As much as I love Mario, that's not fair.

And where's Toad?

That's really dumb. Is this also the case for the Wii U version?

I don't think so as we saw characters participating in other sports in the Wii U version if I recall correctly.

They're trying to go the route of the 3DS London version, a route they shouldn't take.

Why do female characters have all the fun? Why can't the male humans get speedos? D:

Do we really want to see Mario or Luigi in a speedo?

If your answer is anything besides yes then you have failed me

Yesyesyes

If the Pitch/Crazy/Rosaloser/Amee/Balze fans can get their fanservice, then it's only fair that the Mario/Luigi/Waluigi/Wario/Eggman fans get it too. : D
 
Well, Bowser is naked if that means anything.
 
I emphasize male humans. The rest of them are being natural.
 
and humans wearing clothing is apparently not natural?
 
Still though even with the chararacter restrictions (Which hopefully will not exist or be less of a thing on the Wii U version just like how it was on the London game) it's a bit better since there is actually new characters to play as. Since until now the last time we got new characters as playable it was the 2nd game in the series. About 6 years ago.
 
well i'm glad it's a huge step. it looks like the realized what they did with the roster and said, "man we screwed up here, a bunch of characters this time"
