Neglected Mario Characters, They need more love.

I was thinking that we should put some neglected Mario characters in there.
The ones that haven't appeared in alot of games, this way we'll be more original but still use official characters.
Captian Syrup, people like that.
Heck, maybe even the Skypop and the Subpop.
King Watinga and that proffessor (Or doctor) from the Wario Land series, perhaps.
Eggman from the Wrecking Crew series even.
Face it - There is a ton of characters out there that don't get put in alot of games but have great potentiel.
Is anyone else thinking that? After all, we don't just want to have the classic enemies that everyone knows (Goomba's, Boo's, Cheep Cheep, Koopa, Ect).

Eggman is from sonic

EggPLANT man is who your thinking off.

And, I don't think this will work. If you want these guys, make a fangame yourself, but this is suposed to be a new, fresh game.

Although, Eggplant man might fit in, at the least as a cameo.

Well we wan't to be original.
Plus your arguement doesn't work, because if we wanted this to be new and fresh, then might as well get rid of the Goomba's, Koopa's, Cheep-Cheep's and make up your own characters and enemies.
And yes, I mean Eggplant man.

Goombas, cheep cheep, and koopas are staple characters.

Characters that were in 1 game aren't.

If anything they could be used for a cameo or something, but not in gameplay. Although, like I said, Eggplant man may fit somewhere.

In Wrecking Crew they were staple characters.
In Wario Land they were staple characters.
And just because they were only in one* game doesn't mean their not famous.
Geno, Mallow, ect.

*Besides spin-offs or brief cameo's

Staple goes for the series, not a single game.

Wrecking Crew 98 for the SNES.
Wario Land 1-4.

All I'm saying is that we can't have hundreds of cameos for characters that appeared 1 time.

If we had Captain syrup, that'd mean she'd have to most likely be a boss, which would take away the chance for an all new boss.

Small enemies on the other hand are fine. But we can't be throwing in every character just becuase they havent been used in a few years.

True, but seeing old characters that Nintendo forgot about is nice.
Not saying as an enemy or anything, but if we have some prize system (I.E Trophis like in Smash, ect) then maybe they could be trophis or some sort of cameo.

See, thats a good idea, but I was thinking something more like this:


It could be sitting on a shelf in a shop or something.

We're only including the Mario characters that Mario games wouldn't be Mario games without, which is why we have the Goombas and Koopas and Cheep-Cheeps but no Genos or Tatangas or Onigris.

They could work as cameos or SPM style Catch Cards.

What, exactly, is a Spoik, a Lakigiest, and a big dragon made out of bones?

Originality, as you said.

At leat i think.

A character from Yoshi's story, SMRPG, and Paper Mario 2.

Not that I'm dissagreeing with you, just pointing out that there have been bone dragons before.

It would be ok if they made short cameo appearences, but they shouldn't really affect the game other than that.

I think it should be hard to find

Like, a cloud that looks like someone, or something like that.

Something you have to really look for.

Like a statue in E. Gadds room or something.
Something you woulden't really notice unless you actually look.

We don't need a ton of useless cameos.

Ah, but there is a ton of useless cameos in Smash Bros and yet that just makes it more fun, right*?
*Totally don't say something like "This isn't Smash Bros"
