I didn't see a topic like this nor saw the Olympics thread bumped for some time so forgive me if this has been posted before.
Anyway, DK, Silver, Birdo, and Jet were meant to be playable in the Mario and Sonic crossover game. But for some reason, they were dropped. DK and Silver, I can probably understand (DK isn't bipedal and the Silver wouldn't use his psychic power so his reason would be useless.) but not Birdo and Jet.
Of course, this would have mean we would have gotten 20 characters Sega said. And it's obvious that the type of each character are as follow
DK- Power (duh)
Silver- Technique
Birdo- Balance
Jet- Speed

I think that most people didn't really give a damn about Mario and Sonic and so when the first site put up a low review they filtered it out of their minds. Whatever. I think of it as a sequel to Wii Sports, personally. With some of my favorite characters added in for some reason.
That's really disappointing about the characters, though. Since M&S: Olympics was such a character driven game with only minor differences between the characters I figured that they should pack in as many characters as they had time to animate. I also found the lack of DK kind of sad. I'd be okay with Silver or Jet being in on the games as well. Birdo sure looks ugly in that picture though. There really wasn't much unlockable content in the game, either, so once you had all of the events and cups unlocked your only real challenge aside from world records was collecting character's emblems. That really wasn't much of a big deal to me. Doing those sort of things to earn extra characters would have been pretty engaging.
But, ah well.

APATHY STRIKES AGAIN!
Well, that's my excuse.
XDXD! Man...I wish Jet was in M&S. Honestly...I want to see Jet in a game that doesn't involve anti-gravity hover board things. Throw in the rest of the Babylon Rouges too. Bonus characters would've been nice for real. I have a hard time believing Sega made that game to to be honest. Super Sonic's not in it. *drum roll*
I just re-read what I wrote and holy cow! I used the word character(s) seven times in that block of text and three of them appeared in the same sentence! I must have been brain dead tired or feeling redundant or something.
XDXD! Wow...you did. Freak. lol
Freak.
stop that
Oh. Sorry. I wasn't sure if that was one of the words or not. Shall not happen again.
Dream Platform is how Shadow fell from the ARK in SA2.

Haha, yes yes. Definitely.
That is an interesting thing about characters in the Olympic games.
