Super Mario 3D CAT

[Tellis]

Not to mention the Lumas doing just fine running a spaceship of Mario's face without Rosalina's help. I'd understand your complaint if the Mario series has ever given any fucks about its story making any sense or having any sort of real continuity beyond vaguely connecting games by way of recurring characters, but it's... never done that.

Like, seriously, the motivations of a hidden unlockable character is probably the most minor offense they've ever made. Like, uh, where are the Koopalings from? Is Bowser Jr. related to them? How come the kings from Super Mario Bros. 3 never returned? Is the Mushroom Kingdom encompassing of the entire universe or is it small despite it constantly being in a different form in every game? It's all stuff that's completely periphery to the actual gameplay (which is what the Mario platformers have always been about first and foremost), so I don't see why they'd need justification for this, even if she was actually normally part of the storyline.

But just to reiterate, she's an unlockable hidden character. She... doesn't need an explanation or motivation. Kriven, I can understand it possibly being a want of yours that the story mattered more in the main Mario series, that's a valid thing to say, but to complain about this one instance is kind of silly, to be entirely frank.

ANYWAY, I am so excited for this game. I want it. I don't have a Wii U. But I want it.
