Worst Mario Roster

[Dorayaki]

Im not a fan of the mario kart 64 roster.

That's too old. If Mario Tennis 64 defined most main characters in that time, the game couldn't get enough characters to choose.

Wrecking Crew '98 had more than Mario playable.

Eggplant Man
Koopa Troopa
Gotcha Wrench
Foreman Spike
Onigiri (a ball of rice)
Onnanoko (a girl)
Oyaji (a middle aged man)
Dogu (a clay figure)

I got it by youtube. The game is after Mario Tennis 64, in that time Daisy, Yoshi or Birdo were already there.

It doesn't seem like a conventional game, those original characters or species are opponents from each level, as they intends not to use Bowser as the rivals. But I think there are still many other choices in Mario's series, like King K. Rool or Wart.

NES: Oh, no wonder. Generic human characters infect the roster once again!

First of all, you took out Luigi, Peach, and Bowser from my list.

K. Rool? He's a Donkey Kong villain, not a Mario villain.
Wart? Mario dreamed him.

I simply quoted those characters originally made.

Playable
Steve
Mark
Tony
Billy
^These last four are random human characters.

Only if you guys like to take example from Camelot's works. But rather than GBA, it's truly weird they order other main characters to stand aside and just let Mario play with other people.

The staff want to create clubs as the theme of sport games, I have no comment, because Mario members aren't professional athletes. But these characters are not distinctive, useful and recurring in the following games, I don’t know why the were chosen in that time.

Wart? Mario dreamed him.

King K. Rool appeared in Super Sluggers.

You can say Mario dreamed Birdo, Bob-omb, and Shy Guy.

Although they have now appeared in games that are not dreams.


Back on topic again now.

He was major in Super Mario World too.

No, he was more of a deuteragonist

Did you mean Super Mario World two (as opposed to too), YD? Good spelling is very essential.

No I meant the first SMW.

Mario Sports Mix has a goodness-gravy awful roster. Staying on topic.

Well at least take out the Square characters and replace it with these:
Brido
Dixie Kong
Koopa Troopa
Rosalina
King Boo
Toadette

That would make it into a 100 times better roster.

I definitely agree, especially with Toadette being there

Wait, what do you mean by "roster"? As in a selection of playable characters in a spin-off game? Or just the cast of characters in a regular Mario game?

Either way... Mario Kart 7, no question in my book.
