Top Ten Mario Characters that Need More Development

Toad needs more development other than that he is a fine character. - Videogamesgal

Maybe different coloured Toads could at least have different strengths and personalities. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time and Bowser's Inside Story had a couple of more interesting examples that were featured for a fairly short time, so there's no reason not to expand such individualities to other Mario games as well. - Entranced98

Toad and his species take out any creativity. I'm fine with them using Toads in Color Splash, but they could've made them all have different designs and better personalities. - DCfnaf

Toad is a main characters but he''s way too generic, he needs a development that shows something particular from him, maybe he wants the best for Peach and want to protect her or maybe is a huge Mario fan and want to help him. - DaisyandRosalina

It's sad that she's becoming the new Rosalina. At least Rosalina wasn't a damsel in distress and had a huge background. Toadette is bland and she's a damsel. - DCfnaf

Like Toad Toadette did not shown anything that stands over the other characters despite she's becoming a part of the main cast. - DaisyandRosalina

Just a really boring character unlike Rosalina.

Rosalina? I hope you are talking about the old one because the new one is lame. - DaisyandRosalina

They should kill her off in Luigi’s Mansion 3 so she can finally develop into something different than Peach 2.0 and so they can finally stop shoving her everywhere.

Definitely. She's barely in any of the games so obviously she needs more development. - DCfnaf

Well, she's better than Peach, so that's one thing... - TwilightKitsune

This is an opinion so it's not enough, we need to see more things from her - DaisyandRosalina

Mario's character is in the same vein of most of Nintendo's protagonists. He's heroic, and bland, and wants stop the evil person. He's just the same as Link and Kirby. - Drawbox

What's his personality? He's heroic. Great...he's the main character and yet he's so bland... - DCfnaf

Little known about Mario's personality is why people like Luigi more. - Rue

Ironically, Mario is probably the most under developed character because all I know about him is that he likes to jump.. a lot. - phensh23

She does not need more development she needs to go down the bottomless pit from gravity falls.

I wish there were more games where she's playable and have a major part of the story that isn't centered around being saved by Mario. Thousand Year Old Door, Super Paper Mario, and Super Princess Peach (All these games are considered spin offs) showed that Princess Peach has potential, though we don't see this in main Mario titles. It's kind of disappointing. - Rue

Despite being the main girl Peach is almost a bland character, the only thing we saw more was the classic princess that got kidnapped by the monster and got saved by a plumber. Nintendo should be focused on other things like her powers or make a game like Super Princess Peach. - DaisyandRosalina

I hate her she is a terrible character.

Yup. We know nothing about her because Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina are all in the spotlight more. - DCfnaf

The Sally Acorn of Mario - TwilightKitsune

She is Mario's mom and Jumpmans wife and she is a business woman.

Pauline was the first lady not only of Mario games but for Nintendo in general.
Despite this today she's way too bland and unoriginal (originally she was called the Lady) basically she's a rappresentation of a real lady without particular traits, she was only kidnapped over and over by DK and never shown a personality. - DaisyandRosalina

Nintendo didn't even fully confirmed the gender, enough said. - DaisyandRosalina

DaisyandRosalina, Birdo is a male, but he thinks he is a female. - TwilightKitsune

@TwilightKitsune that was only for Super Mario Bros 2.

Anyways, yeah, I feel like Nintendo is slowly trying to get rid of Birdo. - DCfnaf

Rosalina and Daisy are way better and underrated than this filler clone

DUH! He's been in nothing other than Spinoffs and he's basically a poor man's version of Wario. - DCfnaf

He's a part of the main cast but we did not know anything about him... (probably because he was created for be Wario's tennis partner) - DaisyandRosalina

He actually has an eccentric personality. It's his background that needs more info. - Cesium

We know a lot about his background but can he just get a unique personality or something? - DCfnaf

Rosalina and Daisy>Peach and Waluigi

Her and Daisy are superior to Peach

Why do so many people on this site hate Rosalina so much? - Rue

Because she is "overrated", "Peach Clone" and other silly excuses. - DaisyandRosalina

I knew those Rosalina Haters would come here. Idiots. - DCfnaf

I hate Diddy Kong they should give Candy Kong a chance he always gets in the games and its not fair.

Why do you hate her?

I don't hate her but she is not a Mario character but a DK one and this list is for Mario characters only - DaisyandRosalina

Candy is a DK character not a Mario one - DaisyandRosalina

That's only me? Anyone? - DaisyandRosalina

Here's why: Baby Daisy was created as a filler like Baby Rosalina, this is not really helpfull for a character.
Despite its unlike Baby Rosalina she doesn't damage Daisy's character (she is basically the confirmation that Daisy knew Luigi and Peach since she was a baby (Mario super suggers)) so we can give her something. - DaisyandRosalina

Have him not be a bastard child of Darth Vader and Godzilla for once.

She was just thrown in Mario Kart 8 without any background or build up. If Nintendo made another game where Peach was a playable character and she could use this form then we might be able to see what potential it actually has.

VideoGameFan5, Luigi is one of the most developed characters! - DCfnaf
