I hope the error correction comments aren’t too harsh! I can’t imagine the amount of work that went into researching, recording, and editing this! I think a lot of people commented trying to help you, rather than correct you. This was a very well made video, don’t let the comments detract that. I think it’s prudent to view the comments as reflections of interest and engagement with your video. I look forward to seeing whatever videos you make next! :)
If I were you, I'd actually wait to upload that addendum video until the final wave of the Booster Course Pass releases, since it would be a shame for the video to become dated relatively soon after it was uploaded! Aside from the mistakes, this video was really good and easy to follow! I'm surprised there hasnt been a video on this topic before, at least from what I've seen.
I'm working on a thin technicality here, but she was "playable" a while before Aces. "Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!" has mini toy versions of the prominent characters in that series. Mini Pauline is the last toy encountered in the story mode and is modelled after her modern design.
@@ComfyBoi404I understand where you’re coming from but I wouldn’t really count that. You’re playing a mini figure & not the actual character with her own human animations etc. It’s also not part of a classic spin off series like Mario Kart, Mario Tennis etc
It took Pauline the *actual* entire history of the Mario/Donkey Kong to be playable since she’s one of the first characters… whereas Goomba has been around for less time and was playable before her
Okay but like pauline was only in the first dk arcade game and dipped until oddesey but then that oddesey redesing was enough for 3 playable games while goomba has consistentyl shown up to every mainline mario game not called world
@@UltimateJM_22 you are correct i forgot about the mario vs/and donkey kong series. However those are still very much spinoffs (not on the list because their not typical party games/sports but id argue there more of a side series then even mario kart). Theres only six of those one of which i know she’s not in (the first one) and one of them (i think ite called mini’s march again) is dsiware making it even more obscure and i dont think she’s even kn that one. This only leaves pauline 4 spinoff appearances (or maybe even 2 or 3, ive never played mini’s on the move or seeing stars so for all i know she’s not even in those). In the end she still never got a spinoff before oddesey and oddesey gave her 3 since its release as i doubt she whould have gotten them without her inclusion because nintendo does not really put many spinn of characters in games like that (the only example i can think of is baby mario/luigi if that counts for the rpgs), so although i was wrong i think my point largley still stands
You counted Cat Peach as a one timer, only appearing in Mario Kart 8, but you counted Iggy, Lemmy, and Morton as having two appearances, in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Cat Peach was first DLC in Mario Kart 8, and then like all the 8 DLC, came free in 8 Deluxe. No biggie, just a heads up :)
Fun fact: Daisy is the second female character who has appeared in the most video games (first is Peach) because she appears in almost every spin-off games since the N64.
Man, it's actually kind of a bummer that you excluded the moblie games, because they go for some BONKERS character choices. Mario Kart Tour added in Poochy from the Yoshi series and Dr. Mario World went real crazy. That game had a Goomba Tower as a playable character (yes not one, but THREE Goombas stacked on top of each other) it was the game that brought back Baby Wario and, I kid you not here, made the DOLPHIN from Super Mario World playable.
yeah, I feel like Mario Kart Tour should have been counted. not for the costumed versions of existing ones, but for appererences in it, as well as ACTUAL characters in it. For example; Santa Mario should NOT be included, Pauline's appearance in Tour should count toward her total, and Poochy should be counted as a One-timer
Yeah and there's also Daisy in Super Mario Run (but not Waluigi), which would make her at 55 appearances. Waluigi is at 58 (not said in the video I think but I counted! :p )
Yeah, both Tour and Dr. Mario World basically had spinoff rosters and there's no real reason to exclude them. (Super Mario Run is, officially, a mainline title, after all)
It should be brought up that Mario is not a default character in Golf 64. I believe that is the only time he's ever been an unlockable character in the spinoffs.
