History WMG / SuperSmashBrosMiscPart1

*** We probably don't. It's all speculation and implication. Regardless, I'll add more to the list. If Disney AND Warner Brothers are implicated, then Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit brings in ''nearly every well-known classic cartoon ever made'', save for Hanna-Barbera. Backtracking to the source, ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Conker's Bad Fur Day'' are brought in via Rare's former work on Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong Country. And according to TheOtherWiki, ''Sabrina the Teenage Witch'' had a crossover with Sonic in the Archie Comics. I couldn't find any links to Nickelodeon, Bandai (Pokemon vs. Digimon, anyone?), or anything extremely popular that hasn't been mentioned yet.

[[WMG: Tabuu is the embodiment of the {{Xbox 360}}.]]

*** Nickelodeon can also be connected because of WesternAnimation/AdventureTime, WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents, and WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum, because the same company (Fredorator Studios) made them. (And WesternAnimation/AdventureTime is on Creator/CartoonNetwork, thus the connection!) Also, the entry up there about Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit, forgot that Creator/HannaBarbera is owned by WarnerBrothers, so they're in the connection too. (WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw with his El Kabong persona would be a good idea for a new character) NewspaperComic characters would also be in the connection because of {{Garfield}}, as mentioned above, who references {{Peanuts}}, which is referenced by pretty much every other comic strip in existence, and there you have it, Nickelodeon, Creator/HannaBarbera, and comic strips are now in the connection.

*** Going by the Disney/Warner Bros. route, we have CartoonAllstarstotheRescue (although this is dubious at best), which brings (not counting the well-known characters mentioned above) {{Garfield}}, TheSmurfs, the 1987 ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'' (and, by TMNT Forever, the 2003 series and the original comics), MuppetBabies, Series/{{ALF}}, WesternAnimation/AlvinandtheChipmunks and WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters into the mix. Going by the company logic, Nickelodeon is brought in by [=TMNT's=] presence as present owner. And if we stretch it, Literature/HarryPotter is brought in by the film series being produced by WB. Any bets that we'll run into something like TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} sooner or later if we keep finding links?

* Solid Snake appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. He previously appeared in another MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover FightingGame, ''DreamMixTVWorldFighters'', which, among others, featured Optimus Prime and Megatron of ''{{Transformers}}'', who were featured in their own Marvel comic book, where they met Spider-Man and Marvel-owned characters like Circuit Breaker. Marvel, of course, has had crossovers with DC (and thus bringing in ''MortalKombat'' and a bunch of others), ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and more. It also means that, by way of ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' and others, almost all Capcom characters are brought in, as well as ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' (itself a crossover!) and numerous Tatsunoku anime characters. Capcom also had the crossover with many [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Namco]] games in ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', which included characters from VideoGame/SoulCalibur so we can also bring in the GuestFighter from VideoGame/GodOfWar, Franchise/StarWars, and Creator/ImageComics. The two main leads of Namco x Capcom originally appeared in VideoGame/SuperRobotWars, opening the door to just about every mecha anime ever made. Image, of course, had the reputation for the horrific ''ComicBook/{{Deathmate}}'' crossover, which drags Creator/ValiantComics (the only name most people will recognize from there is ''ComicBook/{{Turok}}''). Also, since we have established Marvel and DC are part of this mess, we can bring in their parent companies Disney and Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers brings with it Creator/CartoonNetwork originals and Disney brings Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon and KingdomHearts. Naturally, Kingdom Hearts brings along Final Fantasy as well. If you wanted to go even further, you could connect this universe to the [[http://www.pjfarmer.com/woldnewton/Pulp.htm Expanded Wold Newton Universe]]. So, in short, SSB is the lynchpin of one of the biggest crossovers by implication ever.

