After seeing all of these recent mockups for potential DLC characters in Super Mario Maker, I asked @Zem-raj of the Ridley Revolution to do the same for Black Mage:



What do you think? It looks awesome to me!

That looks really cool. I hope that can become a reality one day.

Provided that if Black Mage actually gets in as DLC, what kind of music do you want to see on his home stage (if he gets one)?

I've said this before, but what I would like to see most are both original chip-tune and remixed medleys of popular themes from FFI-VI, namely a Battle Theme Medley and an Airship Medley. It would also be nice if we had remixed themes of, say, Dancing Mad or Clash on the Big Bridge, especially if we had either Kefka or Gilgamesh as boss hazards.

And why even restrict ourselves to just themes from the mainline games when we could potentially have music from the spinoff games? I would kill for a Final Fantasy Mystic Quest Retro Medley!

i made this icon for Black Mage
That's really nice.

Come to think of it, I don't recall if we have any previously-existing Black Mage support icons, do we? I remember having N3ON's support icon in my signature a while back, but that's about it.

Since it's the last week before the Ballot ends, I went ahead and finally threw in a vote for the ol' sorcerer.

In the end, what matters most is that Nintendo is aware of Black Mage's iconic status in the Nintendo library of games and that they'll consider him as a Smash fighter in the future. If he (very likely) doesn't get into this game, then we'll just have to make sure our voices are still heard by the time the next Smash game comes around.
