This holds the answer. Well, not to the question, "What does he/they do?".

What do you think Mega Man's Final Smash will be? Maybe the Super Adapter, or Hyper Mega Man?

Okay, you got me curious Sakurai. Just what can Skull Kid do?

Aside of dropping the moon but that would be bit OP

Also, is this the first Assist Trophy we have seen?

With all of the MM references Nintendo has been dropping lately, it's a wonder why they don't just confirm Majora's Mask 3D already.

It'll be confirmed at the same time as the Pokemon Hoenn remakes.

[up][up] Because there is a 3DS Zelda game in stores right now, and they are not going to undercut it by announcing another one right away.

They sort of already have. They've said it's going to be at E3 this year.

At this point, I'm kinda convinced they want to remake every successful N64 and GCN title for this generation. They've already done Goldeneye, several Zelda games, Star Fox 64, Super Mario 64...

Two is not several, and the Super Mario 64 remake was last generation.

[up][up] Same. They've been doing a lot of remakes lately. Majora's Mask and Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire just seem right around the corner.

Shadow?

@Mega Man's Final Smash: It probably will be Super Adapter, but I think Black Hole Bomb could work too.

And YESZ. One-off characters like Skull Kid are cool... but not notable enough to be playable. Assist Trophy is perfect!

Maybe he shakes his butt and the camera focuses on him?

Hmmm...what's that island in the background of today's screenshot
beorc: Something from Pilotwings Resort, I assume. Perhaps just a really pulled-back shot of Wuhu?

It's Wedge Island, people. You know, where Golf and Frisbee Golf are played?

Oh, for Pokemon I'd like Mienshao or Hydreigon. Aegislash would be awesome, but I'm not sure how that would work.

How the hell would Hydreigon work? That'd be like making Dragonite or Salamance playable. That's just silly.

People actually played Pilotwings Resort beyond just playing around with a demo in a store? EDIT: Hell, we don't even have a page for it. Again, I express my shock.

[up]It was actually from Wii Sports Resort First (as in, Wedge Island). And I believe we covered Pilotwings Resort on the Pilotwings trope page.

Basing things on Sakurai's comments about wanting characters who bring something different to the table

Which we now know means nothing considering Toon Link is back and still a clone.

[up]I really hope so...

Takamaru, on the other hand, is another that seems like he has a number of capabilities that could easily set apart from others. The main issue is his obscurity. With these kinds of characters, it's really hard to predict simply because Sakurai could be interested, as shown by the fact that he's included no-name NES characters before, or the thought could never even cross his mind. The Nintendo Land minigame helps, but I dunno.

There is no way that Nintendo Land minigame did not mean something for his inclusion. Why would they make an obscure Japan-only NES game a minigame in a Casual Game? Either they did it to foreshadow his inclusion, or that he's getting a new game, and if he's getting a new game that'd probably put him in Smash 4 anyway.

King K. Rool...well, I don't know that there's anything in particular that would set him apart from other heavy villain characters like Bowser and King Dedede. That plus the fact that he hasn't shown up in a DK game for a long time makes me think that (unless he has a surprise appearance in Tropical Freeze or something) he's not very likely.

This way of thinking is saddens me.

@Mag:

On May 8, 2013, the Australian Classification Board posted a release for the game with it's localized title [The Mysterious Murasame Castle], suggesting that the game will finally see an international release.

[up][up]You mean like a virtual console release, right?

Oh, and pic of the day. Lloid Rocket, huh?

Lloid? I thought it was called a Gyroid?

EDIT: Okay, I just found out there is a Gyroid character names Lloid. Disregard.

Otherwise, I have difficulty seeing how they would fit all the abilities we've seen him use without any changes in the control scheme; we've seen what's pretty clearly his entire ground A-moveset, plus the fireworks, bowling ball, axe, tree planting, lloid rocket, balloon helmet, shovel, and grab. That's one too many to be covered by his smash and special movesets...

The axe is part of the tree move.

Clearly Little Mac's Final Smash should be spontaneously turning into Mike Tyson and biting off everyone's ears, licensing fees be damned.

This reminds me of that scene from Scary Movie 4...

According to Miiverse he is an Assist Trophy, not a character. I repeat, not a character - only those announced on the official site are characters.

Strange way to put it. Even if I'm paraphrasing.

Since he put so much emphasis on this not being a character when he didn't for Male Wii Fit Trainer, does that mean he's aware of how people wanted Skull Kid to be playable?
