 ::::::::that's fair enough i guess. though, fun fact, not even ndcube/hudson follows this: I think in Mario Party 9, 90% of the game previews used only Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi if I recall correctly, or, if it's a another certain amount of characters. I'm not saying that we should follow them and do screenshots exactly like they do, of course. but i agree that some variety is nice, and we can please all viewers whose favorite character should be represented at least once. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 02:42, 19 April 2016 (EDT)
 :::::::::Yeah, maybe we went a little overboard with Mario/Toad/Toadette vs. the evil Daisy Waluigi Wario team. :P {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 17:20, 19 April 2016 (EDT) I think I'll limit it to everyone vs. the evil Daisy Waluigi Wario (and occasional Yoshi) team. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 17:20, 19 April 2016 (EDT)
+* '''Why Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi in most game previews of Mario Party 9?''' &ndash; @{{user|Baby Luigi}}:
+** It's probably a PR thing. Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi are the most recognizable Mario characters they can pick from.
+*** Bowser has the same level of recognition as those 4, but cannot be picked as a playable character.
+** The purpose of those characters being picked is to maximize exposure through reinforcement and reach:
+:# Fans who engage with the Mario series casually (not like MarioWiki users per say, they would've known more than just those 4), and
+:# Non-fans who never engaged themselves with the material, but had some surface knowledge from advertisement imagery, or noticing other people engaging with Mario content through discussion, playing Mario video games, or interacting with merchandise (like shirts or toys).
+:* The way PR has handled for Mario Party 9 could be a sub-section as marketing.
+::* Problem is that it's more subtle, non-gameplay, and usually under our noses when just wanting to engage with game mechanics and lore in the wiki. :p
+::* For example, I wrote a sub-section dedicated to marketing for [[Donkey_Kong_Country_Returns#Marketing_and_release|Donkey Kong Country Returns]] ([http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Donkey_Kong_Country_Returns&oldid=1503550#Marketing_and_release click here for my last revision dedicated to that section]).
+:::* There's a revision note I wrote that says: "Wow, this section remained untouched. Adding the sectionstub back; doesn't cover GameStop retailer bonuses. I have a feeling there's more than that." Apparently someone did not catch that note or felt like the sub-section is fulfilled enough and removed [[Template:Sectionstub]]. I know there's more than that!
+::::* Or...there's a piece of marketing info that's just stuffed to the [[Donkey_Kong_Country_Returns#Trivia|trivia]] section. Wow.
+* @{{user|Bazooka Mario}}: Why those four?! Is it because of their AI making them act more cunning and aggressive? :p
