Should the next original human Mario character be a PoC?
- Thread starter PeakPointMatrix

Pauline is literally the oldest female character in the series, originally called lady when mario was jumpman in donkey kong.
As of writing, 167 people apparently have a problem with adding poc characters.
I'd like to see more non-human characters. Human characters tend to be boring in video games and Mario is no exception (actually it probably has some of the most boring characters in all video games).
Where's the option for "Indifferent"? I've got absolutely nothing against that, but I wouldn't by any means begrudge them if they didn't do so.
I'm aware - that's why I said 'prominent' character rather than new. They still made the decision to bring her back as opposed to using a new PoC character, though.
Il Piantissimo
Il Piantissimo is a human disguised as a Pianta who appears in Super Mario Sunshine. His name is possibly a portmanteau of "Pianta" and "-issimo", or specifically "pianissimo", a dynamic marking in sheet music. The word "il" is an Italian definite...www.mariowiki.com
He could be the new villain of Sunshine 2 if they ever make it. He finds Shadow Mario's (Bowser Jr's) magic paint brush at the end...
Sure. Not something I'm exactly passionate about or anything but a more diverse roster is never a bad thing. Albeit, that being said, I'd be more interested in seeing more non-human characters as those tend to be more weird and unique
As I said in the rest of my post, I blame that on the wording of the poll. I feel better results would have appeared from just asking if people were okay with PoCs being in the Mario cast. Not this whole "Nintendo is obligated to put a PoC as the next Mario character" angle the poll comes off as from it's choices.
No but only because there shouldn't be any more human characters. I wanna see some actual interesting new character designs in this series.
Ah, I gotcha. Forgive me if I am nitpicking your phrasing but, I don't think it's a valid argument to say that brought her back "as opposed to" making a new poc character. I don't disagree with the fact that the next human character should be a poc, just that Odyssey wasn't a "we decided to bring her back instead" situation. I feel like they were making the callbacks and were like, what if we brought her back and did this big todo on the history of mario as a musical number. Not so much of, we need a character to fill this slot, should we grab someone old or make someone new? Know what I mean? I feel like were on the same page and I'm just nitpicking though.
Human characters in the Super Mario series aren't interesting, regardless of skin colour. You know that's what I meant