Not the only spin off that you had to unlock mario in. You had to unlock him In mario kart tour. And Maybe Super smash bros ultimate world of light adventure mode depending if you count you needing to unlock mario in the adventure mode the first time playing the mode. Of course he's already unlocked in other modes but in The adventure mode you start of playing as Kirby and the first character you unlock for the mode is mario
33:30 - Toad is not playable in _Super Mario Party._ He's one of the hosts alongside Toadette and Kamek. And on that note, Kamek is a Magikoopa. Specifically, he's the Magikoopa who basically raised Bowser from childhood.
Baby Daisy was also in Super Sluggers, so 4 appearances. One character that comes to mind that I think you forgot was Boom Boom, as I think he was playable in tennis aces. Other then some script errors, example with Kamek, wiggler, and Pettie being added in wave 5 instead of 2 for MK8DX BCPass, great video. Totally understand how long and difficult it was to make such a video with so many characters.
To name a few misscounts: Spike wasnt in Mario Tennis Ultra Smash Spike was in Mario Tennis Aces Roy wasnt in the wii u version of mario and sonic rio 2016 Dry Bones wasnt in the wii u version of mario and sonic rio 2016 Shy guy was also in Super Mario Party Birdo wasnt in the wii u version of mario and sonic rio 2016
To count a few more: Baby Daisy was in Mario Baseball on the wii Cat Peach has made two appearances since she was in 8 and 8 Deluxe And it took Pauline longer to be playable than Goomba
Yeah there are a ton of just straight up wrong counts of characters and he also forgot about a bunch of pretty well known characters imo. Also I dont know if he just worded it wrong but I really hope he does not actually think paulines debut was in odyssey lmao
Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, Toad, Boo, Bowser and Koopa Kid are also playable in the Mario Party 4 minigame "Beach Volley Folly", which for example would actually bump Koopa Kid up to 5 playable appearances. It is somewhat of a hidden unlockable though, so I understand if its reason of neglect was just an overlooking.
Shy Guy is also playable in Mario Kart 7, as if you played it using download play with a friend, the person who didn't have the game, played as Shy Guy.
You can still play as DK in Mario Party 5 through the Custom Mech mode. (I forgot what it was called) You'll however have to unlock him by beating him on hard difficulty and he's only playable in the mode but he's playable!
@@cowboyluigi5275 Thank you. It's been long enough since I've played Super Dual Mode that I forgot the name. I used to play that mode all the time back then.
This video felt somewhat relaxing I had a very stressing day and was looking to chill my head, this vid did the trick. Also Bowser Jr being a professional athlete was an unexpected twist.
kamek and magikoopa are different characters, Kamek is the highest ranking magikoopa, being one of bowser's advisors, often being portrayed as his second in command. while the rest of the magikoopa are just any koopa that happens to know magic. Kamek often has his own boss fight or more commonly uses his magic to give bosses an edge just before a fight. meanwhile normal magikoopa are just treated as normal enemies. Kamek is sometimes shown wearing purple instead of blue in games where both make an appearance.
There's also kameks broomstick, I've only seen ordinary magikoopas use broomsticks in super paper mario and nowhere else, though they might in some other obscure spin off
I don't think you're counting any of the RPG games, but Baby Luigi and Baby Mario are both playable in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Great video, by the way!
Mario spin-off games. These always fascinate me, not only because of allowing Mario to play just about everything under the sun, but also just seeing the sheer number of playable characters within. I guess that Super Smash Bros. doesn't count; if so, that would be an extra appearance for Daisy and King K. Rool, two appearances (three if you count 3DS separately) for all the Koopalings, Bowser Jr., Rosalina, and Luma, and also the first playable role of a regular Piranha Plant. Not to mention that Peach and Bowser are in most of these games, Wario and Diddy was around since Brawl, and Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and DK are in all SSB titles. I can understand why Smash is excluded, as they are a massive crossover of numerous Nintendo universes. Mario makes up a big chunk of the roster, but again, Smash is technically not _just_ a Mario series. Another outlier seems to be the side characters in Mario Sports Superstars; the baseball and soccer modes offer a variety of enemies playable, like Goomba, Spike, and Hammer Bro. Aside from that, this video was very comprehensive. Good job!
