Ryu Hayabusa: Ninja in Smash

1. : Suzaku Castle(Asia)

3. New Donk City(New York)
4. Summit(Antarctica)

Hayabusa is a globe trotter. Most of the games see him traveling across the world to an extent. The narrative is that a demon has resurrected and Hayabusa is travelling to defeat said demon. And so each stage is a location he would be passing by and the combatants are would be residents of said area.

Edgeworth: “They’re all guilty!”

(Since Edgeworth is a prosecutor who will stop at nothing for a guilty verdict, all battles are against those who are accused of wrongdoing, but it is questionable if they should be punished) (Assumes Edgeworth is in as a Pheonix Echo)

Characters who fly. It's that simple. Hell, it was even in the title: FLIGHT OF FANCY. Can you even READ?

Here's one for Lilty (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles)
The theme I chose was, "four-player games and modes." I went with this because one of the defining traits of Crystal Chronicles was it's multiplayer.
Lilty's Classic route would have a unique twist on the formula; all matches are 4 vs 4 team battles. 3 ally Lilty fight alongside you in each round.
Round 1

Song: Splattack! (Splatoon)
Round 2

Song: Super Bell Hill (Super Mario 3D World)
Round 3

Song: Multiplayer (Metroid Prime 2: Echoes)
Round 4

Song: Forest/Nature Area
Round 5

Song: Village of the Blue Maiden (Zelda: Four Swords Adventures)
Round 6

Song: Opening - Super Smash Bros. Melee (Brawl)
Boss: Rathalos
It's only natural to fight a dragon as the boss, since it's Final Fnatasy and all. It can also be seen as a reference to the boss of the Conall Curach level from Crystal Chronicles.

Side note, I don't think Classic modes have repeat opponents, but I had to use Mario and Kirby twice since there weren't many multiplayer franchises I could reference well with what was available on the roster.

Oooh, I ADORE those images for each round! How did you make them?

I found them on a fansite, http://smashbros-ultimate.com/
I was honestly just having a really hard time trying to type the characters and colors out each time for every character so I threw those together instead.

Do I think it's weird that Mario and Kirby have to be fought twice? Yes. Do I like it? YES.

 

[Perkilator]

If you haven’t seen my thread of combined Classic Mode route ideas just yet, here’s some others I made in it:

I’ve decided to bump this.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

Kazuma Kiryu classic mode: Like a Dragon

Fight 1:

Fighter: Little Mac
Stage: Fourside

Fight 2:

Fighter: Lucas (Claus alt skin)
Stage: New Donk city hall

Fight 3:

Fighter: Ganondorf
Stage: Wrecking crew

Fight 4:

Fighter: Dracula

Fight 5:

Fighter: Link
Stage: Wrecking Crew

Fight 6:

Fighter: Erdrick
Stage: Shadow Moses Island

Boss:Giant Ridley
Stage: Millenium Tower omega mode


I would have picked Rathalos since Kiryu would be taking on a literal Dragon but like how Majima put it in Project X Zone "All your battles always seem to make their way back here." So the last battle being on a Millenium Tower stage makes perfect sense and you can only fight Rathalos in the monster Hunter stage

I also tried referencing characters and boss fights from the series but I had to really think, like with Majima I made him Link because both are skilled at different weapons and Majima has a spin attack, like Link and his stage is the wrecking crew stage because of Majima construction.

Ghirahim: Gone in a Flash (fights against characters who often swiftly teleport or move in the blink of an eye)
Stage 1: on Saffron City (Pokémon Gym/Evolution)
Stage 2: on Gerudo Valley (Gerudo Valley (Remix))
Stage 3: on Pokémon Stadium (Battle! Dialga and Palkia/Spear Pillar)
Stage 4: on (Sonic Boom)
Stage 5: on Corneria (Space Battleground)
Stage 6: on Suzaku Castle (The Mysterious Murasame Castle)
Boss: Dracula

 

[Perkilator]

Toxtricity: Same Old Song and Dance (Fights against characters on stages with musical variety)
Stage 1: on Coliseum (With Mila’s Divine Protection)
Stage 2: on Suzaku Castle (King Dedede’s Theme (for 3DS/Wii U))
Stage 3: on Spiral Mountain (Main Theme - Banjo-Kazooie)
Stage 4: on Moray Towers (Bomb Rush Blush)
Stage 5: (free-for-all) on Kongo Falls (Jungle Level Tribal Style)
Stage 6: (free-for-all) on New Donk City (11th Street)
Boss: Ganon

 

[RouffWestie]

So I thought of a really simple one and it's basis is a super obvious reference.

Got me a Tails Classic rooooute~

Spoiler: Miles "Tails" Prower: Smash Discovery

Basically a retelling of Mania's plot. After round 1, Sonic becomes a CPU ally. The actual title takes from Sonic Mania's would-be name of Sonic Discovery.
Round 1: on Green Hill Zone, with Green Hill Zone as the music (Oh-ho-HO, this better be obvious~)
Round 2: Giant and three tiny magenta on Boxing Ring Omega, with Studiopolis Zone Act 1 as the music (Mega is Heavy Gunner, and the Inkling Girls tag in for his Eggrobo flunkies.)
Round 3: Green with 1.5x knockback and damage on hazardless Summit, with The Mysterious Murasame Castle Medley as the music (Summit and the music altogether emphasize the Press Garden Zone's chilly second act, and Sheik here represents Heavy Shinobi.)
Round 4: , yellow , green , and purple on Mushroomy Kingdom, with Let's Hit the Climax! as the music (These are Heavy Magician, Bark, Bean, and Fang/Nack respectively. Mushroomy Kingdom should come close enough to Mirage Saloon Zone. On another note, Isabelle keeps to herself and is more than happy to get away from conflict.)
Round 5: Camilla! and Jumpman on Norfair Omega, with Calling to the Night as the music (Norfair Omega + Calling to the Night, roughly equals Lava Reef Zone with the music being as serene as Lava Reef Zone Act 2. Corrin is Heavy Rider, and Wario always uses Wario Chopper, harkening back to Rider's pet Motobug Jimmy.)
Round 6: Giant red on Fourside Battlefield Mode, with Vs. Ridley as the music (Fourside is now co-opted from Sonic's route as Titanic Monarch Zone Act 1. R.O.B. can be seen as a representation of Eggman, or better yet Heavy/Phantom King. Vs. Ridley might as well represent the menacing harmonies of the track Ruby Illusions.)
Bonus Game, natch
Round 7: Marx, who may or may not represent Dr. Eggman throughout the final battle and Egg Reverie Zone, with...you know...as the music. Marx has some extra health and both Tails and Sonic, in turn, have 20% each to start. Sonic actually deals twice as much damage (Super Sonic, I guess) as usual.
Credits music: Believe in Myself (Sonic Adventure 2)

its a good idea but would it make sense for them to be themed on more FF spells? you know maybe the belmonts with the scythe for death? maybe ivysaur for bio, squirtle greninja or corrin for water

I wanted to align it more with Robin due to simplicity.
