Hunting for hidden data on big name Wii U games has yielded some pretty accurate predictions on future DLC in the past. Ryu's inclusion in Smash Bros. for the Wii U and the 3DS was discovered way before it was announced, and most of the stages and weapons we've seen pop up in Splatoon in recent months were first found a while ago on semi-secret folders.
It will be interesting to see if that trend continues with Super Mario Maker. Hackers have been digging in to the games code and have found a lot of interesting stuff, including placeholders for the angry sun enemy from Super Mario Bros. 3, and references to character data character for Prof. E. Gadd, "Tetris", "GoldenRetri" (presumably a golden retriever from Nintendogs). "Mashiko" (the Japanese name for Mary O, the guide from Super Mario Maker's manual), Baby Mario, the Windows Logo, and more.
I was expecting Chibi Robo [Correction: Chibi is actually in the game already] or Shovel Knight to join the game's already lengthy list of crossover cameos before any of those guys, but I certainly won't complain if the Windows Logo becomes a playable Mario character. Maybe Nintendo could return the favor by allowing an actual Nintendo 64 to be a guest fighter in Killer Instinct Season 3. I'm sure the 90's kids would go bananas for that.
