Pauline is literally the oldest female character in the series, originally called lady when mario was jumpman in donkey kong.The last two prominent 'human' characters were Pauline and Rosalina.
As of writing, 167 people apparently have a problem with adding poc characters.I mean, who will answer no to wanting to see a PoC in any cast of characters?
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.Pauline is literally the oldest female character in the series, originally called lady when mario was jumpman in donkey kong.
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
Would be super down to see this guy return, he's a pretty funny idea tbh. Human dude just dressing up as a Mario character for no real reason? Kind of sad they never brought him back.
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.As of writing, 167 people apparently have a problem with adding poc characters.
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.I'm aware - that's why I said 'prominent' character rather than new.

No but only because there shouldn't be any more human characters. I wanna see some actual interesting new character designs in this series.
Human characters in the Super Mario series aren't interesting, regardless of skin colour. You know that's what I meant
OookayI don't think they're capable of creating a cartoon poc without being overtly racist so I'm going to say no.
Don't really have any hopes because they'll end up being relegated to multiplayer VS spin offs like Rosalina and Daisy. The former hasn't played a significant role since her debut.