@@GPXBrent He was specifically not including the crossover characters that appeared. Most likely because of the Olympic titles being just about a 50/50 split between the plumber and the hedgehog.
iggy lemmy and morton all being together in paper jam and now in this list i love how you referred to appearances in as resumes it makes it very fun to listen to
You definitely put a lot of work into this list, however I do think there was some missed characters from Mario Sports Superstars. I wouldn’t bring this up, but if we’re counting Strikers and Sluggers side characters, then we need to count the side characters that are Available in the soccer and baseball modes. Going in order from the baseball game (as a lot of them are exclusive to them): - Toad - Koopa - Kamek/Magikoopa - Paratroopa - Shy Guy - Squirrel Toad - Penguin Toad - Goomba - Hammer Bro - Boom Boom - Pom Pom - Spike (+ Stone Spike if that’s a separate character) The only character that’s exclusive to Soccer is Dry Goomba as they need an alternative skin to each character variant for some reason.
Fun fact: Mario is relatively speaking in more spinoff games, than in mainline games! Even if we count Baby Mario as Mario, he still misses out on a mainline game: New Super Luigi U. And yet when looking at spinoffs, he has perfect attendance
I think a major element there is baseball tends to require a lot of simultaneous players, even at a minimum, compared to most other activities depicted in the various side games. I think its, like, 10 players per team? Then you'll need to double that number to ensure enough characters for two teams facing eachother. Then even more characters to ensure more team diversity so it isn't just the same, like, 20 each game just shuffled across the two teams a bit. At that point, to fill in a character roster that large you'll have to really start digging into side series like Donkey Kong, generic enemies promoted to playable, and some more obscure picks too. This is probably why the Strikers games have a lot of your teammates be a consistent set of more generic Species, like Toads, Shy Guys, and Kremlings, since having a unique character for every player would similarly inflate the roster, and why Basketball is limited to 3v3.
Fun Fact: DK Jr. was going to be playable in Double Dash!! The reason we know about this information is because of unused graphics in a demo version of the game.
Update - Ninji got a 2nd appearence, Spike got a 3rd one, Goomba and Pauline got a 4th, Monty got a 5th, Shy Guy got a 15th, Toadette got a 17th, Rosalina and Koopa Troopa got a 21st, Birdo got a 23rd, Boo got a 25th, Bowser Jr got a 32nd one (I counted) Toad got a 44th, Bowser got a 48th, Donkey Kong got a 54th, Daisy got a 55th, Waluigi got a 59th, Wario got a 67th, Yoshi got a 71st, Peach and Luigi got a 74th and Mario got a 75th. (This took like 40 minutes and all I did was add the Jamboree Characters.)
Wario is ABSOLUTELY playable in power tennis. Played that game as a kid and I certainly would've noticed his absence, especially because the opening cutscene for the game heavily features him and Waluigi.
@@jacksnow54104 I mean Baby Daisy is playable in Mario Kart Wii, Mario Super Sluggers, Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Mario Kart Tour. I don't understand why Mario Kart Tour is excluded in this video.
@@jacksnow54104 In this video I would rather include Mario Kart Tour. On the other hand this video includes New Play Controls Mario Power Tennis, which I would rather exclude because in this game there is no new content.
If i remember correctly Ludwig isn't in Rio 2016 as his main sport is fencing and it isn't in the Wii U but in the 3ds version he done Table Tennis while Wendy appears in all as the swimming guest are Larry in all as the equestrian guest. Also Dry Bones was never playable in Rio and the whole of the Olympic Games. He was a rival character in Curling and Dream Hurdles but you could never unlock it
I want to defend Mario Tennis Power Tour, I love the game and all of these characters have dialogue and funny lines that makes them stand out in the game, I mean, not everyone are amazing but still they have their charm.
