Super Smash Bros Headcanons

[bigbro2233]

Long and sad Ridley fanfic ahead, be prepared for a lengthy and heartbreaking read.

Spoiler

Ridley had been waiting to get into Smash Bros. for more than a decade. Ridley first noticed the fights when the first series of clashes began in Planet Zebes. He eagerly watched, curious of Samus and just why she was fighting such strange entities. Never before had Ridley seen such creatures. He had only seen Samus before, and his hunter's instincts drove him to crave fighting these people. After all, if he was a worthy opponent for Samus, surely he was able to fight Samus' enemies as well?

A few years past, and Ridley noticed something. It was as if time had suddenly stopped, as if he had stopped aging. None of the fighters aged. It was as if they fought forever. An eternity of fighting and glory seemed like a heavenly afterlife for the Space Pirate. A series of melees were announced, and Ridley was in the opening movie that Master Hand created. However, Ridley was not a fighter, but Ridley was happy. He had hopes, and nothing could stop him, he would be a Smash Brother one day.

After the melee, Ridley was approached by Master Hand. The hand told Ridley that he would finally be able to fight the Smash Brothers he had observed for years. However, it came with a catch. Ridley had to wait for a certain fighter to challenge him, and he had to share his position with several other characters as well, such as Porky Minch, the Hands themselves, and even a robotic clone of Ridley that Master Hand was able to create. Ridley, although not exactly what he wanted, was somewhat satisfied with his job. However, he wanted to fight who he wanted, where he wanted to be fought, and when he would fight. Ridley asked the two Hands for a role in the next series of fights, and the Hands began to think about it.

A few more years, and the next fight was announced to the Smash Brothers. However, this was not one tournament, but a two-in-one package! Ridley was eagerly watching every bit of news that was revealed about the fights. However one day, Ridley's heart was sunk. He saw a stage called the Pyrosphere, with his own shadow being visible. Ridley, in his sorrow, locked himself into the Smash Mansion basement. There, he met an abandoned R.O.B. unit, and made his very first friend in the Mansion. After discussing the situation with the R.O.B., Ridley decided he still had a chance. He would simply wait in the basement, starting a new leaf if he was announced.

However, Ridley was never called for the first series of matches. The R.O.B. unit, his only friend, was taken out of the basement by Master Hand, polished up, and was put into the first fight. Ridley then sat, truly alone, like the feared predator he was perceived to be. All he wanted was a chance to truly be a Smash Brother, and a tiny part of him still had hopes for the best for his future. However now, Ridley is convinced he will never be a Smash Brother, that his dreams would never be fulfilled, that the Hands has simply forgotten about him.

After all, who would listen to him? For he was just a cruel and mindless monster, in their eyes. To them, Ridley was a horrifying, sadistic, and brutal devil of a creature. They feared him, dreading his very presence. Not a single one of them wanted to be friends with Ridley.

They wouldn't understand.

Samus is the CEO of her own cell phone brand company: Samusung.

...that was a horrible pun and I feel bad.

 

[bigbro2233]

And now, Duck Hunt.

Spoiler

The Duck Hunt Dog approached the duck with the Smash invitation. Master Hand had simply invitated the dog, and at first, he gladly accepted. But now, he didn't feel right. He felt if he left the duck behind, it was part of him that was gone. It was all the dog ever loved, hunting with his owner. However, now that the owner was gone, the only thing he knew were the ducks.

The old man lay on his bed, rifle mounted on the wall. His faithful dog stood beside the bed, watching the man. They had so many good times together. The man remembered when he first found the dog in his field, he remembered how he tamed the dog. The dog had an incredible sense of smell, and the man took him on his duck hunts. Together, they made the perfect team. However, the man noticed that the dog never seemed to age, and although the dog found a little amusement when the man failed to hit a duck, he still loved the dog all the same.

The duck, at first, looked at the dog in confusion. Was it simply a trap? Was the dog sincere? The duck hadn't seen the dog or the hunter in over thirty years. The dog let the duck look at the letter, and the duck realized that the dog's invitation was real. The two animals looked at each other for a second, and nodded in approval.

The old man lay on his bed, medications on his table. He had not known just how long it was after he first noticed the disease. Doctors just couldn't find out what it was. All they could do was prescribe medicine to try to slow it down. The man knew from the start it wouldn't work, but he still tried it. He was only forty-two when he stopped hunting, the disease had weakened him. Now, he couldn't even pick up his rifle. But still, the loyal dog loved him, and the old man loved the dog. The two were an unseperable duo.

