I’m a little disappointed they didn’t update Cloud’s final boss to be Sephiroth if you bought the DLC.
That'd be cool actually
Imagine if in mario's route, u fight sonic, and in sonics route, u fight mega man, and finally in mms route u fight PAC man
Buff Cloud's route
I wish they would update the classic mode tbh, it would add a bit more depth!!
I wish they'd update Greninja's route to include Piranha Plant with Ivysaur...
“And the final boss is Master and Crazy hand who are also not Mama Peach”
The lore expands.
MASTER AND CRAZY HAND EXPOSED!! CALLING MASTER HAND AT 3AM!! (NOT CLICKBAIT)
@@memesfrommycomputer GONE WRONG
@@HoneyEggs * HE CAME TO MY HOUSE *
Palutena against Master Hand and Crazy Hand in a sense fits the theme, they’re pretty much Gods in the Smash Bros Universe.
Facts
Paluntena, beatable by a Normal Kid
(Cough) SePhIrOtH
@@wukong9423 they can't, nintendo doesn't use dlc characters in the base roster classic mode
Kirby would like to know your location
Aaronitmar: Trying to find thematic reasons for each route
Classic Mode: Master and Crazy go brrrrr
We need less master hand and crazy hand fights
@@StevenJones851 I agree. It would have been especially cool if they had Galeem and Darhkon, but that would be too spoiler-y
@@Uhhhhh1188 yeah Galeem and Darkon would be fun too fight Again
yeah, villager should fight marx and wii fit should fight giga bowser
The finale for Greninja's route could've been Rathalos for the dragon type
They could've at least updated Cloud's classic mode route to replace Master and Crazy Hand with Sephiroth
You mean for those who bought sepiroth right?
This or make a "Boss version" of Sephiroth (like Giga Bowser and Ganon)
And the boss would be Safer Sephiroth -with 2 minutes supernova-
My thoughts exactly. I really appreciated little things like if you bought Tifa, Barrett, or Aerith’s mii costumes, it would change their spirit fights. I’d be happy if the classic modes could get the same love.
@@onewingedren2228 or the "gain Seph early" fight re-used.
If they updated Lucina's route, they could push each character back, start with the Byleths, and have Marth be the boss
“You wouldn’t expect a doctor to throw hands.”
But you’d expect a plumber to do so?
Let's be honest, hearing your friend got beat down by a plumber makes more sense than a doctor
More so than a profession that literally requires you to swear to "do no harm", yeah.
He puts you in the hospital then makes you pay the bill
No no he's got a point
@@LowReedExpert1
You know how many heroes villains are doctors?
How many other plumber heroes and villains do you know of?
I swear, you should do a "What the final boss SHOULD of been" for their classic mode. Who else agrees?
Yes! I even made a top 10 list!
No
Sephiroth should be the final boss to Cloud, it would be cool, and I hope it won't require you to get the DLC.
Yea, definitely!
That’s a good idea
They could've had Villager with Ivysaur since he plants trees as one of his attacks.
Or Olimar
Or Piranha Plant
@@moladat4481 would’ve had to patch it in
@@moladat4481 Piranha Plant's DLC, and DLC can't appear in Classic Mode routes outside their own
@@tikprpro03 oh tru dat
Rosalina isn’t officially called a princess, but she is the adopted mother of the Lumas.
I hate when people call Rosalina a princess. Wich she is not.
She's more of a queen than a princess to me and that makes sense
She wears a crown and a gown, though. It's, like, illegal or something to wear that stuff if you're not a princess.
Yeah, I think Galaxy implied that she is pretty much a physical goddess.
I agree since she wasnt a princess, but rather a Goddess since she is able to float in midair.
Little Mac's fight against Incineroar is a reference to the trailer when both Ken and Incineroar were both announced
Nah.
actually it is because Little Mac gets smashed into the background by Ken with Incineroar arriving so it's kinda a grudge match
@@JustJoshinYaPac Yeah but that's just mostly a stretch. All his fights already take place in Boxing Ring to reference his series where he fights his opponents in his games.
ya I know it's a stretch but I still wanted to add that because Incineroar was shown as a character in the boxing ring
His disappointment every time Master/Crazy Hands are the final boss 😂😂
Dark pit starting with mewtwo could be a tangential reference to the fact he’s called pittoo in uprising
I like how when talking about shulk in palutena classic mode, he didnt actually spoil the game, because if you played it you know why shulk is in there
But wasn't the "no need for gods" thing kinda' the whole point of Xenoblade's ending?
