This is incorrect phrasing. You wouldn't say that "the" Koopa is playable in Mario Kart. "The" Toad isn't used in Peach's neutral B. "The" Inkling is not playable; Inkling is, or if you're really picky about the grammar, "an" Inkling is -- generic, not specific over something that there are no specifics for. But that's not correct either, since we know both male and female Inklings will appear. Far and wide, people refer to the character in question as "Inkling". We can, too.

:I will argue this with the notable inclusion of "the" in international versions of the Wii Fit Trainer's victory screen ("l'Entraîneur Wii Fit", "el Entrenador de Wii Fit", "der Wii Fit-Trainer"), the usage of "[[mariowiki:Koopa Troopa#Mario Kart series|a Koopa Troopa first appears as a playable character in ''Super Mario Kart'']]" over on the MarioWiki, and [[Villager|the fact that we use that wording here]] [[Wii Fit Trainer|on the wiki already]].

::The Villager and The Wii Fit Trainer are also, generally speaking, singular entities. | |||
::Regardless, the fighter pages for both eliminate the article, as well as [[List of Super Smash Bros. 4 character posters]] and [[List of Super Smash Bros. 4 character trailers]], which are the most comparable pages to the one at hand. | |||
::Furthermore, [[Inkling]] does not include an article in its opening sentence. [[User:TheNuttyOne|TheNuttyOne]] 22:40, 25 April 2018 (EDT) | |||
