This is how I would rank the series in Smash, from favorite to least favorite:
Haven’t played: Splatoon, Bayonetta, Banjo-Kazooie, ROB, Pikmin
(Dragon Quest isn’t on here because I’ve only played the original NES version and it would be really unfair to judge the series on just that)

- Donkey Kong
- Metal Gear
- Street Fighter
- Final Fantasy
- Zelda
- Persona
- Fire Emblem
- Sonic
- Castlevania
- Earthbound
- Minecraft