SPOILERS
It still doesn't change the fact that he briefly became a God
@@BassiKun99 spoilers
Or that he was the vessel for a God.
Yeah, that was nice of him not to spoil it for people who haven't played Xenoblade.
18:29 in the French version his route is called "travel sickness"
So it actually is a reference to Cloud's motion sickness!!!
@@gv82089 I know
@BenjaminCD I didn't expect to found you here
@@Coolmar15 oh hey dude
@@Skypatroller_BenCD How are you today?
Marx would have been perfect for Villager’s final boss! It fits the theme so well, but we just got master hand
I know, right? I mean, who would expect a clown grape to be powerful? It fits the theme really well!
Why is he so broken in star allies
@@moosesues8887 everyone in that game is broken
It be your *mistake to underestimate* what looks like just a floating white glove, so it still fits kinda
if only Sakurai could update Cloud's classic mode... I mean Mama's Boy is now in Ultimate, he could be the final boss instead of the hands.
Heck, update Classic Mode in general. Most of the final bosses in Classic Mode are just generic Master and Crazy Hand fights, when there’s already so many fighters and bosses that can be used to pull off the references.
Make Sephiroth the final boss, put his percentage at 77%, and give Cloud instant Final Smash meter
I can't wait for Aaronitmar to say: "We did it guys, we hit a quarter of a million of subscribers."
"So guys, we did it"
"we've reached a quarter of a million subscribers"
"250,000 subscribers and still growing"
“the fact that we reached this number in such a short amount of time is just phenomenal i-im just amazed, thank you all so much”
“who didn’t refill the ice tray?”
I give that thumbnail a 20/10
I give it 1000/10
I give it 10000/10
I give it a 9999999999999999999999999999999999/10
8:35 thanks for not spoiling the more obvious connection here which was almost definitely what smash was going for
Palutena's battle against the 3 Pits and Dark Pits is more likely a reference to the multiplayer mode of Kid Icarus Uprising, which had teams of three face off against each other, (Light vs. Dark), with the appropriate Pit being the "leader"
Who is you to say what is more likely a reference? you make the game?
@@captainmega6310 You don't know, Samuel Mitschele-Dauenhauer could be a pseudonym
Ken and Ryu can also double as a reference to the Black Belt trainer
Olimar, a man with a literal plant army, watching Ivysaur have to rep Grass type all by himself: "why must it be like this..."
Oilmar isn't plant like though
@@captainmega6310 On his own, yeah, and I figure that's why they didn't include him here.
I would love if they went back after all the DLC is finished and edit the old routes a bit to fully encompass the whole cast.
maybe in smash 6?
13:17 I believe that also Dracula been an undead creature (a vampire) makes sense for Pac-Man since he constantly fights against undead creatures (ghosts).
Wanted to point out that ZSS' inclusion with Pikachu in Round 2 of Your Turn, Greninja! could also be a sneaky reference to Subspace Emissary!
"Then you have Isabelle... who'd want to beat her up?"
Me: *Cracks fingers* all right. let's load'er up. Time to do some damage.
Rashid944:Hey Doom slayer do you mind if I join with you, I got my rocket launcher
Well... Having to hear her talk about how Interesting the movie she saw on TV was for the 20th time when you boot up New Horizons for the first time during the day is not very pleasant.
@@BassiKun99 Agreed. I never liked her. *Fires at Isabelle*
She's still a Harvest Moon knockoff
@@Keiji555
I don't dislike Isabelle, far from it. I just don't like how repetitive and useless her Daily announcements in New Horizons usually are.
I can send a tactical nuke if it's needed
cloud: is questioning life
Villager: your free trial of living has ended
@@nintendofan6499 hi
I thought that the assimilation of Mega Men in Mega Man’s Classic Mode was supposed to be the Copy Robot from Mega Man 3
That's actually a good observation since the Copy Robot in MM3 has 3 copies instead of just one like in MM1
@@papaG6423 thank you!
Cloud could have represented sephiroth (as he wasn’t a character at the time) who actually was genetically created in a lab
also, at one point, sephiroth gaslights cloud into thinking he is a clone. while he is not artificially created, for a good chunk of the game, everyone thinks he is
I love this series, it's so much fun! Next can you make a Spirit Battle Origins Video? Go through loads of Spirit Battles from throughout the game and work out there costume references with the music and stage and stuff?
How would he even sperate that?! It would be more easier for him to do something like "Victory Screen Origins" where he would talk abour each fighter, and seperate it into how he always does his origin videos. Also, it would take him years to finish.
