Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Disembodied Mario head on a hot air balloon was the first thing that came to mind.

Oh look, Rosalina is back again and now being playable before Toad in another crossover game involved Mario now. Squee.

If you can do multiple Marios, I'd gladly create a team of only Marios and maybe one Luigi. :)
 
Rosalina is an Olympic games does not make any sense, now they are adding her for everything.
 
If Rosalina is really in it, yes.

I'm just excited to finally see her in something other than her normal outfit and the bike suit, unless they cop out and down give her alt outfits.

I think that started in Mario Kart Wii (the not making sense part). She's now ingrained in the Mario Universe as a reoccuring character and has become basically one of the prominent female characters in the Mario series. There's not a lot of female characters, and the fact that she is very liked by the fans gives them an excuse to add her to things.

I mean, sure Daisy and Toad and other characters should get as much attention as she's been getting since she debutted (talking in general, not just this game), but I guess Nintendo just likes her a lot.
 
Unlike other games I have absolutely no issue with Rosalina being in this game.

It made even less sense when she was playable in Mario Party and, to an extent, Super Smash Bros.

Rosalina is being treated and becoming Just Another Dang Princess™.
 
So does this mean Zazz is playable? of we're getting three playable Mario characters, Sonic will get and equal amount of newcomers.

Unless Rosalina is a rival as well.

I don't get this one. She's a mario character; a fairly popular one at that, of course she's going to be added to spin-off rosters. That's where those characters go.

She's a commonplace mario character now. It's not really out of the blue either, it began with MKWii and it's progressed to here. The whole 'she doesn't fit into these games' thing is kind of stupid too since there's no criteria for who can and can't be playable in a spin-off of all things.

The Sonic balloon looks kind of weird with it being the top body without the legs. It's probably not as weird as a floating head. Now that I think about it, a floating Mario head would be suitable here.

One of the screenshots has a Mario balloon. It looked like this.

Rosalina's rival is definitely not that unusually realistic princess who appeared in a Sonic game. That is if the prediction of Rosalina is true.

I bet one piece of beacon that if Zazz is a playable character a popular koopaling would be his rival.
