Re: Mario reps in Smash
was always going to be a forgettable inclusion. It was a small fish in the massive lake that was Smash Ultimate.
Despite that, I open for this approach with surprise characters now, which is as bonus additions. Mario mooks are just very flexible in that regard, with options such as Shy Guy, Dry Bones, etc.
Or they go in a different direction and tackle another series’ mooks. I don’t know how Zelda fans will react to the only new Zelda character since Brawl being a Bokoblin or something.
But again, it’s hard to compete with Mario’s big three names being thrown around as newcomers, being Waluigi, Geno, and Paper Mario. I’ve spoken before on these three. It’s a massive hurdle even characters like Toad struggle to compete.
And even then, Mario is incredibly lucky most of its big names are in the game.![Rosalina & Luma :ultrosalina: :ultrosalina:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

all made sense to take priority over the others mentioned above. It’s just a question on if Nintendo thinks Mario is well represented enough as is, or if they can add a few more.
Most people seem to be in agreement that
and
are some of the most likely cuts. I won’t deny, I’ll be gutted to see Doc get cut and Mario keep FLUDD. If Mario gets a different, simpler down special, I’ll be okay seeing Doc leave.
For
, I would say she is slightly more likely to be cut than
. With
on the roster, we’d still have an extra princess, and one who’s recently been in a mainline title.
But in general, I think Mario will fare much better when it comes to cuts unlike other series with big numbers, such Pokémon and Fire Emblem, since Mario’s cast is essentially always relevant.
