There's the human race, the koopa race, the ape race, the mushroom race, and 150cc race. I am not sure what this reviewer is talking about? Has he not played the game? What does this asshole want?

I think those are species...

Ala The Wonderful 101.

Some people complained that the game barely had any heros from Africa.

It is racist to think that all white people are of the same race.

they are... their ethnicity is whats probably going to be different. I always envision Wario and Waluigi as gypsies

Oh sorry, I forgot that humanity is but one race and the earth is but one country. Strive for world peace, my friends!

Race = genetic make up. Ethnicity = cultural background. Nationality = what nation you associate with... wtf are you talking about? those are all different things and if you are white then you are white.

They are analogies for a view that is free of racial and national prejudice.

This is like PETA or Greenpeace talking about Nintendo.

I don't know what the reviewer is complaining about... there's been plenty of minorities featured in Nintendo games over the years...

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I'm also upset that there aren't any LGTB folks. Or aliens. Or teenagers. Shit, this roster would have to be 50 characters to represent all walks of life.

Its a game, get over it.