* Let me drive this even further. Mario and Kirby were the two first characters, which makes sense since these seemed to be some of the most popular characters around. Zelda and Peach are equally powerful due to their series's popularity. Peach getting captured by Wario (this way makes more sense) signifies Wario getting more popular than Mario, and is also why Mario seems helpless a lot of the time later on. Yoshi was a new series and slowly gaining popularity, which might be why he's shown waking up the first time you see him. Kirby has about the same amount of strength the whole way through. Dedede is revealed pretty early on, which makes sense since he was the first final boss of the Kirby series. And as even MORE "proof", Olimar is quite weak and scared when he first arrives, because at that point in the Nintendo timeline he was a new character. Captain Falcon, on the other hand, was part of a popular racing game series, which is why he's so powerful, plus his Falcon Punch made him permanently famous. Especially with the Metroid Prime area, since about that point, new F-Zero games started getting released on newer consoles. And if you thought that was impressive, Sonic appearing near the end (and quite powerful at that point as well) symbolises that he could survive in Subspace as mentioned earlier, and also that Nintendo expects the newer sonic games to be alot better. I am good at this.

[[WMG: Lucas is a time traveler in this game.]]
Lucas is supposed to be born after Ness, but they both appear with the same physical age. Since Ness looks the same in both SSB and SSBB, Lucas be the time traveler. He cares about Ness because maybe he knows he's related to Ness in some way. Maybe Porky took Lucas with himself to Ness's time to eliminate him when his friends aren't around, so he would be helpless, but Ness interrupted and kicked his ass.
Alternately, none of the characters in SSBB are the actual heroes from their universes but are copies made to fight each other in epic battles.
* That or Smash Bros. is an AU where Link, Fox, Pikachu, Ness, Lucas, etc. just so happen to coexist.
** Main/WordOfGod says this.
* I was once told that the original ending for Mother 3 would involve Ness time-traveling after Porky and battling with him before being forced to kill him, rather than the whole Absolutely Safe Machine business. When I heard, I just immediately figured, "Huh. That's where they got that scene from Brawl." Thus NESS is the time-traveler here. Not Lucas.
** But that's not solid evidence that Ness is the time-traveler. "That's where they got that scene from" is still just your speculation and nothing to go by. The scene in Brawl, if indeed Ness was supposed to go after Porky, could have just been a recycling of [[WhatCouldHaveBeen what could've been]] but was not.
* Who said that Lucas was born after Ness? It's possible that Porky went ''back'' in time to screw with the Nowhere Islands. After all, after Lucas [[spoiler: pulled the Last Needle and woke the Dragon]], he could've [[spoiler: created a whole new world]], where Mother 1 and 2 took place. As far as I know, no limit was ever placed on Porky's time traveling.
* Why would Porky take Lucas back to ''Ness''' time to render him ''helpless''? If the point of taking Lucas away from his friends was to make him easier to kill without the support of Kumatora, Duster, and Boney, why would Porky take him to a time where he could ''possibly'' get the aid of Ness and co., even if it was unlikely that any of them would be in the area?
* What does Ness having been in SSB and SSBM have anything to do with this? There are too many in-game inconsistencies for Lucas to be the original from Mother 3. He's still faint-hearted and timid (age 9 at the least), while in Mother 3, he learns PSI when he's already grown a spine (age 12 at most). And if the player decided to destroy the King P statue before confronting Porky, what's it doing in Brawl? If Porky pulled Lucas away before he managed to reach New Pork City, therefore preventing the statue paradox, when did Kumatora find the time to teach him all her PSI moves, including Starstorm?
* Ah, people, EVERYONE time travels in SSB. How else would Link and Toon Link fight each other?

[[WMG: Lucas is a time traveler in this game/]]
Big endividience: Lucas is supposed to be born a while after Ness, but they both appear in this game, and with the same physical age. And since Ness was already in SSB like he is now, it must be Lucas, who has been "ripped out of his time".
Also, the reason he seems to care so much about Ness is that he actually knows that he's related to him in some way, maybe his grandfather or something. (You are not usually THAT sad about a random boy you never met before, being turned to stone, even if he saved your life.)
Maybe Porkey took Lucas with himself to Ness's time to eliminate him when his friends aren't around, so he would be helpless, but Ness interrupted and kicked his old Wannabe-Pal's ass.
An alternate (and somehow even more provable) theory is, that none of the characters in SSBB is the actual hero from their universes, but just copies that were made for the one reason of fighting each other in epic battles. (And if this one was already proven by TheWordOfGod, please don't rip my head off).
* That or Smash Bros. is an AU where Link, Fox, Pikachu, Ness, Lucas, etc. just so happen to coexist...

