SmashBoards Creates: Ultimate DLC In A Parallel Universe (Finished! - Some Content Incomplete)

[Paraster]

A while back, I wrote about my concept of parallel-universe Smash Ultimate DLC--what the Fighters Passes (and early-purchase bonus fighter) could have looked like with different characters that followed similar niches. Now that the DLC is over, I thought it would be fun to turn this concept into a forum game!

This game will work in several phases:

1. Criteria: Participants will give criteria that the replacement character we are currently on must follow, making sure that the character filling that slot in the real world follows the criteria as well. For example, you could say that Challenger Pack 1 (originally Joker) needs to be a character from a game that was nominated for Game of the Year at the Game Awards. Everyone then votes on what criteria they want to follow.
2. Character: Participants will submit new characters that follow the voted-on criteria. The submitted characters are then voted on.
3. Content: Participants will submit ideas for the newly-voted character's moveset, stage, music list, Classic Mode, DLC Spirit Board, and accompanying Mii Costumes. Each of these will be submitted and voted on individually. To encourage creativity and as much participation as possible, there will be no set limits on these, though I may ask certain submissions to be altered on an individual basis if they seem extremely over-the-top (submissions of 70 music tracks or 30 spirits, for example).

RULES:

• A character's first appearance must have been released before the reveal they are being submitted for. Byleth had about 6 months between introduction and announcement--you could go for a smaller gap than that, but it is not encouraged.
• Any characters that were Ultimate DLC in real life are not eligible. Not even if they are submitted for a different slot. You are allowed to pick a different character from the same franchise, though.
• Non-video game characters are not allowed. Probably obvious, but just for clarity.

NOTES & RECOMMENDATIONS:

• This game assumes that the times and places of reveals will be unchanged. As such, it is heavily encouraged that submitted characters fit the venue--E3 and Game Awards reveals probably shouldn't be more niche characters, for example.
• If, at any point, you want to change a submission or vote you've already made, you are allowed to do so. You must, however, ping me ( Paraster ) to ensure I know to update my documentation.
• The more specific your criteria is, the more interesting it is and the more creativity is necessary if it is voted. Don't be too specific, though--if we're stuck to just one or two workable choices, the fun level plummets.

As we progress, all locked-in content will be consolidated here, at the bottom of the OP.

Disclaimer: Some Mii Fighter waves do not match up exactly with how they were submitted; an executive decision was made to rearrange some so that certain sets of old Miis would not be split up. However, no Miis were added or removed as a result of this.

Reveal Trailer
(open)

Moveset

• Attributes
  • Kamek has light weight and average-at-best ground speed, but good air speed and frame data.
• Basic attacks
  • Neutral attack: Kamek does a three-hit combo smacking opponents with his wand.
  • Dash attack: Kamek boards his broomstick and flies forward a short distance. Gravity does not affect him until the animation is finished.
• Tilts
  • Forward tilt: Kamek thrusts his wand forward as it glows.
  • Up tilt: Kamek swings his wand upward, creating a stream of fire as he does.
  • Down tilt: Kamek swings his broom along the ground.
• Smash attacks
  • Forward smash: Kamek swings his wand downward and summons three magic rings that fly forward a short distance.
  • Up smash: Kamek thrusts his wand upward and causes an explosion above himself.
  • Down smash: Kamek thrusts his broom forward to hit with its handle, then backward to hit with its head.
• Aerials
  • Neutral aerial: Kamek holds out his arms and summons tiny stars that fly out of him in multiple directions.
  • Forward aerial: Kamek thrusts his wand out and shoots three projectiles at slightly different angles.
  • Back aerial: Kamek shoots a burst of electricity behind himself.
  • Up aerial: Kamek creates a small snowstorm above his head.
  • Down aerial: Kamek summons a Thwimp in front of himself that falls straight downward.
• Grab & throws
  • Grab: Kamek waves his wand and summons a wave of energy that traps an opponent.
  • Pummel: Kamek fires small magic bolts.
  • Forward throw: Kamek makes a magic explosion that throws the opponent forward.
  • Back throw: Kamek uses telekinesis to fling the opponent around himself.
  • Up throw: Kamek uses telekinesis to throw the opponent upward.
  • Down throw: Kamek uses telekinesis to slam the opponent into the ground.
• Specials
  • Neutral special: Magic Spell
    • Kamek shoots a Magikoopa-style magic spell (the shapes) forward; the angle can be slightly altered by the Control Stick. When hitting an enemy, the spell inflicts damage and briefly stuns them. When hitting an enemy projectile, the spell reflects it. When hitting a non-active item, the spell transforms it into a different item (the item cannot be transformed a second time).
  • Side special: Koopa Troop Summon
    • Kamek twirls his wand to charge and summons a Mario enemy. Which varies based on charge time (think Sephiroth's Flare except each tier is even more different from each other). Only one enemy can be summoned at a time.
      • No/little charge: A Goomba that walks forward and headbutts opponents.
      • Some charge: A blue Koopa Shell that behaves like the Green Shell item, but it starts in its "launched" state and cannot be stopped by jumping on it.
      • Max charge: A Bullet Bill that flies forward quickly and explodes on contact.
  • Up special: Broomstick Swoop
    • Kamek flies upward at a diagonal angle, damaging opponents he hits. At the end of the attack, he glides on it (think Steve's Elytra, except with slower horizontal speed and the ability to turn around).
  • Down special: Fakamek
    • Kamek summons an illusory copy of himself. The copy, which does not move but can turn around, shoots Magic Spell projectiles until it despawns, but its spells merely damage on opponents and have no other effects. Only one illusion can exist at a time.
• Final Smash: Naval Piranha
  • Kamek hops on his broomstick and flies forward a short distance as he casts a wave of magic below himself. Anyone hit by the broom or the magic is caught in a cinematic where Naval Piranha bites them repeatedly while Kamek laughs--until Kamek fires a large spell that causes a rainbow explosion.

Spoiler: Challenger Pack 1 - PaRappa (PaRappa the Rapper)

(render source: Nibroc.Rock)

Criteria: From a big-name series that has had very limited presence on Nintendo systems.

