You know, I'm glad Geno is getting more attention in the SiivaGunner community than he has in the actual video game scenery. What do I mean by that? He hasn't been in a video game since Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Sure he had a cameo appearance in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, was a Mii Gunner outfit in Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U, and he's a spirit in Smash Ultimate, but it's not the same as how he was in the titular SNES title he originated from. He hasn't made a return because Square Enix, Super Mario RPG's developers, own the rights to the character, not Nintendo themselves. You can easily say they should make a sequel to Super Mario RPG, but it's not likely to ever happen as neither Nintendo or Square Enix are interested. The game's co-director, Yoshihiko Maekawa, said "Actually, I don't feel like I want to return to that world and use those characters in another game. I feel like I was able to accomplish what I wanted to with that world, those characters & the gameplay ideas that came out of those. Now, I mostly feel like I want to make something different." Regardless of Super Mario RPG never getting a direct sequel, it will still be known as the first RPG Mario game. Without it, neither Paper Mario or the Mario & Luigi series would exist. Hopefully in the future when Square Enix isn't being stingy, Geno will finally be a fighter in Smash Bros. With that said, I look forward to more rips that Geno has in the upcoming King for Another Day Tournament since there's already Weapons Factory & Ken's Theme for him so far. Even if he doesn't win the tournament, I'd be pleased with the rips he has. Okay, I wrote enough in this comment. Bye everyone & have a good day, afternoon, or night-whatever it is where you're located.
