the confirmed roster so far, it's a very disappointing roster. Many of the characters have appeared in Tennis Open and those who were absent last time still aren't confirmed yet. As usual, I guess there could be some unlockable newcomers. I personally really want to see...

One thing I'm concerned about PacMan is his several redesigns in both appearance and story canon. Especially in KartGPDX we can see he's using the newest appearance from recent TV show, while some old characters like his wife(?) don't seem to be in any newer PacMan creations. In some aspects...

Honestly, I don't think Mickey Mouse can't enter this game. Even if he's not a video game characters doesn't mean he snatches seats from other game companies. Seriously, I would expect to see more Nintendo stars rather than 3rd guests no matter where they come from. Ralph's own problem is he...

Regardless of Waluigi who's been debatable in this series, I agree with this to a degree. Some crossover cameos are okay, but remember that subseries are the only place where the exclusive characters can shine. Unless there is a crossover title like Mario v.s. DK. Generally the sport spinoffs...

Judging from the usual size of handheld roster, it's not a good surprise unless only of them comes here. But as said, Nintend could have done this since Kart 7 so it's doesn't seem very possible.

Depends on what brand he represents. If he represents the whol Disney brand, there are lots of Disney classic characters prior to him even if excluding those mouses and his friends. It would be a more debateble issue than Rosalina or Sonic. (btw, I'd root for Maleficent in this case). While...

Agree with this saying. If making him in default clothes, which means he represents the original series, it would conflict with the fact that he's not the major character of Mario series / SMB games and he can be "disqualified". I guess it's already a favor for Wario to have two clothes (though...

Even though some kongs like Diddy and Dixie do have some spinoff favors, honesly the DK characters are also in danger. Their total appearances in Wii era are obviously fewer than before, and in the upcoming Tropical Freeze only Dixie and Funky are confirmed to return so far. Another issue is...

For the characters that aren't the protagonists of core SMB games, Wario and DK are obvious choices for having strong enough subseries. I'm not sure of Yoshi's game, but at least Nintendo do want to promote his games recently so I don't have any comment on this . So this leaves Diddy, who is a...

Not sure if Diddy has to be back. Wish that there is at least a newcomer from DK series.

Not sure if your thinking is positive. In a more realistic aspect, it should be that there are more extraordinary characters in other Nintendo series so no more Marioverse characters needed :P. So, if regarding "lack of creative moveset" as the reason, there are many contradictions: 1) There...

Not depising, I'm more inclined to see Kooper come instead. :-\ Positive thinking :).

It's nice to see one of them gets in. But I guess Nintendo could have done this in Party IT and Tennis Open. So, what about all of them? The advantage is that Nintendo can be fair enough for not making any fan of one koopaling mad. The debates coul be that, 1) even though koopalings are...

I know some people rather see Luigi as a palette swap of Mario, so yes, it's personal and irrelevant with characters' position.

I hope everyone continues to cheer for the green brother. And sadly Miyamoto is closer to deaf for unable to hear the cheers for other characters.

Yes, that's the point. I don't think people can say that Miis should disappear if it's just that they're designed good enough.

Interesting. I suppose that there are forty places. Mario: Mario Luigi Princess Peach Princess Daisy Toad Bowser Donkey Kong King K. Rool Wario Mona Legend of Zelda: Link Zelda/Sheik Ganondorf Midna Earthbound: Ness Paula Kid Icarus: Pit Palutena Kirby: Kirby King Dedede Meta Knight Tiff...

Totally agree. I don't remember that anyone wishes to have three princesses or four plumbers before they all appear. :???: Both the lack of diversity of Mario regulars and the lack of female SSB representives are Nintendo's problems. If we don't wish to see adult human princess, still Birdo...

First of all, I don't think that's doing with being in a spinoff or not because that only means Waluigi should be in a mainstream game before Rosalina. It's just as you said, there are many other important regulars so it's not for both Waluigi or Rosalina's turn. And while Wario's pass was due...

Yes, I'm. :P Honestly I never tend to collect coins so I have no clear idea how many coins to unlock a character. Or maybe a trillion USD can ask Nintendo to do so.

So wait I didn't just realized. Why didnt Peach smash Boser for such a long time? Same answer.

Unlock Toadette with a trillion coins. Seriously, I always think coins could be used in many unlockable ideas, even though it may not be as difficult as hidden elements like the Star coins.

