Overrated Mario Characters

[NitoriAria]

Yoshi. I never thought he was before until I saw the MPL community...

But generally speaking too. I do think he is.

Yeah. Winner of Survivor #1 (MP characters), 3rd in Survivor #4 (MKW characters), 12th in Survivor #5 (SSBB characters).
I'm in Mario Party Legacy and one of the few Toadette fans there.
Although I find Koopa more overrated for placing higher than actual significant characters (Peach, Bowser, DK, Diddy, Wario)

Would you rather they drop Bowser and put in a random new bunch of villains

They have. It's called most of the RPGs. He usually isn't even a major villain, sometimes being a hero instead. And there's nothing wrong with them. Ironically, the only bad RPG was one of the few in which he was the main villain.

You say this as if I'm the only one.

This topic seems to be getting to characters people don't like

I don't outright hate Bowser, I just feel that he's way overused. Plus, like I said before, he's not the great of a villain. He's far better at being an anti-hero, like in most of the RPGs.

Would you rather they drop Bowser and put in a random new bunch of villains, like how King K. Rool was dropped for the Tikis?

its funny because he whines about the lack of king k. rool and his worthless bunch.

Not to say too many SMB games at one time, if Nintendo can't think two stories where Bowser have different boss roles, I agree that they should try to swap boss for once to prevent from fans' tiredness.

In DK' case, it's true that the decision of new DKC games works better in Mario games.

There's a difference between the two. The Donkey Kong series has gotten far less games than the Mario series. Not counting spin-offs like Super Sluggers, K. Rool hasn't been seen in a new game in six years, and he hasn't been in any of the main console installments since 1999, when Donkey Kong 64 came out. To add insult to injury, K. Rool was left out yet again in Tropical Freeze, despite all the backlash they got for that last time. Need I even get started on that "Does K. Rool HAVE to come back?" garbage? Bowser, on the other hand, appears in pretty much every damn game, even at the expense of other characters (such as Wart, Tatanga, etc.) who are way overdue for a comeback.

true.

personally they're both pretty lackluster but eh.

 

[Dr. Javelin]

idk, i just liked k. rool because his music in DKC 1 was awesome

and he was pretty cool in DK64

YOSHI

Koopa isn't overrated, and if it's someone's first chance of appearing in Mario Party you should deal with it. Koopa might be dropped for Dry Bones later

What do you mean you should "deal with it"? They freaking dropped out Toadette, who had perfect attendance since Mario Party 6, and added a random generic enemy who's supposed to be a shopkeeper and the like!?

 

[A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros.]

I hate it when people never listen to me

yeah because you're the law.

 

[Ray Trace]

I clearly listened to you. If I didn't, I would have completely ignored your post lol

 

[A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros.]

...That's not the point, Koopa replaced Dry Bones and Kamek/Shy Guy might have replaced Toadette

 

[Ray Trace]

good thing I hate those two other characters as well I just hate Koopa the most.

 

[A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros.]

God, the title has overrated not HATED!

 

[Ray Trace]

Well Koopa is overrated. It's the blandest generic enemy out there yet people still love that thing enough for it to be playable in Mario Kart games.

 

[A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros.]

Well at least it gets a character role

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

So does nearly every other generic enemy.
