Characters like Dr. Mario who has a route based on colors, and Ike who fights dark warriors in Black and they throw random white hand fight in there cuz who cares
It's also the most gimmicky fight in the game (Galeem and Darkhon is harder, but if you play smart it's manageable and nothing really feels unfair). There are certain timings and attack combinations that are all but impossible to avoid getting hit for most of the cast, and there's a dozen ways to get cheesed and die super early. Or if you get unlucky, you can win and not die but spend so much time waiting out dangerous attacks that it only gives you 0.2 to the intensity.
Master/Crazy hand makes sense for Meta Knight for 1. Being 2 sides of a coin and 2. Master hand was a miniboss in either Amazing Mirror or Squeak Squad, which was the "origin" of the Smash ability in Kirby
Funny thing about Sonic's fight with Incineroar, is how ironic that in a route filled with some of the fastest characters in the game, they decided to throw in the SLOWEST in the game too.
Speaking of subspace emmisary what if it returns to smash ultimate called subspace emmisary 2 with 3DS and Wii U fighters and ultimate fighters like villager, mega man, rosalina and luma, greninja, palutena, pac-man, robin, shulk, bowser JR, duck 🦆 hunt, ryu, ken, cloud ☁️, corrin, bayonetta, inkling orange and blue, Ridley, Simon, richter, k rool, Isabelle, joker 🃏, luminary, erdrick, solo, eight, banjo 🪕 and kazooie, Terry Bogarde, Byleth male and female, Min Min, Steve Alex zombie and ender man , sephiroth and Pyra and Mythra
For Wario, I believe that the Master and Crazy Hand boss references Rudy the Clown, the final boss of Wario Land 3, whose fight mainly has you dodging his massive hands. Maybe it was unintentional, but I think it’s neat to see that game get referenced.
Snake's Classic mode where he fights another snake is not him fighting a clone, its him fighting the REAL Snake (The original Snake) Big Boss/Naked Snake hence why its alt 5. Naked Snake in MGS3 had a Green outfit.
@@ronaldoarevalo1353 Almost like Shadow Moses is the only Metal Gear stage in smash... What? Did you want them to use Zanzibarland as a stage just to make the obvious reference even more clear?
@@coreytaylor8151 ape escape 3 has a minigame called mesal gear solid. basically a MGS style game done in a typical ape escape artstyle, playing as a snake lookalike (and getting briefed by the real snake)
I would say that Mewtwo being the boss of Pkmn Trainer's classic mode is more of a reference to catching Mewtwo being the final goal in the game in Pokémon Red&Blue
Another detail about Pit's Route: In the battle against Bayo, it plays Hades theme music. In Kid Icarus: Uprising, there's a level that takes place inside Hades' body, and throughout the level his enormous arms teleport out of nowhere and punch at you. Arms of a deity teleporting out of nowhere to attack you? Sounds a lot like Bayo's Smash Attacks.
Even though Sonic doesn't have a lot of representation in Smash, it's really cool to see all those different references to various unique games and characters in his Classic Mode route.
Yeah, if only they gave him another fighter, or another stage, or a *half decent moveset that is able to reference literally anything that isn't just the spindash.*
I feel like Sonic representation in Smash is making as much as they can with what Sega gave them. We didn’t get an echo or more music, but we got two assist trophies and stages and the return of tracks that were skipped out on Wii U
I think the Giant Metal Sonic fight for Sonic's classic route was more of a reference to the Silver Sonic penultimate boss from Sonic 2, AKA, a larger, steel colored version of Sonic
Funnily enough, while Master and Crazy Hand are used everywhere in these classic modes, they actually would have been fitting for R.O.B. since they don't have any facial expressions. Or a face for that matter.
or even easier would've been making the K Rool fight as the boss (giving him a mushroom or something) on the ship stage and replacing the penultimate fight with something else
Nice detail that Lucas and Claus aren’t facing each other like rivals, but facing away, because they are brothers, and claus isn’t in his masked man skin
@@BillyWiccanHex he means that, unlike all the other matches (except for the meta knights, which both face your meta knight, because YOU are both of their rivals), they face away from each other, instead of, well, facing each other.
@@thegiraffegang8315 iirc, they do team up at some point, so I guess they're not really enemies, and more like rivals, unlike the rest who are clearly enemies? I dunno.
ROB's classic mode is a reference to Subspace Emissary where he was hiding behind a mask for 75% of the game :) Also his fight against 4 ROBs references how he turned against them during the story.
For this set here is what I would replace certain Master Hand fights with Pit: Dracula, I feel this better fits the Hades reference AND the theme of dark enemies. Wario: Giga Bowser, due to Bowser being absent and being a VERY stong hitter this would have fit way better. Ike: Dracula, HE WEARS BLACK AND RED C'MON WHY WASN'T HE THERE? Lucas: Marx could be counted as a magic user if you ask me and would have been cool. Sonic: Galleom: Sonic's bosses are mostly GIANT ROBOTS! King Dedede: Ganon or Giga Bowser, because KINGS Olimar: Marx, because SPACE, and Marx appears in MILKY WAY WISHES
nintendo be like: oh, we already have master/crazy hand, so lets use them, we already got like 60 of the fighters, ppl will never care about them anyway!
