Official Paper Mario for Smash 4 Thread

[Nysic]

Not that I really want PM in anyway, Smash 4 has enough Mario characters.

Imo, Mario deserves 7 reps this installment and the go-to characters for those 6th and 7th slots are Daisy and Bowser Jr because they are the only characters left who aren't generic, or pointless alternate versions of other charatcters.

Paper Mario isn't even in the top 10 most deserving Mario/subseries Characters, they are in no specific order:

Daisy
Bowser Jr
Toad
Koopa Kid
Waluigi
Birdo
King K Rool
Dixie Kong
Kiddy Kong
Cranky Kong

The last 4 are DK reps, not Mario. And of those 6 you mentioned, Daisy, Waluigi, and Birdo have only been in spin-offs, and Koopa Kid has only been in a few Mario Party games as a supporting character, and Bowser Jr. is a bit of a stretch. Toad is an okay suggestion but still has less a chance than Paper Mario.

I wonder if 3D player's head will explode if Paper Mario manages to get in.

Paper Mario would be a clone of Mario, so I don't want him in SSB4.

Actually, not at all.

Paper Mario could use his hammer, partners, pixls, crystal star powers, stickers, etc.

He could have his own moveset, but if Paper Mario was playable, Nintendo would probably just go the easy route and make him a clone.

Do not support. The Mario RPG's don't deserve anything. Be happy that you were lucky enough to get a stage. I'm already somewhat upset enough how the Mario RPGs got representation before Mario Party did. Making Paper Mario playable would be like giving Mario Party fans like me the middle finger.

You really anger me but WHAT is there to represent from the Mario Party series? A board made into a stage? Trophies of things in the games? At least be happy Brawl had stickers for MP and the worst MP host for a trophy (His name does not start with a T)

Maybe even throw in a few themes from the Mario Party series but you probably won't get a character. Koopa Kid hasn't been seen since MP7 (not including cameos) and most of the characters in the game originated from other Mario series.

The Paper Mario series has a better chance as it is quite popular with the first 2 successful games, a great game and a game. Characters with attacking abilities, a boat load of items, tons of locations, and back stories behind characters. Besides the RPG series as a whole has done pretty well. I didn't care for Superstar Saga, Sticker Star, or SMRPG but the rest are quite amazing.

And your Top 10 Deserving Mario characters is your pick not a community as a whole and 4 on the list aren't even Mario characters.

But other than that I support Paper Mario for smash even if they just make him a a palette swap/costume for Mario.

Technically Daisy was in Super Mario Land, so that makes her spin-off-exclusive-except-for-that-one-Game Boy-game-nobody-cares-about.

Paper Mario hasn't been in any main series games at all though.

But Super Mario Land is so old that it doesn't really matter now.

I do believe the Stage reveal not too long ago does raise his chances even if it's tiny. Most of the new stages were related to newcomers in the game.

Examples:
Boxing Ring (Both Versions) - Little Mac
Arena Ferox (3DS) - Robin and Lucina
Prism Tower (3DS) & Kalos Pokemon League (Wii U) - Greninja
Tortimer Island (3DS) and Town & City (Wii U) - Villager
Palutena's Temple (Wii U) - Palutena
Wii Fit Studio (Wii U) - Wii Fit Trainer
Tomodachi Life Stage, Streetpass Quest Stage, Pilotwings (With Wuhu Island) as well as arguably any of the Smash Bros. stages since they're the Multi-Man Team of Smash 4 - Mii Fighters
Mario Galaxy - Rosalina
Wily's Castle (Both Versions) - Mega Man
Pac-Maze & Pac-Land - Pac-Man

The only exceptions being the Nintendog Stage (Because no way would Nintendo let a somewhat realistic puppy be a playable character. That's just asking for Animal Rights activists to yell at you) and the Balloon Fight stage (Villager kinda takes what would be the Balloon Fighter's gimmick with his recovery. He even temporarily gains the helmet). But that's two out of a total of 2 out of 42 stages, of which the other 40 are related to some character or franchise whether they're newcomers or veterans.

So what if she appears in a lot of spin-offs? Waluigi appears in a lot of spin-offs, but he's not playable.
