SmashBoards has created: Super Mario Smash Bros!

[BlustersBest]

The Minions

Probably an unpopular pick, but there is a double tie here. First, the studio that created the Minions, Illumination Entertainment, is of course making the Super Mario movie. Secondly, Illumination's parent company, Universal, is responsible for Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios Japan. They've appeared in lots of promotional material related to these two projects, and I think they would fit in well with the rest of the roster.

Inspector Gadget

Given the fact that we have a Super Mario Bros. Super Show stage, we should definitely have more representation for the DiC Entertainment/WildBrain era of Mario. Therefore, look no further than Inspector Gadget! This dimwitted cyborg police inspector actually appeared on the Super Mario Bros Super Show once in live action. He can have a quirky moveset with his gadgets of course! He would also come with a slew of content from other DiC Entertainment/WildBrain owned IPs. Go gadget go!

Only if his Neutral B is throwing a Brown Brick at his opponents.

Does fan characters counts?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Does fan characters counts?

No. We already did a job for OCs in base game, which got us Warupichi and Warudaisi

 

[Baysha]

Don't really have any character ideas atm.

Conquest: RPG battle. Paper Mario (Paper Mario's cap) vs Mario and Luigi (Starlow hat)

 

[AlRex]

Godzilla, another Japanese icon, and one that would be kind of strange to see suddenly appear. Plus I'm still sad for what initially happened to him back when I ran the Pop Culture Clash thread. He can use his atomic breath streams or even fly around with them, balance on his tail for a kick forward, send out a nuclear pulse from his body, and a whole bunch of weird things in various comics and other media, ranging from becoming composed of demons from Hell, playing basketball, becoming an EVA Unit...there is a lot of Godzilla stuff, and while I wouldn't necessarily say to make him do all of those strange things for his moveset, Godzilla is definitely a character who has worked in a wide variety of tones before. He can also be a giant character, functionally similar in that regard to the Iron Giant in MultiVersus.

 

[cashregister9]

SD Gundam

Gundam is one of the biggest franchises out there with hundreds of thousands of appearances with shows, manga, games and merchandise.

SD or Super Deformed is a chibi style that was popularized with Gundam.

Having Gundam here would be a fun and unexpected addition

 

[Otoad64]

Shrek

somebody has to do it. I don't think I need to say much other than Universal and Nintendo seem to have a pretty strong relationship and I think he fits in well with the rest of the cast.

By removing my self-vote, FazDude's Microsoft list wins

World 1-1 will be the 6th form of Mushroom Kingdom!

Garfield

What better way is there to introduce non-game characters into Smash than with a perpetual meme? I feel this one isn't too out of left field, but also really funny - Garfield is also, as far as I can tell, not popular in Japan so it could increase his popularity. Helps he already has a moveset to use. Also, the potential for Nickelodeon hats here is great. I do at least imagine Garfield's promo material would promote NASB (or a sequel to it, depending on the timeframe)

Mario conquest: Donkey Kong 80s (Wario, arcade marque and bezel hat) vs. Donkey Kong 90s (Mario, SNES cartridge hat)

Okay as cool of a choice as Garfield is, I have another cat character I’ve been wanting to submit for a while.
Hello Kitty

Not only is this feline a worldwide icon who is a instantly recognizable, she’s no stranger to crossovers and she’s even appeared in a Mario game before! I’m not 100% sure what her moveset would entail, but I still really think she’d be an excellent fit in the game aesthetically and tonally.

I’d also be willing to add more Sanrio characters as alternate costumes. If nobody else, I’d choose Melody since she’s the other one who appeared in a Mario game.

Oh also since I forgot, conquest:
The Speedrunner Matchup! Mario 64 (Team Mario, N64 Mario hats) VS Mario Odyssey (Team Wario, Cappy eyes Wedding hats)

Popeye

With early connections to the Mario franchise and being a natural born fighter, I think Popeye would be a fantastic way to kick off the Mario Smash guest list.

Mickey Mouse

View attachment 358210

yes,the greatest icon of cartoons on Super Mario Smash Bros. well,a crossover between Disney and Nintendo was on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate,having Sora as the last fighter with Disney's partcipation. i think that mickey is a excelent guest fighter

View attachment 358213
Fred Flinstone

yes I am doing this for the meme. A classic cartoon character. It wouldn't be the first time Mario has delt with cavemen and dinosaurs. You could make a moveset that pulls from both the cartoons and the NES game. He'd come with content from his own show and other classic Hanna Barbera shows.

The Minions

Probably an unpopular pick, but there is a double tie here. First, the studio that created the Minions, Illumination Entertainment, is of course making the Super Mario movie.

Mario is on Mario and Luigi team because he likes his brother and wants to support him and Wario is on Paper Mario team because he thought "paper" in this context meant money and it was too late when he found out it was just regular paper.

We have a winner! Tough to the finnish cuz' he eats his spinach, Popeye the Sailor Man will be joining the battle as the second (technically third) crossover character and first guest fighter! This means other King Features properties are disconfirmed, and the next fighter will be an Eastern guest.

Additionally, we will be doing the Donkey Kong Conquest, very fitting.

[Wario Wario Wario]

Submit Popeye's moveset and Final Smash!

Usually I'd do these as seperate jobs, but I feel there could be a bit of dissonance with the use of spinach (Final Smash? comeback mechanic? entrance animation?) so I'll group these two jobs together

Submit a victory theme for Popeye!

