I think most of you will agree, the Mario franchise is the most popular franchise in the Super Smash series. Most people know who Mario is, but not everyone knows Link or Pit are for example. I also know that many people think there are too many Mario characters in Smash so here are my ideas for the Mario franchise if it were to change. I am including characters from Wario, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi because they originated in the Mario franchise. Also, pleas write your ideas for it also.

Mario: Mario has to stay no matter what. I mean it is his series. Variants: I know some people really want paper mario, but that is just stupid to me. I don't see how he would be very different. He might have a few different move possibilities, but it just seems stupid. It would pretty much be them adding the original mario (pixelated) to the game. Baby mario is even stupider. It is just adding another character to the mario series in Smash, and he technically is from the Yoshi series.

Luigi: It is the mario brothers, so he should stay, but if he didn't... If he were to be replaced, I do not think he could be Dr. Luigi because that wouldn;t make any sense! If fans really wanted it, he could replace Dr. Mario, but NOT Luigi! I feel the same about Baby Luigi as I feel about baby mario. For anyone who wants Dream Team Luigi, I think they can just alter some of Luigi's attacks to match up to the Luigi moves in Mario and Luigi Dream Team. Or make him turn into a giant Luigi ball/tower for his final smash.

Bowser: He needs to be in it because he is the main Mario enemy. I don't think they should make Bones Bowser a separate character, he should be a separate costume instead. And if you are like: "You can't make a completely different image for a costume," look at Little Mac holographic. If they HAD to replace him with another Mario enemy, I would say King Bob-omb because he would make an awesome enemy with his bombs and all. He also is featured in famous mario games like Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario 64.

Peach: I'm not sure. Her and Luigi have similar chances of getting out. Then again, she is the girl who represents the Mario series. If you want Daisy, then go for the costume like I said with bowser. A possible variation would Pauline (from Donkey Kong), but I don't know what the move set would be. Or maybe even a mix.

Bowser Junior: Now that we are past the classics (for the Mario franchise specifically, not Yoshi or the others), these three probably all could be gotten rid of. Bowser Junior and Rosalina are both new, while doctor mario was only in one and skipped one. I don't see any thing that would replace him either, since he has costumes for all the koopa brothers/sisters already.

Dr. Mario: He could easily be taken out and not replaced at all. If he were to be replaced it would be by Doctor Luigi. Doctor Luigi could actually be a palette swap. You might say they look too different but: Sheik and Zelda (brawl), Bowser Jr. and the Koopa bros, Olimar and Alph... need I go on. Plus, there moves would be the same.

Rosalina and Luma: I don't really know honestly. - Wario: Adding these four tomorrow. Yoshi: Donkey Kong: Diddy Kong:
