How in the hell could anyone remove Diddy Kong in favor of PINK GOLD PEACH. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Let's not put effort into the roster. EVERYONE LOVES THE METAL CHARACTERS! Birdo? Diddy Kong? Funky Kong? King Boo? Forget about them. Oh yeah, make room for ALL 7 Koopa Kids. That's what everyone has been begging for.

Also, who the hell DOESN'T love those baby characters? Love them so much, we just needed a 5TH baby character. That's amazing. Beautiful. Birdo can get ****ed. She's still trying to figure out what gender she is, she can't race. Diddy is too busy repairing himself due to looking awful in Smash 4. So yeah, let's get all the metal and baby characters we can. MAYBE WE CAN GET GREEN GOLD BABY METAL LUIGI NEXT TIME! That would be amazing. Yes, bravo. Oh yeah. No one cares about the quality of the roster. Bull****.

 

[Dan]

Yeah!

Let's get the petition for Cheatsy Koopa for MK9 started while we're at it, shall we?

_______________________________

Edit: Here's my honest take. Baby Mario and baby luigi are ok, and that is it for the babies. I could do without baby luigi, but he's ok. get rid of baby peach and baby daisy and of course baby rosalina. pink gold peach is out. i sort of have a bias for metal mario; i like him in there.

I think the addition of the koopalings is pretty cool and unexpected, but there's so many i don't think it's worth it, and it's kind of an all or nothing thing with them in nintendo's eyes, but i think it could work if they just put in say morton and roy. Kind of how funky kong was a random choice in wii.

That's nine cuts excluding baby luigi. The obvious addition is diddy kong, put nabbit in there to promote your new game, bowser jr., etc.

[Shog]

I like the roster though. I would only support more character for variety (and no miis)

 

[SeatreasureReturned]

30 character roster? I think the best Mario Sports Game Roster was Super Sluggers, so I am going to base mine of that a little bit.

Mario
Luigi
Peach
Toad
Rosalina

Bowser
Bowser Jr.
Wario
Waluigi
Daisy

Koopa Troopa
Dry Bones
Shy Guy
King Boo
Lakitu

Yoshi
Wiggler
Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
Baby Peach

Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Dixie Kong
King K Rool
Kritter

Mii
Birdo
Kamek
Toadette
Toadsworth

 

[praline]

Replace Mii, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina, Metal Mario and PG Peach for Funky Kong, Diddy, Birdo, King Boo and Petey Pirahna

 

[ImaClubYou]

Ridley. He'll take the whole screen and drive a actual Humer.

 

[PixelPasta]

My ideal roster would be this:
Mario
Luigi
Peach
Daisy
Toad
Toadette
Toadsworth
Bowser
Bowser Jr.
Yoshi
Birdo
Wario
Waluigi
Rosalina
Lubba
Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Dixie Kong
King K. Rool
Koopa
Dry Bones
Shy Guy
Kamek
Professor E. Gadd
King Boo
Petey Piranha Plant
Metal Mario
Mii

I cut out the Koopalings to re-add some old characters that I miss. I also removed some of the babies and of course Pink Gold Peach. If I could add two more to make it 32, I'd add Cranky Kong and Pianta.

[DustyPumpkin]

Besides combining 8,7 and Wii's Rosters I would also add

Pauline, Nabbit, E-Gadd, Captain Syrup, Mona, K. Rool, Plessie, Kamek also I'd bring R.O.B back

 

[YoshiandToad]

To try and keep the roster the same size...

Drop Metal Mario, Pink Gold Peach, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina and Mii.

Add Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, E. Gadd, Nabbit, King Boo, Petey Piranha, Birdo and Dry Bones. Maybe add Bowser Jr. and K. Rool if you consider Mii taking up three slots with the weight.

Also give Wario his WarioWare outfit for when he's on his bike, and Toad his Captain Toad outfit for quad bikes.

Yeah; I'm fine with keeping the Koopalings though. Honestly my favourite additions.

 

[WertQuadNine]

I think alts would be great with this game, some could have more than others. select them just like how you pick Yoshi/Shyguy colors. Only one of the alts would be a racer at a time. It would pick randomly witch ones.

Mario:
Fire mario
Dr. Mario
Metal Mario

Luigi:
Fire luigi
Mr. L
Dr. Luigi

Yoshi:
Colors

Toad:
Blue
Yellow
Red
Cpt. Toad

Koopa:
Red paratroopa

Shy guy:
Colors
Fly guy

Baby mario:
BB luigi
BB peach
BB daisy
BB rosalina

Bowser:
Dry Bowser

Iggy:
All koopalings

Boo: King Boo

 

[DougX]

I think your list was pretty good @OP. I also have a soft spot for Metal Mario. X3

I'd probably use the OP's list, but add Baby Luigi as a starter. He's been in since Double Dash, would be odd to take him out, and he's one of the more significant babies that are in these games.

Now for my list:

Starters:
Mario
Luigi
Peach
Daisy
Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
Yoshi
Birdo
Toad
Toadette
Bowser
Bowser Jr.
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Koopa Troopa
Dry Bones
Wario
Waluigi
Boo
Mii

Unlockables:
Baby Peach (MAAAAAYBE)
Toadsworth
Dixie Kong
R.O.B.
Nabbit
Rosalina
Shy Guy
Magikoopa / Kamek
Metal Mario
Silver Luigi
King Boo
E. Gadd bby!
Cranky Kong! :3
Wiggler
Lakitu
Dry Bowser

I might have missed a few names, but this is the basic gist of it. c:

[LunarWingCloud]

Only would have 28, including Mii.
* = unlockable

Middleweight
------------------
Mario
Luigi
Peach
Yoshi
Daisy*
Birdo*
Diddy Kong*
Bowser Jr.*
Sonic* (because SEGA and Nintendo are bed buddies)

Lightweight
---------------
Toad
Shy Guy
Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
Koopa Troopa*
Dry Bones*
Toadette*
Lakitu*
Kamek*

Heavyweight
-----------------
Bowser
Donkey Kong

Basically, chuck out Baby Daisy and Baby Peach from Wii, add in Shy Guy and some other neat ones that would make sense given Nintendo's current policies with Mario Kart and adding characters.
