Tatanga needs to come back. So much potential with these characters
Yes
I wonder if Wario still talks to him
You Are Right
Sweet Sweet Gold
Because Why Not
Yes
i like cucumbers
Nokis are actually in Mario Kart 8. They're background characters in both the Water Park and Coconut Mall tracks
Chunky Kong also recently physically appeared in the new Mario movie much to everyone that spotted him's surprise Xp
Baby Wario DID return to another game....
Dr Mario World as a doctor LOL!
He even uses his doctor model art in the thumbnail….
@@awesomeocelot7475No, he doesn’t. Dr. Baby Wario wears a doctor’s coat
@@TeknoThom okay I see it now he doesn’t have the coat. It looks like it’s his dr Wario model but somebody removed the coat
@@awesomeocelot7475 those renders used look like fan-recreations
Ukikis did come back. They actually debuted in Yoshi’s island….
They also got used as items and background characters in some of the Mario Party series
Ukikis hand out the cherries in that one 2v2 minigame where you throw the cherry to your teammate and they have to catch it and throw it in the basket
I really wish they’d bring back Tumble. Why? So Toad can be playable in Mario Party games again. Besides, Tumble fits more as a host because he fits the general gist of Mario Party to a tee.
Only reason Toad wasn't playable in MP Superstars was cuz the game was basically a remake of Mario party 1-3 but still he needs to be brought back and the sun and moon could easily be back
I guess it would be cool if MP had an exclusive character. Some thought Tumble was too cute/kiddy though. Granted MP has always been a bit more kiddy and carefree then most Mario games. (Super Mario RPG and Odyssey have some edgy stuff in them.)
Tumble es mi anfitrión favorito, debería estar más seguido en Mario Party.
you forgot Piantissimo from Sunshine, he can definitely make a comeback considering he found the Magic Paintbrush at the end. maybe he was the reason for the trouble in Bowser's Fury (maybe Jr bought a different model of it or something).
Pine from Yoshi’s Safari isn’t the only Prince in Mario games.
-Mallow from Super Mario RPG
-Peasley from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
-Pikante from Super Mario Galaxy 2
-Dreambert from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
-Florian from Super Mario Bros Wonder
There are also princes from other media:
-Haru from Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!
-Andre from the Super Mario Bros. Side-Story game book.
Both of them were engaged to Peach.
Haru (in the anime movie) and Darian (in "Super Mario Bros. Wonder") may actually be versions of the exact SAME character, between two differing subdimensions; as for the *Sonic* megaseries, I say the same for Archie's Dr. Finitivus and Fleetway's Dr. Zachary - Dr. Zachary Finitivus.
Wait who’s Pikante?
Wait! Mallow's a prince?😳
@@VIP-Princess Yes, it was the plot twist of the Nimbus Kingdom, IIRC.
@@apocalypseofplush Prince Pikante, a boss in SM Galaxy 2
Other forgotten characters:
-Stanley from DK3
-Foreman Spike from Wrecking Crew
-The bosses form Wario’s Woods
-Ōsama and his commander from BS Super Mario USA
Though Spike did make an appearance in the movie. That’s something
@@Linklex7that’s where he’s from! i thought it was a reference to the enemy.
Also the opponents in the VS mode of Wario's Woods for Super NES.
@@HypercatZand the Wario Land 3 characters in Dr. Mario 64.
Bro... and what about geno from smrpg?(mallow,booster,smithy too)
DK Jr is believed to be modern DK and arcade DK is believed to be cranky Kong, so that's another reason we might not have DK Jr anymore. But VB and N64 Mario tennis had him in it!
Actually, Cranky is DK's Grandfather. So Jr is the father of Rareware's Donkey Kong
@@pokemastersalgaming8271 oh I didn't know that
@@pokemastersalgaming8271I thought Rare confirmed Cranky is DK’s father. Making DK from DK Country the real Jr
@@Linklex7 in the "Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze - Meet the Kongs: Cranky Kong" trailer for Nintendo Switch, it's explicitly stated that Cranky is the current DK's grandfather. If you want, you can look it up
@Linklex7 cranky is Dk Grandfather in the Country and returns games
But his father in 64. Which was what the movie used so its just safer to say they are father and son
YO! You forgot Prince Peasley from Superstar Saga!
