    Gamers back then had some inexplicable hate boner against Bowser Jr and kept screeching "what about muh koopa kids", then when Nintendo (over) delivered, everyone realized that they didn't actually give a shit at all and that it was just an excuse to complain about something.

      Nintendo bringing back the Koopalings was based.

      Nintendo then using the Koopalings for everything over and over was not.

      It's not difficult, people don't hate the koopalings, they hate how over-saturated they became

      yeah, a trip back to Gametrailer and Screwattack is filled with that meme

      personally though I do like the koopa kids just that the NSMB games utilized them crappy, they are boring as pretty much the only kind of boss when they would work better as minibosses and it happed like 3 straight time, they actually were not to badly done in nu-Paper Mario games oddly enough

      The biggest issue is that you end up having all these characters, and nobody is interesting. Also overutilization as said, while everyone else is not there
      All these faceless mooks when you could have characters from paper mario, Mario & Luigi, Mario RPG, DK, Luigi's Mansion, SMB2 (where is Wart?) and much, much more
      Even as generic Mario enemies goes, you'll never see a Rex or a Dino Rhino as a character as a surprise. You'll never see the Dr.Mario viruses, Syrup from Wario Land, Piantissimo or even maybe even original Mario Kart universe OC because why the frick not
      It's just like New Super Mario Bros. It was just so terribly safe in a way, just so disappointingly safe

        Thinking about it. On the N64 gen, all of this was new. Smash 64 had an exciting roster. Mario Tennis gave us Waluigi. Mario Golf gave us 4 OCs we never saw again. Things were kind of alive in a way
        Now you get.... random mook. Yay...

          The problem is that we don't need the same 10ish mooks everywhere. They were there as companions in one of the recent Mario Party too instead of actual characters
          Hell, Nintendo got laughed at hard during the end of the Dr.Mario mobile game when they started releasing ridiculous shit like Dr.Baby Mario and Dr.Goomba Totem instead of Dr.Syrup or something
          Nintendo has these billions of characters and we're always going to get the same boring generic enemies ones every goddamn time

            Yeah but Mario enemies like it or not are iconic since you see them as much as you see Mario throught the game and if Nintendo won't let you add spin-off characters then mooks are certainly the way to go. Hell, they have been doing it since always, its just that it wasn't as noticable before because rosters were slowly getting bigger due to console limitations being broken and that allowed them to add main characters that they couldn't add before ALONGSIDE mooks until they run out of new Mario mainstays after Rosalina. The only reason Pauline is coming back into everything is because if Oddysey, but otherwise they already have everyone accounted for.

              Yeah but that's fricking boring. It's as boring as it could be
              While this is not as worse as, let's say, Sega not maintaining their IPs like a bunch of idiots, it's Nintendo really missing perfect opportunities to bring back a bunch of characters, give some surprises and make it seem fresh while not black holing a bunch of characters to oblivion
              Even the generic enemies could be rotated out for other enemies that doesn't appear as much. It's a if Nintendo is putting their own stick up their ass, uselessly so
              A lot of this is probably cost cutting measures, but not properly maintaining characters is stupid

    I like them, but an issue is that you have to include all of them. I'd rather they have a better variety of characters like Birdo and Diddy should've been in from the start, but they're way better than all the Mario and Peach variations and the dumb babies.

      Koopalings are based but with that said it's difficult to justify them for being playable in spinoffs. It's why I never wanted the Broodals playable either.

      The times when they don't include them all are also weird. The Olympic games have done this, they just included Larry and Ludwig. While those choices make sense, it completely breaks their gimmick.

      It's best when it's like Smash Bros and they're all alts to each other or in Mario Kart some of them could've been alts depending on their size so they're not taking up so many slots. Like Lemmy and Wendy could be alts for lightweight, then Larry and Iggy for middlewight, then Morton, Roy and Ludwig for heavyweight this could apply to other sports games too.

      Bowser Castle DS, I wanna grief people on the spiral

      Wave 6 will have either DK Mountain or Dino Dino Jungle.

      This, Airship Fortress and Wario Colosseum WHY THE FRICK hasn't this last one come back ever?

    there was a weird noticable push to make the koopalings notified as part of the standard mario cast, this was incredibly apparent in their seemingly out of nowhere inclusion in both smash and mario kart in very short amount of time

      It wasn't 'Mario-ized' for lack of a better word. On a personal note, the gold standard for any Mario Kart roster are the MK64 eight, Daisy, Waluigi, Diddy and Bowser Jr. From there on, add whoever else you want. But those twelve should be grandfathered into every roster. I don't give a frick about separating DK from Mario or whoever else, Mario Kart 64 put the series on the map and Yoshi/Wario were also big names with their own series being white hot, they should be embracing those sub series instead of trying to stay on-brand with boring shit like literal recolors and non Mario shit like Link and the Inklings.

        Based and I agree. I dont want Mario kart to become smash bros but racing. If they wanted to do that, they should make a brand new game centered around that (Id play it)

      No console limitations to make them cut the roster short like DS and 7
      No gimmick that requires everyone to have a partner like Double Dash
      No moronic choice of actively snubbing previous characters in favor of the Koopalings and then filling with OC's made with weight classes in mind like base 8

          I like drybones, I really do but he also falls in line with the other "semi-clones", otherwise why didn't they add fricking ROB back? What about Shyguy? The fact that those two weren't in MKWii says a lot about our society.

              Well Shy Guy doesn't even reach the pedals of the Bike so im sure they could ignore it and just mount Rob on the bike, maybe give him a special seat so its an adaptor type of thing and he is controling it that way.

    Boss fights in New Super Mario Bros went down the shitter after they brought the Koopalings back. Even though they were baby easy in the first game at least there was variety. Wow look at him spin around his stupid shell before immediately getting stomped again. 3D World and Odyssey would be so much less interesting if you had to fight the Koopalings over and over. Paper Jam made them tolerable by pairing them up so it's only 3 boss fights. The problem is they're just 7 mini Bowsers with magic wands. It's just boring.

      That works for a game like Mario 3 or World, with console and design limitations, but yeah anything past that is just kinda lame. Even New Mario DS had unique boss battles

    I unironically prefer mooks in Mario spin-offs over babies, metal recolors, and Koopalings. Playing as Goomba, Blooper, and Boo is kino. Who didn't love playing Goomba in Super Mario Party? There's a bunch of mooks they still could add like Whomp or Spike or Blooper. Throw in Boom Boom too frick it.

        Thanks. Lots of potential for GCN picks then. Could see Daisy Cruiser being a lock in for Wave 5. Then it'll either be DK Mountain or Dino Dino Jungle taking a slot, and then a surprise pick like Mushroom Bridge.

          Mushroom Bridge would be such a downer though with all the city tracks we already got. Remember there's still Madrid, Athens, Vancouver, Los Angeles and Orlando left for the next two waves.
          Wario Colosseum would be a way better surprise.
