I feel the SMSB thread has been really fun because we all have a shared vision. We all know what games we want represented, and we all know what characters fit in or don't.

The closest thing to a worry about overrep/bias we have is I guess either between Wario; DK; and Yoshi, or between WarioWare and Wario Land, and even then I think we've done good on the prior (a little in DK's favour, but DK is a much bigger series than both in terms of popularity and game quantity so it's understandable) so far and it's too early to say if Wario Land will completely overshadowed.

Even though the songs' similarities is probably coincidental, I will probably submit Duel Zone as a song in SMSB if we get a second, more Mario Land 2-adjacent Wario's Castle stage.

now I think about it, shouldn't Meta Crystal return on virtue of being Metal Mario's stage? I've been kinda on-and-off about bringing back Wuhu as well so maybe I'll do a discussion round relating to both stages.

I feel Geno's treatment in Smash, putting aside my biases, is a perfect example of Smash's current lack of direction. If this is a "celebration of gaming history", there is way too much Geno in Smash considering he was prioritised in negotiations over the likes of Tomb Raider; Space Invaders; Hitman; Chrono; Gex; Bubble Bobble; other FF games; e.t.c., but if this is an "ultimate Nintendo fanservice game" there is nowhere near enough Geno and way too much Final Fantasy 7 specifically. Banjo is in an extremely similar situation.

Let's be 100% honest here, any two celebrities could've had that fued and people would find Dreamworks characters to animate them with.

I think Shovel Knight and Undertale are both series I'd rather not have in Fraymakers, but if they were to be there I'd only want the SK rep to be one of the knights who didn't get a campaign, and the Undertale rep to be from the first game but neither Frisk; Chara; nor Sans.

Here's a mega-list of things I'm salty about from the Infinite Spirit team

Generally not informing me of changes made to my Spirits
Bumping ? Block and Phantom of the Bwahpera down to Advanced instead of Legend
Disregarding Banana and Blinky (Naked) as joke spirits without further elaboration on the doc - they have given their reasons for Banana which I think are understandable, but either way the lack of information on it and Blinky (Naked)'s rejections in the doc is quite bad
In general, lacking good detail on the docs over why spirits are rejected - like Wario's Nose listed as being excluded because "nose" and not any actual reason, or the Tiny Warios enhanced form of Tiny Wario's reason for exclusion being "one is enough"
Renaming Pac-Dot to "Power Pellet" (a completely different object within the Pac-Man universe) and bumping it up to advanced even though the Spirit battle was supposed to be comically easy in nature
Approving Pac-Dot without the Pac-Maze summonable Spirit, as the idea was intended to be that you'd get a ton of the really easy Pac-Dot spirits to summon a Pac-Maze spirit like real Pac-Man
Not allowing the Expansion Pack Spirit because non-ROB accessories didn't get spirits in Ultimate - instead of just allowing more accessory spirits so Expansion Pack wouldn't be an outlier
Disregarding every change I've proposed for an Ultimate Spirit except for Toadette
Not allowing locations as Spirits
Not allowing my Typing Adventure and Pokémon Trozei spirits even though other insignificant Pokémon spin offs like Pokémon Cafe Mix were allowed and Tying Adventure is repped with a music track
Rejecting the Plok Spirit but keeping the Plok music
Qualifying my first 3 Halloween spirits even though I requested them to evaluate the Atari Halloween spirits upon learning of the 3 Spirit maximum
Changing the Flicky spirit to a general Animal Friends spirit and removing the classification as being from Flicky instead of Sonic.
Rejecting almost every 16-bit spirit that isn't from EarthBound
Not allowing the Nitro Squad to be an enhanced form of the Trophy Girls even though there's prescedent for older designs of characters enhancing into the newer redesigns
Using fan art for the Fighting Polygon Team on the Wiki instead of the model rips I used in my submission
Not allowing the Gex spirit because "stingy Square wouldn't want to acknowledge a dead IP!" even though Geno is in Smash.

One idea from Mario Kart SGP that I love (even though it was partially mine) was having Eggman as DLC without Sonic but following him up with Sonic in the next DLC pack as a cute little "Sonic saves the day!" mini-story arc. In both early SGP and current SMSB I try to consider how the younger and more casual Mario fandom would react to certain choices, and that concept sounds like something that would be super fun for a little kid.

I much prefer real world references for alt costumes when possible over references to other characters from a series canon.

The SMSB thread is VERY long away from DLC, but I do have an idea for a great way to start it off. Hope I don't forget it by then.

I think I'd prefer Kamek as an Ashley clone in SMSB than a unique fighter, but I guess we could find a way to make him unique if he gets in.

I was looking up the Disney show "Blam!" (basically officially sanctioned and totally X-treme CinemaSins versions of Goofy cartoons) and found this unrelated shirt featuring artwork that I assume crossed the multiversal streams from the "Disney All-Star Brawl" universe

I love the new theme song for Fraymakers, it's a pure, unfiltered combo of competition and joy - makes me wish even harder that Smash would finally get out of its mid-2000s angsty teen phase.

I'm starting to warm up to the idea of a guest character in SMSB, but it's definetly gonna be saved for DLC and have some kind of caveat rather than just being "one extra veteran"

Robbit, while not one of my most wanted, is a perfect example of the kind of third parties I want in Smash - he originates from the real first 3D platformer, predating Mario 64 by about a year, and would be a good way to show Nintendo fans that it's not one company making all the innovations, and history isn't just written by the winners.

I like that Piranha Plant is in Smash, but the fact that a widely merchandised mainstay of the highest grossing game series of all time is considered Ultimate's "quirky, unexpected character" and not an actual obscure character upsets me. Trailers are a burden on Smash roster-wise and I hope the next Smash does away with them alongside the treatment of every newcomer as a VIP and hypemongering as a whole.

There's only two characters left to provide alt costumes for in SMSB - I'll probably change the schedule from "music-alt-music-alt" to "music-taunts-music-final smash" once Mama & Tuxie and Fawful & Cackletta's alts are decided and do alt costumes at the same time as a newcomer's addition

Hold up, the new NSO lineup is actually awesome!

Earthworm Jim 2! Mappy Land! Dig Dug 2! Those are classic games! Dunno why their respective prequels aren't there though (I mean, Dig Dug and Mappy's NES ports are both on the Namco Archives NEScollection, but that doesn't explain Jim)

When people say "stop pandering to nostalgia!" they actually mean "start pandering to MY nostalgia!"

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 30, 2022

I think a Mario-Sonic crossover could be good as long as:

Both characters have 2D gameplay (I prefer classic but I wouldn't mind Dimps for Sonic either) but use locations from both 2D and 3D platformers (primarily the prior for Sonic and the latter for Mario)
There is no plot whatsoever like Generations - just "here's a new villain, go indulge in some nostalgia"
Only have Mario versions of Sonic stages and vice versa, no Sonic in Green Hill Zone or Mario in Bob-Omb Battlefield.
Don't force Sonic gameplay into Mario gameplay or vice versa, (so ? Blocks would functionally just be monitors and vice versa, coins fly out of Sonic and Mario still collects power ups) but instead focus on individual level gimmicks (like Mario having to walk in water instead of swim with an air limit, or Sonic having to deal with Green Snake Blocks and beep-flipping panels)
Use the classic Sonic designs and have character interactions primarily be silent phantomime (with maybe Eggman and - if he's included - Wario being the sole speaking characters) I know this is probably the most controversial choice here but I think the modern designs are a little jarring around the Mario cast, and their tendency to be very vocal wouldn't help