A lot of characters from that series and the other RPGs
People have said that Jumpman in the original Mario games is Mario’s father, and Pauline(from that game, and not the current Pauline) is his mother. And they have also said that Donkey Kong Jr from those games grows up to be present day Donkey Kong
the last part is true, but jumpman and lady have been confirmed to be present day mario and pauline by miyamoto himself
Donkey kong JR is donkey kong’s father.
@@anthonybenci9035 no
@@anthonybenci9035cranky kong was the og dk
@@UnderFan2014 I know
Hey, fun fact! MC Ballyhoo's design makes a lot more sense when you realize he was designed by Masanori Sato, the character artist for the Mario & Luigi series!
A parasol? Parry the parasol!!!
Oh my gosh that is too funny. I read that in Doofensmirtz voice
Ballyhoo technically came back a while back, but not actually him…
“Thief, you who stole my game…”
No party
Actually, Wart had a small comeback in "Link's awakening"
"Um AcTuAlLy WaRt HaD a SmAlL cOmEbAcK iN lInKs AwAkEnInG🤓" (this is a joke)
that's not a mario game
@@reginaanderson2609 I don't get it 😅
Don’t worry, it’s not actually funny.
It's not a joke
I would have said Spike from Wrecking Crew was the most obscure Mario character, but then he had a surprisingly huge role in the movie.
Thing to note about Donkey Kong Jr.: while the timeline seems to differ depending on the era of Nintendo, the main consensus nowadays is that Donkey Kong from the arcade game has grown older to be the character who is now called Cranky Kong. Cranky Kong's son is Donkey Kong Jr., who is actually the father of the present Donkey Kong.
So had Donkey Kong Jr. been present in Double Dash, he would have been a child racing along with the adult version of his son. Weird.
This!! I've always known Jr was DK's dad and cranky was the original DK, and the dad of Jr.
@Infinite Bits DK JR actually was in the crowd in Waluigi Stadium in MK DD
He knows that, he busted it in Busting MORE Mario Kart Myths.
That doesn't make the character any less obscure
he is in super mario kart
mc ballyhoo needs to make a return immediately😤 he adds flavor to mario party
Agreed. I like him very much
I really like Wart/Mamu. A giant, nefarious frog who rules a dream world is so perfectly Nintendo-y and retro.
Okay, that was an interesting video. I just have some notes:
• Baby Wario appeared again in the mobile game Dr. Mario World.
• Like everyone else has said, the Noki appear in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in the background of Coconut Mall.
• I want the human golf and tennis characters characters back. It's been said that Azalea from Mario Golf Toadstool Tour GBA is related to Daisy in some way.
• The story with DK Jr. is that he's the son of the original Donkey Kong from the NES and Arcade games (Cranky Kong). Other sources say that the current DK (Donkey Kong Country onward) is DK Jr.'s son, making him Cranky Kong's grandson. Honestly, it's complicated, and either Nintendo or Rare has to clear it up for us.
• Super Team was a team built by Bowser to obliterate Mario and the other captains and teams. Probably revenge for not making him playable and essentially making him an item to use in-game.
Actually according to the dk lore
The classic dk is the current cranky kong and the dk Jr is the sob of the classic dk, which means that dk Jr is the father of the current dk
Fun fact: The nokis actually appear in the MK8DX version of Coconut Mall
Dk Jr is Donkey Kong’s son? Wasn’t Jr Donkey Kong when he was a baby while the DK from the og game was Cranky Kong?
Jr is dk’s father
@@anthonybenci9035while DK (that we all know now) is actually Donkey Kong Jr. The Second
This man's videos make my days so much better, how does he only have these much subs?!
I really miss the super crazy intros😢
Bro wart is not obscure
Not being in a single game for well over two decades puts you in obscure by default.
@@Darknova67 Well, his spirit was in Smash Ultimate and he appeared in the remake of Link's Awakening.
@@Darknova67he was in the remakes in All-stars, Advance, and Link's Awakening. Also had a spirit in Smash.
