-Dry Bowser
-Yarn Yoshi
-Toon Link in his Outset Island clothes
-Mario in his Isle Delfino outfit
-Ness in his pajamas

Beyond that, I really don't understand why we can't choose between iterations of the Zelda characters like in Hyrule Warriors - especially when Smash has already done this for Bayonetta, Cloud, and Ike.

9th Slot - Custom Outfit

I'll admit the characters have no established alternate headwear or bodies, but I think adding a collecting mechanic to mix and match your outfit could be awesome. This can be modeled after the Mii Fighter's head/suit choices, or taken a step further to 3 parts like BotW helmet/armor/legs. But like SSB4s fighter gear, they could be used across characters. Fire Flower Hat for the Bros. Etc.

Not really the most critical feature, but whatever it takes to get back Mario's fire flower suit. Wedding suit?! Why?!

Gotta say, now that Smash Wiki has the recolors up, I’m pretty disappointed in Mario’s. I miss his Jumpman recolor from Brawl and earler that he lost to get that pink/light blue thing, and now he’s lost Fire Mario and Wario? But kept Waluigi?

I happen to like the pink and light blue color for Mario from Mario Bros. I don't have an issue with Mario losing the Wario color, since Wario is already present, but it doesn't make sense for him and Luigi to have Waluigi's color.

The more ideas I see in this thread, the more I'm convinced that it would be silly for Sakurai and company to not jump on this opportunity. So many other games have proven that cosmetics are a clever thing to sell in games like this, and they already experimented with this for the Miis in the last game anyways. Already, we've listed more character skin ideas than there ever were Mii costumes in 4. They could really fluff up DLC releases with character skins and it would be more popular than the Miis too.

Something about that first pic feels very typically "80s"~

Forgot how much LBW is kinda a reimagining of LttP and that Zelda's design follows that a bit. My memory of LttP is mostly sprites so it's easy for me to forget that her LBW design is so obviously similar. Makes this alt look easy to implement in theory. Hope they get even more creative with some alt options for Zelda.

And Fusion Suit always being just a recolor has always bothered me. It's always like, "pls, that's not the Fusion Suit".

I would pay money for the Fusion suit to be a real alt and not just a blue and yellow recolor. Playing project M with light suit, dark suit, and PED suit alts makes me really wish sakurai would go all out with costumes

The more I think about it the more I see Hilda as an alt for Zelda rather than an echo. I guess it would be more of a recolor but I wouldn’t mind attaching her name to it too.

I don’t think we’re entirely done with costumes on some of the demo characters. We hadn’t gotten Meta Ridley yet but he had 8 colors there. And I’d like to see other characters besides Little Mac in Smash 4 get extra costume slots.

Regarding other ideas, perhaps for Pokémon Trainer we could get costumes inspired by the GO teams - valor, instinct and mystic. Also I’d like Samus’ military garb from Other M as an alt for Zero Suit.

I think the problem with hilda being just an alt is that her personality is just way too different, Zelda's new happy and excitable personality wouldn't fit her

This, but really for any model change. The Prime, Samus Returns or even classic ZM style power suit, or even fully modeled Dark Samus (if she's not already an echo)

The only other ones that really come to mind as vividly to me is Venom Snake (complete with voice differences ala Ike), with Nikita being replaced by Rocket Punch.

I always wanted Olimar to be flat-out replaced with "Pikmin Explorer". Each outfit is a different character: Olimar, Alph, Louie, Charlie, Brittany, The President.

Super Mario Strikers Daisy. I don't want every outfit to be a dress, same for Peach. Jigglypuff getting her headband back. Justin Bailey ZSS. Green jacket with red boots Fox I want back. Melee style red jacket Falco where the jacket matches the plumage around his eyes. Marth without blue hair and without a tiara would be nice. I love Marth but I was annoyed at how Lucina got so many hair color variations and Marth was still blue haired in every outfit. Old Snake. A Sonic that just isn't blue. I'd love Tails and Knuckles skins but I'd settle for anything not super blue. Palutena without the green hair, similar feeling as I have with Marth. Ms. Pac-man. Ken alt for Ryu. Zack alt for Cloud.

I thought about having alternate Megamans but I'd hate to mess up his Mega-teamup final Smash so maybe just give him some stuff based on ....

I don’t know if I’m alone on this one but aside from all the obvious most wanted Alt costumes we can ask for. I’d like it if Sakurai made brand new Alt designs for the characters who never had other appearances in games. Like think of a brand new Game & Watch Alt design or a completely different look for someone like Pit or Wii Fit Trainer. That way they wouldn’t be left out while other popular character get a ton of alts. Just a thought.

I would be quite surprised if it's not in the game, because Mario has his wedding variant. Wedding suit Bowser deserves to be in the game. Also, I hope Dry Bones is an echo fighter or costume.

There's actually one outfit I'd really like to see for the Wii Fit Trainer.

Does anybody remember the NES Power Pad? It was basically the prototype for Wii fit. I'd love to see the Wii Fit Trainer get a Dance Aerobics Instructor costume from that game.

In game costume.


Official art.

The girl in red appears to be the main one as she has several pictures showing her.


Although I'm not quite sure what the male Wii Fit trainer would get.
