Its not Toads fault though. He has been with Mario since day 1 and has been involved in almost every competitive nintendo game. He is even in Strikers. The omission from Smash is a travesty of justice.

If anything Nintendo has shown more respect for Bayonetta than anyone else. Not only did Bayonetta get a fantastic sequel, she also got the first game remastered with new outfits. Bayonetta had a good run.

Although I agree with some of what you said, Bayonetta clearly is the better candidate simply because she needs more visibility. A chance, that's all she needs. Toad's had way too much promo, it's time for Bay to shine! A messy release with no promo, she didn't have a good run. She was forgotten and spat on.

(I really don't understand why Toad isn't a playable character in Smash)


Bayo had tons of promotion. There were Playboy Playmates dressing as her. Bayonetta made an appearance at the Nintendo store. It was advertised nonstop on Toonami and other teen shows. Nintendo did do lots to try to promote the game. They just didn't do the right hype campaign for it.

Toad on the other hand had next to no promotion outside of 1 commercial. Toad deserves the spot. He has been due since the N64 days. Plus, the model is already done for him and they could use any number of other animations from the other games to move him around. It would be quicker and easier for Toad than Bayonetta.