And yes that was him in "Link" seeing as "Mamu" is his Japanese name.
There's also Prince Peasley from Superstar Saga so there's more than one prince in the Mario universe.
And Prince Dreambert from Dream Team as well. And a few others here and there that I can't remember the names of.
Prince Florian
The voice actor for Mc Ballyhoo literally voiced Minos Prime from Ultrakill. Just thought you’d know.
You forgot the Mario&Luigi bowsers INSIDE Stories characters
9:48 Bro that is literally just Chun LI
Cuando yo lo jugaba de chiquito pensaba que era Chun Li.
That's so bizarre Mario's body is wiggling like crazy around the 3:58 mark, I don't remember that happening when I played the game?
Its a bug, mario sunshine has plenty of those
DK Jr returns in Mario Kart Tour
Also: that worm in paper mario 64 that gives you star shards if you answer his question never made a return i think
CHUCK QUIZMO!
Baby Wario actually reappeared in Dr Mario World!
that was canncedel
@@user-nf2vf6nr8t The game released. It was playable. The character was official and in the game. Doesn’t matter if the game was discontinued or whatever… It’s a recent game. It’s the reappearance of the character.
0:56
Fun fact, this game is canonically a stage play. So for all we know, the kings are in reality just actors playing a role.
Wow that is amazing!! I didn't know many!
I always like the bean people in superstar saga
12:30 Donkey Kong Jr. did return as an extra character in Mario Kart Tour
Fun fact:
Mario Party 6 and 8 both have those party leaders that are exclusive to that game and not based off of a character that already appears many times in the Mario series.
I could never forget Baby Wario. His crying was grating on the ears lol.
I WAITED THE WHOLE VIDEO JUST FOR PERRY THE PARASOL TO GET 30 SECONDS OF RECOGNITION?!?!?! 😭😭😭 His story in Super Princess Peach made me cry as a little girl, my heart was so broken for him!!!! His story is quite similar in surprising/shocking sadness as Rosalina's in Mario Galaxy!! Im so sad he was never brought back in any sort of way, I thought he made am excellent companion! Kind of like an extremely intelligent Yoshi, in terms of his game mechanics!
Perry the Parasol technically did come back in Super Mario Smash as a spirit that you earn when you defeat Peach so he did make a comeback.
Daisy DOES appear in mainline games though. She was in 3 of them. 💀💀💀
Super Mario Bros Wonder was the latest one.
12:20 donkey Kong Jr was also in Mario tennis on the N64. For a long time that was the last time we saw him besides Game & watch gallery 4 on the GBA.
There are quite a few errors with this video.
Noki's were in Mario Kart 8
Ukiki is literally in a majority of the Mario Party series
Baby Wario returned in Dr. Mario World
Wart was in Link's Awakening
Tumble was in 2 Mario Party games, 3 and Advance.
Fun fact, Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong from the Arcade games. So technically Yoshi’s Island DS isn’t canon, at least in DKC lore. Since Mario is in the original DK Arcade game.
How I would make both YIDS and the DKC lore canon to Mario lore, is to just establish that Cranky was still the original DK. But Gorillas in the Marioverse look young until they hit an age where their body starts to rapidly weaken as if they were rapidly aging. Which is what happened to Cranky at some point during the early SMB games and prior to DKC.
Maybe establish that Cranky also had two children or that you don’t have to be a biological father/mother for a stork to bring you a baby. Allowing DKC’s DK to be delivered after Mario. And maybe at some age DK would get grand children from a stork. Establishing “grand child” to not have the exact same definitions as us. Or again, establish Cranky having a child before DK Jr.. And that child is what led to the stork delivering Baby DK. At some point, the first child disappears as DKC’s DK grew up. While DK Jr. was still hanging around. And maybe after the first Mario Kart, DK Jr. decided to move away to have his own adventures. Leaving just Og DK and DKC’s DK.
Also, around the time the Donkey Kong trilogy on Arcade and the GB game took place, is when Mario vs. Donkey Kong took place.
