What Mario characters do you want to see playable in Mario Tennis Aces?

Mario Tennis Aces is the newest installment in the long-running Mario Tennis spin-off series! Being released for the Nintendo Switch in Spring of 2018, it aims to include things that haven't been included in a Mario Tennis game in a while, and never seen in a Mario Tennis game before! So far, the characters we know who will be playable in the game are Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Rosalina (with some Lumas by her side), Yoshi, Bowser, Toad, Toadette, Bowser Jr., Boo, Spike, Diddy Kong, Birdo, Paratroopa and, of all characters, CHAIN CHOMP! But who else will be playable? Well, that's what this poll is here to find out! ...Or at least, see who who people want to be playable the most.
