    I think Nintendo sees the generic enemy characters as kind of interchangeable. They can leave out Koopa Troopa sometimes, because they can just trade him for another enemy to change things up, and most fans won't miss him. They all serve the same purpose.

  • @TheLSDiva
    @TheLSDiva Місяць тому +106

    Once Birdo had gained prominence as a recurring spin off character, she really shouldn't be considered a weird inclusion. She cemented herself as one of the spin-off staples alongside Waluigi and Daisy (but she's hit mainline now, so it's not quite the same) as one of the main character counterparts (Toadette too to a lesser extent, Toad misses a lot of rosters so she never stood a chance). Her exclusion should be a bigger surprise by the Wii era than her inclusion.

    Great video! Since I’m a huge fan of King Boo/Boo the only things I would change are that Boo being the biggest exclusion from Mario Party 9 instead of Dry Bones, since Boo debuted in Mario Party 5 and Dry Bones debuted in Mario Party 7. I would’ve also mentioned King Boo as a weird exclusion from Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U’s roster since the previous 2 home console Mario Karts at that point being Double Dash and Wii had King Boo as a playable character. But this is a really well made video and tier list overall!

    Imma be honest, i feel like some of those weird exclusions that you gave to Koopa and Toad shouldve gone to Birdo, and some of those weird inclusions shouldnt have gone to Birdo.
    Like Birdo missing from from Party 10, Super Mario Party (Yoshi was there, neither Toad or Toadette were playable so yoshi needs a partner), and Golf Super Rush, Birdo felt like obviously missing characters. Birdo being the weirdest picks in Party 7 and 9, and Tennis 64 feels weird because 7 had DryBones, 9 had Kamek, and Tennis 64 had Paratroopa, and i say all of this as not a huge Birdo fan, like i like her, but shes no where near my favorites

    • @lapse3721
      @lapse3721  Місяць тому +3

      A big thing I’m judging weirdness on is prominence in the mainline games. Birdo showed up a bit in Bros. 2 and that’s it. If it weren’t for her previous spinoff cred I would rank her similarly to Pom Pom in importance.

      I get where you’re coming from here. In games like Super Sluggers and Tennis Aces the weird inclusions do count as a positive, the difference is the gulf between the weirdest inclusions and exclusions. Having Honey Queen or whoever playable is cool, but not really worth leaving Waluigi mains high and dry.

    You have a Koopa Troopa obsession.
    He's cool but like sometimes he's not necessary. Paratroopa and Dry Bones are just better Koopa Troopa, so if they're here, I feel like Koopa Troopa isn't needed (except in double dash)
    My main criticism about the Jamboree roster is having Koopa Troopa instead of Dry Bones, who was there since 7. (And also the fact that there is 0 character in Jamboree that wasn't already playable in previous game, like Goomba in Super Mario Party or Chomp in Mario Tennis Aces (exclusing Mario Sluggers of course))

  • @Navman_
    @Navman_ Місяць тому +3

    19:46 I think the fire variant was a good choice because it suits its playstyle in-game. It has a very strong top-spin which is essentially this powerful, fiery shot that can causes the opponents to be knockbacked and also suits the character. Also, it allowed it to be differentiated from Petey who is essentially the piranha plant representative of the entire series.

    Diddy Kong and Toad have always been my favorite Nintendo characters. Though I grew up with the N64, most of my multiplayer childhood was on the GameCube, including Double Dash. Being able to play as both of them together in that game was amazing. But what's kind of fascinating is how it seems like the two of them are VERY rarely both playable in a game that you only choose a single character for (so like, excluding the Baseball games), at least up until the Switch. The only ones I can think of off the top of my head are MKWii and Mario Golf: World Tour. So it always just happened to work out that any game that had Diddy cut, I could usually play Toad, and vice versa. But in the rare case where neither of them are playable, I usually have to settle for DK.

    • @lapse3721
      @lapse3721  22 дні тому +1

      Very interesting! DK was always my favorite character growing up. One interesting thing that I should have mentioned is that there were only two games where Koopa Troopa was playable but Toad wasn't, but there were several with Toad but not Koopa.

    • @Toadiferous
      @Toadiferous 22 дні тому +2

      Yeah I would guess the reason is that Toad doesn't really have any equivalents that outright replace him. Toadette is literally his "equivalent," but you wouldn't really have a standard Mario multiplayer game where Toadette is playable but not Toad. Meanwhile Koopa Troopa, as cool as he is as an individual, COULD reasonably be subbed out for someone like Paratroopa, Hammer Bro, Dry Bones, etc. And in most of the games Toad isn't playable in, it's because he's a host or other important NPC, so it's less like "Yeah, we don't want Toad in this game" and more like "What role is Toad playing in this game?". Whereas Koopa has to pass the test of "Is Koopa even in this game at all or are we using another random enemy this time?" before you even get to the question of what role he'll play, and that's also a character who often plays a host/NPC role even when he DOES pass that initial question.

    One of my favorite parts of the Mario spinoffs is seeing characters from a main series entry become a mainstay, like Petey and Rosalina did, and I really wish they'd do it more often. Nabbit and Pauline seem to have gotten halfway there, but I was really hoping we would see characters like Cappy, or Plessie, or even Lubba get a shot at being a spinoff star. Heck, give Prince Florian a go! There's so many cool options they just leave on the table, and I get why, but c'mon Nintendo get weird with it

    • @Quinhala11
      @Quinhala11 Місяць тому

      I like Daisy, Waluigi, and Toadette, I'm just saying that they're extensions of pre existing characters.
      Mario is the main character, Luigi is the sidekick/partner, Peach is the love interest, Toad is the supporting character, Yoshi is the pet/mount/animal, Bowser is the villain, Wario is the rival, and DK is the external frenemy that also represents Mario's pre-SMB days.
      Daisy is another love interest, Waluigi is another rival, and Toadette is another supporting character. They don't really add a lot of variety.
