SSB Racing would be lovely. I wouldn't care if it was essentially a Mario Kart clone. It would allow practically all the characters possible, whether they were playable or not. I'd reduce it to mostly Poke Balls, playables, NPC's(Assist Trophies and Bosses), and then some random ones that look like a good choice. Can you imagine Master Hand in a kart? Oh, wait, he's driving it with one hand. He'd have terribly handling with high speed and the ultimate heavy weight(this makes it hard to knock him over outside of items).
So much potential for side games~

Nah. There's too many Mario characters and the worlds it connects with. They already have a nice big cast to go off from.
An SSB Racing game wouldn't even use half of the Mario/Donkey Kong/Wario/Yoshi characters as is.
This. Mario's various non-platformers work due to its giant roster choices. It's good enough already. Not like Mario Kart didn't get a clone in Diddy Kong Racing. Which lasted "two" games(original and remake). It didn't have the roster choices like SSB and Mario would have. That, and an SSB Racing game has more item choices as well, plus, it would easily star the entire SSB ensemble from all 4 games already. Or at least could start off with the first 12 and maybe Master Hand(Giant DK, Metal Mario, and Polygons could be unlockable).

Shadow?StreetPass Mii Plaza has brought an alternate costume-related realization to me.
So, Kirby! I previously said I'd make it Mike Kirby, since the headphones wouldn't clip with as many hats as other ideas would.
Anyways, today one of the hats I could exhange for was an "Epic Kirby Hat". Out of curiousity, I bought it to see what Yarn!Kirby looked like in 3D. To my surprise, I saw that my entire body was made out of yarn the hat was more of a crochet Kirby (as opposed to a yarn outline). So I guess Epic Kirby could work as a costume after all, is what I'm saying.
You do know that "Smash Kart" would be more along the lines of "Nintendo Kart", right?
I mean, Smash is basically "Nintendo Fighting Game", so a kart racer along the same lines could use as many Nintendo properties as it really wanted.
Which includes everything in the Mario serieseses.
I have a message from another time...I'm at least hoping Captain Falcon is made a full character in MK 8, to make up for said game aping one of F-Zero's schticks.
I sure said that!![]()

I'd say anything classified as a Weak Enemy wouldn't be a good choice for playable. Koopa Troopas, Hammer Bros., or any non-boss. Primid would be an exception since they're the de facto SSE Enemy, like, the main and most notable one.
I'd be a bit more picky than Mario Kart's roster is. Bosses, sure. I mean, Petey is a good choice, so is Waluigi, but since ones like Mario, Zelda, Kirby, and Pokemon already have very notable characters besides just a lot of the Monsters, reducing the choices to those would make the roster not super bloated. I mean, I'd like to try and keep it about 4 minimum per franchise while making sure every playable SSB character gets an overall appearance among it, assuming multiple games. If only 1, at least 2 per franchise if entirely possible.(R.O.B. and Game & Watch could just have one realistically)
Shadow?Luigi was also revealed on a game date, but he was specifically connected with another game(Dream Team). Despite some revealed on a game date, it's not always the case. It's more some game they're connected to via the SSB website, no matter the date revealed. Like Marth got. There's guesses to what game they'll be connected to, but not exactly when they'll be revealed. For instance, Ice Climbers will probably be connected to NES Remix since it's their latest appearance. And two characters can be connected to the same game regardless.(like Peach and Rosalina & Luma are connected to 3D World)
Shadow?To ruin the joke I could've made, I guess, it's vibes she uses to control her emotions/powers, not a vibrator. But I suppose it's easy to get those mixed up, considering one is an incorporeal thing and the other is a sex toy.
...anyway, to change the subject, The Great Clement just posted up a video reviewing Sonic as he appeared in Brawl. Haven't watched it yet, but I assume he'll probably mention something about the upcoming game, but who knows?

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=97630169&postcount=9607
I post this here less because I want us all declaring rumors as bullcrap and more because this "leak" brought to light an interesting idea I have never heard before- a Hanafuda-based character.
Well? Thoughts on that idea?
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaThat's probably how it'd work.
I should probably read up on Hanafuda at some point... ^_^;

I would like it if Smash branched off into a general Nintendo crossover franchise. Smash Brothers is the fighting game, this other game could be an RPG or something, etc. We should have separate teams work on them though so they don't delay Smash 5 of course.
