Considering the similarities to Super Mario Bros. 2, one might ask why the game's roster didn't include Princess Peach. In a Q&A session in NYC, Shigeru Miyamoto told reporters the honest answer.
"I thought it'd be nice to have her as a playable character, but the toad characters had a similar physique to a Mario character than Peach does. And if one of the four had a dress, we'd have to come up with a special programming to handle how the skirt is handled in the gameplay, and that's really the only reason why Peach isn't playable (laughs). Of course If we had Wario in there we'd have to program a way to make him fart. (laughs)"
So there you have it. A skirt and a fart singlehandedly brought the roster down to just Mario, Luigi, Toad.... and Toad.
