If you could erase 1 character from existence who would it be?

I don't really mind the koopalings, I just wish the NSMB games had different bosses.

Honestly, I can't think of anybody I'd want to completely erase. They can be annoying, but they all play their roles. Except Pink Gold Peach and Metal Mario, they're useless.

Although I wouldn't want to say I want to erase either. I think Metal Mario's cool, PGP is okay, I just wish they did more with them. What if Metal Mario was a machine-made Mario prototype by Smithy that got loose, and then he later stalked Mario through the spin-offs?

That would make Metal Mario awesome. I don't really want him to be an evil clone of Mario because evil clones are done to death, and we have people like Shadow Mario and Cosmic Mario as some creepy and evil Mario clones in the first place. I like the idea of Metal Mario stalking Mario, but whenever Mario turns around, Metal Mario just appears as a metallic statue. Although I'm not sure if I dig it if Metal Mario became creepy. Still, I'd like to see Metal Mario in more games, such as in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, where he's perfect to rival Metal Sonic. I think he has potential ("mia mama", anyone?), but right now, Nintendo's not doing enough with him.

I like Waluigi for being just a funny character that definitely belongs in a Mario game. Wario just wouldn't be the same without Waluigi, especially the two together look exactly like bumbling cartoon villains, complete with the tall skinny, mischievous man that's with a dumb fat person. I think that's why the Waluigi and Wario shenanigans are so entertaining, and it really sucks that the recent games don't really do this, especially Mario Tennis: Ultra Crash-and-Burn. I also think Waluigi is LONG overdue for an appearance outside of Mario spinoffs, and also an appearance in a MaRPG.

Yeah you did forget, considering that Elder Princess Shroob isn't the main antagonist of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

She's a catalyst sure, but once you beat her in that first boss fight, she doesn't appear again. Bowser is more of a main antagonist than Elder Princess Shroob.

Isn't it funny? If you erase Mario from any of his spin off literally nothing happens.

Particulary because , nobody plays as him.
 
Of course something would happen. The game is called Mario Kart/Party/Whatever and Mario ain't in it. People would be outraged.

It's something we take for granted. We don't think much about it, but without it we'd lose our shit.

Oh contraire! I play as him from time to time.
 
i literally don't know anybody who plays as him in anything , but anyway.

And i stand for what i said earlier , Iggy Azalea or whatever is his name , that nerdy koopa needs to go away , no wonder they ditched him in M&S at the Olympic Rio games , he is scary as hell.

Another character that could go away , would be Pauline since she is literally pointless at this rate , i even forget she exists sometimes.

And maybe Boshi , he is such a bad attemp of making something look edgy.

The Siren Sisters , except Vivian , Vivian can sit with us , She/he is cool.

Dry Bowser can stay in hell for what i care.

and possibly Any sub boss in 3D World , since they are pretty forgettable.

Frankly, changing Iggy's hair color from rainbow to green at least makes him a more unique Koopaling, even if he is quite crazy.

I wonder why people had trouble distinguishing Iggy from Lemmy and Larry, it's so obvious that he's the only one with glasses, right?

Anyway, even if I had the chance of doing it, I wouldn't erase a character of the Mario universe from existence, at most, if it is just an alternate version of an existing character, I would rather change it (Baby Rosalina must match the storybook!) or relegate it to spinoff titles (Dry Bowser). And kindly ask Nintendo to add new characters in spinoff titles rather than create new alternate versions of the same characters.
 
It still boggles the mind how Nintendo has the rights to the Donkey Kong characters, and yet the company never even bothers to implement the Kremling Krew anymore, even if it's just for the Mario spin-offs. Smash 3DS at least gave the Kritters some attention, but K. Rool still has not seen the spotlight since Mario Super Sluggers; he does get a trophy cameo in Smash 3DS / Wii U, but that's just not enough.

Pretty much. Mario practically owns the entire franchise, Luigi's in nearly every game and has a mini-series, and Wario basically has his own series, same with Yoshi and Donkey Kong, and Waluigi can't even escape the spin-offs?

I'm still waiting for Bowser to get his own dedicated game where he is the main character, he needs a game far more than Waluigi does.

Bowser's inside story doesn't count since he shares the spotlight with Mario & Luigi