Reveal Trailer:
The trailer begins with a battle between Mario and Sonic on Battlefield, Mario swiftly knocks out Sonic and, cut to CG, he wipes his hands and adjusts his hat - not noticing the sky around him turn white and the floor fade away - a familiar sound is heard and nanoseconds after it starts, Mario is knocked away by an orange burst of blinding light - he rubs his eyes to look up and sees an orange diamond shape, the area turns dark and a "PS" logo appears, Mario glancing in awe like Inkling before him - a world forms around him, a red floor and walls, gaining a green mat and windows with sunset mountain behind, somewhat scared but braced for a fight Mario looks around and sees a new challenger - the camera shows a foot planted on a face-bearing beatbox and it zooms up to reveal the hip hop hero himself. "I gotta believe!" He exclaims as it zooms out to show his full body.
PaRappa the Rapper has entered the station!

Moveset

• Attributes
  • PaRappa is a glass cannon shoto type who's a little faster and lighter than an average character of his archetype. A lot of moves here are taken from PlayStation All-Stars, see this video for further reference.
• Basic attacks
  • Neutral attack: A multi-punch that ends with a shoulder hit - based his neutral and forward square moves from PSASBR

• Tilts

  • Forward aerial: PaRappa slams down his skateboard, spiking foes. Based on his air down Triangle from PSASBR
  • Back aerial: PaRappa kicks backwards, sending him in a backwards trajectory. This will also reverse his direction! Based on his air forward square from PSASBR
  • Up aerial: An uppercut that can be cancelled into itself 3 times over, based on his up Square from PSASBR

  • Forward throw: (open)
  • Back throw: (open)
  • Up throw: (open)
  • Down throw: (open)
• Specials
  • Neutral special: Kick! Punch! Chop!
    • a counter-command grab - after hitting once a bar appears above PaRappa, and he can either press the special button again at the right time to do the second hit of the counter, or cancel it into any other action he wants at any time. This can be mashed out of, but every hit will reset the mashing. Source
  • Side special: I Can Sell Like This
    • PaRappa throws an arced projectile of one of the goods from Prince Fleaswallow's flea market. If it hits a foe, it will turn into money and linger - should PaRappa or a foe pick up or throw the money, it will be more powerful. It increases in strength every time it's thrown, and the countdown to disappearing eill reset too - but the amount of time it can linger for will also decrease as it gets more powerful. Source
  • Up special: Hold the Hose Real Tight
    • PaRappa gets a fire hose and pumps it downwards in a burst to fly. This goes relatively high and has a light windbox at the bottom, but no hitbox. Source
  • Down special: Double Dutch Inline Skate
    • PaRappa puts on roller skates and dashes forwards - this move goes fast and deals a lot of damage but only hits on his feet and legs. If PaRappa jumps out of this move the skates will continue rolling on! Source
• Final Smash: Doom Box
  • PaRappa sings the portion MC King Kong Mushi's Live Rap used in PSASBR - you actually get to press buttons along to the rhythm to create shockwaves like DK's old bongo FS! Every button used to represent a beat is X, but you don't necessarily need to press B Source

Stage: Fruites Dojo

Dojo! Casino! It's all in the mind! This is a stage designed for competive play, but does have hazards with hazards on. You fight on the Fruites Dojo, which has cliffs, a sunset, and giant Chop Chop Master Onion in the background - the walls of the dojo are intact and you can even see the deer head and little onion men, but the walls cut off at the battle arena.

The layout resembles Melee Yoshi Adventure with two soft platforms sloped down towards each other - they both resemble the green mat on the floor. That aforementioned hazard is Cool Mode - pulling off a combo will put the word "COOL" above your fighter's HUD, Cool Mode is essentially turbo mode - if you land a hit, you can immediately do another input for another hit.

There aren't any cameos beyond Chop Chop Master Onion himself in the sky, though his design changes depending on which song you're playing - he'll have his regular outfit for PTR1 songs and any misc. songs we may add, his overgrown/homeless outfit for UmJammer Lammy songs, and his Romantic Karate outfit for PTR2 songs

Moveset

• Attributes
  • Porky rides in a smaller version of his Mother 3 mech (something like this). He is heavy and slow, but can jump deceptively high.
• Basic attacks
  • Neutral attack: Porky stabs with a front leg of his mech. Can lead into a rapid-jab.
  • Dash attack: Porky launches forward with a burst of exhaust from the back of the mech.
• Tilts
  • Forward tilt: Porky shoots three yellow squares forward.
  • Up tilt: Porky slashes a leg upward.
  • Down tilt: Porky shoots a blast of electricity along the ground.
• Smash attacks
  • Forward smash: Porky reaches two front legs out, then separates them in a "tearing apart" motion.
  • Up smash: Porky summons a ball of electricity above the mech.
  • Down smash: Porky has the mech slam downward, causing a shockwave that hits both sides.
• Aerials
  • Neutral aerial: Porky turns to face the camera and thrusts each leg outward.
  • Forward aerial: Porky shoots a small lightning bolt forward.
  • Back aerial: Porky releases a burst of exhaust from the back of the mech that lingers for a second.
  • Up aerial: Porky jabs two legs above the mech as those legs are electrified.
  • Down aerial: Porky fires a lightning bolt downward from the bottom of the mech.
• Grab & Throws
  • Grab: Porky grabs with the mech's two front legs.
  • Pummel: The legs tighten around the opponent.
  • Forward throw: The mech thrusts forward, swinging the main body into the opponent.
  • Back throw: The mech spins around and throws the opponent in that direction.
  • Up throw: The mech throws the opponent upward.
  • Down throw: The mech slams the opponent into the ground three times.
• Specials
  • Neutral special: Mecha-Porky
    • Porky deploys a Mecha-Porky that walks back and forth, turning around when hitting a wall or ledge. The Mecha-Porky damages any opponents it touches, and when B is hit again, it dives forward before exploding.
  • Side special: Gas Discharge
    • Porky charges up before releasing a cloud of gas forward. The cloud deals minor damage, but also decreases targets' attack power for an amount of time depending on how long it was charged.
  • Up special: Mech Hover
    • The mech's legs retract as it starts to hover (similar to Propellerpack). Porky can hit B at any point to release a burst of electricity at the cost of immediately ending the hover.
  • Down special: PSI Counter Device
    • Porky uses an artificial PSI Counter that covers the mech. It reflects projectiles and acts as a multihit attack.
• Final Smash: Devil's Machine
  • Porky summons a device resembling the end of the Cave of the Past (top right here). It slams down onto the ground, damaging any opponents it lands on. Said opponents, and any others close enough, are sucked inside as Porky laughs. A cinematic plays of the victims floating in a frightening red-and-black space as bolts of energy attack them until they are sucked into a red vortex. If any opponents are at 100% before the final hit, they are instantly KO'd.

