You know, Brighton from Mario Party 6 and Mr. Bright from the Kirby series are both characters based on the Sun. And Twila and Mr. Shine from the same sources are both characters based on the Moon.

So which duo would be the Echo Fighters? The Mario Characters or the Kirby Characters?

So about 4 years ago I hosted a stage creation contest here on Smashboards. In fact the thread for it is still around.

And lately I’ve been feeling the itch for another one. Problem is, if I host another one I feel like I would have to be one of its judges. And this time I would rather compete in a contest like that instead.

So that’s a bit of a dilemma I find myself in right now.

You know, there was a time where I had a bit of an obsession with the idea of games that were spiritual successors to oldschool franchises that either stopped getting games or started getting games that were divisive among fans at best, and straight up put the franchise in a decline at worst.

Bloodstained for Castlevania, Bug Fables for classic Paper Mario, what the currently unreleased Pizza Tower is trying to be for Wario Land, things like that.

Nowadays I'm not as obsessive with the concept, but I do still find the whole thing fascinating enough to where I've been brainstorming some ideas for Smash bosses that basically fuse enemies from the classic franchises and their spiritual successors into one boss.

So far I've come up with 4, but for the sake of this post not being too long, I'll only share 2 right now.

First is a boss from Banjo-Kazooie and Yooka-Laylee. It's Gruntilda riding on her broomstick, but she's carpooling (broompooling?) with Capital B, who is reading out the world tome (the magic book where the Pagies come from) to enhance Gruntilda's Magic. I call this boss "World Tome Witch"

The Second one I have for today involves Mega Man. Mighty NO. 9 tried and failed to carry the torch, but like others, I think Azure Striker Gunvolt was a rousing success in this regard. But people are also quite fond of 20XX on this whole thing, so I decided to combine all 3.

It's Dr. Wily in his latest Wily Machine, but said Wily Machine is built out of the same material as the Repro's in 20XX, and is equipped with Septimal Weaponry like that of Gunvolt's Rival, Copen. Also known as iX in the Luminous Avenger timeline. I call this boss "Wily Repro iX"

So I saw Wario Wario Wario's signature saying how Corridor Platformers are real 3D Platformers and I thought "What's a corridor platformer?". So I looked it up, and now that I know what they are, I must admit I'm surprised this is even a debate. I would have thought it'd be super common for people to believe that corridor platformers are real 3D platformers.
