Smashboards Creates: Hyper Smash Bros? (Smash 64 expansion project)

[Wario Wario Wario]

In a distant time before DLC, developers still desired to change up games - it could've came in small, unannounced balance or glitch changes in the second print of a game, or it could've come in new cartridges entirely packed with enough new content to make the former game obsolete. This is what we're doing in this thread: Hyper Smash Bros., an expansion of the original Super Smash Bros. for the N64 with more characters, stages, modes, and items than the infamously content-light original - and maybe even some special guests?

The time frame here is 2000. This is imperative knowledge as it could disconfirm certain characters (this unfortunately means Conker and Lucas cannot get in for example)

FIGHTERS:

1. Mario
2. Luigi
3. Bowser
4. DK
5. Diddy Kong
6. Link
7. Samus
8. Yoshi
9. Kirby
10. Fox
11. Pikachu
12. Jigglypuff
13. Scizor
14. Ness
15. Captain Falcon

STAGES:

1. Peach's Castle
2. Mushroom Kingdom
3. Kongo Jungle
4. Hyrule Castle
5. Planet Zebes
6. Yoshi's Island
7. Dream Land
8. Sector Z
9. Saffron City
10. Pokémon Stadium
11. Battle
12. Mute City
13. Duel Zone (AKA Battlefield)
14. Master Hand's Residence (AKA Final Destination)
15. Vegetable Valley (AKA How to Play)
16. Meta Crystal

If anyone has objections to the naming of the previously unplayable stages we'll hold a strawpoll

ITEMS:

1. Barrel
2. Capsule
3. Egg
4. Crate
5. Beam Sword
6. Bob-Omb
7. Bumper
8. Fan
9. Fire Flower
10. Green Shell
11. Heart Container
12. Home-Run Bat
13. Maxim Tomato
14. Motion Sensor Bomb
15. Poké Ball
16. Ray Gun
17. Red Shell
18. Star Rod
19. Starman
20. Assist Doll

Oh ****

This is gonna be fun. I really like doing what-ifs on older games getting more content, so this is right up my alley lol. Hope this one gains traction

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Jobs #1, #2, and #3: Submit a Rareware rep, a villain, and a Gen 2 Pokémon

Let's start off with 3 real big ones to draw quick traction. The roster will be more than doubled (though I don't know an exact number for now) so don't think I'm burning through the roster too quickly

Remember every character must have debuted in or before the year 2000.
While Conker did appear prior and was made known to the public, he will not be elegible due to the radical redesign he was taking at the time, the same applies for Krystal.
DK characters are allowed for the Rare prompt.

My submissions are:

(I am curious, will this project continue into melee and beyond or is it a 1 off 64 themed project?)

Voting will close soon, I'm aiming for about 10:00 in US time (my iPad clock isn't set accurately for my time zone, heh.)

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Banjo-Kazooie: 12

Diddy Kong, Scizor, and Bowser will be added to the roster!

While Scizor and Bowser, IMO, were admittedly rather predictable results, Diddy served quite the upset against Banjo. We will be doing these fighters' movesets as well as their respective stages soon, but first...

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Submit EarthBound/Mother, F-Zero, and Pokémon stages.
As home stages for Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, and Ness. Mushroom Kingdom has been retroactively made into Luigi's home stage.

You can submit stages from later games, but certain gimmicks may need to be toned down to account for the simplicity of Smash 64's stages and N64 limitations (for example, stopping off on Melee Mute City may not be possible, same with Flying Men on Magicant)

I must also suggest you add a song that would be remixed for the stages.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

My submissions are:

Mute City

Features the layout of Mute City SNES from Smash 3DS, but graphics based on F-Zero X.
Song to be remixed: Mute City - F-Zero

Magicant

Based on the EarthBound version instead of the Beginnings version. It has a similar layout to the official Smash stage, but the only hazard are Pencils dropping into the platform, functioning like the Octopi in the official stage, and the bottommost platform (below the floor platform) occasionally disappearing.
Song to be remixed: Smiles and Tears (EarthBound)

Pokémon Stadium

Pokémon Stadium doesn't transform, but still has the two platforms.
Song to be remixed: Battle! Champion - Pokémon Red and Blue

 

[Pupp135]

I’ll nominate Big Blue, Onett, and Unknown Dungeon/Cerulean Cave

Big Blue would just have the Falcon Flyer as a platform

Onett plays like it does in the canon SSB games, except cars won’t come.

I would have Unknown Dungeon have two platforms, one where Mewtwo is fought, and then another to the right. These platforms are separated by a body of water. Also, some wild pokemon would attack players, like Rhydon, Golbat, and Seadra.

I’ll do the songs later

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Earthbound: Battle

You play on a completely flat area in what looks like the battle screen of Earthbound. Unlike the picture I showed, Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo are always in the party. Anyways, there are 2D sprites of a random Earthbound enemy in the background. The battle pretty much plays out like a normal Earthbound battle except attacks will sometimes effect the stage. Like PSI Fire could sometimes make fire go across the stage or PSI Freeze could make ice go across the stage. If an enemy is defeated the party's HP will be recovered and another will appear. All and all, it's a pretty unpredictable stage but I think it'll be pretty interesting and represent Earthbound well.

F-Zero: Circuit
The layout is pretty much like Big Blue without the falcon flier. The cars(?) are larger though so that it's easier to actually stay on the screen. As it goes on the background changes to look like different locations from the first F-Zero game.

And then I'll repost safari zone
Pokémon: Safari Zone

It’s hard to get a good picture of what I think the layout would be, but pretty much it would be completely flat with a couple of trees at each end which you can stand on. There would be lots of tall grass and trees in the background and occasionally pokémon will jump in from the background and do an attack to change the course of the match.

I might decide the music to be remixed later.

“come on, man, after I was getting a feel for it, man? a jive? this is ridiculous, man. this is why people dont vote magicant anymore.”

 

[BonafideFella]

(apologies for double post, highest available superior)
if i may ask, when will the next task be posted?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Voting is now closed.

Safari Zone: 2
Unknown Dungeon: 2

Mute City: 5
Big Blue: 1
Circuit: 1

Pokémon Stadium, Battle, and Mute City will be added! I'm not sure when I'll get around to the next job but it will most likely involve either items or alternate costumes

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Next Job:
Submit an Assist Doll

Assist Dolls are a new item that will spawn a Nintendo character to do a single attack, much like PokéBalls and Assist Trophies. We will be adding three Assist Dolls for this prompt, and each user can submit one or two. Please keep in mind that

1. Assist Dolls disconfirm
2. Each Assist Doll can only have one utility or attack, just like Smash 64's PokéBalls
3. Assist Dolls and all related assets will be 2D images
4. Assist Dolls must be Nintendo characters for now. Rare characters are allowed. Super Mario RPG characters are not.
