8-Bit Mario. I have officialy lost it.

[Collective of Bears]

8-bit Mario? I have officialy lost my mind.

I just thought of this guy today. I thought: If they're putting in Pit, Ice Climber, Game and Watch, and the highly speculated Takamaru and Sukapon, Nintendo wants many retro characters in the game. So, why not 8-bit Mario? He's about as Retro and Nostalgic as you can get. His chances are low, but I think I can at least give it the old college try to convince you. Here's some pros and cons to 8-bit's inclusion:

Pros

1) 8-bit Mario is a gaming icon of the good old days of the shiny new NES.
2) 8-Bit Mario would be a great WTF character, which Brawl needs more of
3) He's cool

Cons

1) He has little potential for standard attacks
2) He'll have to fight through a lot of other retro contenders to be playable
3) Nintendo might not want another 2-D character (But if GAW is deconfirmed, it would increase his chances greatly)

My take on 8-Bit's stats, tier, and movepool:

Tier: Middle

Stats:
Weight-2
Power-3
Speed-3
Recovery: 3
Jump: 4
Traction: 4
Lag: little to none

Entrance: Appears out of a pipe like Mario, but he slides out like in the classic games

B: Fireball
Like regular Mario's, but it travels much faster, bounces more and has a larger range. But is lacks power.

Side B: 8-bit Hammer
Chargeable. The longer it is held, the longer he has the hammer. He basically gets a lower-power version of the Hammer item for a short period of time.

Up B: Racoon Spin
Changes into his Racoon suit and spins upward.

Down B: Retro Pipe
A pipe appears under 8-bit and he goes down and dissapears. Point the control stick where you want him to appear, and he will pop up out of another pipe in that direction. Has no effect in the air.

Final Smash: Ultra-Shroom
Pulls out a Mushroom and eats it. You become ridiculously big and powerful. You don't attack, you just run around and anyone who comes in contact with you will go flying.


Supproters of 8-bit Mario:
Commander Blitzkrieg

Please keep flaming to a minimum.​

 

[joeysmash]

I think he would be a cool addition, but his chances are pretty slim....

 

[ThoraxeRMG]

No, one Mario is just enough.

 

[T-major]

dangit Blitzkrieg! stop supporting stupid characters! King Boo!? Shy Guy!? Dingodile!!? and now this!?.................... I'm done... just... I'm done with you...

... well... 8-bit Mario isn't THAT horrible... at least it's better than Ashley :D

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

As I said, why not have a mode called 8-bit Brawl. I mean imagine, an 8-bit Ike.

 

[DeuceBlade]

Yes.. you have officially lost it.

1 Mario is enough.

 

[Grandeza]

Cool idea but i will always support blooper for a wtf spot. blitzrieg supports everyone. hed support mi dog for brawl

 

[smashplayer16]

It would be awsome if it was an alternate costume, thats my opinion.

 

[DeuceBlade]

Cool idea but i will always support blooper for a wtf spot. blitzrieg supports everyone. hed support mi dog for brawl

I might be going on a hunch but i think he hates geno.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

His FS should be Cheep Cheep lol

 

[EPX2]

3) Nintendo might not want another 2-D character (But if GAW is deconfirmed, it would increase his chances greatly)

WTF... no. If G&W is confirmed to not reappear (which won't happen, as he'll definitely return), that, in no way, increases the chances of seeing an 8-Bit Mario.

 

[T-major]

I might be going on a hunch but i think he hates geno.

LAWL! the amount of irony in his character support is ridiculous!

 

[B01001101ownz]

he should be called jumpman instead. Also the down B seems pretty bad I would rather it be like him turning into a stone so he has the same kind of move as yoshi bowser and kirby

 

[prettymanfairy]

I don't think it's a terrible idea. I'd prefer some kind of item that makes any character turn into an 8-bit version of themselves.

8-bit Brawl!!!

 

[UberBob]

Cool idea, but taking up a character spot on the Brawl roster is too much. My idea is to have an item (or mode) that turns your character 8 bit.

 

[Zevox]

...please, tell me this is a joke thread meant to poke fun at people requesting redundant alternate versions of characters like Paper Mario or Young "Wind Waker" Link, and not a serious suggestion.

...please?

8-bit Brawl!!!

lol I might have something to work with there.

zero suit Falcon: I don't neccesarily SUPPORT everyone, I just like the idea even if they have no chance. Shy Guy for example. I've the knowledge to know that his chances are incredibly low. I just think he's cool and would be a good addition to Brawl. And yes I hate Geno, and no I don't support the dog for brawl.

UberBob: I wonder what 8-bit Snake looks like...

 

[Drclaw411]

He'd be cool, representing Mario Bros, Super Mario bros 1-3, and Super Mario Lost levels. But the problem is that technically HE IS MARIO!

Because of this, he has Paper Mario in front of him. Paper Mario is from a separate franchise, technically, and doing an 8-bit Mario while still having regular Mario would be a Link/Young Link thing to do, which Sakurai has mentioned that they would prefer to avoid this time around.

Good idea and credit for trying. Great character, I just don't see him getting in. Who knows though.

and to original poster: Shy Guy has been deconfirmed twice.

Does that mean I can't dream?

 

[vesperview]

Why don't we put an 8-bit version of every character? [/sarcasm]

 

[notftomearth7]

*Looks around* This thread's still opened? In my opinion 8-bit would be better than Doctor or Paper Mario.

 

[tennisthehilife]

I agree, there should be a item that turns characters into 8-bit. (<-- I really want that, Great Idea). If not, at least 100 8-bit Marios running around as AT.

 

[~Krystal~]

8-bit MaRiO?!

Were you even trying?

 

[Collective of Bears]

Combined. You forgot a key word there

But for those who think there should be an item that turns characters into 8-bits... FTW! 8-bit Mario's chances are low, so don't give up hope.

 

[Ridley22]

I like the 8-bit mode, or him as an AT. This makes me wnat to play super mario bros on virtual console, BEST GAME EVER.

 

[Big-Cat]

I don't think it's a terrible idea. I'd prefer some kind of item that makes any character turn into an 8-bit version of themselves.

How about 8-bit ATs like the Lakitu one? Maybe there should be a 2D version of every character that acts as an AT.

 

[error_alt_delete]

I would rather have an 8-bit item or mode. a cool idea, but 1 mario is enough for me.

 

[ratizi]

i like this idea, actually.

Nostalgia rox my sox!

 

[paralasalud]

i think 8-bit megaman would work.

the item idea is also genius.

Your Wish Came True:

 

[MFZ95]

my bet is on 64 bit Mario

 

[antimatter]

hmm.. an 8 bit sylux would be sweet if both options made it in...

 

[Darthkirby707]

My friends and I had an idea similar to this, in which there would either be a retro mode- all the characters would be how they looked in their first 2D game, and if they weren't in one nintendo could make an 8-bit version of them. The items could also have 2D versions. There could also be an object that had the same affect on the character that took it- they could have increased stats for some time.

Just an idea.

*EDIT* I just realized this has been suggested many times. My bad.
