>>712461169Here's the fucking thing
Characters in a fucking platformer exist for two primary roles
You either play as them or you fight them
Everything else is a glorified accessory
A gameplay mechanic at best and a fucking decoration at worst
This is Mario we're talking about
They're not gonna add a new princess solely for a decoration
At most it'll shit like the fucking Sprixies but it's hammered in hard that mainline Mario doesn't add characters superfluously especially if they're gonna be long term mainstays
Daisy was only made because Yokoi a game outside of the Mushroom Kingdom and she was only playable in later appearances because Peach needed a fucking partner in sports games
The only other best case scenario for people who do think Mario games deserve a minority quota is through Warioware since that game's cast is more lenient on new additions (especially humans) and do you really think the folks at Nintendo would suddenly mingle the casts together just as an excuse to shut up the gaijin the second a black woman is introduced there?
