I want a main series Mario game where you can play as Yoshi by himself like in SM64DS

thinking sabout it sm64ds was so weird

what did wario even do in there?
that and sml2 are like the only times hes appeared outside of warioland/world/ware and of course all the spinoffs

of course it isnt bad that wario gets more spotlight but still weird

I found Wario's inclusion tolerable as I consider him as a significant Mario character, but I found stranger that Yoshi was builded like a plumber when he was a dinosaur in Super Mario 64. If only reaching the castle had more meaning in Super Mario 64 Ds. Could had been good if you found dinosaur Yoshi in the roof in the original game and you could ride him to get more stars. Right now, I am talking about Super Mario 64.

Mario Kart 8 has the best character roster in the Mario Kart series.
I agree. Including a lot of dumb characters isn't bad, you just don't have to play as them. Excluding a lot of important characters, on the other hand...
 
Mario Kart 8's roster only loses to the one in MKwii imo

mario kart 8 had :pgp: which is a fabulous character, but on the other hand also baby rosalina which is just

ugh

mkwii has funky kong and dry bowser so all okay there.

mk7 is sorta meh because it had no real overkill characters except for metal mario

else double dash is the best example for a balanced mk roster imo

the rosters in all the other games suck (though ROB wasnt a bad addition in mkds)
 
We need more storied Mario games. Like an action RPG series.

And more Mario RPG games about the Mario lore.

I want Mario games to establish a lore and a story.

THIS

Though I want to have a heavily-storied game that actually gets merchandising and promotion. Sadly I find the only way to do that is to make it either a platformer or a Mario Kart game, and of those a platformer makes more sense.
