I’ve said things like this before, but I feel like Smash doesn’t fully utilize the idea of representing 3rd party franchises by means other than a playable character. What I mean is, 3rd party franchises without playable characters but still have content like stages, songs, Assist Trophies, etc.
Monster Hunter in Ultimate is the best example of this, featuring Rathalos both a boss AND an Assist Trophy, as well as a few songs and Spirits. A step in the right direction when you consider all the other 3rd party content in the game, but I still feel like it could go beyond that (among what’s feasible, anyway).
