Ok, here are the cutscene ideas I was talking about:
-Begin Cutscene-
The camera hovers over Dreamland as it is shrouded in night. It then zooms into a forest where 2 Waddle Dee are making a mad dash, while carrying a shining object in their hands. It's the Star Rod! (The one from Paper Mario). As the 2 make it toward the clearing, one of them stumbles over a rock, knocking over the other, sending the Star Rod flying through the air and sliding across the ground before sliding to a stop at the familiar stubby feet of King Dedede. As Dedede picks up the Star Rod, he throws an embarrassed glance at the 2 Waddle Dee struggling to stand up right. Dedede gives them a nod of approval and dismisses them. As he begins to examine the Star Rod in all its glory, he senses another figure stepping out of the woods. It's Geno! And he's here to reclaim the Star Road/Haven's stolen property! Geno holds out his hand and transforms it into a wand, preparing his Geno Beam attack to intimidate Dedede. Dedede smirks and pulls out his hammer and smashes it into the ground, causing the area to shake. As Dedede charges at Geno, the camera switches to behind Geno to dramatize his attack.
-Cutscene Ends-
-Battle Starts-
Geno Vs. Dedede
No character choice. You have to be Geno.
Stage: Dreamland (Night) <----Hopefully Dreamland will return with day and night intervals.
Music: King Dedede Theme
-Cutscene upon Victory-
As the scene starts, Geno and Dedede are thrown back in opposite directions from the force of their attacks. The 2 prepare to launch a final attack, but as they are, something catches Dedede's eyes and he fires off a blast from the Star Rod, which flies past Geno and strikes something in the shadows. Geno looks back and witnesses a Primid collapse from the shadows and starts to disintegrate into purple clouds. In shock he throws a questioning glace at Dedede. Dedede simply points at the Primid and turns toward the horizon where the sun is rising, revealing the clear image of a Subspace Vortex engulfing the area where the Fountain of Dreams used to be. He then draws Geno's attention to the Star Rod and points it at the dying Primid. His motions implying "They're causing that destruction and I'm using the Star Rod to stop them." Geno, understanding Dedede's true intentions, ceases his attack. Dedede reluctantly holds out his hand, requesting Geno's assistance. Geno nods and shakes Dedede's hand. The moment is interrupted as more Primids begin to erupt from the woods, surrounding them. Dedede slings his hammer over his shoulder as Geno prepares his Geno Beam once again. They strike a pose.
Chose Character: Geno or Dedede.
-Level Start-
Level: Dreamland (Green Greens)
-End of level Cutscene-
As Geno and Dedede are dashing across Green Greens, Dedede comes to a stop when a light flies overhead in the sky. Even from such as distance, Dedede recognizes the flying object instantly; It's Kirby's Warpstar! (Peach or Zelda will be with Kirby). As the warpstar flies off into the distance, Dedede motions toward Geno to follow him and pursue it. As the 2 run off, Dedede has a somewhat disgruntled look on his face that seems to say "Who would have thought I'd have to team up with HIM again?"
There you go. I might write some more scenes later. Maybe something with Geno and Mario teaming up again and Smithy as a boss.
