...That just makes the decision even more dumb. It seems like they didn't like the idea of Mario spreading there in order to promote more people (money) to buy M&S since they actually helped in marketing it.
As sad as that is, I've known this truth for many years. They could at least spread the Mario & Sonic series to something beyond the Olympics though, like a fighter or racing game.
This game IS called SEGA All stars racing for a reason. Putting in Mario would defeat the purpose. Sure it would get more people buying it, but the point is its a game taking characters from SEGA's history, Mario already has his own kart racer, but I dont see people asking Sonic to be in for more sales. Same deal here.
Well then why was Banjo-Kazooie, Xbox Live Avatar and Miis in the first game? None of them are SEGA characters. From seeing the trailer, this game is coming to PS3, PSVita, 3DS and Xbox 360, so if they were to put Mario (as well as return the Miis) in the 3DS version, I would totally be getting that one rather than the Xbox 360 version (or both if the 3DS version ends up being extremely downgraded like the DS version of the first game, but I doubt that will happen).
BTW, there won't be a Wii version, but this gives a heads up for a Wii U version to be announced later on. If Mario isn't in the 3DS version, he might be in the Wii U version.

Mario is pretty much THE face of Nintendo. Banjo isn't the face of X-Box last time I checked. Its like putting Sonic in Mario party. It's called Mario party for a reason.
SEGA All-Star Racing Transformed is also called that for a reason.
But I've said what I've had to, so you can keep chatting about the game. The first game was great by itself, this one will be too. So I don't know why putting in one more character will sway so many people. You should be playing for SEGA's characters, not Nintendos. It's like an insult to SEGA.
But fuck it. Don't listen to me. Do whatever you want. I'm just in a fucking bad mood for some reason.
Hey guys! Guess what? TSSZ, a site that I actually find to be quite reliable in their news, has posted *potentially* new information regarding the game.
I'm at least happy to know that two of my favorite SEGA franchises, Vectorman and Ristar, at least have a reliable chance of being in here! Although I think that latter's cameo in the Sonic DLC stage Death Egg in the predecessor pretty much gave that away. It's also sad news to see Kirby might've had a chance. His Warp Star would've made an awesome vehicle! Although I honestly think Fox would've ben better since he could have a Landmaster on land, Arwing in the sky, and the Blue Marine in the water! Would've been awesome...
But I'm completely content with SEGA characters though. I really want Nights though, he's my second favorite to SEGA.
Remember, despite my shown enthusiasm, there is a chance that this might not be true. However, I'm willing to trust them due to reasons already stated.
