Not a big surprise or anything, but Mario will happen with launch. Thanks to Nintendo 2000 News and Nintendo's Online Magazine!

Whenever new hardware comes out, Mario has to play the leading part as the console's top batter -- that's why he has to exercise a lot," said Miyamoto. "Right now, he's getting in shape for the Dolphin. "You'll see a completely new side of Mario on Dolphin. Don't you agree that in recent times, both Mario and Luigi have become a little too cutesy? I feel like it is time that they became a bit more grown-up. That's where the Dolphin comes in. For example, right now, Mario always does the Victory sign with his fingers. I think that's a little too childish now. For the Dolphin version, I'd like to replace the V sign with an entirely new pose." The Nintendo Dolphin is expected to launch in the fall of the year 2000.
