I've been playing the game a lot. By now I've got quite a good amount of trophies and I've noticed something. I'm a big fan of Metroid, but the trophies I have from the Metroid franchise are the Assists, the Smash Runs, character trophies and well the Varia and Gravity suit. 12 total trophies from Metroid so far. In a way I find it kind of weird to have so few when there's creatures, bosses, suits, planets, characters, etc to express.
But then I see Kid Icarus who only has two games and one being more than 25 years old, I have 46 trophies from Kid Icarus so far. Not only that, but the soundtrack only carries two Metroid songs while Kid Icarus has 6. I know compared to Mario it's not much. But Zelda has 7. How can a two game franchise get the same attention that Zelda does? Then we have Palutena and Dark Pit. Although I'm happy with Palutena, I don't consider Dark Pit deserves to be in the game. How can Dark Samus not be a character because she would have to be a clone when she has so many unique attacks, while Dark Pit gets his own place?
So my theory is, and you don't need to be a genius to see that. Kid Icarus Uprising was made just before beginning development for Smash Bros. 4. Obviously, after finishing one game, you still have the hypes from it, so I consider that his previous creation influenced and invaded his next. Sakurai is the creator of Kirby and Kid Icarus, so he could be giving his son extra especial attention. To many, Kirby was the protagonist of Brawl, could Pit be the protagonist of this Smash?
