Another thing that annoys me is the fact that people think he won't get in simply because he's a moveset. Haven't I explained this before? This problem is SO EASY to solve. Paletuna is way harder because she can't be confused with another Paletuna or someone else. Toad can be replaced with another Toad. So for all you people who use this excuse, don't try it. It's futile and useless.
Why not just leave him as is. For all you know, that Toad may be another Toad. Sakurai could use the model of that or the Toad then there. Easy as heck. Sakurai does know Toad. In fact, he knew that Toad had super human strength and super speed. I don't know how he knew...... It's pretty weird....
Isn't this actually something that can help Toad? Not detract him. You can say that for the other characters since they had a model too (The trophy stands) but Toad was one of them. Also, he would have been possible in melee since he had running animations but then again, Peach and Bowser overtook him. The reason why he did not enter brawl was mainly because of Wario.
Toad's moveset status is a positive thing. It's not meant to detract Toad. This is what proves as my evidence and second proof that Sakurai is interested with Toad:

It's just that NOW Ridley really needs to make the jump from boss to playable. He's one of the few high-profile characters left. There's just no way around that he's necessary. |
Remember the melee poll? Ridley had no sign of appearance in melee even with high votes. Toad appeared as a moveset. I found it reasonable why he did not get in... It was cause of Wario. One more note, he was requested since the melee speculation days you know.... Why is it that Sakurai would got through the trouble of making Toad the neutral b when he's not peach's FAITHFUL signature attack. There's no negative reason.... In fact..... It boosts his chances.
Why is it that people say that "Sakurai wouldn't break his back to make Toad". In fact, Toad is the easiest to make since there is a model for him already.
Remember, Paper Mario and Jr. were one of the most expected new comers but what happened? They did not appear. Not an assist trophy or even a cameo or moveset. Not even a boss. At least Toad and Ridley appeared in the game. This proves a lot of things. It proves that Sakurai did not care about Jr. and Paper Mario. They said it themselves that they can develop Ridley. The problem is they didn't. They had to make him a boss. Toad was a moveset for a reason. Not because Sakurai had no interest in him. I explained about this before but I'll say it again. If he really didn't care about Toad, he wouldn't have made him the neutral b. It would have been something else. It goes to show that he still is interested in Toad. Not saying Jr and Paper Mario are unlikely though.
What have we learned here? The moveset excuse is useless. Don't try it.
Answers to the generic excuse:
Toad is NOT generic. He's from a generic race but THE TOAD (Toad) is not generic. He's the one that started the whole concept of how a Toad should look like. You know, it's like some guy in the city looked unique and cool so you copied his style. That's what Shigeru did. He made multiple toads (and yoshis) and there! It became a species.
Toad is unique. More unique than Paper Mario and Jr. Paper Mario is simply a paper form of mario. Bowser Jr. is obviously a mini bowser or baby bowser clone. Toad does not resemble to anyone other than his fellow species of course. Paper Mario and Jr. is unique. Their abilities are extremely unique-- I don't know about Jr. though. He does exactly what Bowser does except he has that paint brush but that's the only thing that does not make him a full clone. He rides a clown car, he shoots fire balls and he does that spinny shell attack. Paper Mario is extremely unique. The character is not unique since it's just Mario but what he does is unique. Toad on the other hand is unique in both ways. Like I said, he does not resemble to any main or major mario character. He also has unique abilities such as running up walls, super human strength for a small guy, super speed and using spores and mushrooms as a weapon and defense. All of the 3 are unique in their own way. There's nothing wrong with adding Paper Mario or Bowser Jr. I wouldn't even mind if there were 6 characters in the Mario series. After all, the more, the merrier.
Remember, I'm not letting my fanboyism affect this post. It's a biased opinion but I'm trying to make it sound like I'm not against Paper Mario and Jr. They are indeed great additions and there's not much that's stopping there addition to the game (Sounds arbitrary though)
