Pencil confirmed.

Pencil is from myths and monsters if I remember correctly

and it does something with the map

 

[Headcrab Jackalope]

And yet another Kid Icarus item. At least it's shiny.....

And Pikmin just has one item that's apparently just a reskinned item from a Kid Icarus game. And 2 enemies compared to Kid Icarus' 15-ish amount when half of Pikmin is the darn enemies. And this is ignoring Donkey Kong and Metroid being overshadowed.

Seriously, this Kid Icarus overrepresentation is really getting on my nerves.

Kid Icarus:
15 Smash Run Enemies
6 items
2 characters
2 stages
2 Assist Trophies
Possible Dark Pit Reveal

Donkey Kong:
2 characters

All DK resources have been used for K. Rool's playability.

This joke may have gone to far.

The Kid Icarus portion of this post is accurate, however:
Donkey Kong:
2 Smash Run Enemies
3 items
2 characters
1 stage
1 rumored assist.
It's still bad, but there is some Donkey Kong stuff there. Unless your only considering new things, in which case its an absolute blow out.

There is the past stage of Jungle Japes and the banana peels, spring, and hammers are also from the DK series... as well as the Mario series. They're not exclusive items but they are still from the same series. Still, it's not enough.

 

[Flaxr XIII]

We have at least 2 playable KI characters, probably a large amount of songs, who knows how many items (currently at 6) and AT's (I think only 1 atm, Magnus right?) and 1 stage on Wii U. And you know what the best part is? If I recall correctly, we don't have a KI stage for the 3DS. GUESS WHAT TOMORROWS PIC IS GUYS?!

xD I am acting why more salty than I actually am about this update. I'm going to bed.

[shrooby]

Seriously though, I think there's starting to be a bit too much Uprising stuff.
Kind of makes it feel like the other franchises are getting looked over in favor for stuff that Sakurai already knows exactly how they could potentially work in Smash being that he created them. It seems to be the same with Smash Run enemies.
And I say that with two things about me being true:
a) My avatar is a character from Uprising and is one of my favorite characters of all time.
b) Uprising is one of my favorite games of all time.

But, whatever, so it goes.

Spoiler

Come oooon, just one Fire Emblem item. There's so much potential...and I don't even care about items that much to begin with.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

I don't care how much stuff from Uprising we get, they're all great.


I never meant to start a war.

That came in like a Wrecking Ball.

But I agree somewhat.
The items are inventive and work pretty good.

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

In regards to the item bias, I bet I know what happened. Smash team just finished making KI and really enjoyed the items they made for the game, so they just brought them over. I wouldn't be surprised if they had Smash in the back of their minds while they were making items for KI. "A back shield would be great. Hey, I bet that would be great in Smash too. We should do something like that in Smash." So when KI was done they just brought the items over. May as well give these cool items history. I get it.


The KI enemies in Smash Run are inexcusable though.

You're forgetting the spring, which is DK exclusive and in one of the pics when we got that crazy screenshot blowout.

...I wouldn't even care. If I had K. Rool, I'd accept Jungle Japes as the only DK stage. Wouldn't even care if there wasn't one on the Wii U. (Ok, I'd care a bit, that's just dumb.)

But yes, somehow forgetting, DK does get TWO Smash Run enemies, one of which is KREMLINGS. Yussss...

Anyway, there's a buttload of KI stuff. Like, almost too much. And I love Uprising. Alot.

Oh...right...that place. Gee I wonder why I forgot it exists. Might have something to do with me not caring and it never being shown which is kinda a blessing actually

Also yeah, thanks for reminding me xD I get to hover my mouse over a flag over and over again now! Yaaay

At least we still have the DK rap if we have Jungle Japes a returning stage.

 

[Bassoonist]

So everybody is seeing it now? I thought it was absurd that KI even got a second character, even though that was a popular decision that "everybody" wanted.

Reset Bomb Forest is for the 3DS.

