Whats the deal with mario side games and having a bunch of generic enemies playable? yeah sure a couple of them are cool like boo, but are people really getting excited to play a generic koopa troopa? I know the rpg characters will never ever be seen outside of their games but why not add one off characters that were in main games?

I know the examples I threw up probably aren't exactly the best but I think you all get the point, heck this game doesn't even have diddy kong

I really like playing as the bee in the new Mario Kart.

Not sure what the reason is, but I have noticed them rosters started going sterile after Mario Sluggers came out. Since Bananza is directly connecting itself to the Mario mythos, maybe we'll see some more DK characters in spin-offs soon, but we still have yet to see any Wario-related characters. I guess only time will tell.

Because the regular enemies are more popular with the average person and they deserve to be playable in spinoffs.

I would tell you, but tendies tend to sperg out when you mention the m-word.

they had the star spirits from paper mario in one of the mario party games. dont know why they stopped doing that.

Did they really pull Ninji out of the attic after years of neglect? What about all the other SMB2 enemies?

Anything by Camelot is co-owned by Camelot and Nintendo doesn’t want to pay royalties beyond Waluigi.

are they really though like in the context of being playable? no one I played with growing up went for generic enemies unless it was one of the cool ones like dry bones

I exclusively play koopa troopa in every game he's in.

Generic enemies are more likely to have up to date models they can recycle. As opposing to making new ones for one off characters.

whats stopping them from using cappy for example in the switch mario parties? that doesnt really seem like a good reason

>>717457026
if you mean the mario mandate that doesnt really add up either, thats just the way characters need to be represented

ninji is in Wonder anon.
