Well, you are a mooder, aren't you? I believe that you should be able to mod Baby Luigi into the game.

It's not that simple.

For starters model imports are not a thing in then switch yet.

Second this game has a compression on the files that's tricky and it's not researched enough for us to ''mod'' things inside the game aside from sounds because those have the same format as the Wii U, but the are little endian now.

Third, it would be a play to animate a full model with the tennis racket and god knows how it would be possible to add the special shot and other effects.

It's so easy to say ''just mod him in'' but it's not easy for it to be done.

also if people are skeptical about the final character number , which should be 28

think about it.

Development for this probably started in 2016, after Ultra Smash's release.

Since then Camelot has not done shit whatsoever, and Sports Super Stars doesnt count because Namco was heavily involved in development and the Camelot side of the game reuses assets from past games ported over so their effort was minimal.

They seem to have dedicated a lot of time to Aces.

Furthermore, it doesnt take a genious to realise the amount of recycling Aces has.

character models are from Ultra Smash but tweaked, textures are too and from past games, voices and SFX are from past games too.

That gives them plenty of time since assuming 2016 to implement other characters for this game and that's why the roster could be this big, because with Ultra Smash as a base they could spent time in other things.
 
it means they have been working on this game when the Switch was NX which supports my theory of it being developed right after Ultra Smash

Ultra Smash file names are Wii U as code name, which makes sense because they develop it when the Wii U was Wii U.

That I can actually think a reason why: Baby Mario is in Mario Tennis 64, which they now consider the first game of the series, so they have one valid reason to have him in. Sadly, Baby Luigi wasn't there, so if they need to give priority, they'll surely prefer Baby Mario over Baby Luigi.

Does this mean they'll add Baby Peach as his partner again?
Why can't we get Luma back? :(
 
They appear in her Special Shot, more adorable than ever, so as long as they do appear in some way I don't regret them not being playable.

Can we not?
 
Baby Luigi is more important than Baby Peach.

I too would, tbh, be bothered by Baby Peach being playable but not him.
