User blog comment:Blazing Flare/MARIO AND SONIC AT THE RIO 2016 OLYMPIC GAMES CONFIRMED/@comment-26137541-20150601110431

If they can make Zazz of all characters playable, surely they can think of bringing back Marine? Even if it's just in one of these Olympic Games spin-offs?

Nabbit for Team Mario? Really?

These are some odd choices for new characters they've made.
