Bring back the funny Mexican sombrero guy.

[svindel]

He was in the first game, and I am utterly disappointed that he is not represented in this otherwise amazing game.

[Omegatherion]

Probably for the same reason they tried to ban Speedy Gonzalez. Some sensitive people could get triggered by his appearance.

He isn't in this one? Ah, I guess that explains why I haven't seen Israel Blargh! playing as him in the sequel.

I personally miss Meatboy...

Him too. Where is he.

I feel for you, I'd hate it if my "main" wasn't in the sequel.

Meatboy's absence in the sequel I can understand as he was pretty much an easter egg in the first game.
I just wish everyone from the original was included, having the Sombrero guy in the sequel and called Paco, would've been a pretty cool easter egg for Israel Blargh (afaik he played mostly him and named him Paco).

Literally have not heard anyone say that ever about good ol Paco.

Wonder if there is some way to mod some characters characters in.

They can't, such thing is considered kind of racist nowadays. You can thank politicisation of everything.

Stereotypical != Racist

People who think so should get a grip.

Us Americanos have an issue distinguishing them from one another.

Agreed also where is OG Yang he was my favourite character in Spelunky 1

[Coach Mildew]

Hey, at least he didn't get a cool redesign and get teased in front of you as a stupid NPC despite him being your favorite in the first game (Van Horsing).

Just Gamers being Gamers. The strawmanned boogeyman of the sensitive PC guy is real. Seriously, people don't care like people say they do. You go hunting for outrage to be outraged about and this is the rich discourse you get. Anti-SJW, politicized babbling is much more pervasive, especially in gaming communities.

For instance, the Gamer brain sees non-white, non-male protagonists as "political" and will complain endlessly about some agenda. I didn't think that kind of garbage would be on a Spelunky message board, but sure enough, the main character being a girl, a thread already exists full of people complaining (not this thread), so much so that it had to be locked and addressed in a pinned FAQ.

Some people need to get educated and grow up.
