Dates are important. That listing is tracking how much those franchises have made from their beginning to right now. The MCU's only been around for 11 years, whereas Star Wars has been around since 1977, Mario's been around since 1981, and Hello Kitty since 1974. Winnie the Pooh's been around since 1924, so it's had a 95 year-long run. It might not be super popular now, but was plenty popular in the past, and has had almost a century to be consistently popular.
Still. The fact that Pokémon rates as number one really says something doesn’t it.

-Tabuu, Master Hand, Crazy Hand, Galeem, and Darkon resurrect.
-Mission is to make an alliance and take over the entire video game multiverse.
-Wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff causes the different video game universes to merge in the first place.
-They initially win, taking over society like it's 1984.
-Original 8 (Mario, DK, Link, Samus, Yoshi, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu) form a resistence to lead the charge against the big 5 baddies and free everyone from the dystopian world.
-Each of the original 8 can also have a branching path and different plots, similar to Subspace Emissary. Inserting a little character development too will help, since Lucas and King Dedede were two of the only characters with any kind of development in SE, maybe THE only 2.
I think it could be argued that Fox (and maybe Samus?) have some character development.

Speaking of bootlegs and Winnie the Pooh, here's a classic:

It does indeed. Mainly due to whoever is in charge of licensing the merchandise, because they're the masterminds who've made about two thirds of all the series' money. If Nintendo were that good at licensing their other franchises, they'd be on top of the world right now.

Wow, my favorite disease is making my favorite bootlegs.

GOUT!

I love all the DLC so far (including Plant), but if I had to pick favorites I'd go with Banjo and Hero. Banjo is pure nostalgia pumped right into my heart. I can't even tell you how many hours I sunk into Banjo-Kazooie, and to see all of that reincarnated into Smash in a more modern context? Just makes me smile.

I may not have an attachment to DQ, but Hero is freaking amazing. He fits perfectly. So much personality and legacy crammed into one character. It's the same sort of fondness I have for the shotos (Ryu and Ken) in that Hero's kit is emblematic of the games that he's been in. The spells, the crit chance on his Smashes, the menu...it's incredible.

Anybody here a fan of Courage the cowardly dog?

There is an animated collaboration that just came out, a bunch of artists animated short parts of an episode and combined them together to remake the full Freaky Fred episode with constantly shifting art styles. Pretty cool stuff!

What if Doom had the option to choose between a male and female protagonist.

And it doesn’t make any difference because the games have no plot and you never see yourself in game.