@@Uhhhhh1188 true true, I just think it's be cool
@@Uhhhhh1188 also yeah, Victory Screen Origins would be awesome
@@cammoore___ I'd love to see special move reference videos.
@@hectorcollazo8845 or just move ones, yeah!
I think it's also worth noting the specific pairing of Pikachu and Zero Suit Samus in Greninja's Classic Mode could be a reference to them teaming up in Subspace (or it could just be a stretch)
Learning more about Rosalina’s path somehow makes me wish Rosalina got more spotlight in other non-spinoff Mario games: she has major roles in both Galaxy games and makes a cameo in Odyssey as a sprite, but that’s pretty much it. The rest of her appearance are Mario Kart, Party, and Sports games (fun fact, for those who didn’t know: she initially was supposed to appear in Odyssey playing a guitar on the streets, no joke)
Yeah i seen it
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS POG
😮
Same
Same
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
-Akihiko
@@papieverett nice reference
Wish they added Joker in Palutena's classic mode.
Either Joker or Byleth would work really well.
No ACTUAL gods in P5 so the makes no sense
@@captainmega6310 It literally has full religious/mythological figures, and even if you mean they're just personas/shadows, Yaldabaoth is still a god.
@@BDeity those are called themes. And having one actual god doesn't mean much compared to the others many
@@captainmega6310 but they're only metaphorical in the Persona games. The same characters are real beings in mainline SMT.
I love how they didn't put link with Zelda during bowser jr's mode because link isn't really Zelda's love interest
Zelda is there to as a strong independent woman who don’t need no man
Sidon is
@@sayzar9474 pfft maybe only botw zelda, the rest kinda just deal a finishing blow using powers bestowed to her
@@angelarzola2438 I don’t like the botw Zelda a5 all
Skward sword Zelda says otherwise.
In the greninja classic mode, the samus pairing could also be a reference to subspace emissary where she works with pikachu
I’m laughing at the thumbnail. Why?!?!
Dude, Clous was experimented on in order to create a Sephiroth clone and for a long time he believed he was his best friend Zack
Bowser Jr.‘s route had such a missed opportunity! Who else gets bothered about being a mom when she actually isn’t more than Bayonetta?
I'm sorry, what?
@@FurryBayo I’m assuming you’ve played Bayonetta but I hope I’m not spoiling anything. But time travelled Cereza bugging Bayonetta and calling her mummy.
@@furby9284 I actually know about that, it's just that your comment was worded weird. So I didnt understand at first. Also to prove that I've played bayonetta allow me to fill you in on something.
Whenever Bayonetta's Dad pops up in her head saying "no harm will come to you" or "I'm always watching over you my dear sweet child" he isnt talking to Bayonetta, but he is talking to Cereza.
Let me tell you, it would have been really cool if Sakurai and the team updated Cloud's classic mode to have him fight Sephiroth. Also, is it me or have I seen this video before?
It was just posted
I know what you mean, actually. I remember a few days ago turning on TH-cam and seeing what I recognized around Minute 7. Could just be a deja vu though.
@@hydrusalphy4654 All I remember was Cloud. I had a ton of deja vu moments in my life. This is just another.
Aaron, you missed ONE thing about the Link and Zelda fight in Palutena's route... seeing as it deals with gods, Zelda is the reincarnation of Hylia, the goddess who pretty much became mortal
Let’s have a new series on the channel called “Classic Mode Concept”
Example: Reimu either fights projectile heavy fighters or other female fighters
@@captaindoesyoutube7925 oh geez, I thought you were a Filxzone Bot 😆
Hey Aaron!
I would like to mention that in Rosalina's classic mode many star based items appear
also I'm Subscroobed!
in addition, for little macs route, only sandbag spawns
For Shulk in palutena’s route I guess you didn’t want to mention the fact that spoiler:
Shulk and Fiora literally have gods inside of them (Zanza and Mayneth).
@@TARDISES they should have added that to Pyra/Mythra (The Territorial Rothbart)
@@TARDISES oh it is? I don’t not remember the territorial rotbart in XC2 because of its high meme status for being a level 81 monster in the “Baby Starting Area”. But now that you mention it, you’re right.
@@TARDISES oh that is interesting. I guess Monolithsoft knows how much of aware of how much a meme the Territorial Rotbart is too.
18:05 Also Vega is Spanish and Meta Knight in Smash and the 4kids dub of the Kirby anime has a Spanish accent.
