I'm worried about this roster. The previous rosters in the recent games are crappy. Will this one follow the trend of the exodus of many characters?
I'm afraid that it already has with the exclusion of Toad, Koopa, Baby Luigi, etc.
Sigh, Camelot and their need for caring about their own creations as opposed to more Mario characters.
My favorite characters aren't in a game therefore the roster is crappy

seriously the reason most games don't have a bajilion characters is because of the sports they represent Golf, Tennis, Kart Racing, and Party all have small rosters because they don't have as many chances to unlock people nor do they have a story mode (except golf and tennis on occasion) Baseball has a huge roster because it's baseball each team has 9 members and there are what 7 teams same with Football.
I do understand what you mean and what you have said makes perfect sense; however, the reason I am slightly upset by the recent rosters is because of their lack of a few certain characters who are generally seen as key or major characters.
With the inclusion of the various, random newcomers in MTO, I am a bit upset to see that some of they "key" characters who have played major roles in the Mario series history and have been playable in many spin-offs earlier are not included in a roster that already includes many of the all-stars of the Mario series. Many of these key characters who are often excluded are the cause for some of the complaint for the various new Mario spin-offs as some people are attached to one character in specific (especially if that character has appeared many times in the past).
It is rather upsetting to see when one's favourite character is included in every spin-off while another's favourite who also serves as a major character is instead excluded (especially if that character has been playable in that specific sports series in its earlier titles).
