Super Mario Run

Well let's face it, she's basically part of the main Mario cast now. Her not appearing is more of a mystery than her appearing these days.
 
She lost her mystique three years ago back in November.
 
How is appearing in way less than 20 games being overused???

Its not like Rosalina is a one time character. She is a main character , its only natural for her to appear regularly.
 
Well, she was created to be a NPC and that's what made her so cool and mysterious. Integrating a character into the main cast, especially in a simple series like Mario, makes a character lose that effect naturally.
Anyway, unlike what someone assumed, it's not that I don't want Rosalina in because I dislike her (I don't). I just feel like Wario would bring more diversity in terms of moveset and show a greater potential for creativity & innovation because of his severe underutilization in the recent years.

While Wario surely has potential, pretty much every Mario spin-off has him in the roster and Mario platformer typically don't have Wario in the roster anyway (with Super Mario 64 DS being an exception, not the rule), so I wouldn't talk about underutlization but rather about his series being stopped for no clear reason, which led to him being mainly a spin-off character in the last two years which is admittedly odd at best.
 
I want Wario Land back :(

Well, it's wishful thinking on my part. SPD's bad treatment of him is the major offender and it is probably the reason of his plummeting popularity. I don't want to see Wario be regulated as a spinoff only character and having him in a mobile game that will be seen by the masses will rejuvenate his relevancy again.

I wouldn't call someone a main character if they have appeared in only 16 games. By that account, the list of main characters in the Mario franchise would be much bigger than it is right now.
 
It's not only appearance that counts. What if all their appearances are in recent games? And what if they constantly appear in promotional material?

Rosalina debuted in a main game in a supporting role , and did more than Peach ever did when she debuted , same with characters like Daisy.

She escalated relatively FAST to being playable , unlike other characters that took more time for this.

She gets new artwork and promo material everytime they can include it.

She managed to be playable in Smash , which is a huge deal considering not All the characters in each series are playable , only those considered ''Main'' are clearly included as playable.

Rosalina is not ''main'' out of her amount of appearences , which its irrelevant since she still keeps appearing and the number just goes up and up ; She is a main character because she is treated like such and because her inclusion actually have some weight inside the regular series.
