So I decided to do a Mario moveset for Multiversus - Not because I really want him in or anything (there are quite a few WB icons missing from the MVS roster that I feel need to be addressed before we get third-parties, and even then Mario isn't really that high on my list of wants in that department), but because I've never really done a MVS-style moveset before, and who better to do it with than a character I know like the back of my hand?
Passive: Mega Mushroom Meter
Mario has a meter on his HUD which fills up as he deals damage. Once the meter is full, it can be activated, causing Mario to double in size similar to the bosses found at the end of Arcade Mode. This makes him slower, heavier, and stronger for a short period of time.
Neutral Normal Attack
Grounded: The punch-punch-kick combo from Super Mario 64, which is also his jab in Smash.
Aerial: His aerial kick from Super Mario 64.
Side Normal Attack
Grounded: Mario charges up a hammer swing, with the hammer taking its appearance from the Mario & Luigi games. This is similar to Bugs' Side Normal Attack.
Aerial: Same as grounded.
Up Normal Attack
Grounded: Mario charges up a leaping uppercut.
Aerial: Mario charges up a bicycle kick.
Down Normal Attack
Grounded: Mario charges up a spinning lariat, bringing the Star Spin from Super Mario Galaxy to mind. This can be used to reflect projectiles.
Aerial: Mario charges up a downward stomp, being able to spike opponents.
Neutral Special
Grounded (Fireball): Mario tosses a fireball forwards which bounces along the ground rather quickly. There is a cooldown to this move, but it is specifically timed so Mario can have a maximum of two fireballs on-screen at a time.
Aerial (Fireball): Same as grounded.
Side Special
Grounded (Dive): Mario dives forward, damaging opponents in his path.
Aerial (Cape Dive): Same as grounded, but Mario wears the cape from Super Mario World.
Up Special
Grounded (Super Jump Punch): Mario leaps upwards, dealing multiple hits of damage to opponents on the way up. Notably, this move breaks armor.
Aerial (F.L.U.D.D.): Mario uses F.L.U.D.D.'s Hover Nozzle to take to the skies, which acts similarly to the Iron Giant's double jump flight (albeit with much less longetivity).
Down Special
Grounded (Vegetable): Mario plucks a vegetable out of the ground - These can be used as throwable projectiles to hurt opponents, but can also be thrown at allies to cleanse them. However, this has a cooldown.
Aerial (Ground Pound): Mario uses the Ground Pound, crashing to the ground with his rear.
Honestly, this was pretty fun to do - Due to the way MultiVersus' movesets are more focused on gimmicky moves and team-based gameplay, I was able to do things I wouldn't be nearly as OK with in a Mario moveset for Smash. Regardless, let me know your thoughts!
Fun fact: I was originally planning to submit skeletal chickens as the Los Pollos Hermanos chickens' skin in DriDim, serving as a E-for-everyone way to reference Gus' death in Breaking Bad. I scrapped it as soon as I thought of the deep-fried idea, though, since I think it's both funny and sensible regardless of if you've watched the show.
NGL, I'm pretty proud of my submissions for the Breaking Bad items in DriDim, especially given that I haven't really watched either BB or Better Call Saul.
From the box(?): Just press 'PLAY' and you're on the way, rappin' with a little rodent with a lot to say! RAP RAT - the host of this innovative, interactive Video Board Game for two to six kids who just want to have FUN! Sensational! Recreational! Inspirational! Educational! That's a...
Since it doesn't look like we're getting music jobs for the Hasbro platfighter thread (for understandable reasons), I might as well just dump a lot of songs I think would fit on my Monopoly stage!
Everyone's saying that the post-credits scene of the Mario movie's gonna be something like a Wario reveal, but given all the talks about a Donkey Kong movie, it'll likely be a teaser for that - Probably alluding to the Kremlings.
so this was originally gonna be like wawawa's latest status but i got lazy so just have a collage of some of (but by no means all) of my most wanted smash characters
I was originally gonna submit DOOM to DriDim’s adult-only job, but the series has so few vehicles I feel it’d be best to reserve it for a racer/track only job.
It's 11 PM. I probably have better things to do. Regardless, here's my favorite game from every year since I was born.
