Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

[Starlight24]

Rosalina apparently stuck in 1 outfit as of today , which is getting on my nerves. We get iit Nintedo , Rosalina now has a swimsuit Woopi Doo , now please tell me she plays other events aside from what looks like the most boring event in the game.

Tails can be seen in the Soccer event, the Equestrian event (in the box art) and in the Rhythmic Club (in-game footage) so there shouldn't be character restrictions in the Wii U version. You even see Bowser in the 100m Dash event in the introduction...

yeah but correct me if im wrong , all the newcomers are playing 1 specific event in the trailer as if they were like Rivals or sub-bosses. Others such as Cream don't even appear.

I saw Peach and Daisy playing volleyball and we know Daisy also does the Baton event and Peach was shown Playing in a Mario Team.

Those are Veterans , the newcomers however are stuck in 1 event in the trailer.

Still better than Larry and Wendy: the former doesn't play at all, the second is stuck on a parade float...

you aren't even adressing the nature of my post , but ok.

I'm sorry that my point wasn't clear. Larry and Wendy are newcomers, who don't appear in any event in the trailer we saw. This reinforce the concept that the trailer is just to show some events (not even all, equestrian is still missing) and some newcomers. Even if the trailer doesn't show newcomers in more than one event, this doesn't automatically mean that the newcomers won't be playable in more than one event, especially considering that the veterans aren't restricted. We cannot jump to conclusions yet. Remember that the 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games had character restrictions for the playable characters while the Wii version didn't have them.

So i don't get 1 thing.

In the Wiki page , Birdo has been removed as a character yet Boom Boom and Toad are added?

What's the logic in that?

Toad hasn't even shown playing ANYTHING , meanwhile Boom Boom appears as a species in the in-game footage with more that one in the Rugby event.

The Red Birdo was a goalie in-game ; Yet the actual BIRDO is a goalie in the trailer , but she is still playing.

I don't agree with removing Birdo just yet and adding those 2 since there's nothing that supports they are fully playable as today , they are in the same boat as Birdo if we are being fair.

Edit:

This video spots DRY BOWSER flag so it means he is still playable ; It also spots TOAD'S so it confirms him as playable too

Red Birdo, Birdo, Boom Boom as a species and the egg Pawns are there, as supporting characters (i.e. playable but not selectable characters). Toad and Boom Boom appear with Team Mario in the trailer, among all playable characters that greet the public in the introductory night scene (Red Birdo cannot be seen, nor are Egg Pawns seen with Team Sonic, suggesting that supporting characters are not in those teams in this introductory scene). We make this distinction between playable characters and supporting characters in the wiki, and since the information we have from footage of Soccer and Rugby gameplay suggest us that we cannot choose the goalies and the rest of the team in the Rugby event, we have put those characters among the Supporting Characters.

I'll never understand why Lemmy, Iggy, and Morton got the cold shoulder. A generic Dry Bones made very little sense if you asked me, but I guess it was implemented because of its involvement in the past Olympic Game installments.

After Paper Jam and those three's pathetic boss battle, I'm convinced Nintendo hates those three.

As surprising as this may sound, Dry Bones is so popular that merchandise based uniquely on him is sold in the UK Nintendo Store:

The Koopalings and Bowser Jr. don't have such merchandise yet.

And of course your point is the most likely reason why he was inserted.

Regarding Iggy, Morton and Lemmy, I really can't see the actual reasons, I can only point out that other teams on Sonic's side are incomplete in the 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games:

• Chaotix Detective Agency (Charmy Bee is not playable)
• Babylon Rogues (Storm the Albatross is missing)
• Deadly Six (only Zazz and Zavok are playable)

The same question can also be asked about the other Deadly Six members, but I'm probably guessing that Master Zik would be the odd one out if Team Mario didn't have an additional teammate.