Cool video, just find it weird when folks refer to the Camelot sports original characters as "humans" like Mario,Peach etc aren't lol. I get it's mostly a stigma against them not appearing in any other Mario titles, but it's always weird to see them referred to as "those humans" like they're some obscure species that are a blemish on the universe when honestly a good amount of them could fit in with the series general artstyle and tone if they kept being utilized today. Especially if hopefully Super Rush's idea of putting most of the cast in cool golf drip is a mainstay thing, those Camelot designs could fit more.
I sort of understand Larry’s multiple inclusions. Think of it like this, in games where the Koopalings take up a majority of the bosses, Larry is usually the first one fought, Ludwig is most likely the last, and Wendy tends to be towards the middle. Also I find the term “human characters” in reference to the mostly one-off spinoff oc’s sort of odd, as a good majority of the Mario franchise’s main cast consists of humans. I understand the sentiment behind it, though.
You're wrong about Pauline though. Her first appearance was the same game as Mario and Donkey Kong's first appearances. She came before goomba and is JUST NOW becoming playable
19:33 wiggler, petey piranha and kamak was added into the Wave 5 booster course pass in mk8D not wave 2. There wasn't any characters added in the first 3 waves yet until wave 4 with Birdo being the first and only to be added in that wave. Also you could do the same for Pauline since she confirmed for the last 6th wave for the booster course pass along with Diddy Kong, Funky Kong and Peachette
Might as well since Im bored Here's a ton of character who dont count for a variety of reasons but are still playable in Mario games Donkey Kong 3: Stanley The Bugman DKC Trilogy: Kiddie Kong Squawks Quawks Enguarde Rambi Expresso Squitter Ellie Rattly Winky DKC Tropical Freeze: Cranky Kong (surprised he isnt in any of the baseball games) DK64: Chunky Kong Lanky Kong Barrel Blast: Wrinkly Kong Kip Kopter Kalypso Klump Diddy Kong Racing (DS): Krunch Timber Bumper Pipsy Drumstick T.T Taj Wizpig (Note:Tiptup, Banjo, and Conker despite debuting here are not counted due to making appearances in other Rare properties (Banjo and Conker in their respective series, and Tiptup in the Banjo games)) Yoshi's Island: Bandit Tetris Attack: Poochy Froggy Raphael The Raven Blargg Naval Pirahna Bumpty Hookbill Lunge Fish Flutter Mario Wonder and Mario Run: Blue Toad Yellow Toad Light Blue Yoshi Blue Yoshi Purple Yoshi Red Yoshi Yellow Yoshi Super Mario 3D World (+Bowser's Fury): Captian Toad Hint Toad Bank Toad Yellow Toad (Toad Brigade) Captian Toad Treasure Tracker: Archivist Toadette Super Mario Odyssey: Cappy I should preface the next one in saying idk if any of these count as playable characters since they are from the mystery mushroom Super Mario Maker: ?

I was going to say the same thing earlier but it’s there, he just never says the game’s name but it’s on the text of the screen for I believe when a character completed in Olympic Games
This video put me to sleep (and i mean that as a compliment). i was having the hardest time in the world sleeping, as i was sick, and this video managed to get it done. Thank you!!
great video! I learned a lot and am surprised how many mario characters were 1 offs. I’m also surprised toad is in less than bowser and DK, though I guess it makes sense considering he’s the host of a bunch of them, just feel like they could have used like yellow toad or something
Super Mario Brothers 3 is listed as coming out in 1993 during Dry Bones' segment, which is incorrect; it came out between the years 1988 and 1991, depending on the region.
Petey Piranha is somehow the coolest character in strikers charged by FAR like he has so much confidence that nothing else matters except how hard he is currently kicking your ass in the singleplayer mode
This might not count, but I couldn't help but notice that you neglected to mention toadette's appearance in the super mario maker 2 story mode. I totally get that handling this sheer quantity of data can get confusing, but I just felt that this needed to be put out there for the sake of thoroughness. EDIT: Ma boi Funky Kong back in 8 deluxe, making him officially a three-timer
This video is really cool, but have you thought of including Mario Kart Tour as a spinoff title as some characters like Dixie Kong have gotten another apearance there which would be 4 if you included Mario Kart Tour. I'm just curious why you havn't included Mario Kart Tour
Ok real talk though, I was kinda hoping there’d be at least 1 spin-off game that somehow DIDN’T feature Mario in it, because that would’ve been hilarious to get to the end and somehow the titular character didn’t have a perfect attendance record
Toad wasn't playable in Super Mario Party. You also forgot that Shy Guy was playable in the same game. Cat Peach was playable in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as with all characters from the original Mario Kart 8.