Stage: Seventh Needle Mines

Since we already have New Pork City as the ultimate Porky stage, let's go for something a bit more visually distinct--the final area of Mother 3 (don't worry, no story spoilers will be included in this description). An underground cavern seeping with eerie purple energy, this would allow for a visually distinct and interesting stage. Minerali and Fenomeno can occasionally be seen roaming the background.

The layout would consist of two floating rock platforms, between which would be a soft platform resembling the location's bridges.

Moveset

• Gimmicks:
  • Tension Gauge: By engaging with the enemy, either by moving towards them or attacking them, the meter will go up. Sol can then spend the meter to perform a Roman Cancel, or an Overdrive.

  • Side Special: Bandit Revolver / Bandit Bringer
    • Sol lunges forward and performs two flying kicks.
    • If the button is held, Sol instead performs Bandit Bringer, jumping in the air and performing a flaming punch at a downward angle.
    • Input this motion: (↓→) to increase the attack's damage.
  • Up Special: Volcanic Viper / Ground Viper
    • Sol performs a rising uppercut with his sword. It's invincible at the start.
    • On the ground, if you hold the button, Sol will instead perform Ground Viper, flying forward before performing the attack. Both the ground and air variants when held do increased damage, at the cost of leaving you vulnerable for a bit longer.
    • Input this motion: (→↓) to increase the attack's damage.
  • Down Special: Night Raid Vortex / Break
    • Sol rushes low to the ground, and performs a flaming uppercut. Hold the button to increase distance.

  • Dragon Install: Sol access a portion of his Gear powers, gaining a boost in power and speed until the Tension meter depletes. Requires at least half of your Tension meter to use. Performed with this motion: (↓←↓←)
  • Roman Cancel: Sol creates a blast around him, briefly slowing down the enemy and cancelling your attack animations. This allows you to cancel your current attack, and perform a combo. Using a Roman Cancel takes half of your Tension meter. Performed by pressing special while shielding.
• Final Smash: Branding Breach
  • Sol performs a Fafnir, sending anyone in his way into a cutscene. Sol charges his sword, tapping into its full power, before rushing toward the enemy as fire erupts from the ground. He jabs his opponent on the gun barrel, and fires a massive flaming laser that annihilates them, just before an explosion breaks the ground open. Instantly KOs enemies if they are at over 100%.

Reveal Trailer
(open)

Moveset

• Attributes
  • Eggman primarily fights in his Egg Mobile, which also acts as his gimmick
    • The Egg Mobile itself, at the bottom, has continuous super armor, so Eggman can take any weak hits
    • The glass at the top also has continuous super armor, but the twist is that it can also be damaged and broken
    • Once the glass is broken, Eggman takes 1.5x more damage and is more susceptible to being launched when his body is struck
    • Eggman is a heavyweight fighter, between Donkey Kong and King K. Rool
    • Eggman's movement speed and jump height are generally low
  • Eggman excels at controlling the space between him and his opponents by hitting them with moves that hit when the opponent least expects it; however, they are easily telegraphed and tend to leave him open
• Basic Attacks
  • Neutral Attack: Eggman constantly shoots energy lasers (4% each hit, small knockback). Unlike Kazuya's Devil Blaster, these lasers only hit one opponent at a time.
  • Dash Attack:
• Tilts
  • Forward Tilt: Eggman attacks with one of the bumpers from the EGG-HVC-001 (6%, OK knockback). Use this move to keep opponents from getting too close.
  • Up Tilt: Eggman attacks using the pointy tail from the boss of Oil Ocean (6%, OK knockback). The tail appears behind the Egg Mobile, so you can possibly see a sneak attack coming and counter as appropriate.
  • Down Tilt: Eggman sends out a boxing glove attached to a spring that sends opponents flying (11%, OK knockback). Use this when it looks like the opponent has you cornered.
• Smash Attacks
  • Forward Smash: Egg Hammer; Eggman slams the ground with a giant hammer (25%, medium knockback). When fully charged, the hammer buries the first opponent in the shockwave (37%).
  • Up Smash: Eggman clamps the two claws from the Casino Night Zone boss (22%, medium knockback). The claws slowly hurt fighters during the chargeup, so you can either raise their damage at the risk of losing your grasp or using the Up Smash immediately so the opponent can't escape once they're caught.
  • Down Smash: Eggman fires two fireballs from the bottom of his Egg Mobile (17% each hit, OK knockback). Any fire ball that misses an opponent creates a small trail of fire that slowly deals continuous damage.
• Aerials
  • Neutral Aerial: Eggman attacks using the flippers from the final boss of Sonic CD (3% each hit, OK knockback). Useful for clearing away opponents taking up a lot of space.
  • Forward Aerial: Eggman fires a more powerful shot from his energy gun (10%, OK knockback). This version of the energy gun has more endlag, so to compensate, it fires even when you land on the ground.
  • Back Aerial: Eggman drops some blue toxic water from the back of his Egg Mobile (8% with a meteor effect, OK knockback). More situational due to considerable startup lag.
  • Up Aerial: Eggman raises a drill from the Marble Garden boss above himself (9%, OK knockback). Good for keeping a single opponent in the air.
  • Down Aerial: Eggman drops down with a spike at the bottom of the Egg Mobile (8% with a meteor effect, OK knockback). Eggman plummets to the ground at high speed, so it's probably best not to try and spike someone with it. no pun intended
• Grab & Throws
  • Grab: Eggman uses Big Arms to grab the opponent
  • Pummel: Eggman slowly squeezes the opponent (5%)
  • Forward Throw: Eggman tosses the opponent forward (9%, OK knockback)
  • Back Throw: Eggman throws the opponent behind himself (12%, OK knockback)
  • Up Throw: Eggman throws the opponent above himself (8%, small knockback)
  • Down Throw: Eggman hovers up a bit and buries the opponent with a full-force ground slam (15%)
• Specials
  • Neutral Special: Egg Mobile-H
    • Eggman unleashes a wrecking ball and slams it forward after a brief spin (21%, medium knockback), which can meteor Smash opponents in the air. By tilting the control stick in the opposite direction, Eggman can also backflip and attack opponents behind him. However, if his glass is broken attacking him stops the attack altogether.
  • Side Special: Egg Mobile-D
    • Eggman rushes forward in a drill car (13%, OK knockback); in the air, he uses a drill jet;. The drill releases itself when Eggman is attacked cancels out the Drill item, but travels less of a distance.
  • Up Special: Egg Hornet
    • Eggman angles his ascent in the Egg Hornet (9%, OK knockback), then dives down (14%, medium knockback). After landing, the Egg Hornet gets stuck in the ground, with Eggman needing to mash to get out. Charging the attack has Eggman travel more of a distance, but gets him stuck a bit longer upon impact.
  • Down Special: Laser from M.E.
    • Using power from the Master Emerald, Eggman fires a huge one-hit laser that goes offscreen (30%, far knockback). This attack has a 10-second cooldown between uses, and Eggman can move slowly left or right before he actually fires the laser. During the charge, Eggman has super armor.
• Final Smash: Death Egg Robot
  • Eggman summons the Death Egg Robot. Both of its arms can be controlled with either control stick, and pressing B has Eggman fire both of them towards the screen (40% each, far knockback); if opponents are at 60% or higher, they will suffer a screen K.O.