I don't really think this one needs to be done as a job, it's quite obvious LMAO - but in case anyone has a better idea or a different take on how the jingle should be used I'll still do it.

 

[Torgo the Bear]

I'm honestly quite satisfied with Popeye's inclusion- considering his relation and significance to Mario's creation, he's just a perfect fit

Anyways, Moveset ideas:

Any time Popeye lands a hit with Special Zoom or Finishing Zoom, his opponent will temporarily transform into a mass of smaller objects that they are supposedly made out of or associated with, such as DK becoming a bunch of bananas. This is something we could have a job for designing, if accepted.

Standard Special: Windup Punch
Essentially a reskinned Falcon Punch, this move has Popeye reel his fist back (causing his arm to coil up like a snake in the process) before he unleashes a mighty punch!

Side Special: Projectile Punch
A random projectile comes flying towards Popeye, but he punches it away to send it flying towards his opponents. He punches random objects from the Popeye arcade game, such as bottles and skulls, but they all function the same. They bounce forwards a short distance, not unlike Mario's fireballs.

Up Special: Sailor Upper
Popeye leaps into the air with a powerful uppercut! But if he hits somebody, he'll transition into a series of multiple rapid punches into the opponent's chin before one final additional uppercut launches them away.

Down Special: Cartoon Counter
Popeye smiles as he steels himself. In a rush of cartoon energy, Popeye manages to tank a hit from an opponent, and counter it with a highly exaggerated chest bump! This causes the opponent to reel back in a daze, which Popeye can easily follow up on.

Final Smash: Strong to the finich!
Popeye whips out a can of spinach and crunches it inside his fist, causing the contents to launch into the air and land inside his mouth! With a new flow of power, Popeye proceeds to fight as usual, but his movement speed and attack power is doubled for six seconds! He also receives super armor for this time.

Popeye victory: The Popeye theme song, directly ripped from the cartoons and not shortened - starts at 0:03

Torgo's Popeye moveset will be used, as will my victory theme

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Submit cosmetics for Popeye!

Please submit 20 pieces of cosmetic content for Popeye (not including the Popeye hat, which is included by default) - you can have any distribution between hats/trails/patterns you want, and while it should primarily focus on Thimble Theater characters you can also add other King Features licenses, including those they don't actually own, such as the American Dennis the Menace; Cuphead; Archie Comics; Moomin; Betty Boop; the Crazy Frog; and Hagar the Horrible.

Submit two stages for Popeye!

Please submit up to two stages for Popeye! These should be specifically Popeye/Thimble Theater themed stages.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

1. Olive Oyl hat
2. Bluto beard
3. The Jeep hat
4. Sea Hag nose and hood (has warts like in the cancelled movie)
5. Sea Hag warts pattern (non-customisable)
6. Wimpy bowler hat
7. King Blozo crown
8. Sea Hag's vulture mouth hat
9. Alice the Goon's hat and nose
10. Spinach hat
11. Spinach trail

Rough House Cafe

The perfect arena for a classic bar fight, this stage is inside the bar and basically a plain walkoff, however there are 4 platforms that are bar stools - the bar stools are soft platforms and while you can walk through their legs no problen, you can also attack the legs to shove the bar stool into the direct next one, launching away anyone on the next bar stool and changing the layout. You can even slide the bar stools off-stage! This stage also has a ceiling.

Thimble Theatre

Ever seen those custom Smash stages that take place inside a comic book? This is one of those! The comic pages will gradually change, changing the layout in the process. Nothing within the comics themselves are interactable though.

 

[Deleted member]

Sweethaven
Popeye's home from the Robin Williams movie and a real world location you can visit. Players fight on a port with colourful houses in the background. There ks a docked ship that players can climb onto. The other Popeye characters appear in the background.

Sea Hag's Island
In terms of layout this is almost like Spiral Mountain, without all the turning stuff. The Hag herself will appear and her vulture will acta s a stage hazard.

 

[FazDude]

Stage: The Olive

Popeye wouldn't be much of a sailor man if it weren't for his trusty sailboat. I could imagine this stage being similar to canon Smash's Pirate Ship, with the boat occasionally crashing into some rocks.

(also til king features owns some distribution stake in cuphead that's so cool)

Popeye Intro: Popeye is already on the stage, crunching a can of spinach into his mouth.

Taunts

• Up: Popeye blows on his pipe twice, making the iconic "toot toot!" noise.
• Left: Popeye lets out his infamous laugh.
• Right: Popeye rolls up his (already fairly short) sleeves while saying one of his iconic lines: "This is all I can stands, I can't stands no more!"
• Down: Popeye flexes his bicep, with a can of spinach being seen inside it.

Victory Animations

• Olive Oyl runs onto the stage and gives Popeye a kiss, causing his pipe to spin.
• Popeye flexes while saying "I yam what I yam, and that's all that I yam!"
• Popeye holds up a can of spinach, says "I eats me spinach!", and then chuckles.
• Popeye uppercuts Bluto into the sky, looking on as he becomes nothing more than a mere twinkle. He then looks at the camera and chuckles.

If you linger on Popeye's pose until his victory theme ends on any victory animation, he'll make the "toot toot!" noise with his pipe before the usual results music plays.

Clapping: Popeye claps, but seems rather disgruntled as he wears a scowl on his face.
