It's cards, not toys. They can easily change it. The art, the particular symbols, all of it.
And they have an entire solid month. Nothing here is concrete. Things can change at the last minute. The point is, stop jumping to conclusions.
Yes, because everything is taken at face value, right? Everything we see right then and now is exactly what's going to determine the final project.

Two of the 'pallet swaps' look more distinct than the literal 'Mario colored in MS Paint' that...
That symbol doesn't mean shit. Look at this.

Dry Bowser's emblem is used for the final DLC even though he doesn't appear in it. Like I said before, don't jump to conclusions.
This is exactly why you don't put in a joke option.
...anyway, Toadette and Dry Bowser. Because they can pull a 'Fake Bowser' in the case of the latter.
None of those will have any effect on the game except maybe Bowser, considering three of them weren't in Mario's most 'successful' game this gen (Mario Run).
Gee, maybe because 7 and 8 are nowhere as popular as Wii? Also keep in mind that most didn't bother using anyone in 7 aside from Metal Mario or Miis.
And Morton is simply because he's 'new', the same reason for Funky + Miis in Wii and Metal Mario in '7'. I'm not saying Daisy is 'loved', but...
Thanks for confirming you never played Mario Kart Wii, 7, or Double Dash. Because in Wii especially, the only character you'd see more than Funky or Miis was Daisy and her baby self.
Mario Galaxy 1 aged horribly. It was never good to begin with, but holy shit, the obscene cutscenes and Wiimote controls are just bad.
Arguably, most of Modern Mario can fall into this given how disgustingly bland and sterile it's become, but it started with NSMB1 on DS and took a big fat...
Rosalina is just the new Daisy, a generally liked popular character who gets enormous amount of hate.
People don't care about Cat Peach or Tanooki Mario because they're just Peach and Mario in furry suits. Same with the metal reskins.
They do, because she's in far more games than any of them. Hell, one of the things people gave Mario Kart 8 crap about when it started off was that Rosalina was the new Funky Kong for being everywhere online.
Far more people (both fans and casuals) hate Baby Rosalina, Pink Gold Peach, and even Rosalina than Cat Peach, Tanooki Mario, and Dry Bowser.
Two of them are more or less forgotten, and the other one is more or less generally liked and actually has a basis beyond Mario Kart.
If you're going to play that dumb card, then 'Elsa' is in the same boat as Daisy and Waluigi since they all got passed up in the most successful Mario game of all time in favor of Toadette. :toadette:
Yoshizilla-Rhedosaurus is gonna have a field day with this now that Peach x Toadette is canon.
That and Toadette actually being playable, along with a variety of characters, are three good things in this game's favor.
Given how safe Nintendo likes to play these days, I can tell the 'main' roster is going to be what we normally get nowadays. I mean, they already have a 'surprise' in Baby Luigi being present for the Tennis/Golf portions, with the other 'surprise' being that Toad is a species as opposed to a...
Considering the existence of Jigglypuff and Luigi's status during the 64 era, 'relevancy' and all that nonsense doesn't mean anything. It never has since the original, notably because Samus didn't even have an N64 game.
It just happens. Doesn't matter if it's good, bad, or eh, it just happens.
I don't think people who hate Dry Bowser should claim he's stupid regardless of the context when clones like Rosalina and Baby Luigi are just as bad. Hell, that's part of the 'charm' of this franchise. Half the main cast are clones. :luigi: is Mario dipped in green, :wario: and :waluigi: are...
Galaxy 1 is a horrible marriage of the worst bits of the old Mario games, the Sonic Adventures, and Star Wars. Not to mention the godawful motion controls.
Galaxy 2 is just Galaxy 1 infected by NSMBS.
3DWorld is a bastard child of Mario Party and NSMB while also being a bastardization of SMB2USA.
Re: Nintendo x Universal Theme Parks [UPDATE: Coming to Orlando, LA, and Osaka!]
Considering that whole Rabbids deal, what are the chances of the goddamn Minions pairing up with Mario due to this?
Anything since 2006, especially in regards to the awful platformers. Wii was the thing that made the Mario franchise as a whole staler and boring than it ever was before. Compared to everything from before and including the Gamecube, what we got was decent at best.
Granted, at least DS was...
Rosalina. The one and only possible good thing she might have had going for her basically has been crapped on by Nintendo making her the new '2nd Peach', basically taking a role most people either couldn't care less about to begin with or absolutely hate (as seen with Daisy).
And Toad. NSMBW...
