Smash Brothers Mario is common, but Super Mario Mario is only bundled with Mario Party 10 in the US.
But yeah, this is how chase models should be, they shouldn't be Rosalinas.
Yea, I am totally cool with variants of the same character. They do that with everything from comic books to Game of Thrones novels to American Girl/MLP dolls to (yes) Disney Infinity and Skylanders. Some of those, like this one apparently, are quite rare and will go for a lot of money to collectors, despite the content/functionality being exactly the same (and I am pretty sure it is here too).
Rosalina, Shulk, FE characters, Villager, THAT type of thing is what I do not like. It's one thing to be blindsided by popularity, it's another thing to not comment about it and leave people guessing, or not release Wave 3 at the same time but in spurts (why the hell did they have waves within waves? God damnit)