I actually thought about including that, but then thought against it. Although I probably should have since I included the characters only playable in one Olympic Event in Rio Olympics
@@wishfulranger22 makes sense, also I forgot to mention that Donkey Kong is playable in Mario Party 5’s Super Duel mode. And also Mario Party E, it’s a Mario party game for the E-reader, every character from Mario Party 4 is playable besides Luigi and Peach

Also Bowser Jr being a professional athlete was an unexpected twist.
I think Petey's awesome, so I'm glad he's in as many games as he is.
It's still a crime that DK JR has less playable appearances than Baby Peach.
this is what i consider not easy to watch, its important to be easy to watch most the time
The fact that Pink Gold Peach has been playable in as many spin-offs as Nabbit and the GOOMBA is horrifying
kamek and magikoopa are different characters, Kamek is the highest ranking magikoopa, being one of bowser's advisors, often being portrayed as his second in command. while the rest of the magikoopa are just any koopa that happens to know magic. Kamek often has his own boss fight or more commonly uses his magic to give bosses an edge just before a fight. meanwhile normal magikoopa are just treated as normal enemies.
Kamek is sometimes shown wearing purple instead of blue in games where both make an appearance.
There's also kameks broomstick, I've only seen ordinary magikoopas use broomsticks in super paper mario and nowhere else, though they might in some other obscure spin off
@@AlphaFX-kv4udthey also use the broom in the original paper Mario I think
Wait and also the super star saga remake
I don't think you're counting any of the RPG games, but Baby Luigi and Baby Mario are both playable in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.
Great video, by the way!
Mario spin-off games. These always fascinate me, not only because of allowing Mario to play just about everything under the sun, but also just seeing the sheer number of playable characters within.
I guess that Super Smash Bros. doesn't count; if so, that would be an extra appearance for Daisy and King K. Rool, two appearances (three if you count 3DS separately) for all the Koopalings, Bowser Jr., Rosalina, and Luma, and also the first playable role of a regular Piranha Plant. Not to mention that Peach and Bowser are in most of these games, Wario and Diddy was around since Brawl, and Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and DK are in all SSB titles.
I can understand why Smash is excluded, as they are a massive crossover of numerous Nintendo universes. Mario makes up a big chunk of the roster, but again, Smash is technically not _just_ a Mario series.
Another outlier seems to be the side characters in Mario Sports Superstars; the baseball and soccer modes offer a variety of enemies playable, like Goomba, Spike, and Hammer Bro.
Aside from that, this video was very comprehensive. Good job!
He also missed out on the Square Enix characters from Hoops and Sports Mix, and the guest characters from DS (R.O.B.), the arcade games and 8/Deluxe

@@GPXBrent He was specifically not including the crossover characters that appeared. Most likely because of the Olympic titles being just about a 50/50 split between the plumber and the hedgehog.
iggy lemmy and morton all being together in paper jam and now in this list
i love how you referred to appearances in as resumes it makes it very fun to listen to
I am pretty sure that toad actually wasn’t playable in super Mario party as he was the host in that game
Toadsworth really deserves more than two playable appearances. Nintendo's really doing him dirty.
