The Cute Little Mascot for The Famicom Disk System: DISKUN!!! (The True Concept of Diskun)
First Appearance: Smash Ping Pong!
Other Appearances: Golf Japan Course, Golf US Course, Nakayama Miho no Tokimeki High School, Janken Disk Shiro, Super Smash Brothers Melee.
So, Diskun is just a slice of toast with eyes that can't move right?
Actually, Diskun appeared as the main character in a very obscure rpg/puzzle game called: Janken Disk Jō
In this game Diskun can move in 4 directions as flexible as Kirby as this sprite sheet shows:
Since Diskun is a 2D Sprite, he can change perspective and animations while remaining 2D like Mr. Game & Watch or Paper Mario. So now that Diskun can move freely and he's the mascot of the fairly succesful and notable add-on for the revolutionary Famicom, what abilities does he have?
Well, Diskun is a famicom disk which had some notable features. The most notable of these features was their rewriting capability. Aside from being applied to conventional things like saving progress, certain disks could also have their games entirely overwritten for a small fee so players could try something new.
Disks can have data from Famicom games written onto them. If Diskun has data from Famicom games, he could mimick abilities from any Famicom game giving him a potential move set since he carries the data that he copied from them. And since he is the mascot of the Famicom it fits perfectly. (this also means he could do anything that Duck Hunt Dog could do)

Diskun's Trophy in Super Smash Brothers Melee:
"This little guy is the adorable mascot for a Nintendo Entertainment System peripheral device released in 1985. Using the disk system, you could rewrite games for 500 yen, an epochal and economical feature. Funnily enough, the instruction booklet was sold separately for 100 yen. The disk system's first game was The Legend of Zelda."

Diskun in Smash Ping Pong & Janken Disk Shiro:
In conclusion I consider it a great idea to represent the mascot of the Famicom's notable peripharal: The Famicom Disk System. It seems like a great part of Nintendo History to represent.