Stage: Casino Night Zone

This is a rough mock up of CNZ's layout. The flippers on the side will occasionally flip and should someone stand on them, send them flying - into the bumpers if the trajectory is right. The three bars aren't a platform but rather the slot gate.

It is usually in the background, but will sometimes extend into the foreground which will let you jump in and roll the slots - there are 4 possible faces that can show up on the slots - Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman. Getting a Knuckles heals 5% damage, getting a Tails heals 10%, and getting a Sonic heals 20% - these add up, so for example a Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles would heal you 35%, or 3 Sonics would heal 60%. When you roll an Eggman, you gain back 10% of that damage - it can only really make for a net loss if you get multiple Eggmen or one Eggman and two Knuckleses, but it's still pretty frustrating to think you've got a good heal before rolling a Robotnik. In 1v1s a character rolling the slots has super armour, but in free-for-alls they're completely invulnerable.

      • Bomb: Pod 042 fires out one to four bombs which arc and then land. Each Bomb has a slightly different trajectory and power.
• Final Smash: YoRHa Finisher / Self Destruct
  • 2B throws her sword forwards, striking the opponent and trapping them in a stun state, 2B will then teleport towards the stunned opponent and deliver a series of rapid fire slashes, she then kicks her opponent down and slashes down onto them.
  • Holding down the special button at the start of the attack will activate Self Destruct: A five second countdown appears above 2B. Pressing the button will cancel it. If it finishes, 2B will explode in a devasting attack that deals great damage to the opponent. She will get up afterwards, but lose a lot of damage herself. So it's a risk.

Reveal Trailer
(open)

Moveset

• Attributes
  • Sans is designed to be a wacky, unpredictable character that doesn't play by the same rules as everyone else. He is very light.
  • Gimmick: Sans is capable of damaging opponents through invincibility. Specifically, his attacks will deal a much smaller amount of damage (not sure of the exact number; maybe somewhere from one-tenth to three-tenths?) and cannot apply knockback to "invincible" opponents.
• Basic Attacks
  • Neutral attack: Sans pushes his hand out palm-first.
  • Dash attack: Sans slides forward, as if slipping on ice.
• Tilts
  • Forward tilt: Sans squeezes a ketchup packet, releasing a burst of ketchup forward. This applies a red-colored version of Inkling's Ink effect.
  • Up tilt: Sans swings his arm up, entering a "high-five me!" pose.
  • Down tilt: Sans points to the ground and a small wave of short bones shoots along it.
• Smash Attacks
  • Side smash: Sans summons a Gaster Blaster in front of himself with its mouth open; it bites down.
  • Up smash: Sans swings a telescope upward before briefly looking through it.
  • Down smash: Sans summons a wave of bones from the ground on both sides of himself.
• Aerials
  • Neutral aerial: Sans flops forward, as if falling asleep, though he quickly wakes up. (The hitbox lasts for the full sleeping animation, and ends when he wakes up.)
  • Forward aerial: Sans throws a handful of ketchup-covered fries forward. This attack can also apply Ink.
  • Back aerial: Sans squeezes a whoopie cushion with the "nozzle" pointing directly behind himself.
  • Up aerial: Sans thrusts his head upward, causing three hot dogs to bounce straight up.
  • Down aerial: Sans thrusts his butt downward. This attack can spike.
• Grab & Throws
  • Grab: Sans holds his hand out while a blue SOUL sprite appears over the opponent.
  • Pummel: Sans reaches forward and smacks the opponent.
  • Forward throw: Sans thrusts his hand forward, causing the opponent to be flung in that direction.
  • Back Throw: Sans teleports behind the opponent, then performs the same actions as forward throw.
  • Up Throw: Sans lazily flings his hand up, causing the opponent to fly upward.
  • Down Throw: Sans telekinetically pushes the opponent down as he summons some short bones out of the ground.
• Specials
  • Neutral special: Gaster Blaster
    • Sans summons a Gaster Blaster about his size in front of himself. The Blaster fires a laser (about one-third the length of Final Destination) 1.5 seconds after it is summoned. If B is held, however, the laser is delayed until B is released.
  • Side special: Blue Bones
    • Sans throws a small series of flying cyan bone projectiles forward. If an opponent is doing any control stick inputs at the moment they are hit by a bone, they are damaged and put in a hitstun; while in a blue bone's hitstun, the opponent is capable of being hit by other bones from the same group even if the control stick is released.
    • If an opponent is not making a control stick input, the bones do nothing. The bones can be blocked by shields, but cause significant shield-stun.
    • This move has a cooldown after use (maybe somewhere from 5-10 seconds?).
  • Up special: Shortcut
    • Sans's body blinks in place before instantly transporting to a spot a short distance away (direction determined by control stick input). This does not put him into freefall, but until he lands, each subsequent use will result in longer startup.
  • Down Special: Blue Attack
    • Sans releases a burst of blue light. Any opponents hit by the flash (which has a small and short-lasting hitbox, like Rest) will be surrounded by a blue aura; their movement speed and jump height are temporarily reduced slightly. The light itself does no damage.
    • Landing this move while the target is already affected will reset the timer.
• Final Smash: Sans's Final Smash
  • Sans summons a hollow white box in front of himself. Any opponents trapped inside the box are transported into a cinematic where their SOULs are in Undertale's UI--trapped inside the Bullet Box. A barrage of bone attacks are unleashed upon the opponents, ending with four Gaster Blasters firing at once.
  • The UI displays the LV as 19 and has the health bar constantly decreasing over the attack (completely cosmetic). No name is displayed. The SOULs' colors match the player colors. The SOULs can be controlled by the corresponding players, but this does not affect damage.