The dog and the duck had no idea when they reached the Smash Mansion, but when they did, a giant hand awaited them. The dog felt somewhat nervous, and the duck hud behind the dog. However, the hand simply opened the gigantic main doors, revealing several creatures inside waiting. A short man in blue overalls, a tiny pink ball with arms and legs, and someone the dog remembered. Someone who resembled what the man used to watch with the dog, the dog associated the man with green gloves as "boxer". The creatures inside immediately gave the dog and duck food, water, entertainment, and treated it with love. Master Hand addressed the two as Duck Hunt. And they were fine with that name.

The old man lay on his bed, and he was tired. The dog lay on the bed next to him, asleep. The man smiled, and thought about his life. Of the woman he met and married, and when she passed. Of his family, who gave him nothing but support, of his brother, his nephew. But most of all, he remembered the dog. The dog was like an angel who fall from the heavens and took on an animal form. The dog helped him so much, even in his darkest days. But the man was tired. He rubbed the dog's back, the way he always did, as he closed his eyes. The old man sighed in peace and fell asleep.

And the old man became one with nature.

The two halves of the Duck Hunt character are kinda like Pinky and the Brain, with the Dog being Pinky and the Duck being The Brain.

 

[Oz37]

Characters entering the Smash Tournament have the option to choose whether or not to play the villain, and can change this decision whenever they please on a match-by-match basis. That's why several good-guys have "evil" costumes/palettes. Here's a few specific characters and their villain statuses:

- Bowser plays the villain fairly often, but not always. He especially enjoys being the good guy against other tradition villains (specifically Ganondorf).
- Bowser Jr. loves being the bad guy, but like his dad he also takes pride in downing other baddies (especially the Koopalings).
- Speaking of the Koopalings, Wendy O., Ludwig, Morton, Larry, and Iggy are always bad. Roy likes to be kinda laid back sometimes, and Lemmy is just silly and rarely performs with real malice.
- Ganondorf is always evil in matches, taking pleasure from dominating his opponents. However, he is different off the battlefield, seeming to be wearied of fighting and appreciating the finer arts. He secretly enjoys listening to the other Zelda contestants play their instruments (Link and Zelda's ocarinas, Sheik's harp, and Toon Link's pan pipe or mystical voice-summoning wind waker).
- King Dedede enjoys "playing" a bad guy, even though no one really views him that way.
- Wario takes pride in his villainy, and never plans on changing. (he also beliefs chicks dig bad guys, but none of the Smash ladies do. At all.)
- I may have said this in the past, but Dr. Mario is the biggest villain of all. He hails from an alternate dimension where Mario became a mad scientist instead of a friendly plumber, and he's here to take experiment test subjects back to his home world. His pills are experimental drugs, and his cape is loaded with chloroform. Yeah. Creepy.

Whoa. That was... Gamechanging.

YEEEEEEAHHHHHH! (im so sorry)

Bowser hired Wii Fit Trainer to improve his fighting abilities and now they're friends, but Bowser doesn't like acknowledging it.

Too bad Pinky and The Brain split up.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Also Master Core is the personified anguish and hatred from all the cut characters that somehow infected the Hands.

I'm kinda thinking like this, but if I may expand on it some more:

The feelings of rage from the cut veterans was there since Brawl, but when Dr. Mario was the only cut veteran to return, envy was thrown into the mix and those negative emotions reached the boiling point, and thus Master Core was born.

 

[sushifreAk]

Waluigi is a real character, though mere mortals are not able to play as him.

 

[Arcadenik]

This is now my head canon.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Ike and Marth have a rivarly with Link and Toon Link, over who is the best swordfighting duo.
Ike and Marth think that the projectiles of the other team are unfair not in line with swordmanship and Toon Link and Link think that the counters of the other team are lame and cheap.

Both teams loathe Meta Knight.

That, and the entirety of Brawl in the Family and Game Theory is my SSB headcanon.

[Phantom High]

Some of the Smash characters visit other series' worlds.

on occasion, Marth and his wife, Ceada, visit Port City. Ironically Ceada is somewhat of a speed freak, thus she enjoys the F-Zero ride while Marth can see his life flashes before his eyes at least twice. Falcon always laughs and wonders who wears the pants in this relationship.

Diddy Kong got introduced to team Star Fox, and wants to be a pilot. Fox has been giving him personal coaching, with DK's consent that is. Star Fox does need more pilots and all Diddy asks is to fly the arwing...and bananas.

Samus adopted Lucas as her little brother. Typically they both go to other planets for missions, though Lucas is suppose to stay behind since Samus, being a typical big sister, doesn't want Lucas to get hurt. However Lucas and Boney explore some of the area thanks to the Rope Snake.

