If we are indeed getting Mike as a playable character, then he has to be revealed next! If for whatever reason he is the final character, then for people it would be a disappointing way to end the DLC. Not to mention how much hate he might get for being a Nintendo character and also being the last fighter. . .As much as I want the remaining two characters of the Pass to be third party, I am willing to sacrifice one of them if it means Mike Jones gets in.

I can't stress enough how incredible this was the first time it was discovered over a year ago. Whoever from NoA wrote this, thank you. https://t.co/ax6z1YQtS8

It really grinds my gears when people start saying that StarTropics copied EarthBound. The only reason they have stuff in common is that both were created with an American audience in mind! Oh, boy and don't get me started with the whole "bUt MiKe wOuLd Be A nEss ClOne." Mike doesn't use his yo-yo and psychic powers the same way Ness does! And even then, they also like to ignore the fact that Ness borrows nearly all his special attacks from other EarthBound characters! Just take a look at this:Just a "little" rant here but I'm really starting to get tired of people seeing blue R.O.B. as a navcom reference. NAV-COM's sprite is NOT BLUE. It's PURPLE. If anything, the pink skin resembles navcom more by that logic since that skin has purple segments. Heck, his original artwork has robs gray colors.
Can I also just say, that this thought makes no common sense? So, how is it possible that NAVCOM is the character that represents StarTropics for all these years with an objectively inaccurate skin, and there's still NO Mike Jones trophy/sticker/spirit? It just doesn't add up. It's very obvious that NoJ doesn't care or is even aware of StarTropics, so why would they even give rob a skin referencing a minor character in that game, and yet they refuse to aknowledge the MAIN PROTAGONIST OF SAID GAME FOR OVER A DECADE NOW!? In the end, ST is NOT represented, the Chronicle mention from Brawl does not count and they BETTER give us at LEAST a glorified PNG of Mike before Ultimate is done with dev support, or else... I dunno what we're gonna do after this you guys...
Allright, let's end this post on a more... positive note?
Anyone here remember this Brawl in the family comic? I do... Honestly I get its made to mock the EarthBound/StarTropics comparison, but... kinda getting annoyed of that whole thing as well. Specially in regards to Smash...

Hey @Mariners. Do you support me, Mike Jones from the Nintendo classic StarTropics, a fellow pitcher from Seattle as a DLC fighter for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch? https://t.co/4dt2pUACvJ

What if the letter we send them finally changed their minds, or made them aware of Smash's Japanese bias!Nintendo is participating at this year's E3. Maybe the dream can finally happen here?
There's also this. Maybe Mike could be the bonus fighter? That would imply there's no spirit board, stage and large music list, but I'll take anything at this point.

Interesting! StarTropics' German subtitle is "Das Geheimnis der Koralleninseln!" Which translates to English as "The secret of the coral islands!". It's not "A Test of Island Courage" or anything like that. Even I didn't know about this before! https://t.co/S3ACdeYfyq
