The 64-20. Zelda and Sheik are considered FULLY seperate here, despite me forgetting to actually seperate them. XD

I'm on my tablet, so I don't have roster maker, but I'll make a 64-20 list anyway.
MARIO: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser
DK: Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong
YOSHI: Yoshi
ZELDA: Link, Ganondorf
METROID: Samus
KIRBY: Kirby, Dedede
STAR FOX: Fox
POKEMON: Pikachu, Meowth, Mewtwo
MOTHER: Ness
F-ZERO: Captain Falcon
KID ICARUS: Pit
BANJO KAZOOIE: Banjo and Kazooie

Note that I didn't add Little Mac. I wanted to, but I don't know just how important Punch Out was at the time.
I tried to keep it somewhat realistic. I feel like Pit would be the more plausible choice, as he was planned to begin with.

Around that time, yes. I'd say that the major boss of the game at that point > side villain. I think that post-Melee / pre-Brawl, MetaKnight became more important.

Takamaru could've been added in 64 too, as to how Nazo No Muramasejou is to Kid Icarus and Metroid at the time.
ANY classic series could've been added at ANY time.

Punch-Out had a title on the NES and SNES, so I think it...could have been in a boat akin to the MOTHER series.

Top left is 64.
Top right is Melee. (I know you said just 64, but whatever.)
Bottom is Brawl. (Same as before.)
I don't think I need to explain 64 at least.
I'm a little surprised you decided to stick with Pichu. But it's not that weird.

Those are respectable choices dear clone. Except for Mike Jones in Brawl perhaps. Would want that to be Isaac. Also throwing out C.Syrup for Falco, and Balloon Fighter for Lyn. In Melee, I'd throw out Pichu for Roy.

If I were the one in charge of picking characters for SSB, and always had been, Jigglypuff probably wouldn't have even crossed my mind. At least not seriously.

Okay, my brand new roster, with a big change.
Lyn is my Fire Emblem rep.
No Roy because I don't find him likely. No Chrom because everyone will give me crap for it.
So Lyn is my Fire Emblem choice.

I'm also considering some more out-there choices. And also considering downsizing the roster to about 48, but I don't know which two characters I would cut.
Help me please.

I've really got to get used to you being Diddy.
I'd throw out Mii for Impa, and PacMan for The Wrestler. Shulk also for Isaac. Other than that, great roster.

For reference, Meta Knight didn't get popular until the release of Kirby Super Star. Prior to that he was more treated like any other boss with little to no character or backstory, the only difference being is that he had an odd habit of being both helpful and hurtful during Kirby's Adventure. More or less during the 90's his presence was mostly regulated to spin off titles, but starting in the 21 century Meta Knight received a very big boost in presence and popularity and now is considered a staple character along with Kirby and King Dedede.

Interestingly, the Waddle Dee with the blue bandanna is kind of going through a slow crawl into being a staple too in a similar manner to Meta Knight, by being a minor character at first but gaining more presence as time goes by. Kirby's Return to Dreamland even pokes fun at that by describing the character as "everyone's favorite" in the pause screen description.

@Louie G.: There's really nothing wrong with having Lyn. Roy is clearly more deserving, but Lyn is way more unique.

How so?
Because honestly, the thing that makes Roy more deserving is his inclusion in Melee.
Other than that they have almost the same things going for them.