For Dark Pit's route, Created Warriors, if Shadow the Hedgehog was playable, he would in this one
Is Shadow really art officially created?
The Robin vs Robin fight in Robin's classic mode being a reference to the Grima battle is moreso cemented by the fact that the stage music, Id Purpose, is Awakening's final map theme, and specifically the choice of killing Grima with Robin triggers one of the endings
Master Hand and Crazy Hand make sense for Shulk, since the art after MACHINE is the the one the enables him to kill GOD.
It still upsets me that the Mii fighters don’t have classic modes
Same.
They could go against other customizable characters, like Robin, Corrin, Pokémon Trainer (colors 7&8, referencing Gen 6 and 7), and such.
Or reference to mii series stuff like the sports games or the Streetpass minigames
I always thought a mii fighters route would mainly be them fighting fighters of their respective styles. Brawler would fight characters like Ryu, Little Mac, etc. Swordfighter has plenty of sword fighting characters to pick from. Gunner could fight characters like Samus, Mega Man, etc. That was my thought at least.
I'd personally like to see the Mii Fighters have customizable routes per each created Mii Fighter.
Would add even more extra replayability, and if counting them is an issue you could just count the scores for one for each type.
Mega Man really got a fair shake with his Classic mode. Wish some others got that treatment.
I still hate that Shulk does not have Galleom as the final boss. It would suit because Galleom is a robot and Shulk has a hatred towards robots in Xenoblade chronicles
Shulk route sucks
Instead of making based in the monado arts they could have done based in XC1 lore
With 2 final bosses (i mean Sephiroth it's just Bosses)
Galleon first and the real final boss would be Master & Crazy Hand and a withe shulk alt (The "Z" guy If ya know what i mean)
6:59
Megaman Leaf Shield: Am I a joke to you?
You should do Victory Screen origins after this series
You keep on being disappointed by Master and Crazy hand being the final bosses. But who would YOU have as the bosses?
Master and Crazy hand represent the Normal type because you fight them so much. They're the the Rattata of the Smash universe
You'd think Snake would be in Dark Pit's route since he was cloned from Big Boss
Oh smash 4...yeah, I remember that
Now we just gotta wait for the dlc and ultimate
Aronitmar when master and crazy hand appear: *YOUR EXISTENCE OFFENDS ME*
Megaman in shulks route may also represent all the monado arts coming together and the ability to switch between them, since you can switch weapons in mega man
6:58 Bro, why you gotta do my boy Ivysaur like that. Well at least Plant's here now.
9:08 Ah yes the gods of Classic Mode.
9:34 "Um AcTuALly MeW iS a MyTHicAl PokeMOn." I despise people who do this.
13:45 My favourite FE heroes.
18:16 Well at least they have a reference this time. Also, thank you Ken for just standing there for like 10 seconds. Really helpful.
19:33 I guess you could say he's *not interested* in the final fight.....okay I'll leave.
I just want to add something: I think Cloud's classic mode route is totally associated to his motion sickness since the french name for his route his literally called "motion sickness"
For Corrin’s final boss of master and crazy hand, it could be a vague reference to Anakos and Revelations where it’s revealed that Anakos was the cause of the struggle of Nohr and Hoshido as the hands causing it hence the name “BETWEEN white and black”. Additionally Revelations Japanese name is Fire emblem IF: Invisible Kingdom and the hands basically are the invisible force in everything.
18:38 wait cloud has motion sickness?!?!?!
I never thought I could find a character I can relate with
Yep. It was revealed much later into FFVII story, it was even referenced in Cloud's reveal trailer for Smash 4
7:42 Also you know, Zelda is the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia and Link is the reincarnation of said goddess' chosen warrior.
12:53 It's actually a reference to Kirby's Adventure on the NES.
Yeah since its the only NES/Famicom Kirby game existed and it fits perfectly, however they should of picked The Fountain of Dreams than GB Dream Land stage instead.
6:57 and that's why rillaboom is one of my picks for DLC
Been absolutely loving this series huuuuge pog
Every time a classic mode route ends with Master and Crazy Hand, do an hour of homework. You'll probably have done all your homework three times over.
Master Hand is so overly used in these Classic Modes. They decided to put in Marth, Dracula, the dragon!
But not other game villains of most non-nintendo characters?!
Congrats to you for going through all of these and finding origins
20:11 I think that alongside the light/dark color scheme, this fight is a reference to Corrin's sisters. Peach and Rosalina represent Elise and Camilla while Daisy and Palutena represent Sakura and Hinoka
so are masterhand and crazyhand confirmed to be princesses now?
