1. Captain Syrup

Leader of the S.S. Teacup in Wario Land, Syrup can unnerve and fool the evil Wario. She’s the Harley Quinn to his Joker. True love.

2. Dr. Ryuta Kawashima

Although he’s not quite a character, he is a real-life neuro scientist from Japan. The Brain Age game was his idea, which is why it’s his mug we see in the title’s ads.

3. Geno

A star-borne warrior from Super Mario RPG, Geno helped the Italian plumber restore order in the universe. Licensing issues with Square Enix has rendered Geno M.I.A. in titles such as Super Smash Bros.

4. Fawful

A baddie from Mario & Luigi with a taste for showmanship, this self-styled “lord” turns Bowser’s Castle into his own theater. His audience: the big turtle’s minions, of course.

5. Master Hand

The Master Hand was seen in the first Super Smash Bros., removing dolls from a chest and then bringing them to life. How does a disembodied glove manage to talk? It’s a mystery among mysteries.

6. Doshin The Giant

Though it received good reviews, this title, featuring the rubbery godlike being above, was released only in Japan and Europe in 2002. A remake featuring this guy could be a hit with the hipsters.

7. Count Bleck

Initially a villain in Paper Mario, this fancily dressed count becomes an important ally for the hero.

8. 9-Volt

He’s a mama’s boy who lives in Diamond City with his dog, Fronk, in Warioware, Inc. His specialty is making retro micro-versions of classic games like Super Mario Bros., and Animal Crossing.

9. Chargin’ Chuck

A type of koopa that prefers football gear, making him hard to beat. Mario has to jump on a Chargin’ Chuck’s head at least five times just to make a dent.

11. Midna

Remember when Beast turned into that normal-looking bland guy at the end of Disney’s Beauty & the Beast? Well, Midna transforms into a tall, woman-like being at the end of The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess. We prefer her like this.

11. Pauline

Mario never would have jumped over those barrels if not for this lovely lass being kidnapped by Donkey Kong. Mario and Kong became icons. Pauline was replaced by Princess Peach. She can now be seen assisting Mario in the Super Mini Mario World Theme Park, where Donkey Kong Jr. does the kidnapping.

Nintendo have announced that the retro-fitted Captain Toad Treasure Tracker Amiibo-Support update will be released world-wide on March 20th 2015. As with all Amiibo-compatible software, the game promises to add a unique gameplay to the mix, giving gamers an incentive to touch their Toad Amiibo to the Wii U GamePad. When a player touches a Toad Amiibo, a Pixel Toad appears and runs off into the level and hide, its up to the player to tray and find him. There will be one of these special hide and seek challenges in each level in the game. If a player uses any other Amiibo to the controller, they will receive 1-UP Mushrooms.

DD: What can someone say about a standalone downloadable release based upon a mini-game available in a pre-existing retail title? Things I tend to look for in these cases are how much the developer has added to the original experience in order to make a worthwhile title. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a great example of a small section of a game being spun into something that could be sold as a product in itself. Dededes Drum Dash Deluxe, sadly, is not of the same calibre.

There's a brand new mod taking the Skyrim community by storm, given that it bridges two things people really love: Skyrim and pirates. Now anytime someone says “This game is like Skyrim but with pirates!” you can just say, “Well that's too bad because that already exists in a mod for Skyrim called Pirates of Skyrim.”
