The only character with any melanin seems to be Super Mario (get it? because he’s Italian? eh, probably not even from Southern Italy).
Having watched the recent Pokemon Presents, it seems that the next Smash Bros. game is just going to be white, white, and more white. But more than that, does Nintendo have any major BIPOC representation aside from Ganondorf? That chap seems to be the only Black and/or Arab guy around. And he’s the villain so that’s going to irk even more people.
Idk. Quite a pity that at best you’re getting Asian representation, not that that isn’t important or anything. Only the Pokemon games have any sort-of BIPOC representation.
Right?!
…Actually… Little Mac seems to be Latino.
Edit: No wait, I think it was said once that he’s supposed to be Italian.
Ugh…
He’s based very directly on Sylvester Stallone as Rocky, so yeah, despite the Irish-ish name he’s Italian.
