I kinda liked to think the Morph Ball at the end was her scouting out his training facility to see just what kind of alien technology must make him so strong.
Or maybe they're cool and she's just hanging out with him and eating chocolate bars.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!@Anom: They changed around the SSB words in the Boxing Ring stage to Punch-Out words.
As for why it wasn't PU in the first place, who knows. Lots of possible reasons. But a lot think it wasn't revealed as a new skin till Little Mac was revealed so it wouldn't outright give away Little Mac's inclusion. The issue with that is we've seen courses without characters, so it seemed pointless to not having the words say Punch-Out from the start. Or maybe it became a PU stage later on in development. Who knows?
We might be able to use both skins as is for instance. Like Mushroomy Kingdom, to a degree.
Shadow?This is an ongoing discussion in the Metroid thread, actually, mostly because Game Explain ran a segment proving that yes, at least in the 2D games, it is possible for her to contort herself into that size because humans have done it before (based on scale of the ball versus her normal height in pixels), though Prime made it pretty explicit that she is converted into Plasma (despite what Science Team seems to think)
Uh, yes. Look at what I said more closely.
Anyway.
In-game relevance is not the same thing as being iconic. Also, by that logic Pikachu is irrelevant.

Bothersome work keeping me away from what's important... A Smash newcomer! >;/
Heh, he's sensitive about his height. Poor Samus. (more people should learn how to imbed Youtube!)
For a while I thought that his trainer was going to be talking through every fight. Which would be a nightmare to play with...
But that Cast from Hit Points gimmick? Cool...I just hope it's not too strong.
You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stay<_<

...When Little Mac joins the battle, Alfonzo takes over as the Assist Trophy!
Alfonzo: "Leave it to me-" *BOOM*
I have a message from another time...I'm pretty sure Pokemon is a bit more recognized by Nintento than Captain N, actually.
If you think the Bald Bull page on wikipedia is a stub, I really want to know what wiki you're reading. And since when "whose Wikipedia page is the longest" the litmus for who's most important to the series? I could point out that the Punch Out wiki has more to say about Bald Bull than it does about King Hippo, but how is that any more relevant either?
King Hippo is one of the most iconic enemies in the series, but I would still say Bald Bull is a bit moreso - simply by way of being an "always there" kind of character.

@Known Unknown: I think she's rolling around because she's on a sugar high. Space-age chocolate isn't as sugary as Doc Louis's.
Also, since you asked, the Morph Ball is stated to be a meter in diameter, which taller, less flexible people are capable of curling into. Samus should have no issue.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!What are you talking about? Of course he's flat.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyThat seems to be a running theme with 80's-early 90's action cartoons. The villains always have the most personality, which makes you want to root for them instead of the designated heroes.
On that note, King Hippo in Captain N probably has the least design changes out of anyone to appear on that show besides maybe Eggplant Wizard. They just made him blue.

pearlina brainrot affects millions of people worldwide. if you or a loved one are suffering from pearlina brainrot, call 1-800-GAY-NERDSAlso, apparently the idea of a sugar high is just a myth
, but eh.

^^^^ Bald Bull has his own page,
actually.
As Irene mentioned, King Hippo probably has trace popularity from appearing in that one show back in the day - which would also explain the wikipedia disparity - but that doesn't make him any more relevant to the series (especially since Captain N seemed to have a tendency randomly pick characters from games and then just do whatever the hell they could think of to them).
