What obscure/forgotten characters would you like to see in a new Mario game?

That would actually be cool, just update the design to look more modern and less GameCube-era-ish.

Yeah that thing looks decent, completely forgot about this game tbh.

Personally, I would like to see Donkey Kong Jr. make another appearance alongside Donkey Kong, because not only is he a classic character that didn't appear for a long time, he's a playable classic character.

Isn't Doneky Kong Jr. Cranky Kong's father now or something?
 
Donkey Kong Jr. is Diddy Kong for all intents and purposes, which I why I think Donkey Kong Jr. is scrapped.

I think you are right, as Diddy was originally intended to be a redesign of Donkey Kong Jr., but Nintendo did not want Rare to let that happen and yet, DK Jr. pretty much disappeared since Mario Tennis on the N64. I also read on a page on TV Tropes (though I'm doubtfoul about this) that Diddy was intended to appear in the game, but was replaced by DK Jr., since Camelot were unsure if they could use Diddy, as he was created by Rare.
 
Even though Luigi's current form is already set in stone, I would love to see some Green Mario. I know what you are thinking: Luigi is Green Mario! Well, I am thinking more of the second player character you play as in Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) and Super Mario World (original). Basically a palette swap of Mario where Luigi looks completely like Mario, albeit with different clothe colours.

Thanks for reading.

So wait. You want Luigi to lose his personality?

No, I am not. I have a certain fondness for Green Mario because that was how Luigi looked like before he becomes the thinner and taller brother, so if there is a return of Green Mario, that would be really cool, even though Luigi is considered the superior choice since his different stature is more beneficial for gameplay.

Thanks for reading.
 
dark enemies
they could be immune to fire, ice, gravity, physical attacks, light, lightning, earthquakes, hypnosis and water, meaning they must be defeated by a new character

Just for clarification, this thread isn't for new enemies or characters to appear in new games; this thread is for old, obscure characters no longer used in the Mario franchise, for instance, Wart and Tatanga. Also, I'm sorry, but those enemies are hideously overpowered. I'm pretty sure you don't know what nerfing is, do you?

I mean that we could buff the enemies to serve as an evil force requiring teamwork to defeat

That still doesn't change the fact that your post doesn't belong in this thread.