He hasn't appeared since mario and luigi dream team
You definitely put a lot of work into this list, however I do think there was some missed characters from Mario Sports Superstars. I wouldn’t bring this up, but if we’re counting Strikers and Sluggers side characters, then we need to count the side characters that are Available in the soccer and baseball modes. Going in order from the baseball game (as a lot of them are exclusive to them):
- Toad
- Koopa
- Kamek/Magikoopa
- Paratroopa
- Shy Guy
- Squirrel Toad
- Penguin Toad
- Goomba
- Hammer Bro
- Boom Boom
- Pom Pom
- Spike (+ Stone Spike if that’s a separate character)
The only character that’s exclusive to Soccer is Dry Goomba as they need an alternative skin to each character variant for some reason.
Fun fact: Mario is relatively speaking in more spinoff games, than in mainline games! Even if we count Baby Mario as Mario, he still misses out on a mainline game: New Super Luigi U. And yet when looking at spinoffs, he has perfect attendance
Mario doesn't have perfect attendance for spinnofs because he isn't playable in mario is missing
New super luigi, u isn't a mainline game
@@HeHeBoICoOl he appears there tho, just not playable
@@Sing-bing depends on who you ask
@GPXBrent no, most if not, all sources say new Super luigi u isn't a mainline game.
Pauline did not debut in Mario Odyssey!!
That was their first appearance in the Super Mario series though. Goomba appeared in the first game in the series.
The Baseball devs must have really liked the enemies and obscure characters
I think a major element there is baseball tends to require a lot of simultaneous players, even at a minimum, compared to most other activities depicted in the various side games. I think its, like, 10 players per team? Then you'll need to double that number to ensure enough characters for two teams facing eachother. Then even more characters to ensure more team diversity so it isn't just the same, like, 20 each game just shuffled across the two teams a bit. At that point, to fill in a character roster that large you'll have to really start digging into side series like Donkey Kong, generic enemies promoted to playable, and some more obscure picks too. This is probably why the Strikers games have a lot of your teammates be a consistent set of more generic Species, like Toads, Shy Guys, and Kremlings, since having a unique character for every player would similarly inflate the roster, and why Basketball is limited to 3v3.
9:45 I’m probably wrong here but I am pretty sure Spike appeared in Tennis Aces, but it’s been a while since I played it
Fun Fact: DK Jr. was going to be playable in Double Dash!!
The reason we know about this information is because of unused graphics in a demo version of the game.
He was likely the backup plan for if they couldn't get Diddy Kong.
13:00 Baby Daisy was in Mario Super Sluggers
27:11 Wrong, Shy guy was playable in two party games, Mario Party 9 and Super Mario Party
Criminally underrated, u earned my sub and like
You have stronger determination than I do. It would've taken me weeks to get the research alone done.
13:04 Actually, Baby Daisy was also playable in Super Sluggers.
this video is so underrated
Agreed
It’s criminal that Baby Luigi, the objective best character in fiction is playable as much as metal mario and less than dry bowser
but dry bowser rules :(((
Baby Luigi sweep
@@chimeratriplett2319don't even compare any other character to baby luigi
Dry Bowser > Baby Luigi
@@Baconator2558how dare you
Update - Ninji got a 2nd appearence, Spike got a 3rd one, Goomba and Pauline got a 4th, Monty got a 5th, Shy Guy got a 15th, Toadette got a 17th, Rosalina and Koopa Troopa got a 21st, Birdo got a 23rd, Boo got a 25th, Bowser Jr got a 32nd one (I counted) Toad got a 44th, Bowser got a 48th, Donkey Kong got a 54th, Daisy got a 55th, Waluigi got a 59th, Wario got a 67th, Yoshi got a 71st, Peach and Luigi got a 74th and Mario got a 75th.
(This took like 40 minutes and all I did was add the Jamboree Characters.)
Wario is ABSOLUTELY playable in power tennis. Played that game as a kid and I certainly would've noticed his absence, especially because the opening cutscene for the game heavily features him and Waluigi.
24:07 I love Dry Bowser’s preferred Spinoff type of “insert”
Baby Mario got that too
I will say, Baby Daisy was playable in 4 games, NOT 3
Baby Daisy is playable in 5 games so far.
@orhoushmand85 Oh is she?
Oh, yeah she is.
