Which old villain should make a comeback?

Or more simply, don't exist anymore. :P

Nintendo did a pretty good job with characer roles for Mario characters around the GameCube and DS era what with Luigi and Peach getting their own games and Yoshi receiving a sequel to Yoshi's Island with Wario and DK's infant counterparts making surprise appearances (okay, Baby DK's apearance wasn't really a surprise since he was in the commercial). But yeah, after that, Nintendo's Mario stories kind of went back to Bowser kidnapping Peach.

Except for Toad. He started receiving smaller roles.

I think the reason as for the increasing number of the Mario games revolving around kidnapping recently may have been due to the success of the NSMB games. Seems like Nintendo thinks that a NSMB-esque game is more than enough for us lately due to sales. It's not a bad move as the games are still fun; however, the story has become a little...too predictable lately.

You just want Toad to be playable again

That might be part of it. :P Though I really would like to see some selection as in the original SMB2 in the platforming games. I always thought Mario+Luigi+Toad+Peach was a nice combination for the platforming games (though oddly we never saw this combination again since SMB2).

Additionally, my personal favourite Mario games are SMB2 and SMS so far. I personally enjoyed the games, and ironically I loved them because of their different gameplay styles.

Um which main mario games don't revolve around kidnapping (other then the ones mentioned) face it guys they've always revolved around kidnapping from woman to babie to monkies and hell even the occasional dinosaur kidnapping

^SMB2, and the SML titles after SML1 (though it slowly evolved into the Wario series later). Let's not forget the baby kidnapping in the Yoshi games as well (Poor Baby Luigi).

Even the original Donkey Kong game started the Mario series with a kidnapping scene (even Mario played the same game of kidnapping in DK Jr.). :P Nintendo sure does have something with the abduction of various characters throughout its history.

Did Wart not kidnap the Subcon faries

Oh my, I've forgot that part. Scratch that off then. I guess every Super Mario game has involved kidnapping (unless SML2 counts).

 

[RandomGuy]

Didn't Wario just kidnap a castle instead of an actual creature?

The fairies weren't characters we were familar with and they didnt' become major characters.

You can kidnap only sentient beings. Who's heard of kidnapping a castle? :P

Yeah. It's been a while since I've seen Petey Piranha. It'd be nice to have the big guy back.

It is true that "kidnapping" a castle wouldn't exactly count (though I wouldn't put it past Wario to kidnapping someone if they were in the castle in that game).

Still Wario did manage to "take away" something so dear to Mario (similar to that of a kidnapping). Guess the Mushroom Kingdom needs a better police force to deal with these criminals in order to set them straight. Defeating the villains and letting them escape isn't going to let them go straight. :P

Yes Mario loved that castle so much that after that game he bought a house and never used the castle again

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Mario donated his castle to charity.

 

[Gumball Machine]

Why would he do that? Actually, Lemmy's Land of all places came up with a logical theory.

Spoiler

Apparently Mario found ruling a kingdom of his own to be too stressful so he signed it over to Peach.

Well perhaps that explains the multiple castles Wario has owned in the past? Mario probably didn't need it so I guess Wario made use of it (he already stole it once). Heck, Toad even destroyed one of Wario's castles in Wario's Woods SNES. Wario probably has several castles under his command if he's so willing to use them as a base.

Nah Wario prolly just uses his money to buy more castles