Stage: Snowdin

(image from this Rivals of Aether workshop stage--does not reflect the layout of this design)

A snow-covered underground forest where Sans and his brother Papyrus are primarily based out of. This stage consists of a plateau high above the forest and several platforms made from outcroppings of earth (think the grass area of Mushroom Kingdom U). On both sides of the plateau are collapsed bridges--completely cosmetic. In the background is a wooden sentry station.

If hazards are on, Papyrus will occasionally appear by literally bursting out of the snow. He them presses a button on a small remote and activates one of several puzzles. There are six specific spots where puzzles may appear. Only one puzzle will be active at a time. All puzzles will end after 15-20 seconds.

• Spikes appear at three of the spots. These deal damage.
• Colored tiles appear at two of the spots. These deal damage and briefly stun fighters before knocking them away.
• Snow sculptures of Papyrus appear at two of the spots. These act as additional terrain, but can be destroyed.
• A pair of spotlights on stands appears at one of the spots. If a fighter enters the light while grounded, they automatically taunt while a Mettaton logo appears in front of them. A victim of this is made immune to the effects for 5 seconds or so.
• A large red button appears at one of the spots. If the button is attacked, it is pressed, causing flame geysers to appear at three of the spots and move back and forth while cannonballs rain from above.

Spoiler: Challenger Pack 8 - Bandana Waddle Dee (Kirby)

(render source: Kirby Fighters 2)

Criteria: From a franchise that is already in Smash, but underrepresented (Kirby - modern era).

Reveal Trailer
(open)

Moveset

• Attributes
  • Bandana Waddle Dee is a character with the floatiness of Kirby and the disjoints of a swordfighter. His spear attacks would have a sweetspot on the blade, but the hitboxes would tend to be pretty narrow, making it difficult to hit jumping opponents (ducking opponents wouldn't be much of an issue with how short Bandana Dee is).
  • His general strengths would lie in his good recovery and his ability to space out opponents. His weaknesses would be his light weight and somewhat low speed of movement and attacking.
• Basic Attacks
  • Neutral attack: Spear Thrust
    • Bandana Dee swings his spear forward, then unleashes a barrage of stabs for a rapid jab that ends with a single lunge forward.
  • Dash attack: Ground Thrust
    • Bandana Dee plunges his spear into the ground in front of himself, then slides forward. Slightly laggy for a dash attack, but can knock opponents upward.
• Tilts
  • Forward tilt: Pinpoint Thrust
    • Bandana Dee thrusts his spear as far forward as he can muster. Better range than other spear attacks.
  • Up tilt: Skyward Thrust
    • Bandana Dee thrusts his spear straight above himself.
  • Down tilt: Slide
    • Bandana Dee slides forward with his foot out, much like Cloud/Min Min/etc.
• Smash Attacks
  • Forward smash: Gale Thrust
    • Bandana Dee thrusts his spear forward with enough power to carry himself forward a short distance.
  • Up smash
    • Bandana Dee thrusts his parasol above his head and opens it. Doesn't reach far, but covers almost the entire space just above Dee's head.
  • Down smash
    • Bandana Dee scrapes his spear on the ground around himself, making two rotations. His weakest smash attack, but it can knock foes upward.
• Aerials
  • Neutral aerial: Windmill
    • Bandana Dee flips upside down and twirls his spear below himself. More powerful below Bandana Dee than on his sides, and cannot attack upward.
  • Forward aerial: Multispear Thrust
    • Bandana Dee quickly thrusts forwards multiple times. Each thrust has a different angle, making the attack hit a wider space than others.
  • Back aerial: Back Thrust
    • Bandana Dee spins around in the air and thrusts his spear straight forward.
  • Up aerial: Parasol Drift
    • Bandana Dee opens his parasol above his head, decreasing his fall speed until he takes another action. This attack only deals damage when the parasol is initially opened.
  • Down aerial: Moon Drop
    • Bandana Dee spins in midair before dropping downwards spear first. Carries opponents along.
• Grab & Throws
  • All of Bandana Waddle Dee's throws are based on the Parasol ability's "Circus Throw" attack, where one balances the victim on top of the opened parasol before using it to fling them in whatever direction.
  • The exception is the down throw, which is instead based on the Parasol Twirl attack: Bandana Dee jumps up and drills the parasol into his opponent.
  • Dee's throws are not his strong suit; they don't serve well as kill throws and aren't the most reliable for combos.
• Special Attacks
  • Neutral special: Parasol Swing
    • Bandana Dee swings his parasol forward. The attack itself isn't very strong, but it's faster than most of his other attacks, and the parasol can block attacks/negate projectiles. In addition, if B is held, Bandana Dee will hold the parasol out in front of himself after the swing and can move around with it (though he can't dash or midair jump). Bandana Dee cannot turn while holding the parasol; it must stay in the direction the attack was initially made until the parasol is put away. After the swing animation is complete, contact with the parasol will not deal damage.
  • Side special: Waddle Spear Throw
    • Bandana Dee throws his spear forwards. Charging the attack allows three spears to be thrown at once (Waddle Triple Throw). In midair, the attack can be performed rapidly, though with lower damage (Waddle Spear Barrage). The spears pierce through opponents, but only deal damage once per opponent.
  • Up special: Waddle Copter
    • Bandana Dee leaps upward and spins his spear above his head, causing him to rise upward for a time before slowly descending (during the descent, the spear’s attack speed and damage is decreased). Similar to K. Rool's Propellerpack, but it can be charged to increase the height of the initial leap and allows for greater horizontal movement at the cost of the ascent being a bit slower.
  • Down special: Beam Whip
    • Bandana Dee swings his spear from high to low as an electric aura covers the tip (resembling the Zap effect from Star Allies), swinging a long-range electric whip off of it. This attack is rather slow, but it reaches far and can hit high above him at the start (and even below him slightly at the very end). The beam can drag opponents along.
• Final Smash: Bandana Star Blaster
  • Based on the Buddy Star Blaster from Kirby Fighters 2 (which in turn was based on the Star Allies Sparkler from Star Allies). Bandana Dee signals towards the screen, and an orange-and-blue version of the Buddy Star Blaster flies from the foreground to the background in front of him. Any opponents hit by it are caught in a version of the Buddy Star Blaster cinematic (with Bandana Dee manning the Bandana Star Blaster alone).

