People, Wario is a filler character, in a way. Well, maybe not a filler, but he was made to be Mario's opposite. There fore, Waluigi could be Luigi's opposite. Which he is. So, in that perspective, he could be seen as no more a filler character than Wario. In THAT perspective...
Also, Toad having a LARGE part in MANY games? I don't think so...in the original Mario games, he just stood at the end of every 4th level, and said "Princess isn't here".
And the one game he DID have a major role in sucked. The mario broth. 2 or whatever, when you battle Wart...that whole game strayed to far from the original Mario game play, and sucked (in my opinion). I don't think Toad has much more of a chance than Waluigi...
wtf are you talking about, SMb 2 is awsome, it was way better than the original. Who cares if it strays far in your opinion, it sold well and is one of the more popular games of all time. Plus it had way more secrets than any Mario game to date, and was the start of many important Mario characters.
Sorry, I don't see a small, mainly unimportant character in most games gaining significance for hosting a side scrolling 3-D board game...but thats just me...
B4 any one says we're offtopic, think again. We are arguing (kinda, i guess) about how much more Toad deserves to be in than Waluigi...
Just saying that cuz some people (they may not even be on this thread) forget what they read on the last post as soon as they look at another.
So think of that as a reminder if you forgot...IF...
lol
Lol, that is what people said about Wario when they first made him. Tons of now big characters started off with minor rolls.
Peach: Was a replacement for that one girl in Donkey Kong in Super Mario Bros, who stuck with the Mario franchise, and is a staple on video gaming.
Luigi: Was made in Mario Bros as a second player, and is easily one of the msot reconizable characters in all of video gaming.
Bowser: He was a replacement for Donkey Kong so Donkey Kong could branch off in Super Mario Bros, and was replaced with Wart in Super Mario Bros 2. Then, the developers of Super Mario Bros 3 decieded to use Bowser over Wart or a entirely new villian, and he is easily the most reconizable villian in all of video gaming.
Wario: Was meant to be a Mario clone (sorta) with powers similar to Mario's in Super Mario Land. He was put in the game because either Nintendo wanted another Mario Villian, or people didn't want to fight Bowser (again). Then he returned in Wario's Woods, and was in the Mario Kart series, and in Super Mario World. He was a filler character, but continued getting bigger in Mario Party, Mario Golf, and Mario Tennis. Of course there was Wario Land and Wario World, which ultimately leading off to the successful Wario Ware.
^^^ With those, basically all of them were replacements/filler characters, so that proves Waluigi can make it. Waluigi as a playable character in SSBB would simply jumpstart him, possibly leading into his own series, or more likely playing a more important roll in the Mario Franchise. As for Toad, c'mon he plays a minor roll, Waluigi and Bowser Jr, and Paper Mario are way more likely and better choices for SSBB. They play a much more important roll in the Mario Franchise, lol!
