I told Crescent Moon Villager about how I learned about the Donkey Kong Country cartoon series here, turns out hes a big fan of the song "Pirates Scorn", so he actually made me listen to the song : p Was not a big fan though : p
If Wario Land 6 (if shake it counts as 5.) ever comes to be, Ashley should be another player. Like, a 2nd player you can choose to play as if you'd like. Basic attacks like Wario. I think she would work great in the game and it would add more content to the game as well.
Wario's looking for gold, Ashley doesn't really care about the gold though. Wario, Ashley and Red will mostly be the main characters with a new main villain.
You know how in movies they make a characters costume/suit look cooler? such as to "fit" into the real world? Well, newer movies do that. I wonder if Ashley's dress/headband/etc would look darker and cooler if she was in a movie.
