This is a topic that is often times discussed on Mario Forums...and this is one! So, putting two and two together, what Mario character that has only had one appearance would you bring back? Would it be for a mini game compilation like Mario vs. Sonic or Mario Party? A sports game like Mario Kart? Or a full fledged adventure?
To me, I'd say Mack is that character. Obviously, I'm a little biased, but I think Mack could have a role similar to that of Fawful - an underling that rises up to take over. He'd be a great antagonist - maybe with the help of Bowyer! :0)
So, how about you?
Croco and Boshi in a Yoshi game come into mind with a lot of potential. Asides from that I've always felt more Mario-RPG Characters or at least references could be thrown into the mix. Why not have a regular 3D Koopa dressed up and looking similar to koops? I'm sure lots would like that in say Mario Party or something.

Sir that is an understatement.
I would bring back Croco and Boshi. They were pretty awesome characters from a very memorable game.
I think everyone wants to see Baby Daisy and Baby Wario in more games. Pretty much any character from Super Mario RPG would work, like Booster.
I have trouble imagining Booster's return in anything but a bit part.
All of the following I'm I'm talking about 3D games, maybe as a small part of a big game, some with a big part maybe, or in a Party/Sports game.
This is in no special order, just in the order they come to mind.
Geno, he returns, and so people will recognize him, he possesses the same doll or makes an illusion of said doll.
Boshi, he could either return in a Yoshi game or a Mario game with Yoshi in it.
Koops, just because he wears clothing, and I never thought about it until 3K mentioned it.
Flurrie, just for giggles.
Baby Yoshi, all models of him too, and if he's in a game with dialog, he still calls Mario "Gonzales."
Parakarry, because he's awesome.
Croco, he would be good as an enemy in a Party/Sport game, maybe he stole the trophy?
Wart, this guy deserves a big role though.
Daisy, sure she's in the Party/Sports games, but she should be in another regular game some time.
Giga Bowser, though he appeared in 2 games, I think it would be epic to include him in a regular game at least once.
The Shadow Sirens, Vivian could help somehow, and the 2 sisters could be part of the evil again, possibly even the Shadow Queen, but that may be too much.
Bobbery (SP?), all the 3D Bob-Ombs have no character, Bobbery has a giant stache, hat, and steering wheel on his ass.
The list goes on.
I just remembered, I'd edit this in my last post, but these guys are too important to be lost in a long list.

This.
Also, Boshi, Geno, and Baby Yoshi. Maybe Goombella or Goombario too.

I was gonna say that but something distracted me. I agree, and I remembered their name when I was gonna put it on the list but now I no longer remember it x_X

...seems too predictable. I agree as an enemy, it can come back. But I was thinking more of characters with, well, character.
Geno. Actually, if it weren't for copyright issues...
Boshi wins this thread.

Geno returned in M&L: SS as the instruction person of the minigame where you throw stuff in Pirahna's mouths or whatever, I don't think Copyright would be an issue if he already returned slightly.

It was a character model, and I just about guarantee it was a wishy washy line even then. Square left a very clear message at the end of the notices claiming him to be their own.
Ah, well he's not a very big character so if there is a problem, I doubt Geno will return as more than that, 'cause I doubt Nintendo will buy Geno like they had to with Diddy.

Well, Nintendo, you got some 'splaining to do.[/s]
Oh, never mind.

Notice how most (if not all) are from Paper Mario, I think they would all be good in other games (possibly small roles), but yeah, Paper Mario introduces a lot of awesome characters that would be badass to see in 3D.

Nintendo bought Diddy? I thought DK's characters were Nintendo's as a part of the deal when Rare was sold to Microsoft?
Bandit from Yoshi's Island needs a role. He was a pretty cool enemy.

I think that was still being discussed when Melee was being made or something, 'cause before Melee, Diddy had no logo on his hat, in Melee, there was a Dixie trophy, but no Diddy, and after Melee, Diddy had the Nintendo logo on his head. Something happened there, I don't remember the details anymore.
