I suppose it ties into my bigger issue of people wanting "canon, canon, canon" all the time in Smash while leaving no room for changes that better adapt something to a different environment.Piggybacking off of this, Melee Mario is honestly my favorite depiction of Mario not only in Smash, but maybe even ever. He's determined, yes, but still chipper and expressive as always. Compare to Brawl-and-beyond Mario where he's just kind of angry all the time. Not anywhere near as appealing nor true to the character.
Again, there's nothing wrong with wanting canon references, but if it overtakes the portrayal to the point of not fitting the new environment, it becomes a problem. It's an issue that encompasses even movie adaptations of comic superheroes. There needs to be a balance.