Little Mac goes to.Megaman's world so he can train against the Robot Masters. It seems like a good idea to him.

Olimar is sometimes asked by Meta Knight to help him explore the ruins.

 

[Blargg888]

Bowser hired Wii Fit Trainer to improve his fighting abilities and now they're friends, but Bowser doesn't like acknowledging it.

Yoshi then asked for help from the WFT as well. And they too, became friends.

I didn't see this headcanon until now, but I adopted it as soon as I saw this:

He's just standing there. Menacingly. Hunched up back and all.

If he was a "help people get better" kind of doctor, he wouldn't have such an easily avoidable condition...

(I'd seriously love if these two got their own adventure game series or something though)

There are two RP blogs for Rosalina and Bowser that are really inspiring me lately in terms of headcanons, in and out of Smash. One of them being that Bowser has a huge crush on Rosalina (they used to be just a crack ship to me but now I really like the pairing in every possible way). The catch is that the Bowser blog actually casts him as a human, as well as Bowser. Jr, the Koopalings, Boom Boom, Pom Pom. They even do art to go along with the answers sometimes, and animations too, for example:

And here's what the human Bowser (and Boom Boom and Pom Pom) look like:

 

[Robertman2]

is the same person as Roy the Koopaling. He became like that after got a hold of him.

Captain Falcon is chillin in his apartment one day then he visits smashboards

He finds this thread and begins to cringe so hard his face does a 360

He calls out his homies, Samus and Lucario into the room all like "HEY YA'LL COME LOOK AT THIS ****"

they both come in and read the OP, then Samus procedes to bash her head against the wall until her helmet cracks

Lucario just picks up the computer, looks at C. Falcon and says "that's enough internet for you"

then he chucks it out the apartment window and it lands on top of sonic, breaking every bone in his body

Falco...the Revolutionary
Shiek...the Shooting Star
Fox...the Genius
Jigglypuff...the Nightmare

Brawl it was:
Meta Knight...the Unstoppable

Olimar...the Controller
Ice Chimber...the Wonder Twins

 

[Brindor]

Headcanon on what became of M2 after Melee, and the creation of Villager.
I often like to think, that after was kicked from the Smash Mansion after the events of the Melee tournament, he was approached by the mayor of Smashville (Tortimer) if he was interested in being employed for a while.
agreed, and thus a partnership was formed between the two.

For years, was employed as a "detective" by Tortimer, and was tasked with several cases throughout the years. (All of which had a form of childlike and innocent nature around them, and none of them were really serious.)

After watching the final match in the Brawl tournament on T.V one night, began to hear loud banging on his door.
He opened the door to see a small kid standing in front of him, wearing one of the most creepiest smiles he had ever seen, and asking him to train him for the next Smash tournament.
Needless to say, M2 slammed the door on him.

Then it happened again and again and again and again.
couldn't take it much longer, the creepy stare, the long awful silence and the fact he never seemed to even move when they conversed. He even swore he saw glints of an axe outside his window several times. Then one night, M2 consented defeat towards him and began to make preparations to train the boy.

To prepare the boy for Smash, they needed to make a moveset for him to use in the official brawls. Thus, it was decided that the moveset would take inspiration from things and objects around Smashville, blending it in with a few simple punches and kicks that M2 taught the boy.

After a while, M2 formed a friendship with the boy, (A rarity, since outside of Tortimer, M2 hardly considered he was friends with any of the residents in Smashville.) and learned that he was a rather good kid in his heart.

When they were sending the application form, they decided on using the name "Villager" as his name in the tournament.
While they were finishing the application up, M2 decided to make it appear as though Villager had a creepy and mysterious nature around him, instead of a innocent one.
And thus, the creepy was born, trained by to become a stronger smasher then others.

 

[EmceeEspio]

Something that I've had in my head a long time...

Dr. Mario is Mario Mario's cousin.
Not Mario Mario.
He is 'Dr. Mario' because of the last name theory spawning from the movie and tying into other sources.

 

[ChikoLad]

Here's the map for Classic Mode on 3DS. As you can see, it's a very surreal and interesting looking world, that the various characters could fit right into.

Go nuts.

 

[Andyjoe522]

Alfonzo proved to be so helpful on the Spirit Tracks stage that he was promoted to Master Hand's right hand man (no pun intended). The Smash Mansion has been running smoother than it ever has before. Not long after, Spirit Tracks Link left out of jealousy of his Wind Waker counterpart's playable status and his mentor's promotion. That's why the Spirit Train is now left on autopilot whenever anyone is battling on it.

