Captain Toad
The one and only Captain Toad, explorer extraordinaire!
When I first played the CT minigames in Super Mario 3D World I really enjoyed them and was very pleasantly surprised when he got his own spinoff game. Captain Toad was actually one of my votes in the Smash Bros Ballot hahah.
He's a very simple and charming character and I would love to see Sakurai play around with the idea of a character who pretty much can't jump. Maybe he'd pull out some stairs from his backpack, or get a propeller of some type and be very sturdy at the same time. I really don't think he'll be joining the fray but I really like him and it would be pretty cool to see more of him <3
