A boy with Asperger's named Matt Jones struggles with everyday life, with his only friends: his Nintendo toys which he plays with. As the young boy grows up, so does the pain that is inside him: Master Core. Takes place from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros64'' to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosforNintendo3DSandWiiU''.

!!This story contains the following tropes:
*{{Abusive Parents}}: While Matt's mother, Maria, tries to be understanding of her son, his father, Johnathan, sees him as more of a problem to solve than his own child. [[spoiler:He destroys Pichu and tosses Mewtwo and Dr. Mario out the window as punishment for Matt after he was suspended from school over a fight, and eventually leaves the family when Matt starts 11th grade. He realize his mistakes years later and apologizes to Matt for his actions.]]
*{{Ambiguous Disorder}}: Played with. It is clear that Matt has autism, but isn't stated in the story, and was in fact misdiagnosed as having ADHD. It isn't until chapter 6 that he is properly diagnosed as having Asperger's.
*{{Art Evolution}}: The first eight chapters are not something to write home about, but come chapter 9, and it is clear that the author has improved.
*{{Big Bad}}: Master Core, as it's taking over Matt as he goes through difficulties in his life.
*{{Birthday Episode}}: Chapter 12.
*{{The Bully}}: Two, Skipper and Nick. It isn't until chapter 7 when Matt taught them a lesson that they finally leave him alone.
*{{Character Death}}: How many of the cut characters were cut. [[spoiler:Roy was accidentally smashed by Principal Taylor (he gets better as a new toy), Pichu was destroyed during Johnathan's rage, and the cut characters in Smash 4 sans Lucas were destroyed during Logan's robbery.]]
*{{Disappeared Dad}}: Zoey's father is killed in a car crash.
**[[spoiler:Matt's father, Johnathan, later in the story.]]
*{{Driven to Suicide}}: [[spoiler:Due to years of emotional buildup over his diagnosis, the difficulties he went through in his life because of his Asperger's, and Johnathan's {{Wham Line}}, Matt eventually slits his wrists to kill himself. He survives thanks to his toys defeating Master Core and Zoey's timely intervention.]]
*{{Earn Your Happy Ending}}: [[spoiler:After surviving his suicide attempt, Matt finally accepts his Asperger's, along with his friends, and eventually marries Zoey and they have a little girl named Amanda, who shares Matt's Asperger's and love for anything Nintendo.]]
*{{False Friend}}: Downplayed, as [[spoiler:Logan]] isn't really evil; he is just trying to get away from his abusive home and save his sister. Alas, [[spoiler:he has betrayed Matt and took Snake, Pokemon Trainer and his Pokemon minus Charizard, Ice Climbers, and Wolf so he could sell them off after his failed robbery.]]
*{{Last Episode New Character}}: [[spoiler:Amanda, Matt and Zoey's daughter, appears in the final chapter.]]
*{{Living Toys}}: Downplayed, as Matt's toys are only alive to him.
*{{Running Gag}}: Smash R' Us, the obvious parody of Toys R' Us, is referenced multiple times in the fanfic.
*{{Wham Line}}: "Why don't you act normal for once?!"
