Most of the complaining doesn't make sense, half of the characters are legit while the others are filler characters utilized only in spinoff games. Whenever they try to make original characters for filler material you end up with oddities like Plum who promptly disappear because no one knows or cares about them.
What you should be complaining about is the plethora of characters they haven't been using. There are plenty from SMB2 and beyond that made 1-2 appearances and then was never seen again. I really thought Tatanga was going to make a cameo in SMG, it was the perfect opportunity, and if they needed female characters they could have used Captain Syrup from Wario Land 1/2. Wario doesn't need a Peach knockoff for a girlfriend when they could resurrect Syrup and develop some type of love/hate relationship between her and Wario since they're both similar in personality and she's repeatedly one-upped him in his own games.