Well, whether or not they are princesses, the most important thing is that neither of them are Mama Peach...
they also appear at the end of isabelles route, which focuses on female fighters. sure, there are no female bosses in smash, but other routes have proven it does not necessarily have to end in a boss fight
A bit more info on Cloud being in Palutena's path. Whilst this is more closely linked to Zack, in Crisis Core, there is a goddess who makes a brief appearance called Minerva, whom Genesis believes is the goddess from his favourite tale, LOVELESS. She can be fought as a secret super boss.
An additional reference for Corrin is in the Fire Emblem Cipher 0 trading card game, there are factions depicted by colors, and Hoshido heroes are White cards and Nohr heroes are Black cards.
BONUS FACTS:
Little Max's first fight is a reference to the Incineroar trailer.
Zero Suit (and Samus in general) is often paired with Pikachu in the fandoms thanks to Brawl, so her being in the Pikachu section of Greninja's CM makes sense.
MH and CH make PERFECT sense for Palutana's Route since they are Gods themselves.
Considering how Marth (and Roy) debuted in Melee in the West, MH and CH most likely is a playful nod to that(?).
MH and CH are light and dark characters respectively, so Corbin's boss makes sense. Plus they are W H I T E .
"Ivysaur has no other Grass fighters"
Piranha Plant: Am I a Joke to you?
Shulk should’ve fought Galleom at the end of his Classic mode to reference Metal Face.
No it doenst since Metal Face can fly in midair while Galleom cant.
@@courage1363, it’s close enough
Oh come on why couldnt villager vight Marx. At first you'd expect him to be a weak little guh but he becomes god and become a black hole. Dont think i forgot wii fit trainer she or he could have fought giga bowser giant heavy turtle and he could have wii fit trainer could have been helped doctor Mario. Greninja could have fought giga bowser or rathalos representing a dual type of fire/dragon. Palutena sure i can understand master and crazy hand but some other good options would have been marx or Dracula. The end of Marx's game he became a god, for dracula the same logic as simon and Richter. I no nothing about fire emblem to say anything for lucina or robin. Shulk could have fought galleom to represent the mechon. Bowser jr could have fought giga bowser to represent bowsers fury and before you say "hey idiot bowsers fury came before ssbu" but after the game realese there could have been an update for bowser jr to fight giga bowser. Cloud could have fought rathalos representing the dragon that he and sephiroth fought and that was a fake memory but screw you. I can respect master an crazy for corrin but considering that corrin is a dragon he could have fought rathalos
I think the reason why Kirby is in Pacman's Classic Mode Route is because of Kirby's Adventure which released on 1993
Yes! I've been waiting for this!
Villager route should’ve ended with Marx
7:45 Not to forget that the Princess Zelda herself is a goddess in hylian form
8:40 And not to forget Shulk becomes a god himself
10:13 Or maybe is a reference to Sephiroth, since he was not in the game by then Cloud would suffice
Pac-Man's Classic mode also has two other cool details.
1. In the fight against Duck Hunt, no music plays in the background. As far as I am aware, this is the only time in the entire game where there would be no music in the background for any specific fight. This is nice nod, since the original Duck Hunt game never had any music play in gameplay outside of the occasional jingles, which is handled by the Duck Hunt stage itself.
2. To hammer-in the "original" versions of stuff, the Dracula fight has another cool detail. Normally, the music in the background would be "Nothing to Lose" (phase 1), into "Black Night" (phase 2). However in Pac-Man's Classic mode, "Dwelling of Doom" plays for both phases. Not only it is a retro theme directly taken from the classic game, but it is specifically the Famicom version of the song.
Fun fact: I also distinctly remember an earlier build of the game, whether it was the pre-release version or an early patch, where the "Dwelling of Doom" nod didn't work properly. It would play "Dwelling of Doom" on phase 1, but then it would transition into "Black Night" in phase 2. Obviously, this would be fixed later.
Dark Link was also first formed as a test for Link in Zelda 2, he appeared next as a mirror creation from the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time, and his last official appearance was in one of the 4 Swords games in which he was also created by Vaati.
So yeah, that's all 3
The Ken and Ryu vs Master Hand battle is more than likely a reference to the "Dramatic Battle" mode in the Street Fighter Alpha series, where two players could take on fights at the same time in co-op.
