So is smash the metaverse?

Since joker’s gun can shoot, does that mean all of the stages are in the metaverse?

No, the Smashverse is just OP and can do whatever it wants, breaking all the rules, like making Kirby a bad character even tho by the standard of all the characters lores, Kirby is actually the most overpowered character lore of all the characters.

There's actually some very interesting implications here about the cosmology of the smash world;

As evidenced practically throughout the smash series, and in fact confirmed by sakurai himself in the November 1st direct, the world that smash takes place in is one that exists through the imagination of humans, and that certain objects (namely the fighters, who are toys or figurines) within the real world translates over into the imaginary world of smash, almost exactly like the cognitive world from Persona. They are certainly not one and the same, but I can safely say that they operate on very similar laws.

There's certainly more I could say about the smash universes inner workings, but that's probably for another thread lol
