Rebel Robert Schwartz sent us a list of all 11 captains seen in the intro video of Mario Strikers Charged, but he’s missing one and needs our help.
Can any of you identify him?
Here’s what Robert had to say:
In the Jeux France Mario strikers video, the “secret” captains are shown. Bowser Jr., who was recently revealed as being playable in the new smash bros., is clearly visible.
The other new captain is a shadowy figure that I can’t identify.
So the full list of 12 captains is:
1. Mario
2. Wario
3. Bowser
4. Bowser Jr.
5. Luigi
6. Waluigi
7. Peach
8. Daisy
9. Donkey Kong
10. Diddy Kong
11. Yoshi
12. Shadowy figure???
Since the first 10 are counterparts, does the last character relate to yoshi in some way? Can you identify him? The screenshot was taken during the Megashot cutscene.

looks like mewtwo to me

Could be megaman - or that shadow mario from Mario Sunshine.
Arcanis - 04.25.07 9:02 pm
Birdo?
Traveller - 04.25.07 9:09 pm
it’s battletoads, obviously.
mreddy1 - 04.25.07 9:10 pm
Maybe its a Super Mario Galaxy Character.
Drkirby - 04.25.07 9:10 pm
I think its Birdo..it seems to have a bow on its head..
Traveller - 04.25.07 9:14 pm
Has anyone confirmed the new SSBB characters yet?
Jeff S. - 04.25.07 9:14 pm
Hmm, I’m not sure if it’s a new character. I think it might just be Peach (the thing behind her back is her ponytail).
dr.hawty - 04.25.07 9:24 pm
My guess was the chick from Starfox adventure. But i think she’s owned by Rare and not Nintendo
Edgar - 04.25.07 9:26 pm
It does look rather like the main character in the nights game. Something to do with the headgear and funny boots.
Si Fir - 04.25.07 9:32 pm
Ummm…This is just a stab in the dark…but maybe it’s just an entirely new character that Next Level Games designed specifically for the game? Ya know, like the robots from the first Strikers?
Oof - 04.25.07 9:33 pm
I think the real question is why Bowser Jr. is being included in all these Mario games. Worst. Character. Ever.
Dopple Boppler - 04.25.07 9:37 pm
Looks like Ness to me, on the top part of that figure.
Cam - 04.25.07 9:48 pm
” Bowser Jr., who was recently revealed as being playable in the new smash bros.”
what
Luigifan14 - 04.25.07 10:04 pm
Is it Tom Nook, the figure looks raccoonish a little.
Buckbuck - 04.25.07 10:09 pm
it LOOKS (key word) like Krystal from star fox adventures to me
prolly just the colors, I dunno.
and who, I could see it being birdo ON TOP of something
which is also wierd
whatevah
Nny - 04.25.07 10:09 pm
looks like mewtwo to me also..
James - 04.25.07 10:11 pm
I agree James. It does look like Mewtwo.
Someone - 04.25.07 10:23 pm
Mewtwo isn’t part of the Mushroom Kingdom though so I doubt it’s any Pokemon. It’s probably not Ness, Tom Nook, or Krystal for the same reason.
Dusty - 04.25.07 10:51 pm
I agree with Oof … it’s probably just an updated version of the robots from the gamecube iteration.
CDubb - 04.25.07 11:02 pm
Ness is a good guess.
Mitch - 04.25.07 11:03 pm
Its a Tanooki!
DustinCahill - 04.25.07 11:15 pm
It’s definitely Birdo. Those white spots that look like eyes, aren’t eyes. They’re nostrils. And as someone already mentioned; that does look like the outline of a bow behind them.
perdevious - 04.25.07 11:19 pm
Wait a sec… I just realized Birdo doesn’t have nostrils… just a big hole right?
perdevious - 04.25.07 11:21 pm
It’s Conker.
Blee Blee Bloo Bloo - 04.25.07 11:24 pm
It’s just Daisy. If you count the montage of super shots, there’s only 11. They use all the characters that were featured in the trailer. The blue one is Daisy. The secret captain is probably just the Robot.
Rocktapus - 04.25.07 11:37 pm
“Bowser Jr., who was recently revealed as being playable in the new smash bros.”
when did this happen?!?
Bobby - 04.25.07 11:46 pm
Sigh.
So many things wrong with this post, and some of the comments that follow. C’mon guys.
First off — “Bowser Jr., who was recently revealed as being playable in the new smash bros.” — This never happened. It’s entirely false.
Secondly, consensus is that the “shadowy figure” is simply a robot character, akin to the first game. It does not represent any returning characters from the Super Mario series, so there is not much to figure out there.
James Montagna - 04.25.07 11:57 pm
It didn’t happen. The Bowser Jr SSBB thing was a totaly fake rumour made up by some site. It was proven fake when it first came out, and then proven fake again when it reappeared for some reason several months ago. There’s no way in hell Bowser Jr would appear in SSBB, a Mario sports game however is totally different and he’s quite likely to appear in every one now, especially since they usually have teams of two in all the Mario sports titles.
SV - 04.25.07 11:58 pm
I thought the Bowser Jr. SSBB thing was either what “Robert” thought, or was a mistake and he meant Mario Strikers Charged(or Mario Smash Football Charged or something?)
Matthew(Someguy) - 04.26.07 12:15 am
what’s wrong with bowser jr.? I love that little guy.
kef - 04.26.07 1:19 am
Yeah, I didn’t hear that the Bowser Jr. in SSBB was just a rumour, but it is. My bad. Stil, he is in the new Mario Strikers.
Robert Schwartz - 04.26.07 2:47 am
whose that pokemon???
b - 04.26.07 3:02 am
I’m also going to say it’s the updated robot team, they were so out of place in design (in the original) and I guess things haven’t changed much this time around either.
-S- - 04.26.07 3:10 am
Samus Aran all the way.
aparrish - 04.26.07 3:23 am
“Bowser Jr., who was recently revealed as being playable in the new smash bros”
..I hope that’s a typo.
NPC - 04.26.07 3:33 am
Come on guys… It’s Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot… It’s obvious…
phoenixsflame - 04.26.07 3:37 am
Samus without armor

