Which character would NOT deserve their own game?

It's a pretty bad, ugly smiley of him.

Actually I think that, aside from the ones who already got their own games, no one but Bowser and Rosalina deserve their own games. Bowser because, come on, it's Bowser (no, I don't count Bowser's Inside Story) and Rosalina because she actually has potential (now, whether I'd buy the game or not depends on the genre and many other things).

But one thing: give Daisy or Waluigi their own games and that day will be marked as the day where Nintendo will have made their most stupidest decision ever.

why not?

Both characters are pretty awesome, and if nintendo actually put effort into them, it could be good.

personally i dont think its stupid but that's just me i guess.

I'd like them to make more major appearances before they get their own game.

but at this rate thats never going to happen.

I mean as far as nintendo is concerned waluigi and daisy are nothing more than filler.

I think that's tragic. Opposers of Waluigi and Daisy use circular logic: "Waluigi isn't notable, so he needs to appear in mainstream games. Waluigi shouldn't appear in mainstream games because he isn't important enough."

Yes. "Importance" is difficult to be defined. It's just what Nintendo have done with them, not their actual potential to fit a role of mainstream games.

There have been better "fillers" in Mario history before the reappearance of Daisy and Waluigi, such as the sport athletes. I don't think "fillers" are necessary since the mainstream games are also boring at the same time for lacking exciting story elements that spinoffs have.

I really feel like Bowser Jr. doesn't deserve his own game. He is already a spoiled brat.

I would probably say Daisy and Waluigi. As much as I like Waluigi, they're both incredibly minor outside spinoffs and don't deserve their own games yet.

I find it amusing that Mario is probably the only franchise where a character must have their own game to be worth something (based on my observation based on arguments), though Bowser is a slight exception mainly for being the main villain. Perhaps there is an element of pride here, given how privileged we are to have several Mario characters have their own games.

I don't think any character do not deserve to have their own game, because ultimately it's up to the developers on whether they deserve their own game. I feel that Wario is lucky in this respect because the developers are not only interested in expanding his character, Wario is a symbol of not wanting to make Mario games but still wanting to have their own character. I think it's a miracle that Waluigi has his own fangame, named Psycho Waluigi, and one I am grateful for because it really shows that there is an interest in a solo Waluigi game, though an official Waluigi game would have a different direction.

If anything Waluigi and Daisy DO deserve to have their own game (each), because having their own games allow them to expand their character, and since they have been featured a lot, they have a higher degree of notability compared to many characters introduced in the main Super Mario series. This happened to Luigi in Luigi's Mansion, since Luigi was, believe it or not, wasn't significant before that game. The expanded characterisation made Luigi felt like a major part of the Mario franchise. If that sounds like too much, at the very least they perform something significant in-universe too.

*Ahem* Anyway, as per the question on which character would not deserve their own game, I am going to go with the "nobody" option, except for the extremely obscure ones like Jojoba or Baby Wario.

Thank you for reading.

Bowser. He's the big bad, and the most he should be is an antihero who, even then, thinks only of himself.

Wario manages to stay in character when starring in his own games and he's just as self centered so I don't think that should stop Bowser.
