I mean Vaati permanently dies in Four Swords Adventures and you see it happen in that game, and Ganon is sealed in the Four Sword where Vaati was sealed before. Meanwhile we see his origin in Minish Cap. We pretty much only have one possible way for Vaati to return which is in a Four Swords game taking place between Minish Cap and Four Swords.

It sucks to see that Koopa Kid hasn't been in any Mario Party game since Mario Party 7 (2005), especially considering that The Cutting Room Floor suggests that he was planned for Mario Party 8 (2007) at some point. This is similar to the situation involving the Fake Item Box, an item that hasn't been seen since Mario Kart Wii (2008).

[@ArcherBro]

Odds of a comeback: Bowser's brother: Highly unlikely. He didn't even have a name and the All-Stars remake got rid of his unique colors (NES colors were blue). Functionally, his purpose is done by just having a magic clone of Bowser, which already exists in the imposter Bowsers. Lip: Above average. She is referenced in Smash. R.O.B.'s creator: Above average. Depends on what Nintendo might want to do with R.O.B. in the future. General Scales: Unlikely. Depends on if SFA gets a remake or something. Super Team: Unlikely. Depends on what Nintendo wants for other Strikers games. Until then, they are obsolete. Spikey-eared Pichu: Likely. While that one is locked to its original game, Gamefreak could just make the spikey-ear a variant in later games. Miyu and Fay: Unable to quantify. Depends on if we get a new Star Fox. Captain Syrup: Likely. We're bound to get a new Wario Land at some point. Chunky: Likely. Though it depends on how the future of DK is. Pokemon Colosseum/XD cast: Unlikely. Unless they surprise us with a spot in a game like Masters or something. F-Zero: MV: Unlikely given how F-Zero itself is unlikely to get a new game. Bubbles: Highly Unlikely. Unless Smash surprises us. Mike Tyson: As close to 0 as you can get. Why bother licensing his controversial image when you can just sell a royalty-free version? Koopa Kid: Highly Unlikely. Jr. makes them rather pointless. Orcos: Unlikely. Depends on what Nintendo does with Kid Icarus later. Kiddie Kong: See Chunky. Heavy Mole: Likely. Kirby is a franchise that likes to reuse and remix enemies. Vaati: Highly unlikely. His purpose is done. Might have a minor spin-off appearance though. Pizza Pasta: Highly unlikely. Just due to the nature of Punch-Out getting new games. Tatanga: Unlikely. He might have just been Bowser as an alien, but he could be more interesting. I wouldn't rule out spin-offs.

I hate that not even THIS video mentions Mario Party 3 and Advance's Tumble. Tumble would've been a FANTASTIC mascot for the Mario Party series.... but even THIS video forgot about him. People talk about these other characters, at least for most of them there was no opportunity for them to appear again as there's no new games, or they may have been spiritually replaced (like Koopa Kid effectively turning into Bowser Jr. though I'd like for him to return as the gremlin minions that do Bowser's deed since B. Jr tends to be playable or a boss fight). but Tumble being completely shafted after Advance despite like 12 Mario Parties since then is a huge shame.... especially since Mario Party 3 is often cited as one of the best Mario Parties by most people, so you'd think our sentient dice block would be the Starlow of the Mario Party series like he was in Advance (the most heavily underrated casue people can't get past the whole "Single player Mario Party" element as if it takes too many brain cells to enjoy something for what it is....)

Most Pokémon spinoff games tend to introduce the coolest character designs I've seen and then never use them again.

[@gurvmlk]

@@mattb6522 I'll never forget how annoyed I was when Bowser was brought back for the villain in Mario 3, and then Mario World, and so on. Not because I cared about them bringing back Wart. But because Mario 2 established that each game would have a different villain. Only for Bowser to then keep coming back. Which even as a kid, I thought was incredibly lazy and uninteresting after the second game had gone out of its way to give us a new villain.

[@mattb6522]

@@gurvmlk Yeah, I would like if a lot of game series gave us more variety in villains for the games. I do get sick of seeing Bowser, Dr. Eggman, Ganon/Ganondorf etc. almost always as the main baddie in their respective series.

Especially given Tumble was mostly neutral with Bowser as he didn't know him so him treating Bowser identically to everyone else for the sake of the Party would fit perfectly!

Plus, there was other Wario Land characters didn’t quite returned for years as well.

