Top Ten Most Pointless Nintendo Characters

The Top Ten
1 Pink Gold Peach (Mario Kart 8) Pink Gold Peach is a character who debuts in Mario Kart 8, where she appears as an unlockable playable character.

In the first HD Mario Kart we get Pink Gold Peach. One of many pointless Mario Kart characters on this list. At least relates within the Mario universe.

Lazy, pointless, took a character slot, and a clone. Just lazy by Nintendo.

Why the hell is Waluigi on this list? He's a god

They leave out diddy kong for this?

2 Random Humans (Mario Sports)

In Mario Golf and in Mario Tennis we get random humans playable. They sound and are pointless indeed. Who are they? What's their point? I have no idea.

3 Slippy Toad (Star Fox)

A annoying brat. The most pointless non Mario characters.

4 Magikarp (Pokémon) Magikarp, known in Japan as Koiking, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It resembles an orange fish with whiskers. It was created by Ken Sugimori, Magikarp first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels. It is a water type that evolves into Gyarados at level 20.

The weakest Pokemon is also the most pointless as well. Well Magikarp does in evolve in something good but it's pointless.

5 Pichu (Pokemon) Pichu is an Electric type Baby Pokémon introduced in Gen. 2. It evolves into Pikachu. It is in the in undiscovered egg group, since it's a baby Pokémon. It is No. 172 in the Pokedex. It can be called a joke character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, because of its awful stats and weak moves. After its comeback in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it is considered one of the best characters in the game.

The before evolved Pikachu, Pichu is very weak and pointless

Why did gamefreak even create this THING when he didn't even exist before pikachu

6 Waluigi (Mario spin-offs) Waluigi is a lanky self-centered, brusque young lad as he is considered evil and the main rival of Luigi. Waluigi is shown causing local havoc in most games he appears in alongside his partner Wario. Waluigi is not instinctively evil or the antagonist (not counting DDR), as a matter of fact, he shows great compassion for his fellow peers, typically for characters Daisy and Wario. Waluigi is also described as lonely, rejected, sad, or depressed due to his relationship with the Super Smash Bros. franchise, and people outside of Nintendo continually rejecting him. In recent years, people have come to Waluigi's defense, giving him support and even starting a cult following. In sum, Waluigi is the ...read more.

He's a filler in the Mario spin-offs and he's creepy so yeah!

7 Baby Rosalina (Mario Kart 8) Baby Rosalina is an infant version of the major character from the Mario Bros . Franchise, Rosalina . She first appeared in Mario Kart 8 as a playable character and is now one of 5 baby characters in the roster, alongside infant versions of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Princess Daisy .

Utterly pathetic and worthless. She sucks. I love Rosalina, and since I love Rosalina, I hate her baby form. She contradicts the OFFICIAL backstory of Rosalina!

Oh look, another pointless character in Mario Kart 8. Pretty pointless expect she's cute.

8 Cat Peach (Super Mario 3D World)

The awesome power-up is playable in Mario Kart 8 DLC as Peach? Pretty pointless. Eh?

This is so unsettling.

9 Tanooki Mario (Mario Series)

Same reasons as Cat Peach but as Mario.

10 Baby Daisy (Mario Spin-Offs) Baby Daisy is the infant version of the major character in the Mario Bros . franchise, Princess Daisy . She is known for her appearances as a playable character in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 . She is also found as a playable character in Super Mario Sluggers for the Wii .

Same reasons as Waluigi.

He is depicted as gargantuan, even larger than his Super Mario counterpart, with darker eyes, a purple tongue and pupils, and a golden crown with a corrupted power-enhancing jewel. He is considered to be one of the series' most evil villains.

How the heck is he pointless?
