Ganon:
Ganondorf:
See the difference? Of course, Ganondorf is just an alternate form of Ganon, however, GanonDORF as a form of Ganon has appeared first in OoT. It DOES make sense, since Sheik first appeared in OoT, as well.
Yet, unlike Lip, they haven't appeared in more than one game (not counting Smash).
Still the Star Fox franchise never was outside of their spaceships.
No, Lip is not a joke. She probably would be more popular if Nintendo of America wouldn't have been too afraid of fairies for a puzzle game and put in the first installment of the series Yoshi characters instead.
Like Dr. Mario, Panel de Pon / Tetris Attack is one of Nintendo's successful puzzle game series, and has popped up in every Puzzle collection by Nintendo to date. Lip was the main character in the first installment and made more appearances in sequels, and therefore is not a joke and a character who HAS to be considered. Not to mention the fact we need more female characters in the roster.
Or better said: She has more right to be in the game than any Krystal, FE character, Dark Samus or Waluigi.
