Sounds like Sonic Generations with Classic Sonic and Classic Tails then, but it doesn't work quite as well due to both being modern in the Olympics games I'd imagine.
Did they ever comment on why they did that or were we just supposed to accept it?
Eh, I like it in the Mario and Luigi games...
It's right though. Can't "shoehorn" harder than giving totally new characters (Wario and Yoshi circa early 90s) their own franchises over much older characters.

Nobody outright told us to stop, and this is a legitimate discussion.
Fine. There really isn't any room for a counterargument anyhow. If it makes you feel better to imagine that there is, then so be it. You did use the word "slot" though, and I've already specified that there's nothing about...

And Daisy never had a role in a main series Mario game. Super...
That's not a point. You have no proof of her being playable before other vets. You seeing signs of her before seeing signs of others doesn't mean she was made playable before them.
You clearly have many personal gripes here which lead to bias in your viewpoint and creates faulty logic that...
