''[[Cracked.com]]'''s [http://www.cracked.com/article_20657_the-6-most-bizarre-ways-to-lose-popular-video-games.html The 6 Most Bizarre Ways to Lose Popular Video Games] describes it as containing "Havelock the leader, Piero the geeky inventor, and Callista the woman."
* [[Real Life Writes The Plot]]; the reason ''[[Super Mario Wonder]]'' averts this Trope by including Daisy as a playable character is because, as the developers claim, their own daughters (who beta tested the game) would argue over who would use Peach in multi-player mode. They later decided to add Toadette too to the roster, making the playable cast five guys and three gals.
