[Champion of Hyrule]

I thought about submitting Octopus diver, isn't that Mr. Game and Watch's up smash, however?

Yeah. I don’t see how that’s a problem though, smash has plenty of mii costumes of playable characters

Reaper Fortress
(From Kid Icarus: Uprising)

The Reaper Fortress is the main location from Chapter 4 of Kid Icarus: Uprising, in which Pit is tasked with flying through a treacherous canyon in in order to find the home of the Reapers, all the while fighting off the hordes of Medusa.

This is meant to be a traveling stage, with this ravine serving as the starting locale. Fighters will brawl between two rock faces; there is a large solid ground that makes up the primary platform and the two pass-through cliffs as well. These boundaries can be found in the spoiler below.

Spoiler: Ravine Boundaries

After some time passes, a Reaper will land on one of the cliff and fire an eye-beam at a random player before quickly taking off again. The eye-beam is very fast and deals ~15% damage.


Alright, so the next area requires a little bit of imagination on your part. Ready? Immediately after the Reaper disappears, the above platform formation will ascend from the bottom of the ravine section, carrying the fighters upwards. The floating platform will speed through the rest of the canyon at ludicrous speed as rock formations zip by. Similar to Lylat Cruise, a full-scale battle is taking place between Palutena's army and a bunch of Reapers (which makes for a cool background set-piece).

Next, the platform will pull out of the ravine and make it's way to The Reaper Fortress itself (as pictured above). It will fly through an entrance, spin through some corridors and eventually drop players into the final area.


This final area is home to the Great Reaper, who will battle Pit in the background as the fighters continue to duke it out in the foreground. The platform layout is fairly straightforward, with two slanted rock pieces forming solid ground, with the two floating rocks being pass-through platforms. The two small grey stair sections are pass-through as well, but they also crumble away if a player stands on them for too long. If confused, see the below spoiler.

Spoiler: Cave Boundaries

The cycle will repeat a la Castle Siege, with the floating marble platforms returning to pick up the fighters and deposit them back into the canyon yet again. Depending on how long the battle is, fighters can make their way through the entire cycle multiple times in one battle.

Job #76: Submit A Kid Icarus Item
Submit an item from Kid Icarus. Please submit the item and it’s function.

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Viridi Claws (Resubmitting this from Infinite thread)

Those are claws from Kid Icarus: Uprising and they can be equipped by Fighters.
They would work similarly to sword-type items, but those are claws instead and you can scratch an enemy like a cat or Wolverine from Marvel comics.
Those claws are rapid-damage type weapon and they're semi-spammable, which they have 4.5 second cooldown (I try to balance the Item, so I won't be OP).
Using neutral A button attack would activate the claws to fight.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Underworld and Viridi Claws will be chosen. Got a tie for the echoes so I’ll just remove my vote so we will give it an echo fighter.

I’ll submit two music tracks:
1. That First Town (Kid Icarus Uprising)
2. Lunar Sanctum (Kid Icarus Uprising)

Job #77: Submit A Kid Icarus Assist Trophy

Assist Trophy: Reaper

He's passive, but if attacked he'll get angry and send out his Reapettes. The 8-bit reaper theme plays.

 

[Deleted member]

Magnus

He returns from Smash 4. Acts the same.

 

[Northsouthmap]

Assist Trophy: Medusa
Summons various underworld monsters to attack your opponents, has a decent chance of getting replaced with Hades, who will say "Sorry to keep you waiting," and summon stronger underworld monsters. Also has a very small chance of summoning Medusa as a cuddly little bunny, who will put all enemies to sleep for a few seconds (like Peach's FS, just weaker).

 

[Sunny-Zee]

Assist Trophy: Medusa
Summons various underworld monsters to attack your opponents, has a decent chance of getting replaced with Hades, who will say "Sorry to keep you waiting," and summon stronger underworld monsters. Also has a very small chance of summoning Medusa as a cuddly little bunny, who will put all enemies to sleep for a few seconds (like Peach's FS, just weaker).

I dunno... it may just be my memories of the Newcomer Support thread, but I feel like Medusa could still be used as a fighter. Also, Medusa as a lil' bunny rabbit? Where did that idea come from?

But anyways, I do have a suggestion for an Assist Trophy...
Amazon Pandora

Basically, she could probably function similarly to other fighter-like A.T.s like Saki Amamiya, fellow Kid Icarus characters Phosphora and Magnus, and Smash 4!Dark Samus, roaming and teleporting across the stage and using a mix of swordplay and energy attacks against any unlucky saps in her way. She can still be K.O.'d, though.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Here are the options for assist trophies:
Wario Wario Wario Reaper
@Darkonedagger Magnus

S Sunny-Zee Amazon Pandora

So please vote for your top two or one most wanted in order. You can put your own submission in first place for this one.

