Over the course of his 30 years in video gaming, Mario has made a lot of friends and a lot of enemies. So like any normal human being, he enjoys spending time with these people. Sometimes he likes to golf with them, maybe shoot some hoops or even throw a pretty crazy house party. Whatever he’s doing that day, Mario always has a colorful gang of characters to join him.

But sometimes he makes some pretty dumb decisions when
making up the guest list for these events. Doesn’t he ever stop to think that
maybe those of us at home don’t want to go kart-racing as Baby Peach? Or lobby
some tennis balls as Donkey Kong Jr.? Yes, the Mario universe has a great and
varied bundle of characters but not all of them deserve to be playable. So I’m
taking a quick look at the ten worst offenders. This is my list of the Worst
Playable Mario Characters.
But before we begin, I do want to get this out of the way
now; no third party characters are on this list. Yes, I know Mario played
basketball with Cactuar. I also know he once raced against some Tamagotchi
thing. And yes, he has snowboard and jumped hurdles with Silver the Hedgehog. I
know. But none of them are on this list. I’m looking specifically at Mario
universe characters. Just because Bomberman once fought against Wario does not
make him a Mario character. So without further delay, let’s start the list.
