What are mahjong tiles you ask? They are tiles of Chinese origin that are used to play mahjong as well as mahjong solitaire and other games. Although they are most commonly tiles, they may also refer to playing cards with similar contents as well.
Now you may be wondering. What on earth does a mahjong tile have to do with Nintendo? Well... there was a Japan-only game called Yakuman developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo for its handheld Game Boy system. A sequel for the Nintendo DS was released later called Yakuman DS. Yakuman is the name of the winning hand in the Chinese board game, mahjong. Players have to beat the opponent's hand by either matching panels of different numbers within the same family or by grouping panels that belong to the same family in different numbers. The options to turn off the background music for the game and to manipulate the difficulty of the game's artificial intelligence can be found on the main menu. Players have a choice of five opponents to play with; four male and one female.
In addition, there was a game released earlier for the Famicom called Mahjong. Mahjong is a video game for the Famicom that was released exclusively in Japan. It is based on the Japanese version of the Chinese board game known as Mahjong, which is commonly known as Reach Mahjong. The game allows for two players to play at once, which is two less than the normal Mahjong game. Interestingly, the game was included exclusively in the Japanese version of the GameCube game Animal Crossing. While Mahjong wasn't released elsewhere around the world (excluding Hong Kong, which featured an English manual), other future games that included Mahjong were released in America and Europe such as Clubhouse Games.
Why should Mahjong Tile be considered as a Smash fighter? Here are some reasons:
- It would be unique! Let's be real. There are no characters in Smash Bros. that fulfill the quota of being a tile-based fighter. Mahjong Tile could flip, spin, and stack its way to victory!
- Mahjong Tile is still relevant. As you may already know, Super Mario Maker was just recently released, and there are 100 different costumes that can be "worn". Guess what one of those costumes is... That's right! Mahjong Tile!
- It would let people have more insight into Nintendo's rich past from before they made video games.
Now here are some arguments against Mahjong Tile and my responses to them:
- It would be too random!
- It's literally just an object! How would it even be a fighter?!
Here's a sample of Mahjong Tile's move set:
Neutral Special: Duplicate (Mahjong Tile makes a copy of itself. The copy temporarily attacks opponents. Only one copy can be spawned at a time.)
Side Special: Growing Slide (Mahjong Tile slides across the ground or platform and grows in size while shoving the opponent and dealing damage.)
Down Special: Flatten (Mahjong Tile "leaps" into the air and slams down on the opponent, flattening him/her/it which leaves the foe temporarily paralyzed.)
Up Special: Tile Chain (Mahjong Tile separates into smaller tiles and forms a link which moves towards its target and deals a small amount of damage. This can also be used as a recovery move.)
Final Smash: Hanafuda Rain (Many Hanafuda cards are summoned in the sky which move in random directions at random speeds, dealing massive damage to any opponents.)
