What's the odd against Nabbit?

[Dorayaki]

It reminds me that Nabbit is in a really strange situation. He is a playable main character in Super Mario title, something Waluigi can only dream in his head, but in the realm of spinoffs, for unknown reason Nabbit becomes the one to get thrown under the bus frequently, except for the two mobile titles from recent time.

Altho Professor EGadd and King K.Rool also face the same problem, it's specifically strange for Nabbit because we always thought that Nintendo tend to give Super Mario titles' materials and characters higher priority, but Nabbit's Super Mario player status doesn't really help him alot.

Do you think Nabbit's position as anti-Waluigi is appropriate, or the decisions could had been done better?

Just imagine a new Mario game coming out and the playable cast is like Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Toad, Toadette, Yoshi, and then it's Waluigi.

so hell yeah to the idea that Waluigi replaces Nabbit in these games

Waluigi is (in my opinion) better than Nabbit, as he's been around longer and is just cooler to me. I'd kinda prefer the namestay than the newcomer in these spinoffs nowadays. Nabbit got his time to shine in Wonder, so where's my Waluigi? In this next game, of course.

Waluigi replaces Nabbit in these games

Assume that they didn't abandon Waluigi, they created Nabbit likely because they want a special player with no power ups.

But it seems wasteful to not further make use of such a character.