*** Also Lucas cares so much about Ness because Ness is the "Legendary Hero" to people in Lucas' time. Basically, kind of a big deal.
*** No one knows who Ness is in Lucas's time. At the most, they see him as a fictional character.
*** A fictional character that ''just saved his life.''

** But that's not solid evidence that Ness is the time-traveler. Your figuring, "That's where they got that scene from" is still just your speculation and nothing to go by. The scene in Brawl, if indeed Ness was supposed to go after Porky, could have just been a recycling of [[WhatCouldHaveBeen what could've been]] but was not.
* Who said that Lucas was born after Ness? It's possible that Porky went ''back'' in time to screw with the Nowhere Islands. After all, after Lucas [[spoiler: pulled the Last Needle and woke the Dragon]], he could've [[spoiler: created a whole new world]], where Mother 1 and 2 took place. As far as I know, no limit was ever placed on Porky's time traveling. Also, Lucas felt bad about Ness because he did nothing to save him from Wario after Ness saved him from the King P statue. He was just feeling guilty, and determined to return the favor.
* Why would Porky take Lucas back to ''Ness's'' time to render him ''helpless''? If the point of taking Lucas away from his friends was to make him easier to kill without the support of Kumatora, Duster, and Boney (“helpless”, in that sense), why would Porky take him to a time where he could ''possibly'' get the aid of Ness and co., even if it was unlikely that any of them would be in the area? Not to mention that Lucas is not truly ''helpless'' helpless. He could still use PSI.
* …That makes Porky the time traveler, not Lucas. And what does Ness having been in SSB and SSBM have anything to do with this? In any case, the problem is that there are too many in-game inconsistencies for Lucas to be the original from Mother 3. Like the fact that he's still faint-hearted and timid (age 9 at the very least), while in Mother 3, he learns PSI when he's already grown a spine (age 12 at most). And if the player decided to destroy the King P statue before confronting Porky, what's it doing in Brawl? If Porky pulled Lucas away before he managed to reach New Pork City, therefore preventing the statue paradox, when did Kumatora find the time to teach him all her PSI moves, including Starstorm? Someone should make a WMG solving all this… Then again, it's already canon that everyone's a trophy (right?), and there would be a ton of trouble explaining the presence of the other Smashers…

* Super Smash Bros. vs. Capcom.
* This troper feels Smash Bros. VS [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia]] is more likely, given how many people from Square helped out on Brawl.
** Or by extension, Smash Bros. vs Creator/SquareEnix, containing characters from Franchise/FinalFantasy, DragonQuest, VideoGame/ChronoTrigger, KingdomHearts, VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}, etc.

* (Not the op) I was thinking something more like just adding characters that were once on a Nintendo system. This way they can still keep the Nintendo theme, but have more characters. For example: [[KingdomHearts Sora]], [[{{ResidentEvil4}} Leon]], [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Laharl]], and PhoenixWright could all qualify. Hypothetically, of course.

Also, the entry up there about Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit, forgot that Creator/HannaBarbera is owned by WarnerBrothers, so they're in the connection too.

Any bets that we'll run into something like TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} sooner or later if we keep finding links?

*** Sonic now being in the new Lego game connects a large number of other series, including Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, DC Comics, Midway Arcade, Ninjago, Portal, Scooby-Doo, The Simpsons, The Wizard of Oz, 2001: A Space Odyssee, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, The A-Team, Adventure Time, Beetlejuice, E.T. the Extraterrestrial, The Goonies, Gremlins, Knight Rider, Mission: Impossible, The Powerpuff Girls, and potentially more.
*** Crossing over with DC Comics of course brings in Marvel almost by default, given how often they've crossed over. In addition to that, Portal takes place in the same universe as Half-Life and Team Fortress, The Simpsons has crossed over with Family Guy and Futurama, and had a couch gag involving Rick and Morty.

*** Reinforcing this connection to Earth is Little Mac, an assist trophy in Brawl who went up against Mike Tyson in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! Now, because Harry Potter takes place in the 'real' world and is merely hidden from it, we can conclude that real-life people such as Mike Tyson and Sgt. Slaughter exist there, making another connection to it. To fully solidify the connection, JK Rowling once wrote an actual person, a fan named Natalie [=McDonald=], into the books in Goblet of Fire, fully connecting HP to the real world, and thus Mike Tyson, Little Mac and Brawl.
*** Because The Doctor lived in the Harry Potter world for a while under the alias Barty Crouch Jr, Doctor Who is connected to it as well.