13:32 The King K Rool battle being on Pirate Ship doesn't just reference the location of K Rool's boss battle in his debut game; the stage also features the King of Red Lions, another king, furthering the royalty theme.
So many of the bosses in Classic Mode are just fights against Master and Crazy Hand, that by this point, things are really starting to.... *get out of hand here*
16:38 Interestingly enough, while Tri Force Heroes has Toon Link’s design for the Links, the Links in that game aren’t actually Toon Links and are rather based on the Link from A Link Between Worlds. The developers thought that the Toon Link design would make things easier to follow on the 3DS’ screen.
I like how in Meta Knight's Classic mode the 'good and evil' characters are facing each other before fighting you, while the ones that are relatively on the same side are not. I love little details that are subtle and genius.
You would think some boss fights would be so obvious like, sonic fighting galleom, since galleom is a mecha enemy and could easily be a refference to an eggman's machine. but then smash team simply choses master hand and crazy hand
Snake fighting Diddy Kong in his classic route could be a reference to Mesal Gear Solid, the crossover Metal Gear Solid had with Ape Escape. Diddy resembles those Pipo monkeys, and could be a stand-in for Pipo Snake. In fact Pipo Snake used a Banana Gun, which is a combination of two of Diddy’s special attacks.
3:07 actually the bowser and bowser jr fight is reference to the twin bellows boss fight from uprising because they're both demonic fire breathing beats they even have the boss music playing so this obviously has to be a tie back to the 1st boss
The Diddy Kong fight in Snake's route could also be a reference to the Mesal Gear minigame from Ape Escape 3, which itself was a reference to the Metal Gear series.
There was also one in the (Original) MGS3 where if you put it a secret password at the title screen you would start a short minigame where you are armed with a (maybe) familiar banana pistol to capture 8 monkeys
Funny how sonic fights inceniroar in his class mode route, THE SLOWEST CHARACTER IN THE GAME lol I just love when sakurai just randomly breaks the theming in the middle of class mode
For the shiek fight in Sonic’s classic mode I’m pretty sure that sheik is supposed to be a representation of Shahra, the genie of the ring from secret rings.
I mean, I see it, but I see Shiek as a stand-in for Erazor. Shiek in general uses sharp objects to attack, and in Ultimate specifically she has a Ninjato which could be a replacement to Erazor's giant razor.
For when we get to Ultimate fighters: Something clever I noticed in Dark Samus's route (The Great Poison) is that when fighting the Pokemon (worst part of that route imo) Ivysaur joins you on your team bc Ivysaur is a Poison-type.
Snake fighting Diddy Kong is also a possible reference to a mini game in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater where your goal is to capture cartoony monkeys from the game Ape Escape. Just thought I'd bring that up.
The Meta Knight one also may be a reference to Kirby and the Amazing Mirror were there is a evil Meta Knight named Dark Meta Knight from the mirror world and also the good one from pop star
Literally any other boss fight besides Galleom and maybe Marx (don't know much about him) would fit better for Dedede. Giga Bowser is Bowser, Ganon is Ganondorf, Rathalos is the apex predator of most areas he's In, and Dracula is the king of his castle.
Sonic's classic mode should been themed around third-party fighters or just have the theme based around other Sega franchises (of course they would have to choose fighters that aren't from Sega but but specific character would have to be chosen because of a similarity from either their design or their abilities)
In meta knight’s classic mode, master and crazy makes sense because you fight master hand in world of light but then they end up helping you when you play as master hand
I wish duon from subspace was in ultimate. It would fit meta knights final boss since it takes place on his ship and it’s a giant robot with two clones taking half and half
I honestly thought Snake fighting Diddy Kong was a reference to "Mesal Gear Solid," an official crossover between Metal Gear and APE ESCAPE of all things. Also the Hands' appearance in Sonic's Classic mode could be interpreted as the "Big Arms" boss from Sonic 3.
The name of Sonic’s Classic Mode route also comes from lyrics in the Sonic song, Reach for the Stars. It goes, “Take off, AT THE SPEED OF SOUND. Bright lights, colors all around.”
Unrelated to Brawls character but i love Jokers classic mode as it's just stuffed with Persona references. Like how in the fight where Mass destruction plays you fight Samus who represents Aegis and in Persona 4 fight you fight Dark Link referencing the "Iam the shadow, the true self!" thing from Persona 4.
