What NDCubes obsession with pairs tells me about Mario Party 10s roster.

So lets start this pairs talk all the way at Mario Party 1!
In that there were 6 Characters. There were 2 unpaired characters (Peach and Wario) and other Characters were not fully aligned on the character select screen.
Mario Party 3:
Daisy and Waluigi come in to pair up the previously unpaired characters but characters are still not pair aligned on the Character select screen. This is the first installment where everybody was paired.
Similar scenario to Mario Party 3 in Mario Party 5.
Mario Party 6:
Toadette comes in giving Toad a new pair leaving Yoshi unpaired. This is the final installment where some characters lacked a pair.
Mario Party 7:
Birdo comes in giving Yoshi a pair again. Character selection still isn't pair aligned however.
Similar scenario to Mario Party 7 in Mario Party 8.
Mario Party 9:
NDCubes first Mario Party. Other than a complete revamp of what the playable characters are, NDCube took pairs a step further and made the Character selection screen pair aligned for the first time.

So what this tells me is:

the confirmed characters and characters that they link to in Red.

Mario-Luigi
Peach-Daisy
Wario-Waluigi
Yoshi-Birdo

And then I will say one more thing.

"Rosalina will be playable" "Luma will not be playable" one of these statements is false, the other is true; Mark my words.

do you see anything... strange about the mario party: island tour roster?
 
inb4 both are true
 
So....Hudson Soft made Mario Party 7, where the SOLE advertisement was partners. NdCube has NO obsession compared to THAT.

Bowser Jr. being a playable character is a problem I have with it.

Not that I hate Bowser Jr. but seriously, it's freaking stupid to think of him landing on a Bowser space and those Bowser things happening to him.

Bowser is a very bad daddy.
 
Maybe Bowser just wants to see if his son has what it takes to be the next leader of the Koopa Troop.

The problem is that he treats Bowser Jr. identically as he treats, say, Wario.

Hence the term, not holding back. If Bowser is willing to punish his son, Bowser Jr. needs to have the guts to take it, and then retaliate.
 
...that's still not good enough for me. I mean, Bowser clearly said, "Isn't it nice to be treated equally? I have no favorites" or something like that