I guess it's not "going downhill" but more like "not going big" and "playing it safe". We can see that the structural world of Sicker Star is apparently smaller than the previous Paper titles. In other games we still can still see great changes. SM3DW is one of them. For now WiiU&3DS does look...

That would be interesting too. :P Parially agree. I think the design is identifiable doesn't mean that she can't be more unique, while at least Mario and Luigi are twins and Wario has an alternative Warioware suit. But sometimes I do think that the haters are just saying nonsense. As you...

Well, it's my personal thought, but she's still similar with Peach in her general design (it's what most Daisy haters say, as I remember). She could have been more special if she used other custumes such as Arabian harem pants. At least Kate or Nina were more distinctive than her.

Well I'm not sure Daisy's personality is popular (though I like her), but in that time I'd definitely say, rather than personality, can't you redesign her appearance? And it really sucks when she lacks SMB appearance. :-\

Well, it would not ruin the characters themselves, but their fame for the debate of not using other main characters. Same for the generic toads earlier, though they didn't have any fame. But generally it's Nintendo who are defaming themselves. I guess it's the ultimate fate when we hope a...

Agree. Galaxy 2 isn't that bad, but just not a innovative move. even that there is Galaxy 3 which have 100 review score, people would still say this is a boring game. Unless Galaxy 3 can be made to be totally different and add many features that doesn't look like an expansion pack, we'd still...

Not too serious, but I'd be happy to see Goombario/baria/bella playable in a spinoff. But considering Nintendo's love for koopas, I'd suggest Kooper for them. Anyway, yes, it's now a problem whether the character year is a one-time thing without any longterm plan or fairness. Luigi is indeed a...

Agree. Or maybe you're saying that she's defamed by Nintendo?

If a Daisy Year is to compensate for her loss, I agree, but I'd like to see a Peach Year first.

It depends. If they're not exclusive to a specific story scenario, many of the RPG characters can appear in other Mario games. For Rosalina, she can be in RPGs. More clearly, we don't see more Mario regulars having important roles in newer Paper Mario titles.

Why not? A character is miserable when s/he is forced be absent from a game, not be in a game. After all, the princesses and Birdo can do it, Rosalina can too.

Not sure it's a good move if Nintendo have mentioned "they have no time to make all previous characters return", but if Lucario would be a showcase of "Mega Evolution", it's the only reason why he should return (but the Trainer team could be a better showcase.

Re: Fair Roster for futue Mario spinoffs? Updated: Island Tour and Mario Kart GPDX There are two things I was shocked alittle, one is Waluigi appeared in both new titles that aren't the major release of each series. The second is the appearance of Rosalina in DXGP, where even Birdo and Daisy...

If we're referring to all dinos, they all have the same gender system in theory, don't they?

Personally, if creating moves and models spends more time than characters, I don't mind to see similar characters share the same model instead of losing more characters. In this saying, I think Wolf can "return" and doesn't have to be cut, though I'm not his fan.

You mean Kinopio? So a blue toad year is scheduled.

Former: Being rescued in order to give players bonus life Latter: The Adventures of Captain Toad Uhmm... both are strange spotlights I guess.

I'd like to see his year, but where is his spotlight? Being held by Peach in SSB4?

Well, if we just have two or three characters that the Mario characters come to beat, it can be a reasonable story. What the previous series irritates fans with is that the basic story has nothing to do with Mario world. I personally want to see Plum and Gene back.

Yes. "Importance" is difficult to be defined. It's just what Nintendo have done with them, not their actual potential to fit a role of mainstream games. There have been better "fillers" in Mario history before the reappearance of Daisy and Waluigi, such as the sport athletes. I don't think...

Yes, I have the same question. :???: I'm not quite sure what you meant. We've complained about that no other kong characters could be seen in Return, and since Dixie and Funky would return in this title, it should be reasonable for us to see all kongs being in the canon. Oh, or more Toadettes?

If my memory didn't go wrong, I thought she was almost forgotten between Mario Kart 6 and 7, or this thread wouldn't have appeared. Both being forgotten and being overused are not good things. As you said, the most ideal result should be that everyone can be around everywhere.

I thought there are many other single guys for Rosalina to choose from.

Uh, most Mario characters have no backstories. They're more based on their relationships with each other (eg, Wario was made to be Mario's party rival, not an antihero wth own backstory), while Rosalina seems like a reversed case. That's pretty enough for them to show their roles in main stream...
