A obnoxious part of fandom is that a lot of them focus on one trait and ignore the others
What do you feel like should be focused on?
Personally, I think a lot of people ignore that Birdo is genuinely supportive and friendly, not to mention, she became a flat out better person even in the context of SMBUSA, the only time since then she's been on the villain side since then is due to her being navie due to just being born and being heads over heels till she realized she been duped, Birdo is not a bad guy anymore
 
I feel like Luigi is not trans but

Mario, Luigi, and Peach are all officially into drag.

I feel like many games often overlook that Bowser has magic powers. They could make better use of that to make more interesting boss fights.
 
Pretty much everything about Baby Luigi. The only time he has ridden Yoshi in a game was Yoshi & Touch Go. Yoshi's Island DS introduced this subplot of Baby Luigi hiding away from Kamek while Kamek was looking for babies but it didn't go anywhere and it was pointless. They could have made him done a baby uprising. And finally, he was the ONLY major baby character to NOT ride on Yoshi in that game.

Then, Yoshi's New Island came out, which meant that Baby Luigi had been kidnapped three consecutive times (not counting Touch & Go) in a row. As if that's not enough, the game came out during Year of Luigi, the year where Luigi was supposed to shine and upheave the status quo of Mario being the star yet this didn't happen in New Island for whatever bloody reason.

Finally, he got withheld from attention in favor of Baby Peach in Mario Tennis Open, Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He was shafted to be unlockable in Mario Kart Wii, and not even the easiest ways for many players to unlock him.

Speaking of the two characters, I really wish they were affiliated with Chain Chomps again. Double Dash made them extremely fun to wield one. Same with Partners in Time. After Mario Super Sluggers (with their beware of Chain Chomp video combination when you combined a Baby Mario and Baby Luigi card), it just tapers off.

I just want those two playable in Mario Party damn it.
 
Waluigi's worthlessness, fabolousness and dancing abilities are hilarious traits and good enough to distinguish him from Wario or from being an evil Luigi clone who screams wah.

Mario's other past jobs are criminally underlooked and they would make for some potentially awesome games.
