I always found it weird how everyone still refers to your character as "Mario" despite you probably not playing as Mario. What if we had a feature or mod that changes NPC text to have them say the name of the character you're playing as?
 
This would be interesting. I believe dialogue is handled by the ROM that is currently being played, if so this would be difficult to accomplish perfectly.
Perhaps adding a conditional that replaces "Mario" in dialogue boxes with either the selected character, or the player's username.

I'd personally prefer selected character over username, and it'd be cool if there was a way for Character Select to make use of such a system as well for custom skins/characters, so those names can show up in dialogue as well.

Now that Coop DX v1.0's been released for some time now, just wanted to bring up this suggestion again