Stage: Orange Woodland

Based on the fifth world of Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (specifically the first and second stages), this is a huge forest with an orange color scheme. The background is filled with gigantic mushrooms. The primary draw of this stage is how it retains the claymation aesthetic of the original game, fitting alongside other stages with unique artstyles like the retro ones (Duck Hunt, Mario Bros., Mushroom Kingdom, etc.), Hanenbow, PictoChat, and the defunct Woolly World. For a more detailed look at its visual design, see here.

The primary platform would be slightly longer than Final Destination, and would have a slight downward (from left to right) slant between two flat portions. Above the right side would be one soft platform.

If hazards are on, rainbow platforms (like the player uses to control Kirby in Rainbow Curse) will occasionally be "drawn" onto the stage from left to right in random patterns. A clay Kirby will then pop in from the left blast zone and roll/bounce along the rainbow platforms. He may also land on the regular part of the stage briefly. If there are 3 or more players, a clay Bandana Dee will also appear, with a green BD showing up at 5+ players and a yellow one appearing at 7+. All four of these will take slightly different trajectories. If a clay Kirby/BD hits a player, they take damage. If one is hit by a powerful enough move, it will fly away, potentially hitting another player for even greater damage. Ellaine will appear to follow the clay Kirby/BDs in the background.

  • The Legion has its own jab, tilts, and aerials. While the Legion is active and not under direct control, it will automatically attempt to attack any nearby opponents.
  • When not under direct control, the Legion's position relative to Howard will remain the same as much as possible.
  • While the Legion is active, it depletes the "Limiter Gauge." The gauge refills when the Legion is not active. When the gauge is depleted, the Legion is automatically dismissed and cannot be resummoned until the gauge refills. The Legion taking damage takes a small amount more off the gauge.
• Basic Attacks
  • Neutral attack: A three-hit combo with the X-Baton.
  • Dash attack: Officer Howard does a leaping kick forward.
• Tilts
  • Forward tilt: Officer Howard shoots with the X-Baton in Blaster Mode.
  • Up tilt: Somersault kick.
  • Down tilt: Officer Howard swings along the ground with the X-Baton.
• Smash Attacks
  • Forward smash: The Arrow Legion appears to fire a short-ranged shot.
  • Up smash: The Arm Legion appears to perform an uppercut.
  • Down smash: The Axe Legion appears to make a low, circular swing around Howard.
• Aerials
  • Neutral aerial: Officer Howard swings the X-Baton back to front.
  • Forward aerial: Swinging kick forward. (Baton Spin Attack)
  • Back aerial: Turn to shoot X-Baton in Blaster Mode behind self.
  • Up aerial: Swing the X-Baton up.
  • Down aerial: Swing the X-Baton in Gladius Mode down. Spikes.
• Grab & Throws
  • howard doesn't seem to use grabs in ac and i'm tired to i'll fill this later
• Specials
  • Neutral special: Summon Legion / Send Legion
    • Officer Howard summons the Sword Legion in front of them after a short animation. Tap the button again to dismiss it.
    • Hold the button to take control of the Legion. It can walk (not run, but its walking speed is decently high), jump once, and attack.
  • Side special: Beast Ride / Triple Sword
    • Officer Howard gets on the Beast Legion, which leaps forward.
    • If the Sword Legion is active, it sends three blades to travel together across the Astral Chain towards Howard and back. If another attack is made as the swords reach Howard, the send-back part is cancelled.
  • Up special: Axe-Sault / Chain Pull
    • Swings X-Baton in Gladius Mode upward with a jump, then swings it back down.
    • If the Sword Legion is active, Officer Howard is yanked to its current location. This does not put them in special fall, but does automatically dismiss the Legion.
  • Down special: Blaster Charge / Round Sword
    • Chargeable projectile from Blaster Mode X-Baton. Compared to Samus's Charge Shot, it charges and moves more quickly, but does less damage and cannot store a charge.
    • If the Sword Legion is active, it summons a series of blades to spin around itself briefly. These persist even when control is taken over the Legion (though it'll be hard to take advantage of since they don't last long).
• Final Smash: Hit Rush
  • Officer Howard unchains the Sword Legion as it appears in front of them; it then dashes forward. Any opponents hit are trapped in a cinematic where the Legion ferociously attacks them, followed by Howard appearing and comboing with the Legion until a final strike where the Legion and Howard (with the X-Baton in Gladius Mode) both hit at once.

Stage: The Ark

The main setting of Astral Chain, the Ark is an artificial island city where humanity has taken refuge from a destructive extradimensionial pollution. It has a cyberpunk-esque aesthetic and is set at night.

The stage is a walkoff, consisting of two buildings connected by a walkway. The walkway acts as a soft platform; it can be passed through to land on scaffolding coming off both buildings. Each building has a raised portion that acts as another soft platform and also goes into the blast zone. Periodically, a Gate will appear in the background and summon a chimera. Shortly after, one or two members of Task Force Neuron will appear and battle it.

  • Nightmare is a giant character with a great range. He can quickly rack up damage with Soul Edge. He has great knock back force.

Ostrheinsburg Castle is a recurring location in the Soul series often associated with Nightmare and his counterpart Seigfried.

The stage would have a rotation element much like Spiral Mountain (to facilitate this in a way that interferes with gameplay as little as possible, the platform will be round).

Spoiler: Challenger Pack 11 - Cuphead (Cuphead)

(render source: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)

Criteria: Inspired by American cartoons.