[@bryanpaulnintendo]

Also: -Rolling Turtle only appeared in Kirby’s Adventure before being replaced by Phan Phan in Kirby’s Nightmare in Dream Land, and never appeared again. Mouser from Super Mario Bros 2 never appeared in a future title again, same with Tryclyde, Clawgrip, Fryguy, and Hawkmouth. Almost all the human characters from Mario Golf/Mario Tennis have been lost forever. Stanley the Bugman has been forgotten after one game, and has never made a major appearance in any title again. Donkey Kong Jr. had his time in the spotlight on the NES/SNES era and was only brought back in Mario Kart Tour, a mobile game, so no chance of him getting into a spot in a major title. Paint Roller also only appeared during the time of Kirby’s Adventure on the NES, Kirby’s Avalanche on the SNES, Kirby Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby: Canvas Curse. He hasn’t returned since.

It's a shame that the Koopa Kid disappeared after Mario Party 7 and Advance. They were a fundamental piece in the Mario Party saga and when I was able to play Mario Party 2, 3, 4 and 5 I accepted them very well. Yes, they may have been replaced by Bowser Jr, but it just doesn't feel the same anymore. Where this is most noticeable is not in the board remasters in Superstars, but in the remaster of The Final Battle! (MP4) in The Top 100. It's a shame not to see them there, and not even an honorable mention.

Good video! Man, when I first played Star Fox Adventures, I remember being extremely disappointed when the General Scales "boss fight" turned into a cutscene. Apparently, Star Fox Adventures had a lot of cut content and an actual General Scales boss fight was one of them! 😭

[@MarioMastar]

The whole GAME was cut content given what happened to the original Dinosaur planet. THough Kev Bayliss did draw some concept art recently showing what Dinosaur Planet probably would've looked like if they made it today, including updated artwork of Krystal that looks absolutely gorgeous (Standing in front of a Pterodactyle in a fitting outfit, as in the original I think she just wore northern style exploration gear but he kept the tribal motif with her resembling a central American princess). He also confirmed she is an Arctic fox and her blue coloring was just a stylization of her being from a colder region. THere is this fan game that was recently made that kind of attempts to tell a more proper Star fox Adventures story, but sadly, long as Nintendo owns the Starfox IP, it's unlikely we'll see those devs cook unless they want another one. The creator of Fox even said in a tweet "I'd be happy to bring Krystal back if Nintendo would let us make another game." Sadly, I think Starfox Zero didn't do as well as they expected, and I'm not sure about them finally finishing Starfox 2.

Oh, the memories of the Super Team being rather difficult when I first played Super Mario Strikers and being demoted to maintenance and janitorial work had me laughing so hard when I first saw the Mario Strikers Charged credits.

[@EmilinkoHoward]

Oh, I remember Panel de Pon.

[@jamesheatherly4209]

I actually think Koopa Kid is a younger version of Bowser JR.

[@HeftyDan]

I feel like Koopa Kid is a special case of never coming back bc his series didn't even die out, he was just straight up replaced and if any previous Mario Party games that used him get remade/re-released, they'll just use Bowser Jr., Boom Boom, or the Koopalings. He is GONE gone

[@ls190v2]

Some are reasonable. Vaati's long dead and buried, Panel de Pon was never released outside of Japan (technically), Scales was rendered obsolete and the Super team could look quite jarring to younger players. Some are just unreasonable, though. How could they ditch Bowser's brother?

[@MrSam1098]

0:24 I really miss that character 🥺

[@michaelkowal3230]

I really hope Miror B returns in a future game with a full dancing team, maybe even getting his hands on a Quaquavel as it's the starter that fits his style best

[@JohnMartin-ll9cw]

I’ll tell you the reason why Bowser’s Brother never appeared after a single game: HE WAS F***ING RETCONNED SINCE 2014!!!

[@kalarse]

I miss Koopa Kid. 😢

[@acetraineroblivion6880]

Not having Mirror B's theme for his entry was a crime! I always loved fighting him for that bop!

[@MaesterMike]

Chunky Kong may not show up in any game again (a crime, if you ask me), but he did show up for a split second cameo in the Mario movie sitting nearby Diddy Kong.

[@gurvmlk]

I wouldn't even call Koopa Kid retired. He's just Bowser Jr. before being renamed and redesigned into the character he is today.