 

[Brickbuild101]

The pink-haired Villager is very mysterious. She refuses to talk about her town, her past, or even reveal her name. She appears to know about all the legends of the other characters, and already knew how to use every item. She even appears to have connections to the Master Core! Everyone simply knows her as "The Girl".

 

[Phantom High]

After watching Gaijin Goomba's video,I think the Smash Brothers are at war with AKB48 if the commercial is anything to say ever since the days of Melee.

Some people like , :mewtwo:, got hurt real bad during the war. Melee Pikachu died during that war, so Pichu evolved to avenge his brother.

Master and Crazy Hand then recruited as many characters as they could, including the titular Snake,.the ferocious , , constructed a mass army of ROBs, and even wario is doing this without reward. It really does seem like they can win this war.

But alas, the head of the digital idols, Hatsune Miku shows up. Not even their champion, Meta Knight, can stop her. With the last of their breath, , , okemontrainer: and, regrettably, :iceclimbers: were killed in the fray to give others a chance to escape. was last seen holding off an army of divas and idols with his bare hands.

This time the gloves came off. Master and Crazy Hand, with help from :mewtwo: created the Mii system to create an army of Miis. They also invited many if the most powerful newcomers such as and the mightiest of all . However they needed all the help they can get so long as they're willing to fight.
wants to protect his city and the people he came to love. Hell become the devil itself if he had to.
:4wiifittrainer: wants people to enjoy the outside world and not let people be dominated by idols.
was promoted to character and wants revenge for his friend
is here because she feels as though these idols can destroy the world and wants to stop them at all cause.
Pittoo claims he got nothing better to do, but really cares about the world and even wants his human friend, back.
DHD is only here for the fact he is looking for the ice climbers, unaware they're dead.

 

[powerprotoman]

allright heres my own personal bit of head canon
remember super mario galaxies ending? yo you do you save they day and a giant rosalina greets you we then cut to mario waking up and the words "Welcome new galaxy" are heard. pretty straight forward right? nothing wrong....right? now i want you to take notice of something after galaxy one it looked like the mario universe got rewritten as it were rosalina was appearing more often and luigi was implied to find her attractive now after that game we got brawl and you noticed something off about mario didnt you?...he was using fludd and not his signiture mario tornado lets rewind a bit shall we?
at the end of galaxy mario wakes up....he dosent fall from space or have the world materialize around him...no he wakes up as if he we dreaming but as we see the games events did happen
Now then you didnt think of it much mario games proceded normaly but they had this odd fixsation with the word "New" and the implied romance between daisy and luigi had all but disapeared and rosalina was becoming more and more important to the series, then smash 4 happened
Challenger Approaching! its DR mario now this was odd that he got in over major fan requests but even odder seeing as the last puzzle game involving a DR plumber was DR luigi and then you see it the mario tornado
now then why is he using the mario tornado? he isnt using Fludd at all isnt that strange and he seems really mad for some reason.....Welcome new galaxy it just hit you hasnt it the mario that woke up at the end of galaxy wasn't the mario you grew up with he was made on the spot by rosalina DR Mario is the original and why is he so mad because rosalina the litteral GOD of the mario series abandoned him and everything he knew he has somehow made it out of the old reality in order to track down rosalina and force her to remake his world even if he has to undo everything she has made piece by piece

and that my friends is my head canon as to why DR Mario is in smash 4

 

[Roy-Kun]

Headcanon: in Smash, Male!Robin is the "mainline" character for Lucina while Female!Robin comes from the Outrealms.

And no, Robin and Lucina are NOT married.

 

[vydran212]

Headcanon:

& are actually two different versions of Zelda-- being Twilight Princess Zelda & being Ocarina of Time Zelda. They were brought to the Smash universe in a similar vein to Hyrule Warriors.

Similarly, & are separate entities, w/ being the Samus we know and love, and being a possessed version of the suit ala Dark Samus.

That way it makes sense that they have separate slots.

If temporal causality doesn't matter, then no causality matters. Think of any explanation you wish, sir!
I would like that there are two real Samus, not some haunted shell ala S-X from Fusion. That way, there's more natural shipping opportunities.

 

[HammerHappy]

is secretly happy that beat the **** out of Chrom because she was worried that two Fire Emblem clones would result in one getting cut.

The Villagers, and the have banded together with a grudge against non-player characters (who have their own individual personalities and stories).
They plan to remove all the distinguishing features of the rest of the roster. Saws and sandpaper will be involved.

After years of being fed nothing but macaroons, finally lost it and devoured , and especially

After seeing Mario Kart 8, fell into a severe depression. This has been relieved since his inclusion into Smash 4 mostly thanks to and her work out shorts.


After a night of boozing, and kissed for a laugh. To this day uses the memory for "tension relief".
