GUYS I THINK WE MAY GET TOAD, CHARMY AND ESPIO PLAYABLE IN THIS GAME!

-Toad- In the trailers, you only see colored toads in the cameras and in football teams. The only "normal toad" is a referee AND has an orange jacket. (This happened with Ultra Smash (except the toad had a black jacket) and Toad is playable in that game)
-Charmy and Espio- They used to be refrees, for example, in the Long Jump they were the ones that calculated your distance BUT in the newest trailer, when Waluigi is doing Long Jump, they have been replaced by Orbot and Cubot! COINCIDENCE? I DON'T THINK SO

Tell me what you think about this "discovery" :p

If Toad is in, does that pave the way for Toadette?

Also Cream doesn't seem to be a referee. Playable?

Will Storm, Omega and Big complete any of the trios?

With Dry Bones being a random choice for the sole generic enemy, is someone else coming? Boo?

Also according to this poll for M&S London, people really wanted a girl named Tikal. Does she have any importance or chance to get in? (I'm genuinely asking for this one cause I have no idea lol).

Oh my goodness me! I actually conducted that very poll lol. Talk about surreal! :D

As far as Tikal's popularity goes, I have a feeling she greatly benefited from having held the poll on the SEGA Forums where a lot of the older Sonic fans still congregate.

Still, I think she would be an interesting pick!

Now I'm wondering which slightly obscure Mario character would get tons of requests if I held something similar on this site?  :p



 
Ohhh no wonder I was impressed by the mature responses to people. :p  While most of the good characters are already in the roster, there are still a good few left. I'd say Nabbit would've been the popular but obscure choice but he's already on the roster. :p But here's a few ideas:

Muh females - These are definately lacking on the Mario side.
Pauline - would make the male/ female human ratio completely even. She has a huge history with Nintendo but as for popularity I think she'd get the "eh, may as-well" vote rather than people actually wanting her.

Birdo - regular apin-off character like Daisy/Waluigi. But gets more hate than popularity.

Toadette - very popular but needs Toad first.

Sprixie - new but important and I'd be interested to see how she'd fare against other veterans.

Vivian - You wanted obscure. :p You won't get a female character much more popular than this one (at least outside MPL). The only things holding her back is that she's 1) obcure and a random pick of many and 2) RPG character. This prevents other RPG characters being playable too.

2generic:
Boo - insanely popular even if Nintendo hasn't picked up on this.

Koopa/Goomba - icon status

Toad - do I need to explain? :p

2big:
Plessie - popular, obscure, but was in a main game.

Petey Piranha - Don't underestimate his popularity. Very obsure but suprisingly liked.

I guess you can hold a poll on MPL but the turnouts aren't particularly large from what I've seen in the past. Here's some ideas anyway and I'm sure there are more but these are just off the top of my head.
 
Oooh, I do love the idea of Vivian for an obscure choice, heck all of those choices would be fine to me, the more the merrier!

And as you say, there probably wouldn't be much turnout for a new M&S poll here since most the Mario regulars are in the series now(or seem like they might be with this game) plus there's definitely been a decrease in popularity for the M&S series since the last game was isolated on Wii U and also did not add a whole lot to the formula.

At this point I'm happier just speculating with the other folks out there that still find the whole M&S series oddly fascinating in it's own bizarre way.  ;D
 
You know it's kinda weird for me to say but I'm kinda interested in this game, Well the 3DS version anyways. I haven't played the last two instalments after playing the Wii Olympic Winter Games version since I wasn't interested in them but I think I'll give it another go with the series with the 3DS instalment since I'm not gonna bother with the Wii U version because motion waggle, so this will be the game I'll look out for next year.
 
We have a new overview trailer! Trailer is in Japanese.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alkmiJBveWs

It seems to have 40 characters playable, 20 from Mario, and 20 from Sonic.

Seems that from the Mario characters, Birdo, Dry Bowser, Larry Koopa, and Roy Koopa are all playable. Toad doesn't appear to be. Not even Boo (definitely not him). So far, I think that's four of the seven Koopalings I see playable (along with Ludwig von Koopa and Wendy O. Koopa).

From the Sonic characters, E-123 Omega, Zazz, Espio the Chameleon, Zavok, Eggman Nega, and Cream the Rabbit are newly confirmed playable characters. I don't see Charmy the Bee, though. Nor do I see Storm, either. I only see two of the six members from The Deadly Six playable.

EDIT: Japanese 3DS website is open!

Luma should also update Japan's release date to Thursday, February 18, 2016.
 
Most Likely going like this...

All Around
Mario
Luigi
Amy Rose
Blaze
Bowser Jr.
Birdo
Ludwig Von Koopa

Shadow
Nabbit

Wave
E-123 Omega
Zavok

Technique
Peach
Waluigi
Tails
Dr. Eggman
Dry Bones
Wendy Koopa
Rosalina
Silver
Rogue the Bat
Eggman Nega
 
This is looking pretty rad for this game. I've never seen any other Mario & Sonic games put this much effort like this one, and It's on a 3DS which is quite a surprise since I've heard the London 2012 version on the 3DS a while ago wasn't received well? (I'm just assuming from a lot of people from what I've heard) Either way I wonder how the Wii U version could stand up to this? We haven't seen any of it nor a release date for it of course.
 
So far it seems pretty good, though I do worry about the Wii U version considering how little they've shown of it.

It's definitely strange to see the partial representation of the Koopalings(and also the D6), but I am just so thrilled to see Birdo in SOMETHING again.(Could this along with the Birdo costume in Mario Maker perhaps signal a change of fortune for the dino lady with exquisite taste?! ;D)

I can live with the Event character exclusivity so long as it was done to save space in the handheld version. Will be pretty upset if it's the same way in the Wii U game.

I'm still surprised they took four Koopalings, and one of them wasn't Morton...
Guess they didn't need too much power.

That doesn't really make too much sense only having 4 of the 7 Koopalings playable. They're relatives, and I wouldn't think certain ones would be playable.

It's probably due to limitations on the 3Ds version, but I hope all 7 will make it to the Wii U version. If this is anything like Smash Bros though we won't get the rest.

All Mario and Sonic Olympic games that have the home console game and handheld console game have the same exact same roster, like Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U. So no, we will not see all seven Koopalings nor will we see all six members of the Deadly Six.

Even if we do have all Koopalings and all six members of the Deadly Six, that won't make it equal for both sides of the team. Add three more to Mario to make it 23; add four more to Sonic to make it 24. It would give Team Mario an unfair disadvantage. It's not equally balanced.

Who cares if they're relatives?
Mario's cousin Stanley didn't get in.
The Koopalingsmweren't actually meant to be Bowser's children at first.
When NoA translated Super Mario Bros. 3, they had no names, neither did Boom Boom, so they coined them as Bowser's seven kids, and Boom Boom the henchman, and named them after musicians.
There's been several games were they all didn't get in (Wendy's been dropped at times).
It makes sense, just normally you'd expect Larry, Lemmy and Iggy dropped since they're typically the weakest.
