Too Many Males - Remaining 7 Should Be Female!
I was hoping to see a new character besides the Miis - but this game looks so awesome!
I have one complaint, thus far:
It's a Mushroom Kingdom sausage fest. I know this isn't that much different than usual for Mario party/kart/sport titles - but they should mix it up! (no pun intended)
12 playable characters have been revealed, of which 10 are male:
Mario
Luigi
Wario
Waluigi
Yoshi
Toad
Diddy Kong
DK
Bowser
Bowser Jr.
The 2 females are:
Peach
Daisy
They should make the final 7 all female to even it out.
Here are my suggestions (based on trying to match female alternates to what we already have - all of these could happen, none are too obscure):
Rosalina = complement to the Bros.
Birdo = complement to Yoshi
Toadette = complement to Toad
Dixie Kong = complement to Diddy Kong
Candy Kong = complement to DK [slight stretch considering she has never been playable, but already appeared in DK Barrel Blast]
Captain Syrup = complement to Bowser [bigger stretch, but is Wario's main antagonist/in Wario Land: Shake It!]
possibilities for the 7th character: a Noki (would probably require a male Pianta, then), Mona, Pauline
By the way, 19 characters total? They couldn't opt for 1 more to make it an even 10 male, 10 female? Even the website looks awkward - just 1 empty space.

I will feel cheated if one of those remaining character slots is for a Mii!