Reveal Trailer
(open)

Moveset

• Attributes
  • Cuphead's moveset is inspired less by his game's gameplay than by his aesthetic - complete with references to specific classic cartoons. His squash-and-stretch nature means he has good range in spite of his medium size. The moveset does not skimp out on the projectiles, though they've got a little less emphasis than you'd expect - he still fits a zoner archetype however, and is very fast. He is animated in 3D, but with cel shading akin to Fortnite's Rick and Morty skins.
• Basic Attacks
  • Neutral attack: Cuphead performs a slap-slap-punch, with Cuphead's proportions exaggerated in an S&S style.
  • Dash attack: Cuphead performs a Dash, charging forward through the air.
• Tilts
  • Forward tilt: Cuphead's arm buffs up like Popeye, as he does the classic winding punch. He only winds once so the move isn't too laggy, (though it's still a little slow) and the wind happens concurrently to his arm buffing up. One of the most powerful attacks that is neither a special nor smash.
  • Up tilt: Cuphead pokes his straw upwards.
  • Down tilt: Cuphead is shocked by a knife with a tongue popping out of the ground.
• Smash Attacks
  • Forward smash: Cuphead performs the Mega Blast, a large charged projectile almost identical to Mega Man's forward smash.
  • Up smash: Cuphead pulls Psycarrot out of the ground then plant him back in. The pulling motion can throw foes upwards, whereas if a foe is somehow caught in the planting, they'll be grounded. Very laggy, but super powerful with great range.
  • Down smash: Cuphead summons the Giant Ghost version of himself, which slams into the ground.
• Aerials
  • Neutral aerial: Cuphead transforms into a buzzsaw.
  • Forward aerial: Cuphead performs the Dash, followed by a drop kick.
  • Back aerial: Cuphead does a small blast behind him from his finger.
  • Up aerial: Cuphead throws his head upwards and it spins around over his body.
  • Down aerial: Cuphead turns into his bomb form and dive downwards. This is similar to Wario's down air in PM or Link's down air in all Smash games in that it doesn't end until it hits or Cuphead lands on the ground, making him vulnerable should he misinput or miss. Although he is animated exploding it isn't a very powerful move and is designed to lead into combos.
• Grab & Throws
  • Grab: Cuphead enlarges his hand and grabs the opponent in a comical way.
  • Pummel: Cuphead pokes his finger at opponent's head.
  • Forward throw: Cuphead stretches out his torso to use as a slingshot and fling his foe.
  • Back throw: Cuphead turns into a tornado that sucks in the opponent before flinging them behind Cuphead.
  • Up throw: Cuphead throws the opponent up a short distance as a mattress appears below them. The opponent lands on the mattress and is bounced upward.
  • Down throw: Cuphead watches the opponent fall down into a hole filled with flames as devilish laughter rings out. The hole then literally spits out the opponent.
• Specials
  • Neutral special: Roundabout
    • Cuphead fires a projectile that first comes out and goes a short length, then goes backwards a further length. Once it starts going backwards it becomes more powerful, but also slower. This move can be shot rapid-fire and walked during (without any slowdown I should add) but doesn't deal knockback
  • Side special: Parry
    • Cuphead flips forward in a manner similar to Bouncing Fish/Flip Kick - except the attack portion of the move doesn't cancel the jump or change Cuphead's angle. Cuphead glows pink when he jumps, and does his straw-slap for the attack.
  • Up special: Matchstick Clouds
    • Cuphead lands on a cloud platform, which serves as a regular soft platform which he can jump off of. However, when it expires it'll go down in flames that can harm both Cuphead and his foes, making it very powerful.
  • Down special: Heavy Object
    • Cuphead snaps his fingers and a comically heavy object (such as a safe, baby elephant, sofa, or anvil) drops into the battlefield. There is no difference between these objects. The heavy objects will land on the platform topmost of Cuphead and deal great damage and knockback, but if they land on him it'll flatten him which lets his foes throw him as an item for a brief three seconds (though he'll bounce back if thrown off stage). Although he can't cancel the snapping animation he does have just about enough time flee given he's far away enough from the top blast zone.
• Final Smash: Cup Amuck
  • A pencil appears and starts drawing. thus tons of duplicates of each projectile in Cuphead's moveset will start spawning. These duplicates cannot hurt Cuphead, even if they can hurt when when spawned in his normal moveset.

    • Cuphead does an energetic leg-swinging march, then does a small leap before posing with his arms out.

Credits music: Cuphead Medley

Stage: Floral Fury

Floral Fury is very heavily based on the popular SSBU custom stage. With Hazards off it is functionally identical to said stage, but with them on Cagney Carnation will interfere in different ways.

-He can create roots beneath a platform - these do not deal damage, they merely serve as a frustrating wall like Alolan Exeggutor.

-He can stretch out his face into the screen. This deals a very big bit of knockback and small bit of damage, but there is a warning time

-He can turn into a gattling gun and shoot seed bullets - they fall slow and deal a small bit of damage. It's pretty easy to throw foes into them, but you likely won't run into them by accident.

-A power borrowed from Psycarrot, Cagney gains a third eye and shoots laser beams. These beams fall fast and diagonally, they deal a lot of damage - however, they do not deal knockback, they stun.

[Wario Wario Wario]

I was going to submit a "Mario villain" prompt, but I feel Waluigi would win that and he deserves better than a bonus with no music/spirits, so I'll go for something a little less obvious than the no-brainer "a disposable enemy".

A character who heavily uses bite attacks.

 

[Paraster]

Bonus Fighter Criteria: A basic enemy (characters that are technically unique, but appear identical to basic enemies, are allowed).

 

[cashregister9]

Bonus fighter criteria: A Nature Based character

 

[Paraster]

For the sake of transparency, a word on time: I plan to have each submission and voting phase last at least 24 hours to minimize the possibility of time zones or schedules cheating anyone out of a chance to participate. This may run longer if I am busy at the time or feel there are too few submissions or votes at the 24-hour mark.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

A character who doesn’t traditionally have legs

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Quick question: While I assume companies will be irrelevant come the passes, will the PP replacement have to be a Nintendo character?

 

[Paraster]

Quick question: While I assume companies will be irrelevant come the passes, will the PP replacement have to be a Nintendo character?

That's actually a fair point I hadn't considered. While I want participants to stay as flexible as possible with their ideas, it does strain credulity a bit for this cheaper (temporarily free) one-off bonus to be third-party. Especially when you consider the strong implications that PP was supposed to be base game but was delayed to DLC--I imagine this would complicate contracts a bit for non-Nintendo characters.

I think, for this one slot, I will restrict it to Nintendo characters only. Probably good to ensure we get at least one guaranteed first-party anyway.

If you have submitted a prompt with a specific third-party in mind and want to change, feel free to do so--but please ping me to ensure I update my documentation.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Can I repeal my submission?

I want to change it to:

A Mario platformer character who is rarely if ever playable.

