Assist Trophies and Pokemon

[Ton]

I mentioned it elsewhere, but what do you guys think of this?;

Animal Buddy crates. They'd be like ATs or Pokemon, but they're animals from DKC. The dud could be enemies like in Melee. A crate spawns with a DK symbol on the side, you smash it, and it releases an animal buddy who attacks for you. Maybe it's too much, and I haven't thought of the attacks they could use, but it's an idea.
