Problem is, those are bad examples. I'd argue that they're the "wrong type of spin-off" and thus incomparible to what the Mario RPGs are. And I think Nintendo feels the same way. I mean, the fact that the Paper Mario games are now based entirely on the main Mario universe and not the Paper Mario universe says it all.

Long story short, it seems unlikely that a Mario RPG character will ever appear outside their RPG series and we shouldn't expect it to. So, sorry.
