Anyway, I'll check some videos of it and make sure the events are fun and enjoyable before I consider getting the game to play them as Espio and Wave Dude, the opening wasn't the full opening, Bill from the Nintendo Direct said so plus Dry Bowser's Flag was seen in the crowd so he is still playable plus the opening uses in-game graphics so since we know Dry Bowser is still in the game and it wasn't the full opening, we can assume once you unlock the rest of the characters, they'll appear in the podium.
