There is some speculation what this shot in the trailer is, some say it's a new mode, others say it's a result screen, regardless, getting sprites of characters that don't have them makes me giddy

In this image, you could see the pixel Mario and pixel Sonic on the right side of the selection screen. It could either be just one event, or they could go the extra mile and convert several events into pixel versions of the original, meaning that 100m shouldn't be the only even affected by this. I do hope that every playable character is affected by this, even the more recent characters like Waluigi, Blaze and Silver.

Thank you for reading.
 
ummm why are there restricted selections of characters in every event... its just like the 3DS versions...

TBH i may go ahead and call this complete hot garbage since Rosalina is absent somehow but i want to still believe that this may be only a demo due to the poor selection of characters and stuff overall

besides this is released in november, so 5 months is still time... if it was for july or august then we may as well be screwed but i'll just wait and see.

at least, i don't believe they are gonna lock the base roster like in that pic because not even the Rio Games did that, it only applied to the 3DS version and the guest characters.
 
i have a feeling that that's for demo purposes but i wont be surprised if they took yet another step backward regarding playable characters
 
A mediocre series makes bad decisions. I'm shocked.
 
I agree that it's likely for demo purposes. This series is pretty hit or miss with certain things, but the console games usually keep the roster in-tact at least.
I'm more worried that they'll continue dumbing down the Dream Events.
On the other hand, I'm looking forward to the remixes we get this time around since that's the one thing this series never screws up.
 
im so sad Rosalina is likely getting the short end of the stick again in this series.

Hell at least if they wanted to be lazy (there's no excuse for any of this bullshit because they skipped 1 game so they had plenty of time)

then at least upgrade Rosalina and Toad to regular and ditch the other Mario guests.

This is so stupid.

oh hell, why are there only 3 dream events now? they keep focusing on the bland shit, but I swear, a game built around dream events would SELL.

don't keep your expectations high. i was disappointed in the roster as it hasn't changed since the second entry despite people wanting the roster to be larger for, like, a century. anyone beyond the roster from the winter games is screwed.
 
Yes, it's a demo since this game is playable at E3, so it's unlikely that this is the selection going forward. I mean, why do you think many characters gets stylish uniforms even though they can't be picked? I just hope that the character selection for the classic mode (the one with character sprites and Tokyo 1964) remains consistent with the regular selection. Speaking of that, I can see Bowser Jr's SMB1 Mario Maker sprite making his appearance here.

There's something that caught my eye in regards to the Mario & Sonic series. We all know that the first Mario & Sonic was not only a million seller, but that definition applies for both Wii and DS versions. The series didn't really reach those numbers for subsequent games, but what amazed me is that, among the Mario sports series, Mario & Sonic accounted for more than 1/2 of the sales total (According to Wikipedia, 22.78M Mario & Sonic against 38.528M Mario Sports). Although I love Mario Sports games as much as any Mario fan here, the series achieving what any one Mario sport game series could not achieve is eye-opening.
