I meant the “basic” colors to mean the main RGB light spectrum colors merged with the Red, Blue, & Yellow primary colors to make the four players.

yup, like 16:9 480p with no need for extra consoles to play in multiplayer? :p

Shaking the remote to float down. Come now, they can do better than that to justify the change of systems.

Well also Blue, Red, Yellow, and Green are all pretty easy to distinguish. If you are somewhat color blind (like me) then pink and red can sometimes be hard to distinguish. If the action is fast, a person might follow the color more than the design of the character.

Yeah, I figured the same. I hope Wario makes it in.

Good call. I'm up for unlockable characters. Hopefully there's a mode where they actually have differences, if they're actually all the same right now. It would be nice to have 2 separate modes for that, one would be balanced for sure since they're all equal.

And since some people keep thinking Little Big Planet, might as well add a level creator while they're at it. Unless that's going to make it look much worse than LBP and it's robust creations.

Um, couldn't they just make a “pink” for Peach?

I think the Toads were there because they can be interchangeably replaced with the remaining “basic” colors that Mario and Luigi aren't associated with (Red, Green, Yellow, & Blue). That probably means Peach is a no go for this, though Wario and Waluigi would be good shoe-ins for the remaining colors.

I've seen complaining elsewhere too on the use of 2 Toads, though, as some other people pointed out too, the two toads could very well be placeholders because they didn't want to show all the characters or potential unlockable characters.

When you think about how many Mario characters are out there, especially in all the Mario spin-off/sports games, and that seems pretty likely, to me anyways…

Should have been Peach so it could be kinda like a throw back to SMB2.

hmm...
I'm assuming the game will be made with 4 players in mind, so perhaps single player alone will be challenging then?

Also why isn't the 2nd toad Toadette? Would we even have more characters?

Still, it looks like fun and I'm glad there's more 2D Mario. ^_^
