I haven't seen them yet, but I am sure they are cool.
Did you notice that Gamecubicle.com put the characters name in abc order. I think it should be: Mario, Link, Luigi, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario, and Kirby.
I do like Luigi's SMB2 moves better than Mario's. Wario new game will probably push him above Donkey Kong for me. I only played the Rare DK game through once. I have repeatedly replayed the Mario, Link, Luigi, and Yoshi games. I was never much of a fan of Kirby. But, I am again talking about 3 month old cheese.
