I want to know why none of the "eating" attack characters can't eat Olimar's Pikmin. It would've been hilarious to watch Wario eat a Pikmin and the ghost to come out of him.
Hilarious, yes. But also very, very annoying when you're trying to eat Olimar, but you instead grab a Pikmin, only to get smashed a second later. It probably isn't in there because it would make grabbing Olimar too difficult, giving him an unfair advantage.
(Yes, I realize this thread is old; I'm just now getting around to reading it.)
