Mario is the only playable character people who ever did create these rumors to fool and trick people to pass on the lie. Wario is said to be playable in the N64 version, no, actually Wario is playable in the DS version. Waluigi is said to be a playable character in the N64 and DS version, again no, Waluigi is not playable in eather N64 version nor DS version. Luigi is also said to be playable in N64 version as a hot spot hunting grounds in the N64, no , he is playable in the DS version. Rumors are just retards, fools, false people, freaks, ***, whatever. Who would ever believe a freaking lie? I don't believe liars.
