>or that Sakurai has them riding the air ride machines kirby also does
This is the best case scenario, and I think it's what everyone means when they want an expanded roster (or at least I hope it is). Have all the characters play mostly identically, and give them all access to Air Ride machines. Maybe give them a unique weak attack they can use when they're on foot? Plus, almost everyone in Kirby can fly, and the ones that can't can just Infinity Jump anyway, so that's not an issue.