I just want to emphasize this. Donkey Kong, a gaming mascot, no a mascot of the entertainment industry, a household name, is being overshadowed by a franchise with three games. Just wanted to put things into perspective.

Not to mention a series that was dormant for over a decade until Sakurai took the reigns and made Uprising.

What's scary is that could also be said for F-Zero...

---
Off-topic, but I'd like the Eggplant Wizard as an Assist Trophy. But I think KI only needs two ATs at the most and it looks like Phosphora will be the second one, alongside Magnus.

and yet people are believing it's going to have a third character in Dark Pit

At this point, I could honestly see that happening.

So everybody is seeing it now? I thought it was absurd that KI even got a second character, even though that was a popular decision that "everybody" wanted.

I personally think that Uprising warranted a second character for the series, but three or four KI characters would be too much.

The KI enemies in Smash Run though are inexcusable though.

I could justify the enemies in Smash Run using the same reasoning.

Regardless, I am quite fond of the Daybreak. My new favorite item in the game.

"Ohhh... yeah."

A Sakurai rebooted F-Zero would be fantastic, that series needs more love, and clearly Nintendo has no idea how to market it right now.

 

[Superyoshiom]

With SakurI overlooking so many series, series as big as DK and Metroid, I don't want to know how little he's going to give for EarthBound. Right now, I'm skeptical about even getting a stage. I think he's just going to port over Onett or New Pork City.

 

[SmashShadow]

[Kamikazek]

Yeah I'm usually heavily against any sort of "reprentation" talk because I think it's silly, and I really like Kid Icarus, and even I think we're getting way too much Uprising stuff.

The funny thing is, we still haven't been getting more than one would expect from Kirby. It has no new items from what I recall, it is a little high on Smash run enemies but not too bad considering the size of the series, it hasn't had a single stage revealed yet a month before release, it hasn't yet gotten a newcomer, ect.. It's like he's still afraid of being biased with Kirby, but he just doesn't give a damn about Kid Icarus.

Is there any possibility that porting things from Uprising to Smash DS would be easier than taking things from other games because Sora has all the assets and coded both games? Because that might have something to do with it.

It's also possible that when Sakurai was designing Uprising items he was actually thinking of types of items he'd want in Smash(I know some devs do things like that), and that's why he's porting them all over.

 

[aldelaro5]

Guys, I actually counted the numbers and there was more enemies from NOT Sakurai's creation (excludes original kid icarus enemies) in total.

But I agree there is a big part, but honestly, look at brawl.

There you go I have no reasons to complain such a big improvement on general repping.

 

[Banjodorf]

So everybody is seeing it now? I thought it was absurd that KI even got a second character, even though that was a popular decision that "everybody" wanted.

No, I don't see it as ridiculous that they get a second character, especially a particularly unique one, if Starfox can have 3. Plus, some leeway objectively needs to be given to the fact that Sakurai will put some extra things in from the series he basically recreated.

The part that's getting ridiculous is the fact that the series has 6 items. And maybe the Smash Run enemies, maybe cut those down by half. Otherwise, everything's not in the least bit ridiculous, since we only have one stage on either system, which is to be expected.

And to be fair to the items, some series just don't have the ability. (Honestly, give me an excellent Fire Emblem or Xenoblade or F-Zero item. Rescue staff maybe, but mostly it's difficult.)

 

[IsmaR]

and yet people are believing it's going to have a third character in Dark Pit

A bunch of others think he's going to be the Stage Boss on Palutena's Temple.

 

[abrinx77]

Mario appears in DK Jr.

True, but I'm pretty certain it is counted as a DK item not a Mario one in Brawl.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I can understand the series getting a second rep. I think Kid Icarus deserves that.

Just not one single game getting so much representation, it's overkill.

(I think everyone saw it before now, it's just reached the tipping point with the Daybreak item)

 

[Superyoshiom]

Tbh, I wouldn't. Mind Sakurai overrepping Kirby. It's a huge series, and a pretty popular one at that.

