Name: Monita

Universe: Nintendo Land

Game of Origin: Nintendo Land

Monita is the monotone automaton that acts as your guide through the theme park worlds of Nintendo Land. While the tone of her voice is unchanging, she is packed full of personality. And while Monita is an ally to you, she also takes up the role of an antagonist in the Pikmin Adventure and Metroid Blast attractions in Nintendo Land. Or perhaps she's not the villain. Perhaps we're hunted by her evil doppelganger. The only difference between Monita and her Dark counterpart is a large purple jester hat. 

For this Assist Trophy, Monita would appear and hover above the stage. Next to Monita would appear a Nintendo Land style item box. 

(The picture is actually from Super Mario 3D Land, but they're very similar in design)

Name: Bowser's Airship Fleet

Universe: Mario

Game of origin: Super Mario Bros 3

Probability of inclusion: Moderate

If you've played a main entry into the Mario game universe since 1989, then you're no doubt familiar with the deep, booming drumline that heralds the arrival of this fleet. Bowser, tired of relying on his reptilian legs to carry him, decided to amass a large airborne navy to assist him in his princess snatching endeavors. Since their debut in SMB3, the airships have made appearances in the New Super Mario Bros series, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario 3D Land. A crashed Airship also serves as the entrance to Bowser's hideout in Super Mario World, only submerged in the ocean and filled with Boos. (Perhaps they're the spirits of the crewmen who were killed during the crash, forever bound to the husk of the vessel on which they served.) (For more spooky Mario themed shenanigans, be sure to check out my stage for the Ghost House)

When you think of Bowser's ships, one of the first things to cross your mind is probably the practicality (or lack thereof) in their design. Here, have a look at some of the designs of the airships in SMB3. x x x  Sure, they shouldn't be capable of flight, but neither should an Italian man wearing a raccoon suit. That, dear readers, is called 'Suspension of Disbelief'. But it's these designs that make the ships so unique and memorable, and that's why I think they'd make a good stage. There's no special gimmicks to be discussed about this stage. Just a simple airship modeled after their SMB3 appearance. Perhaps a a few cannons could be included, or maybe the occasional stray Bullet Bill could pass by the stage, but for the most part, this is a very straightforward and simple stage.

Musical selections for this stage are as follows:

Bowser's Airship Theme (Super Mario Galaxy 2)

Bowser's Galaxy Generator (Super Mario Galaxy)

Castle (Yoshi's Island)

Airship Theme (SMB3 Super Mario All Stars version)

Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros Wii)

Tower (New Super Mario Bros U)

Vs Big Bowser (New Super Mario Bros series)

Miniboss (New Super Mario Bros)

Name: Toad/Toadette

Universe: Mario

Game(s) of origin: Super Mario Bros/Mario Kart Double Dash!

Probability of inclusion: Moderate

Toad! Toadette! Love 'em or hate 'em, Toads have been a staple in the Mario franchise since day one. But how could you hate Toad? Just look at that happy face! Toad is the name of the species, but there is also a recurring character named Toad. (Much like Yoshi) Toad debuted in Super Mario Bros, alerting Mario of Bowser's treachery and uttering the famous phrase "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" Toad went on to become a playable character in Super Mario Bros 2, only to have the privilege of being playable in a main Mario adventure revoked until New Super Mario Bros Wii. Between that time, Toad filled various roles in the many Mario games to pop up, often times acting as a guide character. Toadette, Toad's female counterpart, debuted in Mario Kart: Double Dash! as Toad's partner, but has had other appearances in franchises such as Mario Party, Mario sports, and even Mario Galaxy.

These characters were inspired by tumblr user Kirsties-Alley saying that he'd like to see these two in the game as a tag-team. You maybe be saying "Hey, if Toad becomes a playable character, then what will we do about Peach's counter attack?" Well, it could always be left unchanged, or she could protect herself with a different colored Toad. Or, we could go with my personal favorite idea and have her protect herself with Toadsworth. Furthermore, I think another pair of Toads that could be used in place of these two could be Yvan and Wolley. If you're not familiar with those two, they're the fan-given nicknames for the Yellow and (Navy) Blue toads that you can play as in the NSMB Wii series. So perhaps an alternate color pallet for these two could turn them yellow and blue, in reference to the two Toad heroes that hang with the plumbers. 

