Before Mario took the thrown of Nintendo's ever growing sports titles they used to make sports games starring regular athletes with Mario only making cameo appearances in some. With games like Ice Hockey, Tennis, Tecmo Bowl, Baseball, Soccer and others being put on the Nintendo Switch's NES Library, constant re-releases on systems like the Wii & the WiiU and appearances in games like NES Remix and the NES Mini console these characters will always be relevant even without a new title.
But how would a character from these games even work? They're just regular human athletes right? Well, in my free time I made a mock up pitch of how they would play, look and separate themselves from the rest of the cast and be made into interesting fighters.
One thing this "pitch" doesn't go over is a stage. Most likely it would be an HD 3D version of Ice Hockey's Rink with ice physics and goalies ready to smack any one who gets too close and even reflect projectiles if one gets too close. A basic stage with a huge single platform, great for 8 player matches, with Ice physics and defensive goalies at each end.
Either that or an NES Sports stage that will keep it's 8-Bit look while transforming between different titles like Soccer, Tennis & NES Open Tournament Golf. The stage could even be called "Open Tournament" or "Sports Collection"
The last (and least likely idea for a stage) could be "Nintendo World Championships 1989" Specifically 1989 to be a hidden reference to "The Wizard" film released that year. The stage will be slightly modeled after the stadium from that film but with major visual differences as not to be too obvious of its inspirations.
I really don't think these guys are going to make it in, but I kind of just made this for fun and to see if others would be interested in a moveset like this or something similar.
