Return of Special Bonuses?

One thing Melee had that got cut from Brawl was the potential to earn bonuses for various feats and trivial things done in multiplayer battle. Would you like to see these return in SSB4? I personally miss these a lot and would love to see them return. Can you think of any new bonuses that didn't get covered somehow in Melee?

I'd really like to see them come back. Some of the names were quite humorous, (Cement Shoes comes to mind), and it was just fun to look at a tally of all your accomplishments during a match.

If they return, though, I want to see two changes/additions:
1. Allow us to view a bonus's description on the "Match Clear" screen or the Results Screen. That way, you can find out exactly what you did during that match, if you're curious.
2. Give us a better reward for unlocking all of the bonuses. The Diskun trophy is such a terrible reward for a feat like that. We deserve a truly epic trophy. My vote is for a Reggie trophy, complete with a "My body is ready" reference in the description.

What I don't like about the special bonuses is that you're forced to find even the most ridiculous achievements, just to get one trophy.

I really loved these in 64 and Melee. It sucks that they are not in Brawl so I definitely want them back in Sm4sh.

I want them back, darn it.
It was fun finding out you did something awesome after the battle. I just wish I knew what the bonuses meant without having to google it.

I think getting achievements based off the special bonuses would be really cool to see.

Wouldn't mind seeing them back, but i wonder for development reasons (time constraint) they refrain from that system.

I always wondered what pratfalling was, my Marth got tons of those, ah yes, I would love to see these additions, FIGHTING STANCE was one of the most easily recognizable in SSB64.

I'd love to see these back, the Brawl results screen just felt empty without them.

This is so true. Surely they don't take all that much time to implement, and yet the payoff would be a minute extra looking at the results screen after every single match.

VERY MUCH YES. But do the following things:
*Make it more plausible to find missing bonuses.
*Balance the bonuses out better.
