Yeah, really, I don't "hate" any Mario characters. They're all just there. I can't really see how one can feel that strongly towards a fun little game character. The closest I have come is with Baby Daisy, but even so I never pick her. Yeah it was kind of a dumb idea, but I don't hate her.
This topic feels AWFULLY familiar...
Going back on topic though, I think they should either remake Mario Land or better yet (read: less realistic) just make a brand new Mario game taking place in Sarassaland. Those were some funky levels, they'd look pretty cool in color and stuff.