I must have combined 8 and 8 Deluxe
@@jacksnow54104 I mean Baby Daisy is playable in Mario Kart Wii, Mario Super Sluggers, Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Mario Kart Tour. I don't understand why Mario Kart Tour is excluded in this video.
@@orhoushmand85 Oh yeah, she isn't playable in Superstar Baseball.
I think Tour was excluded from, because it's a mobile app, not on any console game
@@jacksnow54104 In this video I would rather include Mario Kart Tour. On the other hand this video includes New Play Controls Mario Power Tennis, which I would rather exclude because in this game there is no new content.
Baby Daisy was in Mario Super Sluggers
Bump
7:40 „the only kind of Piranha Plant to play as“ yeaaaa forget about Smash Bros DLC
holy dedication. watched the whole thing, nice video!
Super Mario Bros. 3 came out in 1988, I believe 1990 for US, during Dry Bones you had it as 1993, which is likely the remake's release
12:47 Baby Daisy has a 4th appearance actually. She was in Mario Super Sluggers on the Wii
If i remember correctly Ludwig isn't in Rio 2016 as his main sport is fencing and it isn't in the Wii U but in the 3ds version he done Table Tennis while Wendy appears in all as the swimming guest are Larry in all as the equestrian guest.
Also Dry Bones was never playable in Rio and the whole of the Olympic Games. He was a rival character in Curling and Dream Hurdles but you could never unlock it
I want to defend Mario Tennis Power Tour, I love the game and all of these characters have dialogue and funny lines that makes them stand out in the game, I mean, not everyone are amazing but still they have their charm.
Goombas my favorite enemy and i always get sad with all the spin off games hes not in, i hope he gets in mario kart
Cool video, just find it weird when folks refer to the Camelot sports original characters as "humans" like Mario,Peach etc aren't lol. I get it's mostly a stigma against them not appearing in any other Mario titles, but it's always weird to see them referred to as "those humans" like they're some obscure species that are a blemish on the universe when honestly a good amount of them could fit in with the series general artstyle and tone if they kept being utilized today. Especially if hopefully Super Rush's idea of putting most of the cast in cool golf drip is a mainstay thing, those Camelot designs could fit more.
Yeah, like, why can't they be called mario characters
Koopa Kid was also playable in Mario Party 4 just in the Volleyball mode
I sort of understand Larry’s multiple inclusions. Think of it like this, in games where the Koopalings take up a majority of the bosses, Larry is usually the first one fought, Ludwig is most likely the last, and Wendy tends to be towards the middle.
Also I find the term “human characters” in reference to the mostly one-off spinoff oc’s sort of odd, as a good majority of the Mario franchise’s main cast consists of humans. I understand the sentiment behind it, though.
Literally came to this video only because I knew vampire wario would be mentioned at some point from Doctor Mario 64
Correction. Baby Daisy is also in Mario Super Sluggers. 13:01
8:10 And that was the moment I realized... Pink Gold Peach and Baby rosalina are in more spinoff games 💀💀 Also I guessed 80 1 timers
This is a super cool video! It deserves way more views
You're wrong about Pauline though. Her first appearance was the same game as Mario and Donkey Kong's first appearances. She came before goomba and is JUST NOW becoming playable
19:33 wiggler, petey piranha and kamak was added into the Wave 5 booster course pass in mk8D not wave 2. There wasn't any characters added in the first 3 waves yet until wave 4 with Birdo being the first and only to be added in that wave.
Also you could do the same for Pauline since she confirmed for the last 6th wave for the booster course pass along with Diddy Kong, Funky Kong and Peachette
Wiggler, kamek, and petey piranha were added in wave 5 of the booster course pass, not wave 2.

im going to be honest, i was hoping that mario would be in 73 out of 74 games. mostly because it would've been really funny
Finaly, Someone Know How WALUIGI is Soooooo... Important!

Yoshi
Wario
Waluigi
Bowser
Bowser Jr.