My Cousin Vinny?

Sonic?
XYU - 04.26.07 5:15 am
Honestly I think it looks like a super deformed Chun Li.
FoolsRun - 04.26.07 9:27 am
It looks like it could be a 3D version of Mr. Game & Watch, which is dumb and makes no sense. But whatever…
MARK - 04.26.07 9:50 am
Its Daisy. Look at the symbol on her skirt its a freaking daisy! Watch the video to get a better look.
RGX - 04.26.07 10:17 am
Chun Li

maybe its that robot guy from mario strikers?
Cyberiaknight - 04.26.07 12:35 pm
It’s a cat that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the series.
eskimo - 04.26.07 1:19 pm
the Nights guy
sh - 04.26.07 1:22 pm
Next time show a picture of a cloud and we can all play this game again.
fush - 04.26.07 1:25 pm
the bigger thing is… bowser jr was classified as being a new character for ssbb? source please?
JD - 04.26.07 3:39 pm
New character, looks like a female.
Lemond - 04.26.07 3:47 pm
It’s Watoadstool or however they’ll make her name ridiculous…could be Wadaisy, but I assume she would come in the next Mario random sport spin-off.
Baramos - 04.26.07 5:08 pm
It does look a lot like Mewtwo, but I sorta thought of Krystal or whatever her name is from Starfox Adventures. Would be weird to bring that character back for anything though.
sevex - 04.26.07 6:14 pm
It’s a Chocobo. The other six new captains are Ninja, White Mage, Black Mage, Moogle, and Cactuar
Marceliss - 04.26.07 6:55 pm
6=5 on April 26th
Marceliss - 04.26.07 6:56 pm
It’s Foamy the squirrel! Sitting on top of…LEGS!

“the bigger thing is… bowser jr was classified as being a new character for ssbb? source please?” -JD
Read the earlier comments. Bowser Jr. has NOT been confirmed for SSBB. That was a rumor that too many people believed without actually checking their facts that spun out of control. The guy who started that rumor like 6 months ago is STILL laughing up a storm about gullibility.
Toomin - 04.26.07 11:15 pm
You idiots saying all these stupid answers need to shut up. It couldn’t be anyone from starfox or metroid because the game is super MARIO strikers. its gonna be from a mario game. it might possibly be daisy from the party games or it might just be the robot from the ather game.
Chris Steele - 04.27.07 6:17 pm
my bad on the previous comment. daisy is already on the list.
Chris Steele - 04.27.07 6:18 pm
IT’s MEWTWO CHARGING UP HIS BLAST YOU IDIOTS
Max Steel - 04.27.07 7:13 pm
It looks a lot like Daisy, But I’m not sure who it might be. It looks like a robot. AHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I don’t know!
Tara - 04.27.07 7:31 pm
Well above it refers to the character as a “Him” So they might be tricking us. But it still totally looks like Daisy no doubt about it!
Tara - 04.27.07 7:34 pm
what’s with the baby bowser hate? y’all know he’s better than those crybaby plumbers.
omg.kittens - 04.27.07 9:15 pm
Tron?
Nah…
(please please please please PLEASE let Tron be a new addition to the Mushroom Kingdom!)
To me, it looks kinda like a shadowy version of Luigi in some Tron-esque glowy armour. As other people are guessing things that are already on the list, I’ll do the same. It’s Luigi, dressed up as Tron for halloween, and playing football. Now I’m really excited.
Miffy495 - 04.28.07 5:36 am
hmmm… i think it could be perhaps leo from vgcats? lol
hack3r.alex - 04.28.07 12:05 pm
I personally agree it looks like Krystal. There’s even what appears to be a bushy tail on the right.
Tony - 04.28.07 4:07 pm
It’s the dude from Kingdom Hearts!
MrLister - 04.30.07 2:23 pm
The teaser site has a direct feed. It’s Daisy all Flower Powered out…
