Line 249:
** Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach. They're DLC characters who are responsible for the roster having ''four'' Marios and Peaches, and a slap in the face to fans who hate that they have to spend money on ''these'' characters to get access to Link and the new cups.
** Gold Mario. He gets this a bit less since he's an alternate skin to Metal Mario who lacks his own slot, but it doesn't change the fact that as of ''Deluxe'', ''Mario Kart 8'' now has ''five'' playable Marios. He's also the only secret character, making him feel like an underwhelming reward for those who put in the time and effort to unlock him.
** While the new characters added to ''Deluxe'' via DLC are all beloved fan favorites, there is one exception to the rule: Peachette. She's ''yet another Peach clone'' whose presence baffled and infuriated fans the very second she was revealed, and stole a slot from more popular characters such as Dixie Kong, King Bob-Omb, Hammer Bro, and R.O.B at the last possible second.
* The spirit of the Dream Stone from ''[[Mario and Luigi Dream Team]]'' is an obnoxious, abrasive asshole that does everything in its power to be as unhelpful as possible when Mario, Luigi, and Prince Dreambert try to consult it. Even though Bowser and Antasma plan to use its physical form to cause trouble, it jeers at and insults the heroes while forcing them to chase it all around Dreamy Dozing Sands. And when it's cornered, it decides to ''kill'' them by turning into a massive robot. Thankfully, [[Catharsis Factor|you get to beat the tar out of it during the boss battle that follows]].
Line 274 ⟶ 275:
** To a lesser extent, Fi, more or less for being [[Stop Helping Me!|extremely]] [[Captain Obvious|unhelpful]]. She has a knack of reiterating a piece of information said by an NPC [[Viewers Are Goldfish|literally five seconds after said NPC finished talking]], [[Captain Obvious|pointing out your shield is damaged or your hearts are low]], and in contrast to Tael and Midna, she's cold, stoic and almost robotic. It makes you wonder if the Goddesses created her to prepare one of his reincarnations for Navi.
*** However, {{spoiler|her farewell at the end of the game [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|rescued her from the scrappy heap]] for some.}}
* In ''Breath of the Wild'' and ''Tears of the Kingdom'', the Koroks qualify as a Scrappy ''Race''. Thanks to being tied to both games' [[That One Sidequest|longest and most tedious sidequest]] (which manages to be a complete waste of time if you go for 100%, just to add insult to injury) these cute little tree guys are hated far more than any monster or [[Demonic Spiders|Guardian]]. Their new escort missions where you have to lead an immobile Korok to its friend in ''Tears of the Kingdom'' instantly attracted a ''lot'' of eye-rolling and groaning... only for players to quickly find out that they're a blessing in disguise. Since you can stick Koroks to vehicles and other contraptions that you make for the purpose of making transportation easier, [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|that also means you can attach them to ''Korok torture devices'']] so you can get [[Take That, Scrappy!|sweet, sweet revenge against the annoying little pests.]]