This could entail enemies, Nabbit, a car-less Koopaling, a long-forgotten one-off, an unproven Odyssey debut, a background NPC, what have you. Just no RPG, party, sports, or extended universe stuff.

 

[evanwoo10]

Bonus Fighter Criteria: A boss character

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Bonus Fighter Criteria: Less-Known Nintendo 80's/90's IP Rep

It can be Urban Champion, Bubbles, Donbe and Hikari or Muddy Mole as Examples.

 

[Paraster]

Bonus Fighter Criteria: Less-Known Nintendo 80's/90's IP Rep

It can be Urban Champion, Bubbles, Donbe and Hikari or Muddy Mole as Examples.

I think this one needs some adjustment; Mario is far from a less-known IP, so Piranha Plant doesn't fall under this.

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

Bonus Fighter Criteria - A First-Party character who doesn't have a traditional anthropomorphic body type (that is, similar to humans.)

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Bonus Fighter Criteria: A boss character

Is this one elegible? I know Piranha Plant was a boss in Mario Party DS but it isn't exactly known for being a boss.

 

[Paraster]

Is this one elegible? I know Piranha Plant was a boss in Mario Party DS but it isn't exactly known for being a boss.

I questioned it a bit, but decided to count it on a technicality since Piranha Plant-based characters have been bosses and PP's Final Smash is the most iconic of those bosses.

 

[Paraster]

I will be closing submissions and starting voting within the next two hours. If you want to make or edit a submission, please do so now.

 

[Paraster]

Vote: Bonus Fighter Criteria

Kamek (Art credit: FuntimeShadowFreddy)

The patriarchal figure of the Koopa King, Kamek would primarily use a variety of enemies and hazards from the Yoshi games (very few magic blasts or spell-casting hopefully, gotta leave the door open for Ashley, heh) - as a cute little detail, his default costume would be referred to by the announcer as Kamek, wheras the latter 7 are just regular old Magikoopas.

Job about Enemy:
Koopa Troopa

The Bowser's stooge and the Iconic Turtle enemy from Mario Series: KOOPA TROOPA!
That's right, he will be added into Smash as Bonus Character, which he will use moves from other Koopa Troopas like ParaTroopas a etc. Plus, he could be funniest Fighter inclusion for the Game.

His moveset would be Inspired by BrawlFan1's Idea.

Fighter Name: Shy Guy
Fighter Origin: Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic (Super Mario Bros. 2/USA)

Oh yeah! This shy fellow always wears a mask - as do all his friends! However, they all seem to get on well together. Utilising a wide variety of moves from similar enemies (such as the Sniffit as a projectile attack) and from across the Mario universe as a whole (for instance, a Kart as a Side B in reference to their Mario Kart DS appearance), they could be quite an unusual fighter. Not only that - I think they'd be a cool Mario 2 rep as a whole, as well as technically being a Yoshi rep! The idea of having Birdo as a Down B is pretty funny to me, too, though Wart or Kamek as a Final Smash could work too?

I think that Shy Guy would be a cool example of a Plant-like situation, where a lot of fans latch onto them (Shy Gang!) because, well... he's kinda relatable to a lot of Smashers and gamers as a whole - after all, we're not all exactly social butterflies. (Also, green Shy Guy winds up becoming a huge meme by the time of FP2 because of Dream, purely by coincidence, then when Steve gets added there winds up being tons of ****posts like "Oh, Dream got in before Steve Minecraft." I don't watch that content, but I'm aware it's popular, and GreenGuy being such a huge meme would be funny as hell to me.)

Lakitu

A Recurring character in mario that is not only an enemy but a helper in many instances as well.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

OK if I retract my Kamek submission? I want to submit something that isn't from Mario.

Skulltula (Zelda)

This edgy arachnid has all the tools to fight in Smash - a heavy body that can reflect oncoming fire, 8 sharp legs that slash and pierce, venomous fangs that really dig into foes' blood, fast crawling ability, and of course sticky webs that can trap foes or just be used to hang about. Plus, there's tons of alt costume potential with how inconsistent Zelda enemies' appearances can be.

 

[Yiptap]

I think most of the good submissions have been taken, but I'm definitely watching.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Surprised a certain someone hasn't been submitted yet, not complaining though.

I was planning on submitting Kamek myself lol

Kamek, serving as a representative of the Yoshi universe (not Mario), would be able to fire magic spells, transform things (maybe a move where he can change an item into a different item?) and summon various enemies.

Bandana Waddle Dee

Bandana Waddle Dee has become one of the most reoccurring Kirby characters in the 2010s. Bandana Waddle Dee is seen by many as the fourth main playable Kirby character in the series (behind Kirby, King Dedede, and Meta Knight). Bandana Waddle Dee would use his spear to fight opponents. Bandana Waddle Dee’s final Smash could involve his mini game from Kirby: Super Star.

Okay, here's the thing: when I gave my prompt the corollary of "can be identical to a basic character," it more referred to the likes of Kamek, who has little to no differences from regular Magikoopas aside from name and personality. If you added a Magikoopa fighter, it might as well be Kamek anyway. While I love Bandana Dee, his design and abilities are too different from ordinary Waddle Dees to fit my prompt in the way I envisioned.

That said, I admit the issue here is poor communication on my part, so I will give Bandana Dee a chance--I have started a poll on the top of the thread to vote on whether he should be allowed. Please vote based on if you think BD genuinely fits the prompt, not him as a fighter you'd like.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

I would argue Bandana Dee is way too similar to a generic enemy to be considered unique at all - that being said, I have still placed a no because I want to corrupt the power of democracy to fit my twisted desires he'd make the vote unfair as the only popular request here.

I think having a smash original character start off the pass would be kind of funny. Its moveset could be based on the various types found in the subspace emissary.

If Bandana Waddle Dee isn’t allowed, my submission will be Zinger.

Spoiler: Short Description

The Zingers were one of the most common (and annoying) enemies in the classic Donkey Kong Country games. The Zinger would use it’s stingers and wings to attack opponents. It could also call for more Zingers to aid it in combat. For a final smash, the Zinger could send opponents into a huge hive of Zingers.

 

[Paraster]

We will now begin voting for our bonus fighter. As per the thread poll, Bandana Waddle Dee will not be allowed and evanwoo10's Zinger submission will be used instead.

Our options are:

Koopa Troopa
