History TheScrappy / SuperMarioBros

Then the hate came back when it was stated that he was Bowser's kid and the Koopalings weren't, which smells of CreatorsPet. However, Bowser Jr. is a bit more well-liked in the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' series for using unique and creative [[HumongousMecha Humongous Mechas]] to battle Mario rather than the same bland attack patterns.

*** Though [[LetsPlay/SlimKirby the person who created the song above]], who also played through the ''Mario Party'' games, experienced Peach's power before The Runaway Guys. In fact, since at least one of them is a fan of those Let's Plays, it's quite possible that the Mario Party Peach hatred came from those LP's.

* Lubba from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'', for being a ReplacementScrappy for Rosalina. Some have even compared him to [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Patrick Star.]]

** Where to begin with Jr. Troopa...? Aside from the fact that he chases Mario around for the dumbest reason (stepping in his playground? really?) but he also never shuts up about how he'll best him at every turn. He doesn't, every fight with him is easy [[spoiler: save for the last one]] and even then he keeps interrupting your adventure at the worst possible times. He's so determined to beat Mario up that [[spoiler:[[HumanPopsicle not even being frozen in a block of ice will stop him.]]]] The fact that he's a [[TheBully bully]] to Goombario's family doesn't help either.

** However, not even the most hated characters of this franchise could compare to the sheer worthlessness that Tanooki Mario and Cat Suit Peach represent. They're esentially Mario and Peach in power-up costumes... ''as seperate characters''. That alone guaranteedly makes them this trope. Clones like Baby Daisy and Pink Gold Peach are hated, but at least they have '''something''' that makes them feel different from their origins (At least from the InUniverse perspective, as in you wouldn't feel uncomfortable when you encounter both Mario and Metal Mario in the same race, [[FridgeHorror rather than encountering both Mario and Mario in a Tanooki Suit...]]) while these two aren't. They're also part of a DLC, and apparently the developers didn't even think twice of considering more liked characters like Diddy Kong, Bowser Jr. or King Boo for those packs than these two mistakes. The worst part is that they aren't even [[MovesetClone moveset clones]], the developers created different stunt animations for them, meaning that they actually ''put effort'' into adding these "characters" instead of adding about any other much more beloved character.

* [[YouGoGirl Princess Daisy]] is rather divisive, but the part of the fanbase that hates her hates her hard, due to having a voice that's equally as obnoxious as (if not more than) Peach's, and her Flanderization of the GenkiGirl trope that turns her into a nerve-grating twit. Also similar to the above princess, Daisy has had two equally jarring past portrayals: the generic DistressedDamsel in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand'', and the tomboyish yet coy and klutzy woman in ''[[VideoGame/MarioParty Mario Party 4]]'', with a design that was ripped off the ''Mario Tennis'' character, Azalea. Unlike the Princess Peach example above, however, Daisy has had no notable scrappy-rescuing appearances (or even a reference) outside of the series' party, racing and sports titles. Because of this, any defining character (if any) Daisy has is [[SatelliteCharacter hanging around with other, more popular characters]] like Peach and Luigi. Daisy's scrappiness is starting to die off a little, with the character turning from being hated to rather sympathetic as Daisy becoming another Luigi meta-wise, [[TheUnfavorite generally being ignored]] in favor of the [[EnsembleDarkhorse very much-loved newcomer]] ''Rosalina''. Daisy being excluded from the latest Smash Bros. game, while Rosalina was added only added more fuel to this.

** [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Jojora]], due to being a whiny bitch who attacks you for no real reason other than to delay getting to [[spoiler: Bowletta for the exchange]].

** Popple became this in ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam Dream Team]]'', for being a complete {{jerkass}} that initiates an annoying boss fight with Wiggler and becomes TheLoad during the fight, and then turns on you after you defeat Wiggler. Not to mention that his status as a recurring boss and his unique boss music is gone, so all of his likeable traits aren't around.

** Baby Rosalina is another freaking baby character... who, like Baby Daisy, has no basis from other games and has started to raise the fears of fans that [[TearJerker Rosalina's backstory]] would be [[Retcon retconned]] because of her mere existence. And then there's Pink Gold Peach, who is merely a metal version of Peach... only unlike Metal Mario, she has had no appearance in earlier games either, making her literally a waste of space.

* ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'' introduced two new questionable characters in Baby Rosalina, who like Baby Daisy, has no basis in any previous games. The other is Pink Gold Peach, who is just a heavier re-skin of Peach, and unlike Metal Mario in ''Mario Kart 7'', also has no basis in any other game.

%% NOTE: Before adding any entries, go to this forum...DO NOT ADD any characters unless you discuss them here http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13598973560A64980100&page=1

* Ukiki in ''[[SuperMarioBros Super Mario 64]]''. On top of being a gigantic hindrance to the player in the Tall Tall Mountain, he steals your hats with annoyingly cute dialogue and he's near-impossible to catch. Which makes it all the more satisfying to roast him using Yoshi's fire flower in the DS version.
* A less extreme example, but Neil in ''Mario Golf Advance Tour''. From his irritating, sarcastic-sounding "Whoops!" when he gets a Bogey to his hideous character design, could they have made a less appealing player character? At least at the very beginning, the game gives you the option to play as the much less annoying Ella instead.
* Baby Mario from ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' gets a lot of hate. Not only is he gaming's biggest star reduced to a worthless, infantile caricature of himself, but he also irks the hell out of people with his obnoxious crying. ''And'' the whole game is a giant EscortMission! It probably surprised nobody when [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nfigSWuh7o a glitch allowing Yoshi to eat him was discovered]], AndThereWasMuchRejoicing.
* Baby Mario is bad enough, but ''YoshisIsland DS'' decided to add even ''more'' baby versions of famous Nintendo characters including VideoGame/DonkeyKong, Bowser (though he was in the original Yoshi's Island as the final boss), and Wario. However, none of them can compare to the bile that Baby Princess Peach receives. Why? Because of her ill-designed special ability that allows her to float using the wind, which usually only makes the player more likely to end up crashing headfirst into enemies or simply fall straight to the ground because she sometimes doesn't catch the wind to float. The fact that her crying is even more obnoxious than Mario's doesn't help matters either.
** While not involved in the ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' series herself, Baby Daisy gets a lot of flak for essentially being slot filler in ''VideoGame/MarioKart'', especially by those who already found her older self to be obnoxious as it is.
* Bowser Jr. A ReplacementScrappy for a whole villain team, he already gets a great deal of hatedom by replacing the seven most popular non Bowser villains in the older games. Even disregarding that, however, he is also hated for design being little more than a redesign of the original Baby Bowser, as well as the fact that he's fought as a recurring boss every single tower in ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros'', ten times with just two attack patterns. Some fans did start warming up to him when he was finally shown with his siblings in the sequel, though.
** Then the hate came back when it was stated that he was Bowser's kid and the Koopalings weren't, which smells of CreatorsPet. However, Bowser Jr. is a bit more well-liked in the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' series for using unique and creative [[HumongousMecha Humongous Mechas]] to battle Mario rather than the same bland attack patterns.

* In so far as an item can be TheScrappy... The infamous Blue Shell from ''MarioKart''. Combine a seeking projectile that cannot be blocked, and goes directly for whoever's in first with rubber-band AI. Everyone sighs when they hear it coming.
** Also the Lightning Bolt which hits everyone, is impossible to dodge unless you're invincible at the time, and is spammed by the computer relentlessly in the later games, especially on the last laps of the races.
** The one item that can compete with the Blue Shell is the Thunder Cloud. The one that gets it gets a slight speed boost, but when the time is over, he'll get hit by a shrinking thunder and the only way to prevent it is to ram into another racer. The worst part it's when it pops out when you're in the last places.
** Making matters worse is that, since ''Double Dash (GC)'', all the above forces you to forfeit/drop items upon hit, meaning that you can't play as defensively anymore.
* The Honey Queen in ''VideoGame/MarioKart7''. Even when we discount her flat character who´s only real purpose is for a Mario Galaxy side-quest, she is often seen as a waste of space, considering that she isn't even a main character and only made a couple minor appearances in SuperMarioGalaxy and it's [[SuperMarioGalaxy2 sequel]]. Many fans would've much preferred [[EnsembleDarkhorse Waluigi]] to be a playable character over her.
** And it´s funny because [[BaseBreaker Waluigi]] himself was a Scrappy for quite a while. Fans weren´t very much enthusiastic regarding his presence, and he was branded as a "Wario rip-off". Then, [[CharacterDevelopment his character grew into something larger]], and he nowadays is more of a [[BaseBreaker Base Breaker]].

