They are based on them. However, saying they're rip offs is the problem here.

They are quite clear references to arcade DK. They are not even a little bit "rip offs" however.

More than likely, I already covered the "clear references" you are thinking of in my response to Diddy.
The only true reference is that Felix is a little guy like Mario and Ralph is a hulking brute like DK.
But if that is all that's enough to register as clear references, then Mario and DK are clear references to Popeye and Brutus. Even doubly so, since the original concept for Donkey Kong was a Popeye game.

Arcade game in which a big bad guy stands atop a building and throws **** down to stop the good guy.
It doesn't really go farther than that, but that enough is a pretty clear reference. I mean, the movie is about videogames, and Mario is videogames.

Seeing as Ralph is not a DK rip-off, that day will never come unless you try to force it to come yourself. Though I doubt you're that much of a masochist.

I'll prefer Nintendo buying Disney instead. LOL.Wait till Disney buys Nintendo.
scary part is i can sorta see a day where disney technically *could* buy nintendo....
i mean Iwata would of course have to be willing to sell nintendo(or whoever owns the company at that time)....
but if you put a big enough paycheck in front of someone they'll eventually cave in....

Ralph may be not too terribly farfetched.
After all, Disney gave Sonic a somewhat large cameo (appearing more times than any other cameo except for Q*Bert, and gave important information about dying outside of your home game), and Ralph was in Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed as a result.
Since there's already a sequel in the works, and the plan is to include Mario....
Perhaps Ralph being in Smash would be a promotional tool for the sequel.
It's possible, though I'm not betting on it just yet.

A guy started an Epic Mickey thread and I posted as a supporter and the mods closed it. So much for non-sensorship there.

Epic Mickey.....lol
The only reason why that thread was closed was because Mickey isn't eligible.
volbound1700
Smash Master
He is as eligible as Wreck-it Ralph. He has numerous games on Nintendo systems and both the Epic Mickey games are exclusive Nintendo games. Not to mention the Mickey Mouse in Epic Mickey is different from modern Mickey Mouse depictions.
How epic would Mickey Mouse vs. Mario be? They are the two most iconic fictional toon characters.

But Sora is! Let's go Sora! Sora for Smash! Seriously though Sora is my no. 1 hope.
No, Mickey ain't eligible, sadly. To be in Smash, certain criteria have to be met. #1, you have to have been on a Nintendo console. Mickey has this. But #2 is you have to have originated in a videogame. Mickey does not have this. Ralph technically does because his arcade game came out before the movie.

Mickey started as a cartoon. Epic Mickey IS Mickey. So no. HE IS NOT ELIGIBLE.

You can also consider Mickey's move sets with the paints and removers would be sick. Also think about how Nintendo has struggle as of late, if you could think of a third party character to add in this game, Mickey would carry more weight then Megaman, Sonic, etc. Any of them. It would be a goldmine for marketing Smash.

While that would be indeed sick, it can't happen =( so throw your support behind Sora instead!
PS in the next Marvel vs ______ game, Mickey should be a secret character.

it really doesn't matter volbound. Unless Sakurai changed his mind, Mickey will never get in.

We had a reputation system around here for some time but people got *****y about it...

My point is that if Wreck-It Ralph can have a thread then why not Epic Mickey?
Sora would be a good option I guess but I have never played Kingdom Hearts so I could care less. I don't see Sora, Epic Mickey, or Wreck-it Ralph in Smash 4 but they deserve discussion.

Because Epic Mickey IS NOT ELIGIBLE! But Ralph IS ELIGIBLE! You need to understand this already.

Yeah man give it a rest with Mickey, he literally is not allowed to be in Smash.
Ralph has a slim shot, Sora has a slimmer shot. But I swear I would buy a Wii U just for Smash if Sora was in it.

So anyway, let's just ignore Mickey topics now since its pointless to bring him up right now.

Bowser Jr already has a moveset from the Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros gamesPaints are for Bowser Jr.

Simple solution: Down B transforms him into Shadow Mario. Now he can paint.

Shadow Mario's painting style and the painting style in Epic Mickey is VERY DIFFERENT and the moveset would be very different.

Yeah but Mickey literally has zero shot of getting in to Smash. His entrance would be against the rules.

Not only is Mickey inelligble, but the company that made the Epic Mickey games, Junction Point Studios, closed down due to the poor sales of the 2nd game. That means the series is now dead.
Also, this is the Ralph thread. As much of a longshot he is, he still is an elligible candidate.
Now stop talking about Mickey.

I think Ralph's chances depend on how many 3rd party slots Sakurai will allow for. I'm assuming - and I know, I'm making an *** of u and me - Pac-Man and MegaMan are the two that will make it. But if Sakurai is open to 3 new 3rd parties, building off Brawl's 2, then I think Ralph has the best chance of other 3rd parties simply because of his appearance in that Sonic racing game.

Even though I heavily support Ralph, I have to admit that his chances aren't really that good.
In fact, I'm willing more to bet that unless Nintendo and Disney make a deal for Mario to have a plot-important role/cameo in the sequel in exchange for Ralph in Smash not unlike what happened with Sega and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, Ralph's not getting in.
Now, it is possible that it could happen, considering that the director is planning on Mario appearing in the sequel. However, that is no guarantee that Nintendo would make the same kind of deal that Sega did. And even if they were willing to make it, would Sakurai go with it, seeing as he's calling the shots on Smash?
