Smash Hero
One thing I really loved in Brawl was the story mode. One thing in particular that I loved about the story mode itself was the different bosses you’d fight along the way. Like most others, I wasn’t too big of a fun of Smash 4’s stage bosses, since they kind of just interferes with the battle. But in Brawl, it was just player vs boss, where you’re actually focusing on taking down the boss, instead of trying to fight other players while avoiding the boss.
One of my biggest hopes for Smash Switch is the return of a story mode, but with far more locations and bosses actually from various Nintendo worlds.
What bosses from Nintendo’s history do you want to see? Here’s my list of what bosses could represent the big series in Smash. I specifically avoided having smaller humanoid bosses, since I think having a boss that could very feasibly be a playable character kind of defeats the point.
Who would you guys like to see? My personal top hope would be a Kirby villain. There’s just so many awesome bosses from that series.

Mario - King Boo, Petey Piranha, Mecha Wiggler
Yoshi - Burt the Bashful, Kamek summoning other enemies and bosses
Wario - Rudy the Clown? I think they would want to include something from WarioWare instead of Wario Land since that’s what the series is in Smash, but there isn’t really anything from there that would work.
Donkey Kong - Tiki Tong, Lord Fredrik
Zelda - Gohma, Dodongo, one of the BotW Ganons
Metroid - Mother Brain, Kraid, Ridley (if Sakurai again deems him too big to be playable)
Kid Icarus - Medusa, Hades (both could be playable, but could also be bosses in their giant forms)
Punch-Out - King Hippo, Sandman
Fire Emblem - Grima, Anankos, any other villain dragon
Kirby - Dark Matter, Zero, Marx (knowing that Sakurai prefers his own Kirby creations, I’d bet on Marx)
StarFox - Andross
Mother - Giygas, Porky (I’d love Porky playable, but he’s kinda like Ridley where he can work as both a fighter and a boss. It kinda just depends how big you make his mech.)
Pokémon - Rayquaza, Necrozma, Giovanni or any other evil team leader using multiple Pokémon, pretty much any boxart legendary)
Xenoblade - Metal Face, something from Xenoblade X which I only played for like 5 hours (I can’t really think of anything non-humanoid for Xenoblade 2 that isn’t mid to late-game, but Malos or Jin could work depending on what exactly they do).
Pikmin - Emperor Bulblax, Titan Dweevil, Plasm Wraith (most bosses from the series would work since they’re all huge and intimidating)
Splatoon - DJ Octavio
Mega Man - Dr. Wily
Sonic - Dr. Eggman (in his Egg-Pod)
Final Fantasy - They’d definitley choose something from FFVII because Cloud is the playable character. I’ve only just started FFVII, but from what I’ve seen beforehand Sephiroth would be really cool, and could use crazy boss moves to avoid being too close to a playable character)
Bayonetta - I haven’t played any of the games but I’m sure there’s multiple giant monsters that would make awesome bosses
I left our obvious series without bosses like the retro series, Wii Fit, Animal Crossing, and Pac-Man.
While I’d love the Original 12 to all have a boss from their series, I don’t think there’s anything from F-Zero that could be a boss. It’s a racing game, and every character is a humanoid driver that could just be a playable character like Falcon. Fighting a car would be pretty nice though, but also really weird.
Same goes for Street Fighter. Every character is literally a fighting game character who could just as easily be playable as Ryu.