** Starlow is usually hated because she often gets credit for what Mario and Luigi do, she's an annoying ExpositionFairy, and she is very cruel to Luigi for no real reason.
*** She generally thinks that Luigi is incompetent and isn't exactly one who garners hero status unlike Mario. However, in ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam Dream Team]]'', she seems to have mellowed out more towards Luigi even if she's still teasing to him on occasion.
** Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk, and Sergeant Guy from the same games as Starlow are viewed by many as useless screw-ups that get way too much screentime.
*** Come ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'', they end up taking [[TookALevelInBadass multiple levels in badass]]... only to become [[GoddamnedBoss scrappies of another kind]].

** It does not help that she's inexplicably portrayed as a badass in Smash Brothers. Which makes you wonder why she can't get rid of Bowser herself in the main Mario universe.

* [[YouGoGirl Princess Daisy]] is rather divisive, but the part of the fanbase that hates her hates her hard, due to having a voice that's equally as obnoxious as (if not more than) Peach's, and her Flanderization of the GenkiGirl trope that turns her into a nerve-grating twit.

* Twink in PaperMario is hated for being generally annoying as well as interrupting the game at inconvenient points.
* Flurrie in PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor is universally disliked, [[FetishFuel due to her odd and creepy design.]]
** TEC is also this for people who were [[{{Squick}} disgusted]] [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove by the subplot he had with Peach in that game]], especially since he first falls in love with Peach pretty much by being a Peeping Tom.

* Kersti from ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar''. She is incredibly emotional and at times needlessly jerkish to Mario, and she has a tendency to get kidnapped which deprives you of one of the game's core mechanics, as well as preventing you from leaving the level or saving[[note]]Kersti herself doesn't grant these powers, but the game is designed so that areas where she gets kidnapped don't let you leave without her, as the game would be pretty impossible without her abilities.[[/note]]. However, the biggest thing is that unlike the other hint fairy scrappies on this page, she tells you almost nothing useful. Her hint system flipflops between stating the obvious and making irrelevant comments on her surroundings, usually only being useful if the puzzle relies on Paperization. The fact that [[spoiler: she has a HeroicSacrifice during the final boss is negated by wish power undoing her death moments later. Even if her death caused an AlasPoorScrappy, her near-instant revival cheapens the moment.]]

* Huff N. Puff is hated for being what many people believe to be the [[ThatOneBoss hardest required boss]] in the original Paper Mario.

However, Bowser Jr. is a bit more well-liked in the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' series for using unique and creative HumongousMecha to battle Mario rather than the same bland attack patterns.

* Although she was originally generally liked, Rosalina has become more controversial with her recent overexposure in Mario games since 2013. It doesn't help that Rosalina has sounded more like Peach recently and become more generic overtime.
** It gets worse in ''Mario Kart 8'' since Rosalina is the most commonly used character in the Cruiserweight class, and since heavy characters are favored in the game, she is the most common character used online.

* Even Mario himself is an offender, [[StatusQuoIsGod when you wonder why he has to be the main character all the time]] when the franchise have so many different characters, and when you consider [[FlatCharacter him to be the dullest character out of everyone]].

* Even Mario himself is an offender, [StatuQuoIsGod when you wonder why he has to be the main character all the time] when the franchise have LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacter, and when he is probably the dullest character out of everyone.

* Lubba from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'', for being a ReplacementScrappy for Princess Rosalina. Some have even compared him to [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Patrick Star.]]

* Private Goomp, Corporal Paraplonk, and Sergeant Guy from the same games as Starlow are viewed as this by many due to their incompetence and being viewed as an utter waste of space in the game.
