Why was Funky Kong in over Dixie and K. Rool in the first place?I don't remember that actually. Well whatever, I just hope Bowser Jr. makes it in.
Him, Birdo and Diddy Kong are the only characters remaining that can't be cut imho.
Hopefully Dixie, Cranky, Funky, Dry Bowser and Dry Bones make it in too.
And also a couple of new ones we're not expecting. I think a 40 character roster is possible.
I'd be completely fine with Funky being cut for a more important DK character. Overall, my hopes for the DK section of the MK roster are Donkey, Diddy, King K. Rool, Dixie, and Cranky in that order.
As for other characters, I hope we see at least one Mario RPG character. Personally, I'd want Fawful, Goombario, and Koops.
And maybe Geno is Nintendo biters with all the legal stuff.
