Why are there no females in the game? Are they considered "too weak" and must be rescued, like princess Toadstool in SMB1? Lara Croft, Ayane from the Dead and Alive series, Oni and Samus are all pretty damn lethal. Maybe there is a female or two whose names I haven't heard of, and maybe this was all due to the suggesions' thread, but I'm just curious about this anyway.