** Obviously, this means that Tabuu has enacted his subspace plan before (specifically, in 1983). That time, he succeeded in destroying the world. The only survivors of the previous subspace cataclysm were the Pac-family, Frogger, and Pitfall Harry (quick, name a pre-1983 video game character besides those). Pitfall Harry and Frogger both passed on during the PS1 era due to their horrible revival games, but the Pacs are still out there... somewhere.

* How is having no limit of what you can do a bad thing? Just look at LittleBigPlanet.
** Even LittleBigPlanet has its limits. You only get to make platformer type levels, and all your creations must be 3 layers or less. and you have to use the textures that they give you.
*** LittleBigPlanet 2 blows a few of those out the window, though.

* Then who's [[NoMoreHeroes Jeane?]]

[[WMG: Master Hand and Crazy Hand are [[Main/StarControl Them.]]]]

** Or by extension, Smash Bros. vs SquareEnix, containing characters from Franchise/FinalFantasy, DragonQuest, VideoGame/ChronoTrigger, KingdomHearts, VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}, etc.

** Possibly jossed, if this [[http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/06/super_smash_bros_will_have_the_same_character_roster_on_both_wii_u_and_3ds article]] is correct. Sakurai wants the "roster experience" to be the same for both versions, so platform-exclusive characters, unlockable or not, are, at best, unlikely. Then again, they could do what Namco did with [[SoulSeries Soulcalibur IV]] and have characters exclusive to one version be DLC for the other.

* Solid Snake appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. He previously appeared in another MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover FightingGame, ''DreamMixTVWorldFighters'', which, among others, featured Optimus Prime and Megatron of ''{{Transformers}}'', who were featured in their own Marvel comic book, where they met Spider-Man and Marvel-owned characters like Circuit Breaker. Marvel, of course, has had crossovers with DC (and thus bringing in ''MortalKombat'' and a bunch of others), ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and more. It also means that, by way of ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' and others, almost all Capcom characters are brought in, as well as ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' (itself a crossover!) and numerous Tatsunoku anime characters. Capcom also had the crossover with many {{Namco}} games in ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', which included characters from SoulCalibur so we can also bring in the GuestFighter from VideoGame/GodOfWar, StarWars, and ImageComics. The two main leads of Namco x Capcom originally appeared in VideoGame/SuperRobotWars, opening the door to just about every mecha anime ever made. Image, of course, had the reputation for the horrific ''ComicBook/{{Deathmate}}'' crossover, which drags Creator/ValiantComics (the only name most people will recognize from there is ''ComicBook/{{Turok}}''). Also, since we have established Marvel and DC are part of this mess, we can bring in their parent companies Disney and Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers brings with it Creator/CartoonNetwork originals and Disney brings Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon and KingdomHearts. Naturally, Kingdom Hearts brings along Final Fantasy as well. If you wanted to go even further, you could connect this universe to the [[http://www.pjfarmer.com/woldnewton/Pulp.htm Expanded Wold Newton Universe]]. So, in short, SSB is the lynchpin of one of the biggest crossovers by implication ever.

**** If you like that, you'll love this: Fighter Roar appears in ''Super Robot Wars: Original Generations''. He first appeared in another Banpresto, a game called ''The Great Battle IV'', which featured Series/{{Ultraman}} and Franchise/KamenRider characters, which brings in those franchises. ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' crossed over with ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'', which brings in ''Super Sentai''! And, if you fudge it a bit, you can also slide in ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', due to a crossover between ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'' and ''The Next Mutation''. It's also not mentioned above, but, naturally, thanks to ''Brawl'', ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' and pals are also included, and any crossovers they may have had. And don't forget ''AnotherCenturysEpisode'', ''Dengeki Gakuen RPG: Cross of Venus'', ''ShinMazinger'', and ''[[Magazine/ShonenJump Jump Super Stars]]''! YEAH GUYS [[{{Fanwank}} THIS SHIT]] JUST GOT REAL.

** Or [[HilariousInHindsight perhaps]] it's the Nintendo version of [[spoiler:Film/TheLegoMovie]].
