It's a genius idea, man.SEGA Mii Costume: Opa-Opa (Fantasy Zone - Hat)
Opa-Opa is the main protagonist of the "cute 'em up" series called Fantasy Zone which debuted in 1986. He is a sentient spaceship who oftentimes finds himself going on wacky and surprisingly traumatic intergalactic adventures to save the day. The original game was a classic hit in the arcades, having gotten all kinds of multiple re-releases and sequels.
Opa-Opa himself was SEGA's first official mascot, and had cameos in multiple games he created his theme song "Opa-Opa!" is up there in terms of classic SEGA tracks that often appear in other games and music albums, and he's generally still frequently used as a sort of "ambassador" for retro SEGA in general SEGA media. He's probably the closest thing SEGA have to a non-Sonic mascot.
When weared as a hat by Mii Fighter, Opa-Opa will just stand on their head while they're fighting. Don't question how he holds on, just roll with it.
These costumes would be released as a bundle, which I think is still justifiable as they are borderline identical. If that isn't OK, just use Robo (red, fair-skinned, and tall)Robo and Mobo Bonanza (Gunners)
Series: Bonanza Bros/Puzzle & Action
The Bonanza Bros. are two bumbling burglars (or defficiant detectives depending on your home country and time period) who rob a bank, pyramid, casino, and other such places. They are armed with tranquiliser guns and have a famous snort of "nyeh heh heh!"
Similar to the Off the Hook outfits that were previously submitted, I am submitting the Bros. as two seperate costumes that are borderline identical. They come with full masks like Sans/Cuphead/Vault Boy/Pig before them. They do not have visible legs. Mobo (blue, tan) is made taller to fit Gunner's proportions, but still has a wider head and body. Both brothers will use their stun guns as their Mii guns.
Bonanza Bros. is a classic Sega game and one of the most beloved pre-Sonic Sega offerings. It was one of the earliest true stealth games and is a frequent staple of Sega's retro compilations.
If they're basically the same why not just have them just be one costume you can change the colors for, like Bomberman, no need to take up two spots
I fell this wouldn’t sell costumes though. While I did say a history on Sega properties, this history should be recognizable. It’s debatable that this costume would be enough to sell costumes. Plus, we also have a rabbit costume in the forum of Arcade Bunny.I'll present you with THE most obscure SEGA character no one has ever heard of
SEGA Mii Costume: Professor Asobin (Mii Brawler)
This gentleman looking like straight out of Alice in Wonderland was the unofficial SEGA mascot by many, and for one reason. He appared in almost all of the Japanese manuals in early games for the SG-1000, SEGA's first console that was only released in Japan, though he never appeared in the games himself nor having his own one either. He dissapeared after the 80's and was replaced by Dr. Games, then Opa-Opa, but that doesn't mean he is gone from the public eye. You might have seen this guy in SeHa Girls anime as the avatar for Center.
He will be a full costume for the Mii Brawler, much like King K. Rool, with his top hat and head as a headgear, and his outfift for the rest.
I'd buy the crap out of a Professor Asobin costume - anyway, if Asobin is treated in a vacuum as just "dapper rabbit", there'd surely still be a market there, right? I bought a lot of Mii Costumes just because they looked like another character I wanted to make or simply looked cool in general, I'm sure a lot of people would just want a Mii of a top-hatted bunny even if they have no clue who it is. Any character can be marketable with this context and price tag, regardless of actual popularity or recongisability.
If it makes you feel better, Samba de Janeiro isn't from Samba de Amigo; it's actually by a German pop group (Bellini) who own it; SEGA just pays licensing fees when they want to use it; unlike "Mexican Flyer" from Space Channel 5 which SEGA actually purchased from it's copyright owners; Nintendo likely wouldn't be willing to play ball with Bellini over the rights to include it.
I'm shocked you didn't submit Vyse; I would have but I assumed you would, so I went with Alis instead...I have been waiting for this moment. SEGA have an absolutely nuts wealth of Mii Costume potential that I really think Smash oughta delve into, and after looking over some candidates, I ultimately landed upon this character, because I feel they strike a good balance between being a noteworthy and deserving SEGA character and also someone I don't see anyone else submitting. So here they are:
SEGA Mii Costume: Temjin from Cyber Troopers Virtual-ON
View attachment 345224
Cyber Troopers Virtual-ON is a series of 3D fighter/shooter hybrid arcade games developed by the AM3 team at SEGA, who are most famous for also having been behind Crazy Taxi. Virtual-ON revolves around Virtuaroids (VRs for short), who are basically big ****ing robots who are decked out with weaponry and are fighting each other for the fate of the world. These battles are made possible thanks to one of this series' most distinctive and defining quirks: the use of a twin-stick controller to control the VRs, in which you have two arcade sticks complemented by a variety of other controls. This made for a rather unique control scheme in which the VRs are actually controlled like industrial machinery, which was a big factor in the series' popularity and is sometimes considered to have revolutionized the use of twin sticks in gaming. The mechs in this series are also notable for having been designed by Hajime Katoki, a character designer who has worked on Gundam.
The series has 4 main games that were released between 1996 and 2003. In more recent years, there has also been a crossover game with the light novel series A Certain Magical Index and a collection of the first three games on the PS4. This is actually a very notable series for SEGA - the original games were big hits on arcades, the series has quite the cult following, and SEGA reference it, like, all the time. I think the two most shining examples of the series getting referenced are the original game being playable in Yakuza Kiwami 2 and some of the more recognizable mechs from the series showing up in Super Robot Wars (fun fact: an unspecified Virtual-ON character was in the cards for Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed - apparently even having had a model made of them - but was unfortunately scrapped. this is so sad alexa pls play in the blue sky). But it also just keeps popping up in all sorts of smaller ways. The old SEGA 60th anniversary pfp thing they did had like a bajillion Virtual-ON icons. If you listen to any of these big SEGA music albums, there's a pretty high likelihood that there will be some Virtual-ON representation. It's just a series that SEGA clearly have a lot of reverence for (it's also gotten stuff like figurines, light novels, and drama CDs). Also it's a series about cool robots fighting like cmon we gotta get it in
Temjin is more or less the face of Virtual-ON. It's the mascot. The poster bot, if you will. Temjin is an all-around fighter, whose main weapon is a laser blade that can also be transformed into an energy rifle. This is why I suggest that the Temjin costume be available for both Gunners and Swordfighters: the former gets the rifle, and the latter gets the blade. Design-wise, Temjin's costume is one that covers your head entirely, in a similar fashion to the Sans or Bomberman costumes for example. As you can see, Temjin's design is pretty complex, so it'd have to be somewhat simplified/chibified for the costume. But regardless I think Temjin would be a sick ****ing Mii costume and I do believe Virtual-ON is a series of high enough caliber within SEGA's library to get a Mii costume with Sakura. They're both also kinda from the Saturn era, so there's an additional connection!
TL;DR: cool robot
1. they wouldn't take up slots, they'd be two costumes bundled as one
Exactly, you see, there are submissions that are really worthy like Alis, Temjin and Opa-Opa.
Give it just two color variants, red and blue. Easy.
But wait, what if it depended on Mii color costume?
I considered submitting Vyse, but as lovely as it'd be for him to get a Mii Costume in Smash, I felt Virtual-ON was probably the higher-priority franchise of the two big ones I was considering.
But 1. Mobo and Robo have different skin colours and proportions, doing that would just give a "blue-shirt fat orange Robo" or "red-shirt skinny yellow Mobo" rather than both of the actual Bonanza Bros., and 2. there are more colour options for Miis than just red and blue - what happens if someone sets a composited Bonanza Bros. costume to orange?
Sorry bro, but I can't because I've already submitted Space Harrier as Mii Gunner Costume.
Stark disagreement. DLC costumes should be designed to sell. Note that all 3rd Party DLC costumes in the actual games come from notable games. No one gives a damn about a random doodle who shows up in instruction manuals and thus, might I add, doesn't even come from a game.
Skin colors and proportions don't matter, it has to be matched to the Miis. Did you forget about that part?
I care about Asobin tho. He was part of SEGA's history like Sakura.
Mobo would have a shorter head and thicker arms, vice versa for Robo - compare the Sans costume to the Vault Boy costume and you'll see that Mii Costumes do have distinct proportions. Additionally, what happens if the Bonanza Bros. mask is put on a Mii with a skin tone that isn't tanned? There are no light-skinned or black Bonanza Bros, and it'd be extremely hard to communicate that your base Mii has to be a specific tan to make Mobo instead of Robo.
That's probably fair.
Yeah, it's fair.
I mean I feel like that's a sacrifice you gotta make; my point here is that I think Venus would rule that as taking two costumes instead of one the way you have it written; and I mean it's not like Smash hasn't taken creative liberties before. It's Bonanza Bros, that's like having Mario without Luigi.
The idea I had was that seperate Bonanza Bros. costumes would be identical enough - both from a development and consumer standpoint - to justify selling them as a bundle. A comparison I could give is the male and female versions of the animal costumes in 3DS/Wii U, which were basically different costumes but sold as a single package - the Bonanza Bros would be that, but not split by gender and instead split by selection.
I mean that's not the worst thing though I do wonder, how would SEGA treat that? Wouldn't they want further licensing fees for both characters? You could reasonably work around that just by calling the costume "Bonanza Bro" and having two options, but if we're going to go the full mile and do both, I feel like as a business they'd probably be more shrewd on that licensing since at that point it's not an alternate color anymore, it's the full mile. Ultimately it's up to Venus, but I'll say I couldn't justify voting for it if the call is that they'd be seperate and take up two slots.The idea I had was that seperate Bonanza Bros. costumes would be identical enough - both from a development and consumer standpoint - to justify selling them as a bundle.