7:50 Just going to ignore the fact that Sephiroth and Jenova have some pretty heavy religious themes with Sephiroth basically being Edgelord Jesus, Sephiroth's name being an alternate spelling of Sephirot and Jenova's name being a corruption of Jehovah which is one way the herbew spelling of the name of Abraham's god, YVWH is romanized in modern times? The franchise as a whole might have religious undertones but Cloud specifically has ties to some of the strongest to Abrahamic faith followed by the Warrior of Light from FFXIV who basically all but fought the Pope in the Vatican.
I really hope Palutena or Pit have a cameo in Bayonetta 3. Their rivalry in the Smash games is perfect for both series.
For Corrin’s classic mode:
In the third battle, Rosalina and Peach are likely meant to represent Camilla and Elise, respectively, as they are Nohrian princesses who aid Corrin should they choose to side with Nohr, hence the dark-colored alts. In contrast, the opposite-gendered Corrin, who represents a Corrin who sided with Hoshido, is aided by Hinoka and Sakura, two Hoshidan princesses who act as Camilla and Elise’s counterparts and are represented by Palutena and Daisy, respectively. Having Daisy represent Sakura is kinda funny since both of their names are also the names of flowers.
The second-to-last battle is doing something similar; however, instead of the princesses, the Corrins are being aided by the princes, and the Corrin that the player is controlling has sided with Hoshido instead of Nohr. The Hoshidan princes, Ryoma and Takumi, are being represented by Chrom and Marth, respectively; having Chrom be Ryoma is particularly clever since they have the same voice actor. Now, Lucina and Robin represent the Nohrian princes, Xander and Leo; however, Lucina really should’ve been replaced by Ike here given that Xander is male and both him and Ike wield large legendary swords. Robin as Leo is a great choice, though, given that both of them are tacticians who wield magic and even have similar personalities.
And master hand and crazy hand aren’t the worst boss in the world considering that the true villain of FE:Fates is often represented as a disembodied head and has the power to control and resurrect literally anyone (kinda like having the player control the character in smash and respawning) and also starts wars (the battles in smash themselves). Still, I think that fighting a giant Ganondorf with the white hair skin, and having that being followed up with Rathalos would’ve been a better boss fight.
Ryu and Ken also fought together against M. Bison in the Street Fighter Alpha series' Dramatic Battle mode.
DK is actually a pretty good representation of Wood Man due to their similar coloring and the fact that both beat their chests
The hands being Corrin's final boss makes sense as they're both white colored while the fight before is against black colored foes and it was alternating between white and black from the start with white being the odd numbered fights and black being evens (G&W combining both being an exception).
I love the constant bashing of the hands boss fight through out the series. My favorite is Greninja's "and finally against your favorite pkmn type, hand type".
Smash for Wii U & 3DS was my first smash game, so it has a special place in my heart despite the jank
"Next up is Ivysaur, for the Grass-type, and he's a loser idiot who has no friends with him."
Pirahna Plant's like "Yo dawg, I said I'm on my way, I just didn't make the bus!"
Fun question, if characters outside the Smash roster became puppet fighters for Galeem and Dharkon. Who would the two deities claim?
I could see Galeem having
* Yu Narukami
* Knuckles the Echidna
* Klaymen
* Bandana Dee
* Tails
* Izuku, Ochako, Tenya, and Shouto
* Banjo and Kazooie
* Rayman
* Ruby Rose
* Optimus Prime
* Regime!Superman
* Waluigi
* Shovel Knight
* Spongebob
* Magalor
* Geno
* Copy X
While Dharkon has
* Gooey
* Cuphead
* Henry Stickmin
* AoSTH!Robotnik
* Angry Video Game Nerd
* SMBZ!Metallix
* Mimikyu
* The Heavy
* Hat Kid
* Monokuma
* The Knight
* Onslaught
* Joker
* Mad Rat
* Wart
Disappointed with the Greninja one because Rathalos could easily represent the dragon type, with is also the strongest pokemon type as a final boss.
2:20 Samus has a similar color pallet to Metal Man and their helmets are red. That's basically all they have in common.
2:34 Quick Man and Captain Falcon also both have red helmets as it would happen except theirs also both have yellow adornments that curve at similar angles.
The villager route should have Marx as the final boss since he's so cute and you wouldn't expect him to turn into something so terrifying and creepy
9:26 The Mirror of Truth can create exact copies of the reflected person; the Dark Pit is the way he is is because he's an incomplete clone of Pit from the destroying the mirror while being reflected
For Greninja's route, they could have included Piranha Plant as a "grass" type and Mario as a "water" type (just have him use F.L.U.D.D. a lot).
