Dr. Mario was a returning veteran and never was meant to have a trailer. He's a returning Melee veteran, not a returning Brawl cut veteran(He was never playable in Brawl. He was also added specifically to appeal to those who liked him in Melee, along with being an easy costume to change into a Clone. Far easier than most, bar Lucina and Dark Pit, the only other two who were easy due to far less work, as well as multiple ideas that the Staff had).. People aren't going to remember him as much from the previous game. It's a vastly different situation from Dark Pit's. Dark Pit being an unlabeled newcomer is the problem(not in Palutena's solo trailer, but him not being labeled on the site). Beyond that, there was little reason to announce a veteran like him outside of a regular Miiverse post. He's not that notable, not nearly as notable as Dark Pit who was handled way more weirdly. I forget if he had a Miiverse post, but some were noted after 3DS' releases too, even some Trailers happened later(like Duck Hunt's).To be fair,was never officially announced as a brawl cut returning veteran in any trailers or directs even when
Character reveals are odd.
Dark Pit was not hinted at being playable at all. That's not how it works. He was always in Palutena's Trailer from the beginning. If he was going to be playable at the time of the trailer creation, he'd have a tagline. Instead he didn't. It'd obviously take a lot to redo an entire trailer to properly reveal Dark Pit as a Newcomer outright. It's understandable why they didn't. The only thing Dark Pit was hinted at is at best he was someone notable within the game, and he was clearly a costume at the time of the trailer's creation(which explains the lack of a tagline to begin with). What doesn't make sense is the site not actually saying he's a Newcomer. Who knows why. Probably cause he didn't have an actual proper trailer to begin with. One Veteran got one, but he was a special case, as Charizard actually was separated from Pokemon Trainer. This is worth showcasing. A neat Melee Veteran? Eh, not so much.
Really, what it shows, due to the trailers we have; Robin's trailer was made after Lucina was separated entirely from Marth(or planned to be already). Dark Pit was not separated from Pit whatsoever during Palutena's Trailer creation. Dr. Mario was never going to have a Trailer. We did have our unique Veteran trailer with Charizard, and that's kind of it. DLC was its own thing.