4. Light Fighter

Job #79: Submit A Kid Icarus Echo Fighter
Submit an echo fighter from Kid Icarus. Please submit the echo and any differences they would have.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Classic Pit

He'd be lighter, shorter, silent, and have the Brawl Side B.

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

1. Three sacred treasures
2. Amazon Pandora
3. Magnus
4. Hades

Medusa

Medusa is an antagonist of Kid Icarus game series and she is Palutena's sister (I guess?) and he rules the underworld alongside Hades.

She would be Palutena's clone and she would be stronger, but slower than Palutena. Some of her attacks would be different than Palutena's such as dark mines as her side B.

 

[Deleted member]

1. Three Sacred Treasures
2. Light Fighter
3. Dark Fighter
4. Amazon Pandora

 

[Sunny-Zee]

Here’s voting for mii costumes, vote for your top three or four this time, you can’t put your own submission in first place.
Champion of Hyrule
Dark Fighter
Light Fighter
Three Sacred Treasures
Tankman from Newgrounds
Magnus
Amazon Pandora
Hades
S Sunny-Zee
Phosphora
Centurion

If Amazon Pandora gets in we’ll have a poll to decide if she’ll be a brawler or swordfighter.

My votes (with the rules in mind):
1. Three Sacred Treasures
2. Light/Dark Fighter (As far as I can tell, they are interchangeable)
3. Centurion
4. Amazon Pandora

And as for the choice of Echo Fighter, I second the Medusa nomination.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

On second thought, I am going to change it so that light fighter and dark fighter are both categorized as the same costume with different colours, if anyone wants to change their votes to accommodate this I’ll let you.

Here is the poll for echo fighters and since Amazon Pandora is probably going to get in at this point we’ll do the vote for her too:

Travelling stage: Demonic Dinner

Credit to Brenda Gonzalez on ArtStation

You begin outside Ashley's mansion in a garlic patch (a slightly sloped walk-off), you will then be picked up by a giant plate and sent inside the mansion's kitchen - there you are put in these phases in random order, seperated by more plate flying. When the plates fly, other plates will fly in as soft platforms.

1. A shelf - there are walls on the sides of this form
2. A sieve - this a hard, U-shaped platform - however, projectiles will go right through it. There is a sink tap above it that can be used as a hard platform
3. A chopping board - a knife will slam down, indicated by a warning sign. Walkoff.
4. A frying pan on a stove top - the frying pan is the safe zone, while the stove functions like Brinstar lava. The frying pan moves. Walkoff
5. A fruit basket and bottles of water - the fruit basket is really bumpy and you can drown in the water. Walkoff.
6. A chair - there's a wall on on side and a ceiling on the other
7. Inside a microwave - you fight on top of a burger with a bit of lettuce leaning out one side and devilish horns made with tomato slices, it spins like Spiral Mountain
8. An oven - you fight on a loaf of bread that slowly becomes more sloped

Once you've been through all the phases, you will go inside a cauldron and fly around Ashley's Mansion for a bit, meaning no stops for a while, and land on the garlic patch restarting the cycle

 

[Northsouthmap]

Wario Stage: Diamond City
Probably the only viable idea for a WarioWare stage that isn't just a 'bunch of mini games with the generic elevator section beforehand', this would work quite well as one of those moving platform stages. Like Delfino Plaza or the Halberd.

It could start in Wario's House, move to outside the Mona Pizza restaurant, then Club Sugar, wherever Kat and Ana train, Ashley's Mansion, Dr Crygor's Lab, 9-Volts room, and then maybe back to the start, with the odd cameo appearance of Orbulon and Dribble/Spitz.

Job #82: Submit A Wario Item
Submit an item from the Wario series. Please submit the item and how it works.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Fronk

Walks about passively like Mr. Saturn, when thrown he can anticlimatically cancel a foe's attacks without dealing actually dealing any damage either way. This works against final smashes, projectiles, assist trophies, invincible/armoured foes, disjoints, non-attacking moves like meter charges, and other items - pretty much everything except stage hazards. Good to use against slow moves like Smash Attacks.

 

[Northsouthmap]

Item: Syrup's Lamp (Wario Land)
Throwable item that creates a floating platform every time it lands, if it hits an enemy the platform stays out longer.