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
Cactuar
Black Mage
White Mage
Ninja
Slime

I was going to say the same thing earlier but it’s there, he just never says the game’s name but it’s on the text of the screen for I believe when a character completed in Olympic Games
@@dawn9422that's weird, would've put it under misc
Well there's now Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Pauline and first playable appearance (by your criteria) Peachette in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Dude your so underrated only 300 views!!!
This video put me to sleep (and i mean that as a compliment). i was having the hardest time in the world sleeping, as i was sick, and this video managed to get it done. Thank you!!
great video! I learned a lot and am surprised how many mario characters were 1 offs. I’m also surprised toad is in less than bowser and DK, though I guess it makes sense considering he’s the host of a bunch of them, just feel like they could have used like yellow toad or something
13:00 baby daisy is playable in mario super sluggers
Baby Daisy Was also in Mario Super Sluggers, just pointing that out, great video so far!
Super Mario Brothers 3 is listed as coming out in 1993 during Dry Bones' segment, which is incorrect; it came out between the years 1988 and 1991, depending on the region.
0:54 I love how everyone looked at the screen when he said “and then”
No, can’t believe you forgot about Sonny. He’s a legend. Whoever he was
I believe that kritter also appears as the goalie in the first 2 mario strikers games, which would make that 1 appearance suddenly turn into 3
This video was super fascinating! Good job
Petey Piranha is somehow the coolest character in strikers charged by FAR like he has so much confidence that nothing else matters except how hard he is currently kicking your ass in the singleplayer mode
21:50 I can’t help but notice the preferred appearance type for Metal Mario being labeled “insert” for a while at first
9:45 wrong tennis game, he was in aces
This might not count, but I couldn't help but notice that you neglected to mention toadette's appearance in the super mario maker 2 story mode. I totally get that handling this sheer quantity of data can get confusing, but I just felt that this needed to be put out there for the sake of thoroughness.
EDIT: Ma boi Funky Kong back in 8 deluxe, making him officially a three-timer
This video is really cool, but have you thought of including Mario Kart Tour as a spinoff title as some characters like Dixie Kong have gotten another apearance there which would be 4 if you included Mario Kart Tour. I'm just curious why you havn't included Mario Kart Tour
...isn't Baby Daisy in Mario Super Sluggers, too?
Yes you are right. (Technically a unlockable playable one along with others but still playable)
Ok real talk though, I was kinda hoping there’d be at least 1 spin-off game that somehow DIDN’T feature Mario in it, because that would’ve been hilarious to get to the end and somehow the titular character didn’t have a perfect attendance record
Thanks for the video
13:00 baby daisy is in Mario super sluggers
I’m surprised that not every koopaling was playable at all times they were present
13:02 as a certified sluggers fan, i can confirm she is as well in the baseball game! (At least i think, its been a while since ive played it
Incredible content, did not disappoint.
Excellent video.
DK and Diddy were both in toadstool tour and Toadette was in ultra smash
Toad wasn't playable in Super Mario Party. You also forgot that Shy Guy was playable in the same game.
Cat Peach was playable in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as with all characters from the original Mario Kart 8.
Justice for Goomba
this is so awesome and interesting. i cant overstate how much i love learning about random useless statistics from video games.. pls keep it up
Nel looks like Chun-Li from Street Fighter. 6:49
Baby Daisy was actually playable on Mario Super Sluggers
Koopa kid, Toad, Boo and Koopa are all playable in Mario party 4’s beach volley folly minigame in extra mode
I actually thought about including that, but then thought against it. Although I probably should have since I included the characters only playable in one Olympic Event in Rio Olympics
@@wishfulranger22 makes sense, also I forgot to mention that Donkey Kong is playable in Mario Party 5’s Super Duel mode.
And also Mario Party E, it’s a Mario party game for the E-reader, every character from Mario Party 4 is playable besides Luigi and Peach
Damn, this only has a thousand views? You deserve so much more, really entertaining video!
Onigiri isn't a ball of rice. That's obviously a sentient jelly donut!
Nice video bro, gotta keep making content like this.
