Ok i'm back after dealing with quite the nasty sunburn i won't go into detail for the sake of common decency rest assured it was quite painful and very nasty.
Anyway back to business since this thread seems to be awaiting my reply.
"You are aware that Professor Hector is R.O.B.'s "creator", right? And that Professor Hector controls him in Stack-Up, right? And that R.O.B. helps him in Gyromite, right?
R.O.B. is pretty much a character that is outside the gaming world.
R.O.B. is just as much a "star" as Professor Hector is in those games."
Of course but you have to dig through the manual to learn that tid bit of info and yet again i must emphasize that R.O.B or the robotic, opperating, buddy Does not physically appear in either game If you think about it he's basically an invisible navi that doesn't talk (THANK GOD) "R.O.B. is pretty much a character outside the gaming world" This is my point he does not star physically in the game/games which makes him and G&W (somewhat) stand out.
"If Captain Falcon was supposed to be repping F-Zero, shouldn't his icon be a F-Zero racer, not his own Falcon symbol?
It doesn't matter what the icon is as long as it makes sense. Wario has two series under his belt, and is associated with the letter W.
Waluigi has no series under his belt, as he does not star in anything. Giving him a symbol JUST BECAUSE OF WARIO HAVING ONE is foolish."
You have good points here BUT you're forgetting that F-zero does NOT have an established emblem like wario ware for falcon using his own symbol makes sense since he is the mario of the series. Wario ware has an established symbol like metroid and zelda and wario not using that would mean he is supposed to rep wario land which leads to confusion for the obvious reason (he has.....two wario land moves......)
The "Mario series" is anything that Mario is a star in. The "Mario Universe" is the connection between games that Mario stars in and games that Donkey Kong stars in, Wario stars in, etc.
And you can't make excuses or excpetions. "Waluigi isn't a Mario character because he only appears in spin-offs, which are not Mario games, but Dr. Mario is one just because he's Mario in a lab coat." Things like that make your argument pathetic.
Also, I would like to point out that by your juristiction, Mario Kart doesn't count as part of the Mario series because it's a racing spin-off, and yet, it uses the Mushroom symbol. Game, Set, and Match.
Is mario the "star" in the spin offs?...perhaps he may have some emphasis in the opening cutscene or the tutorial level but that's hardly enough to qualify as star status. Yeah the game is named after him but what sounds more recognizable after several games called super MARIO bros I'm not even sure there is any other choice name aside in most of the spin offs you can play the game without a trace of him just by simply not selecting him in character select. "Waluigi isn't a Mario character because he only appears in spin-offs, which are not Mario games, but Dr. Mario is one just because he's Mario in a lab coat." Things like that make your argument pathetic. How????? He literally is mario in a lab coat nothing else whatsoever he's not a separate character from mario at all how do you not see the difference between that and a fully fledged individual character??? I mean what if they put a second luigi based completely off the poltergust and made him his own series?,,,,,same principal. Also mario kart using the mushroom symbol is junk tag tournament 2 uses the mushroom is it a mario game?? the mushroom is just an easy to recognize mario item nothing more.
Ok, yes, that "traitor friend" business did happen, but ONE instance of trying to keep a treasure to himself and not share with Wario doesn't make him a full on greedy person like Wario has shown to be.
Also, I already talked about taking the Mischief Star, but he did it in order to challenge the player, not keep it for himself. He didn't take it for his own personal desire, just as a tool to prove himself.
He steals stuff for his own motives not just wealth still greedy but in different arguably more sinister ways.
