I was going to do a "Nickelodeon Rejects Brawl" roster for the here's the keys thread, but it turns out Nick rejected way less big cartoons than I expected - the roster I ended up with was basically just "Cartoon Network All-Star Brawl" from a world where Turner acquired The Proud Family; Phineas & Ferb; and VeggieTales.

When it comes to guests in crossover games, I have basically the exact opposite view from most - instead of "do they have a connection to the base company?", it's "would they still make sense if the connection weren't there?". So I'd prefer Chief and Clippy over another Rare rep in Smash; or Shrek and Megamind over the Penguins in NASB (Po is a good pick though)

If Gex had a reboot, I think it'd be pretty cool to - instead of just completely shifting to streaming services - have both a TV world and a streaming world, with the TV versions of stages being barren and mid-apocalyptic, giving it harsher platforming, while the streaming world is more habitable but also uncensored, meaning fiercer enemies and combat to deal with.

Does anyone remember that weird Instagram account that was an ARG told through Monsters Inc. Impact font memes?

For today's SMSB stage job, I was kicking myself for not allowing WarioWare and SM64DS micro/minigames after posting, but honestly once the submissions started coming in I was really glad I made that choice - one of the best submission lineups thus far.

If the Banjo-Threeie GameCube box art was real, it would really show how out-of-touch Nintendo and Rare are with their audience. Showing an underwater level is the worst possible way to market a platformer.

Guess it wouldn't be the first time though.

The reason Sora has normal shoes now is because they had to do a tie-in with Nike to justify doing a Laika crossover

Yooka Laylee & The Impossible Lair's platforming is

, but the overworld puzzles make it an extremely tedious play.

I don't think games that try to shove as many genres in as possible is something people are particularly nostalgic for from the late 90s.

There is only ONE valid per-company wishlist

One of the most fun parts of watching through Rocko as a 2000s/2010s kid is seeing little details and jokes that would later be reused in shows of my generation created by people who started on Rocko - Really Really Big Man being a superhero who is both real and fictional like Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy; Rocko & Ed Bighead's relationship basically being that of SpongeBob and Squidward; The Bloaty and Squirmy episodes being direct prototypes for Phineas & Ferb's episode structure; a lot of references to characters and products named "Ferb" or "Ferbs"; so on.

I can't wait to get to the climate change/recycling episode since that's said to be the inspiration for Phineas & Ferb's 2-songs-an-episode structure - plus old environmental media is often really comforting since it shows how far we've come since then.

I'm a bit behind when it comes to cartoons, behind my time even, and it certainly showed in me during NASB pre-launch
"What do you mean you don't know who Powdered Toast Man is? He's an iconic cartoon character! also what the HELL is a Toph?"

SMSB is probably going to have an unlockables job right before launch, but for now I like to imagine the game starts you with just Mario; Luigi; Peach; Bowser; and Yoshi with Peach's Castle; Bowser's Castle; Melee Mushroom Kingdom; Mushroom Kingdom U; and either Star Road or Mario Circuit U, and characters and stages are unlocked in random order - every 2 battles for stages and every 4 for fighters. No challenger approaching battles.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 10, 2022

I did some calculating and it seems SMSB is currently primed to, if it continues at is current speed, have 105 stages by the end of base game. Since I want to one-up SSBU with stages I'll probably be doing a few more multistage jobs, even if not on the same scale as the competitive stage job, so it can at the very least have more than Ultimate's 114. I don't think 200 is attainable without either making the thread really repetitive or losing the sense of tension in voting though.

Unironically put Robots in Kingdom Hearts. This is a world practically made for rail grinding and flowmotion.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 10, 2022

Takamaru, Urban Champion, and Mach Rider honestly strike me as the most boring possible first party NES reps. Like, almost to a comical extent. I dunno why they're popular (or at the very least Takamaru and Mach Rider are) and not say, Bubbles or a Short Order/Eggsplode! rep.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 9, 2022

Yoshi Topsy Turvy, Wario: Master of Disguise, almost every post-N64/pre-Returns DK game, and Super Princess Peach share this weird vibe I can't put into words that makes it seem like they're THQ games that escaped from a surreal alternate universe where Mario is a 60s cartoon struggling to keep relevancy through edgy merchandise and live action movies.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 9, 2022

literally what does this mean

this reads like an onion article from a parallel universe i cant believe the telegraph published something with this nonsenical title

Meanwhile, in the distant future...

(They still don't have Kid Icarus: Uprising or Luigi's Mansion 3)

At the last school I went to, the Google search results for "Donkey Kong" were blocked for some reason

I did a loophole though, just search "DonkeyKong"

This is easily the least likely, most niche, and most distant-to-gaming of my "Wii Fit floodgates" concepts, but a Ceefax stage in Smash would so cool - it'd easily overtake Fourside and Happy Tree as my favourite Omega form.

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 8, 2022

Kinda revising the post I just deleted, but I think a gimmick-retro Tetris stage in Smash is an easy way out such an influential series doesn't deserve. Playable Tetromino with a rocket or Kremlin stage would be much preferable.

I actually really like the Blue Bowser submission for the current SMSB job specifically because of what others might think of as a point against him: alt costumes. There are tons of shades of blue and it'd be fun to try to make an alt list entirely out of the shades and combinations that can be made with blue.

Correction to that Dr. Rabbit post from earlier: seems Colgate do still use him - and they made CALARTS DR RABBIT

So, did Colgate stop using Dr. Rabbit because of YouTube Poops? His last animated appearance was in 2009, right as YouTube Poops hit their peak of popularity. I did find a Colgate-brand PDF book (AKA not poopable) with Doctor Rabbit that supposedly came out in 2016 (when the meme spotlight was lifted away from the character and YTP as a whole) but even then I have no clue if that's actually when it came out and not just Colgate redistributing (they have a lot of the 90s Dr. Rabbit stuff on their site)

I'm a 2000s baby who sought out the 80s/90s life in my childhood, so it's so strange to now grow up and realise people around my age generally don't have nostalgia for Pac-Man and the original Game Boy.

MatPat has mastered the "insincere kids' TV show host who gets on parents' nerves" face. He looks like he's unhingjng his jaw, it must be so painful.

For reference, this is not a soy face - that's an O shape, this is a V

Wario Wario Wario · Apr 8, 2022

I feel there's a bit of miscommunication in the NASB RTC thread, where half of us are just taking Jimmy and Timmy as a given and assuming the characters we're rating would come after, while the other half treat the characters being rated as "next in line" and put way too much stock in how the fandom would react if they got in before the Power Hour duo
