I'm fine with Metal Mario.
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

Congratulations Manasword, you're the new Dorayaki. I think the reason that Baby Daisy isn't appearing any more is because everybody hates her.

I'm not Dorayaki.
and I most topic is about the characters' roster.
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

I wasn't saying that you're the same person as Dorayaki, I was just saying that you're incredibly similar. You talk about rosters, you clearly are not fluent in English, and you misunderstand sarcastic jokes.

I don't think most people hate her they just don't use her.
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

Well, you can't change the current rosters in Mario Sports Mix/Mario Party 9/Mario Kart 7.

What you CAN hope for is that these characters (especially Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, and Toadette for me) is to appear in the next ones or newer games. That's what I' hoping for.
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

There are some aspects to deliberate:
Babies and kongs are subseries characters, they do have fewer chances in spinoffs. One problem is that no news of sequels to their games. Despite Diddy appears more than other kongs, babies were used in Kart mostly as light racers, this means some other spinoffs can add one or two light users as well.

Baseball is based on "Super(all)star" and includes as many characters as possible, I guess it can be the chance for several NPCs who are seldom playable, but not for those who should frequently appear.


BTW, Pianta and Noki who were originated from Sunshine seem to have less playable chances in other spinoffs?
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

Of course Diddy appears a lot. He's the second most important character in the DK series.

Which is a big mistake. They should be playable in more games.
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

I think they're funny creatures, that's all. Like Wario.

Piantas rock, when you jump on their heads they get angry, how amusing, and they sell fruits for free.

They GROW their fruits on roofs and fountains

They're crazy, but in a good way
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

They also have some percentage of stupidity, well some of them.

These quotes are edited largely

Pianta on Island: I want to get back to the *bleep*ing Delfino Plaza but i cant *bleeping* swim.

*flood occurs*

Mario: Oh, a look. The stupid pianta is off the island, that little *bleep*.
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

How did that Pianta get stranded in that island in the first place? There's no evidence that he sailed on a boat. Did he just fall from the sky or what?
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

The point is, Nintendo is leaving out these awesome characters (Piantas, Baby Luigi) in favor of crappy ones (Koopa Troopa).
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

I think all rosters are perfect but I think that the your Mario Kart 7 roster still contained Metal Mario. I would have replaced him with Wigglier as he was one of the two good newcomers in Mario Kart 7.

>Implying Nintendo actually cares what a vocal(?) minority thinks.
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

If the 16 characters confirmed or MK7's garbage-like newcomers in Mario Tennis Open.
I'm saying to Nintendo.
Dear Nintendo.
Stop your inappropriate behavior on gameplay and roster.
Almost games' roster number is decrease than previous game.
and you have almost characters are not appear been since 2008.
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

that would make such a difference

And also I am so glad Baby Time is banned because he would do something retarded in this thread.
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

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 hope this is just a low point in rosters and not something that will continue on forever
 
Re: Those characters are not appeared since Mario Super Sluggers.

It's been 4 years what have there been roughly 5 spin off games two of which were cross overs also there was one Donkey Kong Game jesus Christ bring this whole disappearing character nonsense up when 15 years go by
