* Toadette. She initially was just a simple DistaffCounterpart made to partner with Toad in ''VideoGame/MarioKartDoubleDash'', and her appearances after would only be shifted to spin-offs and supporting roles. Despite that, she still managed to gain a sizeable fanbase with many people liking her [[{{Moe}} adorable design]] and [[NiceGirl pleasant personality]]. ''Nintendo'' seems to have notice this, as she would go on to appear in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'', her first appearance in a mainline game, and later be full on PromotedToPlayable in ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosUDeluxe'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosWonder'', much to everyone's delight.

* Pauline has historically been a bit character in the ''Mario'' series, despite being important in a meta sense. She has, however, long sported a small but loyal fanbase who want her to appear in more games such as ''VideoGame/MarioKart''. Her reappearance in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' not only pleased many of her old fans, but earned her plenty of new ones thanks to her [[CharacterDevelopment newfound independent streak compared to her previous appearances]] and [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h1IHvzwUd6w# dazzling stage presence and singing voice,]] leading many to predict (and desire) for her to effectively become "the new Rosalina" by becoming a staple in the ''Mario'' spinoff titles or even staying a recurring character in the main series. So far, Pauline made her playable debut in ''[[VideoGame/MarioTennis Mario Tennis Aces]]'' as a post-release playable character, and then got added into the gacha of ''[[VideoGame/MarioKart Mario Kart Tour]]'' via a special event. In ''[[VideoGame/MarioGolf Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'' she's part of the base roster too.

* Waluigi started out as a character solely to mirror Mario and Wario's rivalry by giving Luigi an enemy, completely lacking a personality beyond being overconfident and narcissistic. Since then, Waluigi has steadily increased in popularity over the years, even earning himself several appearances in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series as an Assist Trophy. The biggest reason he's so popular is thanks to ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily'', where the fans of the series were able to see Waluigi in a different (and crazier, and funnier) light. He also became more of a mischievous trickster with flairs of TragicVillain and ButtMonkey thrown in as more games came out to give him a better degree of characterization than just "rival to Luigi", got some awesome music and stages to his name (particularly Waluigi Pinball in ''VideoGame/MarioKartDS''), and was given [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments increasingly hilarious mannerisms and roles]] in the games he appeared in (even serving as the BigBad in ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolutionMarioMix''). All of this combined with his early years as TheScrappy fading steadily into the realm of distant memory have earned him so much more positive reception in recent years that [[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2018/06/12/waluigi-was-robbed-and-humiliated-by-nintendo-and-his-fans-are-furious/?utm_term=.938b8bd31618 demand for him to be included as a playable fighter in]] ''Super Smash Bros''. or even given his own game to star in is prevalent [[MemeticMutation across the internet]].