Wart actually might be a dream creature since the only other time he is seen is in the Legend of Zelda link’s awakening he appears this time as mamu a frog idol of sorts but uses the same design as wart. he teaches you the frog song of soul which can bring alive long dead things. But oddly enough it’s later revealed link’s awakening is a dream link is sharing with the wind fish meaning the only times wart appears is in dreams hence me leading to believe he is a dream creature
14:22 The Prince of the bean bean kingdom in Mario and Luigi Superstar saga is the Prince I remember in any Mario game. I didn't see you even mention the Mario and Luigi games. There are a lot of characters in that that you missed out on
The reason we don't see Donkey Kong Jr. is because he's DK's father!
In case you don't know (so just Infinite Bits), the Donkey Kong from the arcade game is actually Cranky Kong, DK's full legal name is Donkey Kong the third.
just a question, where did you get that 3D Tatanga render?
Aside from the manual (for SMB1) mentioning _both_ of Peach's parents, the Valiant comic book series depicts Peach's father
Wart did make a return but not in a Mario game. He was in The Legend of Zelda Link’s Awakening, which was, spoiler alert, all just a dream. Also, a misconception is that Donkey Kong Jr is NOT the son of Donkey Kong, but is the son of Cranky Kong. Donkey Kong Jr is the father of the Donkey Kong from the Donkey Kong Country series.
Love videos like these, keep up the good content
Tatanga and Wart need to come back as villains
Wart would've fit well in Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Tatanga would've fit very well in Super Mario Galaxy
2:53 Dr. Mario World? Remember? He made a return in that game.
WE NEED MORE BLUE MARIO TENNIS REFEREE
Baby Wario was in the Mario movie (some people will argue hes not a baby but a toddler but we dont know how old he was in the scene)
10:50 And then there’s Chunky, he’s dead. Except death is not an excuse in this game because Wrinkly Kong is in it.
"A parasol?"
*Hat noises*
"PERRY THE PARASOL!?!?!?"
MC Ballyhoo and the Chimp always have a place in my Wii-loving heart.
12:05
Like I said in a different comment, he’s the son of Cranky Kong. Not Modern DK. Since Cranky Kong is Arcade DK.
3:31 - There's an owl character in "Super Mario Land 2" who helps Mario out, though he's just a moving platform...
Actually, Donkey Kong Jr. is canonically the modern Donkey Kong. His father was the one we see in the original Donkey Kong series in the arcade and on the NES. No, this isn't a headcanon, this is canon.
I remember Mc ballyhoo (Or DJ Hallyboo as I'm familiar with) for one simple reason, Fnf: Mario's Madness V2's song: No Party! It sounds amazing.
Ukiki is literally so adorable..
4:15 they’re an animal crossing reference/Easter egg
What’s funny is that Wart came back in link’s awakening, a Zelda game of all things. But link’s awakening is also a dream, which could make him some emperor of dreams or something cool like that
Tiny kong also appears in mario super sluggers, diddy kong racing ds, she's not that forgotten of a character, and chunky appeared in the super mario bros movie.
Edit: DK junior is a peculiar case, as per official cannon, Cranky Kong is actually the Donkey kong from the original arcade game, now don't ask me how that works with Mario and Pauline still looking in their early to mid 30's and cranky looking like he's about to hit 90 but that's the official canon some speculate that given the pauline in the original arcade is red hair and the current one is brunette and the mario in the arcade looks different than current mario that both are ancenstors of the current characters, as for Junior that's were it becomes complicated, for starters, yes Junior was scrapped from the Mario Universe, but Nintendo can make up their minds, in some explanations it is said that Junior is the father of the current DK, but more recent media and games like the movie, show cranky as DK's father instead of grandpa making him a grown up Junior, so there you have it, either the father of current DK or Current DK himself, Junior is scrapped for good.
I think there was a really good Mario fan game where Tatanga was the main villain
3:11 The thing is there was an owl in Super Mario Land 2. Well actually I guess there was a few different owls at one level in that game and they were much larger and you had to stand on their heads to get flight. Although I wonder if hoots has any relation to those big owls that carry wario around in wario Land two and three?
12:07
I have a headcannon that Donkey Kong Jr grew up to be the Donkey Kong from Donkey Kong country.
