Characters who could be more

Glory to the Shroob Empire! Long live the Shroobs!
What characters from the Marioverse do you feel should have more spotlight? I'm not talking about characters you think would be nice to play in a game, or somebody you think is awesome. This is a discussion about characters who should have more impact because of logical and legit reasons. For example, I feel Daisy could be a more important character because she is the leader of a kingdom that is never heard from, and it could lead to different and interesting gameplay not seen from other Mario games.

So, who do you think should be more?

Edit: Please describe why you think this as well.
 
Waluigi. They need to make a Waluigi land or something. Better yet, Wario & Luigi series instead of Mario and Luigi. Probably won't happen though. :P Also, I wonder why Waluigi is not in Brawl yet... He might be in SSB4 though.

Um...why?
 
I'd say:

1. Daisy (could reveal more info about the relationship between her and Luigi.)
2. Wario (seems like Wario's only in the spin-offs now, he needs to go back to his own series or come back in the mainstream games as a new villain to alternate with Bowser)
3. Yoshi (rather than having Mario ride him all the time, Yoshi should be a completly seperate character kind of like in Super Mario 64 DS)
4. Bowser (give him a reason as to why he wants to take over the Mushroom Kingdom).

First of all, I agree with you on Yoshi. Second, I think Nintendo in they're games have stated many times why Bowser wants to take over the Kingdom. Thirdly, I also agree with you on Daisy, and Wario can have his own mainspace, but Bowser should and always be the main villain in the main series. The spin offs would be cool to have Wario as the final though.
 
Easily my answer is Toad. Yes, I know that this might sound biased or whatnot (looks at user name); however, I feel that Toad (the character) deserves better than what he has received in the recent years. He first appeared in SMB 2 as a main character and has faded ever since. He still appears in the Mario games; however, his roles (outside of the spin-offs) tend to be very small in comparison to his status at his debut to the Mario series (one of the original protagonists). We didn't even receive Toad himself as a playable character in NSMB Wii (even if the two Toads are recolored versions of him). To make matters worse, they are making him seem more and more generic these days as well. I would just like to see him return as a main or even a playable character in the mainstream Mario games. It has always been a pattern of six classic Mario characters (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Toad and Yoshi); however, it is only poor Toad who did not get to be a part of the spot light at all throughout the series.

Anybody remember Pirate Goomba?

Waluigi of course. He really needs his own game.

Waluigi was in SSBB, as an asist trophy. But I assume you mean as a playable character... ???

Here are my responses:

1:(Daisy) Agreed
2: (Wario) Somewhat agreed. Wario's place is in the spin-offs and WarioWare/Wario Land games. Giving him more of a role would diminish these series
3: (Yoshi) Completely disagreed. Yoshi has more of a role than I actually think he should have, no offense. He has been in several main-series games, has a popular spin-off series, and is one of the most popular characters in all of the mushroom kingdom.
4: (Bowser) Agreed, but it's already been done.(Paper Mario series).

Well, Toad has been in a lot of Nintendo games, but I agree with you. Toad should also be in a SSB instead of a taunt for Peach.
