Mario is SHORT remember? These are basketball players, of course they will tower over Mario. Luigi though...
Here's the thing. The way I see it, if you want a totally serious game, they will let you just ignore the Mario crew. They are added as a laugh for when you want something odd.
Now just one issue. Throwing Mario in an otherwise serious game is fine because the sheer contrast is pretty hilarious, plus the entire game is ABOUT another game so it's not like Mario being there is going to ruin some serious story, it just throws off the appearence. I mean, it's not like they wrote some story about the trials of the heart starring a boy who will eventually be lost and then returned to light and decided to toss Mickey Mouse in there. THAT would be silly :D. *Pauses Chain of Memories*
HOWEVER, is this game really any good? Adding in Nintendo characters to SC2 is great because the game is one of the best fighters ever made. Adding in Mario and company to a game that will likely be mediocre at best... I mean sheesh... I think Nintendo really is just out to make money with this deal. Oh well, I am just not enough of a Nintendo fan to buy this game just because Mario popped his fat head in there :D. *Bugs Bunny shows up* ....Oh yeah... this isn't a new thing...
Didn't someone once jokingly predict that Nintendo would be tossing Samus Aran into a new football game at some point?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
