TSR's Super Smash Bros Thread|SWITCH HYPE TRAIN NOW BOARDING

[MrYoshbert]

Not only that, but the initial concept for The Wonderful 101 was said to be canned due to Nintendo being presented a concept art of Mario using a set of Toads as a bridge, but yet...they seem to be fine with Peach using Toad as a shield in SSB, and Toad being hospitalized in the Mario Kart Super Circuit commercial (no, seriously, watch for yourself).

Didn't you know?  Using Toads as a bridge is dehumanizing to them.  Using Toads as a staircase, however, is absolutely fine.



Also, this issue of "characters doing what they don't actually do in their games" has been present ever since the N64 title.  See: Luigi being able to rocket himself like a missile, DK being able to spin in the air like a helicopter, Ness using PK Thunder and PK Fire, Fox using guns (at the time, anyway), Yoshi being able to trap himself inside an egg and roll around, Mario throwing fireballs without a Fire Flower, Pikachu and Jigglypuff kicking and punching, Link jumping period, and pretty much everything about Falcon's existence in the game, right down to not being in a car.

If we keep dissecting Smash Bros's versions of the Nintendo cast like this, we'll be here all day.
