I don't really consider Donkey Kong part of the Mario Franchise at this point. Or rather, I don't consider Donkey Kong Country to be part of the Mario Franchise. The only time any characters other than Donkey Kong himself have appeared in anything was Diddy in Mario Party DS.

I suppose you're not counting the numerous sport spin-offs then?

Even if we're focusing on just the core Mario characters I think five reps per franchise(not counting alternate forms) is probably the max it should go up to. There are numerous other franchises that don't have any representation at all.

[up][up][up] I actually completely forgot that Diddy was in Mario Kart (also Funky).

Dixie, K. Rool, Baby Donkey Kong, and a generic Kritter have also been playable in the sports spin-offs.

I don't really feel that counts DK being in Mario though.

The way I see it, they're separate series set in the same general universe.

DK and Wario have very little to do with Mario these days. They mostly do their own thing.

I sure said that!

Yoshi is more tethered to the Mario Series than Wario or DK, but I'd still consider it its own series.

I'd call it more of a sub-series than DK or Wario, personally. Yoshi is intrinsically tied to Mario, whereas you might not realize the other two are, just by playing their games.

Technically they're all Donkey Kong characters, though.

Well, I don't know if I'd say that...Mario and Pauline are the only ones who were actually introduced in a Donkey Kong game.

Good to see Diddy Kong back. And look at those fingernails.

Whatever his manicurist did, they did a good job.

I must admit, Diddy's gigantic hands in that picture kind of freak me out...

It's for hitbox purposes in a game that's cartoonish to begin with. I don't see what the problem is.

Wait, what is Samus doing in this shot? Is that a move she had before?

She's doing the fusion dance with Lucario, apparently.

It similar to shinespark dash minus glowingness .-. And slightly different position

Honestly, no clue, it looks like running animation but it is in air ._.

Air dodge, maybe?

Seeing that glowing spot on her hand makes me hope Samus uses the grapple lasso this time, it was more useful than the grapple beam ever was and would allow for cooler looking moves (like catching them in the lasso and shooting with the wave or spazer beam in place of holding strike everyone else does or maybe shocking them with grapple voltage)

Hmm, you think Jigglypuff should be replaced by Meowth? He's continued to be a major of the anime since the beginning, while Jigglypuff stopped appearing looong ago.

Maybe if they found someone suitable to take her moveset.