 

[Morbi]

Five Kid Icarus items in Smash: "Oh, it is cool with me. Sakurai did revive the series after all, as long as he does not go overboard with characters and whatnot, I am content."

Six Kid Icarus items in Smash: "What the ****, Sakurai. Bias, much?! Why do certain series have no items? Huh? Huh?"

Me: "Dark Pit confirmed and Fox will cosplay as Rocket."

I think that's a poor excuse. Based on his Twitter, Sakurai certainly gets around as far as playing games goes. Why can't he "think about Smash" when looking at their content instead of his own for a change?

Also, for the people tallying up item counts, The Banana is a generic Smash item, not a DK item. . .the series has a measly two items, not three.

I mean it's playable in the 3DS demo... Haha but yeah I get you. I'm not into it either. And Palutena's Temple looks way too big for my liking. And I liked Temple from Melee. At least there's a Final Destination version.

Can I just say that I hate Jungle Japes. Same for the DK stage on 64. I'm not really into the dull sunset lighting that makes everything hard to see in the dark.

I remember back in E3 2013 when DKCTF was announced, I saw a lot of people disappointed that this was "Retro's next big game". Myself included. Maybe it's just that I'm not into Donkey Kong Country but I have no problem with where it's at right now in terms of representation.

 

[Morbi]

I am fairly certain that he does, unless I am missing your point. I suppose that is why Robin is fairly faithful to Awakening, I thought he cited the reason being that he actually played the game.

 

[Superyoshiom]

So everybody is seeing it now? I thought it was absurd that KI even got a second character, even though that was a popular decision that "everybody" wanted.

Palutena was heavily requested, regardless of any bias, she would've still been put in. People really wanted her, and she was easily one of the top ten requested characters.

 

[Ryuutakeshi]

I thought the main parts of KI:U were the witty puns and the cheesy dialogue.


Bear with me, I just started playing Awakening, and I have no idea what kinds of items there will be in the Fire Emblem universe.

But yea, those three could use a handful of items.

Best I can come up with is a vulnerary. And we have plenty of healing items.

 

[Morbi]

So... I might be one of the only people that feels that way; however, I am willing to share my opinion. I believe that Kid Icarus is under-represented and I expect another item at the very least.

The Sol blade would work nicely. Heals half the damage that you deal. Pretty unique. Or the Hand Axe.

 

[Bassoonist]

Hence me having noted that it was a 'popular' decision.

That doesn't mean I have to think it was right. I just don't think that a single revival title warranted a whole new character. Especially considering how some franchises are represented in this series (Metroid) >.>

If Sakurai took over Metroid, I'd imagine we'd "coincidentally" have four or more characters for it at this rate.

 

[Krysco]

Eh, I just don't like KI:U...like at all. I like the gameplay since it reminds me of Starfox and I like the personality Hades has but I couldn't even do chapter 3 or mission 3, whatever it's called because the voices and personality of Pit and Palutena irritated the hell out of me. Hence why I'm so against them in Smash 4. At least Pit is a vet and a revamped one at that.

I can see myself hating Palutena's Temple too. It will be picked way too much on For Fun mode just as Temple was picked too much in Basic Brawl and the music won't appeal to me either.

As for Jungle Japes and the N64 DK stage, I find them alright, nothing special but I don't hate them.

People seem to think that Takamaru should be in just because his name is mentioned in Nintendo Land. It's barely a revival and everyone's up in arms about his AT status.

 

[BKupa666]

I am fairly certain that he does, unless I am missing your point. I suppose that is why Robin is fairly faithful to Awakening, I thought he cited the reason being that he actually played the game.

Faithfulness of content to source material and quantity of content per series are different beasts. Sakurai flooding the game with content from His Baby is an annoyance that falls under the latter.

 

[Morbi]

I agree, but I want to see at least a Fire Emblem item first.
The Sol blade would work nicely. Heals half the damage that you deal. Pretty unique. Or the Hand Axe.

I do agree with this sentiment, Fire Emblem deserves one item at the least, I would recommend this item. It was a toss up between this and the log.
