Top Ten Super Mario Games with the Worst Character Roster

The Top Ten
1 Super Mario Run

Let's see...
Only ten characters in a game that can easily contain like 20 characters, no Daisy, Wario, Rosalina, just some old faces and Toadette, which is not that bad but I think seeing any of those characters was better.
And the worst part... 5 characters out of ten are just recolored Yoshis... REALLY NINTENDO?! People complained so much about Mario Kart 8 and his roster with a lack of variations, thing that was at least fixed in the Deluxe version, but THIS?! This is Mario Kart 8 1000 times worse, in MK8 there are 4 characters that are power ups and one weird baby choice outside... 36 characters, 31 of them are at least decently unique (maybe not all of them, but still) but Nintendo had to do this joke for this mediocre Super Mario Run.

EDIT: now the roster is kinda fixed thanks to the latest update which added Daisy.

Where is Rosalina in this game!

This entire game is not bright.

One of the worst rosters ever

2 Mario Golf 64

So many random humans here

3 Mario Kart 8

By far the most terrible roster out of any game. There are so many useless characters that appear just so they can fill up the trashcan that literally nobody plays as. Examples are Pink Gold Peach, Cat Peach, Metal Mario, Baby Rosalina, and more. They could've just as easily added Wiggler or Kamek.

Garbage characters: peach, Daisy, rosalina, baby mario, baby luigi, baby peach, baby Daisy, baby Rosalina, metal mario, pink gold peach, dry bowser, Tanooki mariio, gold mario, cat peach (oh great another one), bowser jr, Ludwig, Morton, roy, wario.

Pink gold peach didn't ruin it the koopalings did they ruined every game since the 90s, I want to see them die

Rosalina is garbage. Same with the Koopalings, the babies, and the power ups.

4 Mario Tennis: Power Tour

To all those Pink Gold Peach haters, I would much rather play as her than some random royal academy tennis player because at least Pink Gold Peach is a clone of a MARIO character! These royal academy tennis players has NOTHING to do with Mario!

5 Mario Party Advance

Just 4 Characters Seriously!? They Could added More Characters like Wario, Waluigi, Daisy etc!

I like the 4 characters, but there should've been more characters!

Only four basic characters

6 Mario Tennis Open

I sure as hell don't get the appeal this game has. However, I understand that for some reason, they did not have time for Rosalina but Metal Mario the Pointless instead. - The Ultimate Daredevil

It's pretty poor

7 NES Open Tournament Golf
8 Super Mario Strikers

Pretty laughable

9 Mario Kart DS

Small, lacks Koopa, Shy Guy isn't properly playable and has a non-Mario character instead of veterans like Birdo or Bowser Jr. Garbage.

Good news about this roster, they replaced Koopa with Dry Bones. Bad news, they added ROB.

10 Mario Party 9

It's actually pretty goo0d

The Contenders
11 Mario Kart 7

They should have replaced Metal Mario with Waluigi, Waluigi Pinball is a retro track but Waluigi isn't playable? That's an insult to Waluigi fans, Well, it's still my favourite mario kart game. At least we didn't get baby characters and Pink Gold Peach. I still liked the roster, it included four other new cool characters at least, Shy Guy, Honey Queen, Wiggler and Lakitu.

Honey Queen,Wiggler,Metal Mario,Lakitu? And no Waluigi? I'm not a Waluigi fan but it bothers me that Waluigi Pinball is a retro track in this game and he's not even playable. At least we have shy guy

12 Mario Kart: Super Circuit
13 Mario Party 5
14 Mario Kart Arcade GP VR
15 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Let's see who's here! Bowser jr, gold mario, pink gold peach, metal mario! Come on Nintendo give us diddy and funky back

Like let's be real the only good new tey added was King Boo and BNowser Jr., the rest that were new, were crap, like Dry Bones, or Gold Mario

16 Super Mario Party
17 Mario Golf Advance Tour
18 Mario Golf GBC
19 Mario Sports Superstars

Pink Gold Peach automaticilly makes the roster bad, sadly. Considering the other choices except for Metal Mario are phenomenal!

Rosalina, the babies, and the metals are the reason why this bad game's roster is so awful.

20 Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash

It has Rosalina so it's automatically garbage.

It's actually good

21 Mario Kart: Double Dash

No Dry Bones, no fun. Plus, Paratroopa sucks.

22 Mario Party 2

Surprised no one points this out. They literally reused the same characters from the 1st game. COME ON. Would it have killed to add one more character? Maybe Daisy (since at this point I don't care, I just want something different in rosters)?

Super poor roster