It’s too bad that Nintendo doesn’t plan on re-releasing any of the old games from the Nintendo DS (like Super Princess Peach) so that some of us who have had gotten a DS in the past could experience playing those games again.
Donkey Kong Jr is actually Donkey Kong’s dad because he’s Cranky’s son & DK is Cranky’s Grandson
I remember the Noki's. Outside Noki Bay, they appeared in, Gelato Beach, Pinna Park, and Sierna Beach. The old man noki is tied to one of the biggest Super Mario Sunshine mysteries, the book. His grandson is memorable by association, and the momma and baby noki are cute. There's also another raccoon appears in Noki Bay.
Nice video!
“i was playing mario party 8” “ukikis didn’t come back” … ukikis we’re in a mario party 8 mini game
If I had to choose one of those characters (specifically character species) to return, it would be tanukis (aka "raccoon dogs") (Super Mario Sunshine design)
I feel like Ukiki has actually been pretty well remembered, considering they're the defacto small monkey creatures when the Kongs aren't around, and have even made a number of appearances in the Mario party Games
What is the song that starts at 13:33 it’s so familiar someone please help sounds like Mario kart but can’t find it
Yoshi star galaxy - mario galaxy 2
Wart is a peculiar case, as Mario 2 is just a reskin of a japanese only game called doki doki panic technically NONE of the enemies there are mario games persay, but part of the doki doki panic pantheon, birdo and shyguys were IMPLEMENTED into the mario universe later on, but they were not mario characters in the beggining.
Ukiki came from Yoshi's Island and has appeared many Yoshi games since + some Mario spin-off games. Latest being Mario Party Superstars (2021).
I would argue other forgettable characters are firebrand and thunderhand, they are like Brighton and twila's bean versions and are the ones who teach fire hand and thunder hand to mario and luigi, they might not be as forgettable, but give it 10 more years and no one will remember
Mc ballyhoo is the goat I will never forget him
Hey I know some characters you forgot in Mario hoops 3 on 3/Mario slam basketball (A basketball spin off for the 3ds) 5 characters appear one is Moogle Ninja White Mage Black and Cactuar they all originated from final fantasy but they all made many appearances in many Mario sports games
Dk jr is actually the son of Cranky Kong. Cranky was the original Donkey Kong in the original Donkey Kong game back when Mario was saving Pauline before Peach.
Unlike most one-off characters, DK Jr as well as original DK are not in current Donkey Kong Country entirely because of the canon conflict, much likey technically Mario and the original Jumpman only shares the same character spirit but not entirely one individual.
- Could the "Super Team" from "Mario Strikers" actually be from the reality of "Sonic the Hedgehog"? could they have been built by Dr. Eggman?
- How many licks _does_ it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? The world may never know...
Not exactly. It's been said that Super Team was created and built by Bowser to pretty much obliterate Mario and every other captain.
@edgardeitz5746 - I was just having fun with the idea; still possible in a fanfic, though...
Tumble was the host in Mario Party advance too
The Nokis aren’t in just one level! They appear in Pinna Park, Gelato Beach, Sirena Beach and Noki bay!
And outside of Mario Sunshine they have an appearance in Mario Kart 8 in the background~.
And these raccoons are in the Shop, yes, but also is one of them in Noki bay selling boots. =)
14:06 the prince kind of reminds me of flavio form thousand year door. I wonder if that’s intentional somehow.
please make more mario creepy mysteries
About Ukiki, it's weird that the monkey hat thief doesn't return when Klepto, the vulture hat thief that was also first seen in Mario 64, made a comeback in Mario Odyssey
11:03 I don't hate poor Kiddy Kong at all. He's strong, happy and cute.
When I Tatanga in the thumbnail, I was like CAPTAIN TIGHTWAD
When you think about it, Donkey Kong jr is the son of Cranky Kong, making DKJ the father of Donkey kong (I think). Or maybe DKJ is a young modern DK
Also, since Cranky Kong is the original DK that Mario fought, that makes Baby DK a the baby version of Cranky Kong
The kings haven't come back because Peach "took care of them" after they took Mario's attention that one time
12:11 actually donkey Kong, IS donkey Kong junior. His father is cranky kong now, The Dk series runs in real time, for some reason.
