Best: Yoshi (Luigi comes at a close second)
Worst: Baby Daisy (They could've used Baby Wario, or Baby DK, but noooo, they had to INTRODUCE a NEW character for a FREAKING SPINOFF.  Waluigi was enough!  At least he has potential.)

Best: Luigi

Worst: Can't decide, sorry.
The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

Best: Yoshi. Always Yoshi.

Worst: I've never played Mario Superstar Slugger or whatever that baseball game is (or whatever the most recent one is)... but Baby Daisy would drive me up a wall. Baby Daisy. And if not that, I'd say Donkey Kong because I don't like monkeys (unless it's the DKC series where I have no choice).
You didn't say wot wot.

Best: Toad (the one Toad, not the entire race). He may not be the best jumper, but he's got more than enough speed and strength to make up for it, and he's always willing to help out the Bros time and again when help is needed. An honorable mention goes to the Hammer Bro from MP8. WHile his voice was kind of annoying (listen to him taunt), it is great to see classic playable characters like him in instead of abominations like Petey Pirahna (let us hope he is never playable in MP).

Worst: While they are not neccesarily the worst, I have to collectivley say the baby characters. I don't like that baby characters appear in the same game as adult characters (except for when the story calls for it, like PiT). If we wanted to play as Mario, we would use Mario, not baby Mario, you know. If I can't vote for all of the baby characters, then just put baby Daisy in that spot for me (quiet unneccesary). A horrible mention goes to Blooper's appearance in MP8. While it is great to see classic playable characters like that, I sort of thought Blooper was kind of a stupid choice. I don't know why, but I felt rather silly playing as him after unlocking him. On the upside, at least it wasn't Petey..

Nominee: Can I vote for both 2D and Mario Sports? If not, just Sports.
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

Best: Yoshi.
Worst: Toadette. GRRR

Waluigi gets no love. He may not be best, but he's certainly not worst!
If she is indeed genetically mutated such that she has an eye in the back of her head, then I guess that she is genetically mutated and has an eye in the back of her head.

This is a tough one.  In Mario Bros. games that give Mario and Luigi different ability I always go with Luigi.  In Mario Kart games I like Dry Bones.  Yoshi games are cool.  In Mario RPGs I like Bowser; particularly the 2D levels.  Toad is bad in SMB2 though pretty good in Mario Kart.

Best:  Luigi, Dry Bones, Bowser, and Yoshi.

Worst:  Toad, Baby Daisy. 

That's do for now.  I'll let you know if I can narrow it down.
