My ideas if Ultimate’s story mode was an SSE retelling

[Perkilator]

Story
-Update expressions in the cutscenes, obviously.
-Minor cosmetic details (such as the Vs. screen in Midair Stadium appearing similar to how it does in Ultimate, and people evacuating when the Halberd attacks).
-Add Crazy Hand, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings as accomplices to the Subspace Army.
-Automatically start choice battles (Mario v. Kirby and Meta Knight v. Lucario) as Mario/Meta Knight.
-Have the rest of Star Fox join Fox on assaulting the Halberd (both in early and late game).
-Add a couple extra cutscenes where there weren’t originally (i.e. show what happens to Kirby and Peach/Zelda after Sea of Clouds).
-Have enemies other than Primids appear in cutscenes (Spaaks, Puppits, etc.).
-Use Dark Samus’s design for the two false Samuses.
-Replace The Meta Ridley Battle with Omega Ridley.
-Have both Mario’s group and Marth’s group be playable in The Canyon.
-Ganondorf fights Master Hand and Crazy Hand in the first Subspace level.
-Have Kirby and Bowser Jr. join forces for the third Subspace level.
-Have Ganon as an optional boss in the third Subspace level (provided you rescued Link and Zelda).

Gameplay
-Put other characters in the roster in optional dungeons themed after Nintendo locations (i.e. King K. Rool in Kongo Jungle).
-Have Spirits as an obstacle in these dungeons.
-Be able to recruit characters you rescue (and keep them out of cutscenes).
-Have enemies from other series be enemies part of the Subspace Army (yes, even an enemy version of Piranha Plant).
-Add bosses in these optional dungeons.
-These dungeons are exclusive to some characters’ groups during the main story (as in a dungeon with Cloud would be exclusive to Marth’s group, and a dungeon with Young Link would be exclusive to Link and Yoshi).

What do you guys think? You guys have any suggestions?

• I think grabs and command grabs should work like how they do in Smash Run
• More chests would be a welcome addition
• Second player having more control
• No or less unified movement, even if it makes it a pain to play as Little Mac

SSE had an awful story. Why would you want to retell it? I'd much rather they make a whole new story that didn't read like a 12-year-old's fanfiction where Sonic is the only one cool enough to take out Mary Sue.

Preferably one along the lines of Kingdom Hearts where we're actually out exploring the different game worlds, rather than vague approximations like DK just being in some arbitrary jungle.

Because I liked SSE. And, mind, my idea DOES include Nintendo-themed locations (and other series) as optional pit stops in the main story.

Subjective, I enjoyed it myself. Most of the issues were in the gameplay and the fact that the mode was clearly rushed in a few aspects, to the point where some plot critical cutscences apparently didn't make the cut. Didn't stop me from enjoying it overall, though.

You know people can like things you dislike, right?

And this thread's purpose isn't criticising the mode itself.

Only if the story is as overly stupid and complex as the plot of Kingdom Hearts.

Kingdom Hearts's story is also terrible and convoluted, I agree. In fact I don't think I've ever seen a grand crossover that has any semblance of a decent storyline. It probably exists in some fanfiction somewhere, statistically speaking.

And this thread's purpose isn't criticising the mode itself.

I didn't criticize the mode. I criticized the story, which is a part of the mode and also the subject of this thread.
