Eh, I can agree, yeah there are a lot of Mario reps (especially if you count in DK, Yoshi, and Wario as well, despite them representing their own games too). However, IMO adding Waluigi, Captain Toad, Paper Mario, or Daisy isn't gonna ruin the game or anything (if it's just adding 1 or 2 more I mean). At least we can all picture a reasonable idea on why these characters should get in, as they'd bring something unique to the game.

I agree with this. Strictly speaking, the Mario series is the most relevant and famous one. We can not deny that. I mean take a minute and think about who the most important and highlighted character of the Smash Bros series is. You'll automatically think of Mario. He's always the first option in the roster and the default stage building NPC, as well as the one who appears in all tutorials. It's clear to me that me Mario series is the most vital part of the Smash Bros series. So the Mario universe having two or three more characters than the others shouldn't really be much of a problem.
