Have you ever sat down and thought "man I wish more people knew that this and that happened to my favorite character"? Or you just wish that people had more knowledge about your favorite characters in general? Well, if you have, share some information let's us. Tell us about the most smallest pieces of trivia. Tell us about your character's favorite food, what they like to do in their freetime, if that has ever been explored in a game. Let's get educated!

As for me, I wish more people knew about Lucas and the tragic life that he lived. I mean really, for just a boy, he witnessed some really heartbreaking and traumatic moments in his youth, but I feel like the majority of people's knowledge about him is that he's just a crybaby (which is true) from Subspace and that he screams "PK FIRE". But there is so much more to be explored with Lucas, so much depth to his character that Shigesato Itoi crafted so perfectly in Mother 3, even though he is a silent protagonist most of the game.
That's Lucas jumping off a cliff in an attempt to reunite with his dead mother. This is what I'm talking about when I say tragic. But Lucas' story isn't completely depressing, there's a lot of humor and charm that also comes with Mother 3. Thankfully, Sakurai was able to capture Mother 3's silly side with some of Lucas' move, an aspect of Smash that I really appreciate. For example, you know Lucas' entrance animation? He's riding on a Mr. Saturn Coffee Table. A friggin' coffee table with moveable legs that stomp like a horse.
Or what about that one time in Mother 3 where Lucas and the gang get oxygen from a merman in a very humorous and... odd scene:
The story of Lucas is hardly known not just because Mother is an obscure series, but also because Mother 3 was never released outside of Japan. However, I highly recommend this RPG to anyone. It has a nature vs. technology theme and blends many different personality and motives together into a well-put story that will have you laughing and bawling your eyes out (seriously, if you don't feel anything at the end of the game, you have no heart!). This is the first and only game that actually made me cry, and it's characters and world will forever hold a place in my heart. I understand that to a lot of people Lucas is just another character in Smash, but to me, he means much more, and I will be forever greatful to Sakurai for including him in Smash.