These two's special attacks are all based on various power-ups that appear in Mario games. My current plan is to have Toad lead and Toadette follow. When you press one of the special attack buttons, two item blocks appear over the Toads' heads. They'll jump up and grab the items that fall from the blocks, which would give them the new Power-up and alter their appearance. Pressing the B button without and directional input would cause them to use their powerups. Pressing with a directional input would switch them to the next power.

Standard Special: Rock Mushroom/Hammer Bros Suit - Toad turns into the giant stone ball from Super Mario Galaxy, Toadette dons the suit and hops on top. Toad rolls across the ground slowly and Toadette throws hammers into the air. 

Side Special: Ice Flower/Boomerang Flower - Toad launches an iceball forward and Toadette throws a Boomerang in between. The iceball would temporarily freeze the opponent. The Boomerang would shatter the ice block, damaging the opponent. 

Down Special Tanooki Suit/Blue Koopa Shell - Toadette gains the Tanooki suit, which she would use to turn herself into a statue. (And become impervious to damage) Then Toad, wearing the blue Koopa shell, would launch forward. This attack has high potential to be dangerous to both the user and opponents, because Toad would bounce off obstacles. (including Toadette) Now imagine getting trapped between a wall and a stone Toadette. Yo' butt gon' be hurtin'. However, when Toadette is in statue form, she can be picked up and carried away. (having the same properties as a heavy crate) (except not full of items) Toadette could not revert to a non-stone form unless Toad was back with her. Don't get too far away from her, or you'll risk seeing her get tossed off a cliff.

A friend of mine sent in this post. He said Zoroark could replace Lucario. I said "No, their moves are too different!" He said "Oh yeah?" and wrote this to prove me wrong. Enjoy!

Name: Zoroark

Universe: Pokemon

Game of origin: Pokemon Black and White

Zoroark is an “Illusion Fox” Pokemon, using illusions to trick his opponents.

Standard Special: Night Daze. Night Daze is Zoroark’s signature attack in the games. It would be a charge attack in the game(much like mewtwo’s shadow ball and Lucario’s Aura Sphere). EXCEPT, it will not be released in the form of a ball. It will be a short range blackish-purplish detonation of smoke, which would be more like Ike’s charged smash, than anything(except not as strong).

Side Special: Night Slash. Night slash is a dark type physical attack in the pokemon games. In the games, it is depicted as two slashes for the move. So, i figured, let’s have Zoroark do two slashes, but in a combination attack. You would press forward + smash, then follow up with The smash button one more time with good timing to perform the second slash. Much like Marth’s combination attack, just with two strikes. His arms would be covered in darkness when using this attack.

Down special: Nasty Plot. Now i know Nasty Plot is a status boosting pokemon move. But i figured, since Zoroark does not learn a counter attack, this could work if we tweek it a little. Zoroark would stand still with the question marks above his head, and when you strike him, the “illusion” zoroark would turn in to smoke as the real zoroark appears behind the character attacking, and uses Night Daze, except it has the strength of a fully charged Night Daze, without the charge. Nasty Plot raises Special Attack in the games. So, I figure it makes sense for the Night Daze to be powerful when released in this attack.

Maybe Sucker Punch would be a better choice for this move?

Up Special: Pursuit. I imagine this attack working maybe like Fox’s Up special. Zoroark wouldn’t charge his attack, it would be covered in a dark glow and move quickly in the direction you choose. I imagine this being quicker than fox’s attack as well.

I imagine his up,side,and normal attacks being the move Slash. His up attack will be him doing an arc over his head. His side attack will be a jab. His normal attack will be just basic slashing attacks. His claws will also be glowing with a silver sheen while he is attacking.

Bare with me here, what if they made a new character class in Smash Bros that acted as giants? I'm not talking about Giga Bowser size, but that's a good indicator that this idea isn't impossible. 

Basically, giant characters would be about twice the size of Mario. (They could still increase their size with Super Mushrooms) They would have their advantages and disadvantages, such as giants being immune to grab attacks, but they'd be fairly slow.