I'm not really asking for the Bros. to be seperated by gender option, but rather be purchased and treated as one costume officially, but have seperate selection on the list - though I guess I would be fine with Robo as the "male" option and Mobo as the "female", even if it'd be a little cryptic.
I feel this is the best option we have. Technically, we would have to give both a Mii costume slot.
.....Ah, **** it. I'll change my submission.
Gallian Militia Uniform (Valkyria Chronicles)
For the Mii Gunner. Valkyria Chronicles is a series of Tactical RPGs with a unique combat system. There is one piece to this set:
- Gallian Militia Uniform (for the body)
- Gives you the uniform and a gun. The uniform can be altered based on the gender that the Mii is assigned. If male, it will take on the uniform that Welkin wears (right) and if female, it will have one similar to Alicia (left).
Kiryu Kazuma
This would be a mii costume for all 3 classes and it consists of the body and hair
Brawler has just his fists
Gunner has a pistol
Swordfighter has an iron pipe

Opa-Opa is the main protagonist of the "cute 'em up" series called Fantasy Zone which debuted in 1986.

Hopefully SMT counts...
Jack Frost
He's deconfirmed for base game anyway, so I'm okay with submitting hee ho man
Jack Frost would be a brawler. The headgear is a Jack Frost helmet/head, and the bottom would be fromJack Frost's collar to his shoes.
Here are our accepted submissions. I will be posting our voting Link and form soon.
