Unpopular opinions about the Super Smash Bros series.

The Waluigi for Smash meme is worse than Arrow To a Knee

Why is that? I never thought it was that bad, despite the outburst at one time when Waluigi was shown as an Assist Trophy (again).

C'mon, Mario Party 9 minigame compilations are the most viewed Mario-related videos on Youtube. SO. That means Mario Party should be repped to death in Smash. I want a Mario Party stage goddammit. Smash Tour is NOT what I wanted.

The funny thing about the Mario Party 9 video is, if I remember the author's comments correctly, the author of the video used the Youtube splice function to put the individual Mario Party minigame videos into one long video, and that inflated the view count. Because of its unusually high view count, the video ended up maintaining momentum due to this, and it's unlikely to be rivaled as the most viewed Mario video anytime soon.

Thank you for reading.

The thing is, Mario is the most popular Nintendo franchise. It's normal for it to get that many reps.

Whereas, some series are underrepresented, like Zelda (outside of the amount of Links), Kirby and Donkey Kong, and then you have Fire Emblem with 7 reps. Not that I mind it, mind you, but that is why people complain about that.

But Pokemon actually has the most playable reps, if we count Squirtle, Ivysaur and Zard individually. And the series is even more represented with all the Pokeball Pokemon.

That's because Mario is Nintendo's #1 series so it follows for it have a lot. The FE series is now on the level of Pokemon (if you count PKMN Trainer as one character instead of three) even though it's nowhere near as important as Pokemon. It also has more than Zelda despite that series being more important as well. Therefore, it's understandable that they'd complain about FE but not Mario. I don't mind it too much myself, though.

Well, this is embarrassing...in a Mario forum.

I feel that the Zelda series needs more reps.

I think Mario Party deserves more representation in Smash. That series is popular, and for that amount of popularity, it never got a stage, character representation and its choice of music tracks is severely lacking. I guess Mario Party is largely ignored by the crowd that plays Smash regularly since one is a very casual game while the other is usually taken over by the more hardcore players (much like how Mario is popular but there is a surprisingly sparse online community for Mario), but that series is iconic to party games, and much like Mario Kart, it managed to influence other properties to have party games such as Pac-man, Mickey Mouse and even Sonic.

Note that there are less popular Mario spin-offs that got well-represented in Smash Bros., including Paper Mario, Mario Sports (not as much as the other two, but still better than Mario Party) and even Dr. Mario. If Mario Kart, a more popular Mario spin-off, get its representation due, then Mario Party should too.

Thank you for reading.

I can think of a stage from the Mario Party series. Booksquirm would fit as a Smash stage.

Mario Party music would be a nice addition.

Actually, a majority of the most viewed Mario related videos are just awful parodies.
 
I was under impression that Mario Party 9 - All Mini-Games by NintendoMovie is among the most viewed Mario video on Youtube, having 124 million views at the time of the post, which is no small feat. If you find clickbait Mario stuff with more, feel free to point out, but don't mention the title because I'd rather not promote curiosity especially for bad content.
 
Why not a stage that collides worlds that isn't stage morph? We can have the MSS Sea Star running over the Pirate Ship.
 
Not sure this is intentional (knowing you it might be), but the way you worded that made me picture the MSS Sea Star literally ramming and capsizing the Pirate Ship, while coming out completely unscathed.
