I've always loved Mario and recently got the Switch with Mario Kart 9, fueling my passion for gaming even more. However, during my many hours navigating in vibrant worlds with Mario and Luigi at the forefront, I couldn't help but notice the glaring underrepresentation of other unique and beloved characters - Princess Daisy, for instance, has no game of her own, while Princess Peach has only a handful.

Nintendo has always been iconic for creating timeless games with captivating characters. Yet, there is an almost exclusive focus on Mario and Luigi when it comes to main characters. While these two brothers are undoubtedly charming, it's time for Nintendo to embrace the diversity of their existing character library more fully. Princess Daisy, Princess Peach, Toad, and other overlooked characters deserve a chance to shine in their own adventures.

Imagine a vibrant world where each character gets their own story arc, honed skills, and profound adventures. This isn't just a plea for representation, but also an opportunity for Nintendo to reach wider audiences, offering fresh and dynamic storytelling. Publishing new games centered on different characters will bring a new dimension to their beloved franchises, keeping them fresh and exciting for existing and new gamers alike.

Moreover, diversity in main characters will more accurately reflect the wide audience that enjoys Nintendo games across the globe. Players from different backgrounds connecting better with characters that offer a spectrum of ethnicities, genders, and personalities. This can foster a stronger community and even inspire new generations of game designers and storytellers.

We call on Nintendo to recognize this incredible opportunity for growth and inclusion. Let us support these beloved lesser-seen characters and bring their stories to the forefront of Nintendo's vibrant universe. Sign this petition to encourage Nintendo to create new, inclusive games highlighting the depth of their character library, enriching the gaming experience for all.
