Exiled from Continuity: Due to Nintendo’s mandates, original characters of at least mainline species (such as most of Mario’s partners and Kammy Koopa) from games released prior to Sticker Star are no longer allowed to make appearances in the Paper Mario series itself. This restriction does not appear to be retroactive, or may even be removed entirely, as Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door’s remake contains a number of theoretically affected characters keeping their designs, with newly created poses and back viewing sprites to boot, along with new characters being added that follow a similar design template, such as Ian Foomus the Little Mouser.
