What character do you think should have a more developed back story

Yoshi is a species too in case you were wondering. Yoshi also came out of the blue, but "everyone" loves him.

Yoshis came from an island though, so they at least had a place of origin when they were first introduced. Waluigi has no origin other than he's kinda friends with Wario and an enemy to Luigi.

Mario is born in Mushroom Kingdom too, but many people consider him to personality-less. I don't know why Yoshi does not receive so much of this statement since both are portrayed as happy, cheerful, brave individuals (just that the plumber is more awesome than Yoshi, but that's my own irrelevant personal opinion).

I think the majority of the characters in the Marioverse have cloudy backstories.

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Maybe except Rosalina, but even the Instruction booklet said that her past is shrouded in mystery. Which makes me ask, "Aren't all characters' past basically shrouded for the most part?"

 

[Xiahou Ba]

That's why I said "majority". Anyone interested in King Boo's backstory? Was he actually a king? What?

 

[Xiahou Dun]

I tend to think that he is a Boo that is crowned a king.

I also think Boos are their own species, not spirits from the dead.

Super Mario Galaxy shows the Rosalina's backstory (her tale book). But we don't know where she used to live before. Just it's shown green meadows, a castle's silouette and a big tree.

Well, the main reason it said her backstory was cloudy was to convince players to read her storybook, which contained all details of her life.

In Bowser's Inside Story, Starlow says the Sea Pipe Statue was built in honor of a hero. I'd like to know who this hero was.

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Probably Mario, just like Pipeline Central.
