One of Nintendo's biggest image problems is that "they just rehash the same characters/IPs".

Splatoon shows this isn't the case, but putting a Mario skin it in would make it just be seen as more proof of the above statement.

It's a public image thing.

Can I ask for clarification here? You're saying replacing the Inklings with Mario skins would ruin the game. Can Mario show his face at all? What if there's a little mini-game where he cleans up the mess with the FLUDD -- as long as you can't play as Mario in regular matches, this doesn't interfere with the game experience, right?

Bloopers have already been spotted in the game, and that doesn't seem to have ruined anything... we are walking a fine line here.

It won't ruin the game as in make it not fun, but I feel it'll ruin this opportunity to show they're not entirely reliant on old IPs.
