I pretty much go chronological, too. Wii U and 3DS are my favorites, then Brawl, then Melee, then 64.
Do any 3DS players have a Smash Run enemy(ies) they just can't stand seeing? Aside from Ornes (which along with their usual properties are a source of Nightmare Fuel for me), I get irritated whenever a Plasma Wisp appears because of their obnoxious cheap shots. (The big barrier that they toss at you.) I also dislike Reapers...though it's less the Reapers themselves and more the Reapettes they summon that make getting to them difficult.
"I'm glad I don't wear shoes or else I'd have to always get shoes in two different sizes. ...If you know, you know!"Clubberskulls were relatively cake in Uprising; they're far more susceptible to projectile attacks, and unlike their Forces of Nature counterpart, they tend to just waste their time with actual attack animations while you continue to set up camp on them. The only real problem was their health.
Of course, then Skarairu went and tripled their size while maintaining everything else. In a genre far less forgiving with enemies like those, no less.

You'll notice that some don't have the same rival as the character who is rival to them, and I've also fleshed out rivalries in case you don't have the character yet.

Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!I know I just thought I'd remind of that quirk
Though I think Clubberskulls can still hit Greninja while he's bouncing so they're probably the most annoying enemies in the game, doesn't help that they take absolutely forever to die.
Wouldn't Peach be able to cheese some of the Smash Run enemies by floating as well?
Annoying Smash Run enemies? Hmm... Darknuts and those stupid demon flower things that spit bombs out of their evil heads. I can't remember what they're called.
Call me butter, because I am on a roll! 3ds friend code: 5258-0885-3903 Wii U: Bowser CharizardAs for mine;
- 64
- 3DS
- Melee
- Wii U
- Brawl
Each roster felt amazing, mind you, but I preferred the gameplay overall in that order. Wii U just generally has so much lack of basic stuff like a normalesque Classic Mode, an Adventure Mode, and is generally more frustrating for me to play, which is what gets it lower than Melee. I admit, Brawl does inch close to be preferred over Wii U though. But that's due to a roster and stage list I like a bit more, and better mode choices, imo.
64 was just an amazing game in its own right, with 3DS close behind. Both are pretty well designed overall and quite fun. Melee comes in third for mostly feeling a little outdated in some ways, and far less balance than 3DS. It's still great in many other ways, though.
Shadow?@powerpuffbats: She is a complete dork, actually. Just not in battle.
Anyway, my take on RIVALS.
Mario - Bowser (Canon rivalry)
Luigi - Diddy Kong (Second bananas)
Peach - Zelda (Princesses)
Yoshi - Charizard (Dragons?)
Rosalina - Olimar (Partner fighters)
Bowser Jr. - Dr. Mario (Mario vs. Bowser... again?)
Wario - King Dedede (Greedy gluttons)
Donkey Kong - Little Mac (Boxing rematch)
Mr. Game & Watch - R.O.B. (Old machines)
Link - Ganondorf (Canon rivalry)
Sheik - Greninja (Ninjas)
Toon Link - Ness (Kid heroes)
Samus - Captain Falcon (Bounty hunters)
Zero Suit Samus - Wii Fit Trainer (Athleticism)
Pit - Dark Pit (Two sides of the same Pit)
Marth - Meta Knight (Legendary swordsmen)
Ike - Palutena (God-slayer vs. Goddess)
Robin - Lucario (Mixed-range warriors)
Duck Hunt - Villager (Oddball games)
Kirby - Pac-Man (Hungry spheres)
Fox - Falco (Fighting wingmates)
Pikachu - Jigglypuff (Gen I represent)
Shulk - Lucina (Changers of the future)
Mega Man - Sonic (Blue third parties)
...
Mii Fighter - Random Button (They of many faces)

Those are Daphnes. I dislike those, too. Somehow, I always seem to hit both of their mines.
Playing Smash Run with a character who has fire based attacks (like Charizard, Robin, and Ike) makes those #@!@*% polar bears really easy to deal with. It also alleviates much of the difficulty of "Survive!-Hard", as well. note
Skuttler Mages are a pain to deal with at times, since the instant you get close to them the use that stat-reducing melee attack they have that's nigh impossible to escape. A let's not even get into Mimicuties...
I have managed to defeat a few Clubberskulls with some characters equipped with "Brief Invincibility" and some Hammers.

"I'm glad I don't wear shoes or else I'd have to always get shoes in two different sizes. ...If you know, you know!"I relish fighting Clubberskulls. It's probably because my pure Attack Ganondorf can kill'em in a few seconds with some help from Spinning Blades.
Call me butter, because I am on a roll! 3ds friend code: 5258-0885-3903 Wii U: Bowser CharizardOh god, Reapers. I know they're worse in Uprising 'cause you can't kill them, but they still annoy me to no end. It might be because of the music cue though.

we will survive.Here's my take on the rivals:
Mario—Dr. Mario (multiple personalities)
Luigi—Wario (derivatives of Mario)
Peach—Bowser (Distressed Damsel vs. the Big Bad)
Donkey Kong—Yoshi (major Mario spin-off characters)
Bowser Jr.—Diddy Kong (young animals)
Link—Marth (two of the most prominent swordsmen)
Toon Link—Meta Knight (lightweight swordsmen)
Zelda—Sheik (again, multiple personalities)
Ganondorf—Robin (slow magicians)
Lucina—Ike (the other swordsmen)
Samus—Zero Suit Samus (with or without the suit?)
Fox—Falco (who has the better LAAAIIINNNDDDMAAASSSSTTTUUURRRRR!!!?)
Pit—Dark Pit (Light vs. Dark)
Rosalina & Luma—Palutena (both royalty and goddesses)
Kirby—King Dedede (which is the Bigger Eater?)
Little Mac—Wii Fit Trainer (athletes)
Sonic—Captain Falcon (3fast5u)
Mr. Game & Watch—R.O.B. (the standard retro characters)
Pikachu—Jigglypuff (the cute Pokemon)
Charizard—Mewtwo (the Gen I badasses)
Lucario—Greninja (the modern badasses)
Villager—Ness (two of the younger fighters)
Duck Hunt—Mii Gunner (characters that rely heavily on projectiles)
Olimar—Shulk (two characters from modern Nintendo series)
Mega Man—Pac-Man (the third-party characters not named Sonic)
Mii Swordfighter—Mii Brawler (swords vs. fists)
On a side note, why was Bowser Jr. (and the Koopalings, for that matter) given his voice from the games instead of realistic monster sounds?

Call me Willy Whistle 'cause I can't speak, baby. Something in TV Tropes really drove me crazy.

The other Robin came from the future.