(also as a side note i'm only limiting this to games i really have experience with so there's gonna be some weird picks)
2002: Sonic Advance
Okay, I haven't played many games released in 2002, but Sonic Advance is a genuinely solid game which captures a lot of the charm of the Genesis classics.
Honorable mentions to Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (also great, but I didn't want to include rereleases here) and Pac-Man World 2 (I've been having fun with it so far, but I don't think I've played enough to be able to say "yes this is the best game of 2002")
2003: Mario Kart: Double Dash
While it's far from my favorite Mario Kart overall, it's still a solid game with a lot to admire.
2004: RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
I haven't played it in eons for a number of reasons, but I have so many fond memories of screwing around in this game, even if I prefer 1 and 2 more nowadays.
Honorable mention to Mario Power Tennis - Technically speaking, I played the Wii version as opposed to the GameCube release, but I have fond memories of that as well.
2005: Mario Kart DS
My GOD, this game. Not only was it one of my first Mario games and a really fun time then, it also holds up as one of my favorite Mario Karts today, only beaten out by Wii and 8 Deluxe (sometimes).
2006: New Super Mario Bros.
My favorite 2D Mario, hands down.
2007: Portal
An absolute classic of a game - Great puzzles, great writing, great fun.
Honorable mentions to Mario Party 8 and DS - I have a lot of nostalgia for those, and I still think they're fun, but I feel Portal is the better experience.
Also, an honorable mention to Super Mario Galaxy - I do prefer 2, but the first one was still fun.
2008: Super Smash Bros. Brawl
While I still prefer 4 and Ultimate, Brawl was a solid game and worth going back to every now and then.
Honorable mentions to Mario Kart Wii and (to a lesser extent) Sonic Unleashed.
2009: Angry Birds
It was a close call between this and NSMB Wii. Also gotta give a shoutout to Plants vs. Zombies.
2010: Donkey Kong Country Returns
While I still prefer the original trilogy, this is still a solid platformer. Haven't played the 3DS version, though.
Honorable mention to Super Mario Galaxy 2.
2011: Minecraft
I mean... it's freakin' Minecraft.
2012: Skullgirls
There's not too much competition for this year, but Skullgirls is still a stellar game, and probably my favorite traditional fighter.
Honorable mentions to Angry Birds Space, Bad Piggies and Skylanders Giants.
2013: Rayman Legends
Okay, I barely played anything in 2013, but I LOVE this game.
Honorable mentions to Super Mario 3D World and Spelunky.
2014: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
wow it's been a while since i've had a nintendo game listed, would be a damn shame if a solid, honestly underrated smash game were to appear
Honorable mention to Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
2015: UNDERTALE
I didn't even have to look at the list of 2015 games on Wikipedia for this one.
I also really enjoyed Super Mario Maker.
2016: DOOM
I don't have too much to say here - I haven't played too much of the game, but I've barely played any other 2016 offering and have been having a good time with it so far!
2017: Sonic Mania
GRAAAAAAH WHAT A GOOD GAME
Honorable mentions to Super Mario Odyssey and Cuphead.
2018: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Some of you may not like me for this one, but it was either this or a game that's not even finished yet (Deltarune).
2019: Super Mario Maker 2
barely played anything in 2019 lol
still a great game though
2020: Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
Brutal when going for 100% completion, but a nice casual romp.
2021: ...
Oh boy.
Here it comes.
We all know what this one's gonna be.
Last chance to look away...
THE [FazDude] HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH [Annalynn]!
(for real though i haven't played much in 2021 plus annalynn's just THAT good unironically)
me when i have played no games in 2022 so this status ends really anticlimatically

just learned that the wiki for nexed, which has been out of commission for a few days, is part of a miraheze data corruption issue which may lead to the wiki being irrecoverable.
Happy Thanksgiving to the American Smashboardians out there!
I’ll be away from my computer for most of the day, so I probably won’t be contributing to any creation threads until I get home (except DriDim, since my submission there was easy enough to do on mobile). I’ll still be around, though.
Dreamed I was at Super Nintendo World last night. They opened a location pretty close to my school, only a 5 minute walk or so. I only went to one of the restaurants, which was almost a mini Nintendo museum as well as a restaurant.
I also saw my Spanish teacher working there and got to have a full conversation with Mario.
