As for why we haven't seen a lot of Wart lately, I wonder why that is? Do you think maybe he doesn't have as strong an association with the Mario universe as other characters?
We're not sure. We haven't seen him for so long, it's a difficult question to answer. Older fans would remember him. Perhaps there's a game where Wart returns to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, but winds up angering Bowser, since it's his goal to do the exact same thing, so that we have competing villains.
That's all good stuff. I'm going to have to take notes on this. But if we're going back to Doki Doki Panic, I would have to say that the character that jumped out of that game was Shy Guy, because he's been used in so many games since then.
The bolded part is by the interviewer I think, but yeah, they say it's probably because he might not have as strong an association with the Mario universe as other characters or something, and adds that the idea of a game where Wart returns and ends up against Bowser could be a decent one.
There is some other stuff there, although not much of interest. Still, would you want stuff from Super Mario Bros 2/Doki Doki Panic in future Mario games, at least even more so than it is already?