I have a theory on why we get so many flippin Master/Crazy hand fights. There were probably meant to be 2 more fights, 2 since one light and one dark for story, but these were cut for the story mode and so they couldn't use them for Classic mode anymore. That or they wanted to use Dharkon and Galleem which would end up as too hard to actually fight in such fights. Now ghat I think about it, that might be it actually
@@pouchnoubout I know. I just find it funny. French is a really hard language for non french speakers and even for some french speakers so I don't think apologies were necessaries, especially since a bunch of french speakers would also destroy english pronounciation.
@@KLGB76 Bah, if anything, apologizing is just a display of respect. It's not necessary, but people feel inclined to do so when they try to speak a language they don't know. I just don't see how mentioning french is you mother tongue indicating he shouldn't have to apologize though. xD (Le français est ma langue mère aussi en passant. lol)
I think you should make a video on what you would change about the classic modes, as in making better references and giving more variety to the boss fights.
I think some changes I would have made for the bosses was pit gets Dracula cause I think he’s fit the dark/evil theme, ZSS should get guant Ridley cause that’s her nemesis, Wario should’ve got Giga Bowser cause Mario characters and heavey-weight, Ike should’ve had giant Mii Swordfighter with the Black Knight costume, Lucas should’ve had Marx for the magic theme, Sonic should’ve had Galleom to reference Eggman’s robots, DeDeDe should’ve had either Giga Bowser or Ganon, and Olimar should’ve had Marx cause his stage looks very space-like (and I think Rosalina got him with a similarly theme Classic Mode).
Marth was known as the Hero-King although he is just a prince due to the time differences in the games where he later becomes a king but its never seen just told in history
Ah yes, Brawl... the game that introduced the dreaded assist trophies, third party characters, and Subspace Emisarry. Had Sonic been able to show up earlier in development, how different would Subspace be?
If it was just Sonic then they probably could've slipped him into a later level, maybe the wilds or the ruined hall because Secret Rings was new at the time
You may be missing a thing on Snake's route, MGS has a crossover with Ape Escape, on AE you have some themed levels and Snake himself on the game, and on MGS 3 only on ps2 subsistance edition, there are some minigames involving the apes and you have a gun that soots bananas to stun them
@@Folutu Ganondorf is also already fought in Link’s, Young Link’s and Toon Link’s routes, but that doesn’t stop Ganon from being the boss of those routes.
I do somewhat feel like R.O.B's boss battle being Galleom, is moreso a reference to R.O.B.'s involvement in Subspace, more then the fact Galleom has a sort of face shield.
6:37 there is a spin off mini game of Metal Gear with lots of bananas in it called Mesal Gear Solid in Ape Escape 3. It was pretty good for someone who isn't allowed to play Metal Gear because of the rating.
I love how you get progressively more annoyed with Master Hand and Crazy Hand boss fights, like most of us did during Classic Mode
Couldn't they have at least changed the back ground for different characters?
They did it with donkey Kong.
Characters like Dr. Mario who has a route based on colors, and Ike who fights dark warriors in Black and they throw random white hand fight in there cuz who cares
He was absolutely DONE when he got to Dedede
It's also the most gimmicky fight in the game (Galeem and Darkhon is harder, but if you play smart it's manageable and nothing really feels unfair).

I honestly thought Snake fighting Diddy Kong was a reference to "Mesal Gear Solid," an official crossover between Metal Gear and APE ESCAPE of all things.
Also the Hands' appearance in Sonic's Classic mode could be interpreted as the "Big Arms" boss from Sonic 3.
Finally... it's been..uh..
_quickly goes back to the Melee video and checks the date_
ONE MONTH...
Reminder that it was six months between Taunt origins
The name of Sonic’s Classic Mode route also comes from lyrics in the Sonic song, Reach for the Stars. It goes, “Take off, AT THE SPEED OF SOUND. Bright lights, colors all around.”
Btw bowser and jr can also be references to twinbelows the first boss pit fight in kid icarus uprising
6:45
Wrong! Solid has fought monkeys in MGS3 in the crossover!
I am loving this series so far ^^
8:07 the use of "darkest koopaling" was a lifesaver there
The whole video is basically just the hands and Galeon
Unrelated to Brawls character but i love Jokers classic mode as it's just stuffed with Persona references.
Like how in the fight where Mass destruction plays you fight Samus who represents Aegis and in Persona 4 fight you fight Dark Link referencing the "Iam the shadow, the true self!" thing from Persona 4.
Wait I thought Marth nickname was the hero King
You're right, also Roy is nobility not royalty
A lot of these Classic Modes want the fighters to throw hands
Wario's classic mode origin name sounds like Wario's victory voice clip from MK64
I have a theory on why we get so many flippin Master/Crazy hand fights. There were probably meant to be 2 more fights, 2 since one light and one dark for story, but these were cut for the story mode and so they couldn't use them for Classic mode anymore. That or they wanted to use Dharkon and Galleem which would end up as too hard to actually fight in such fights. Now ghat I think about it, that might be it actually
This video has reminded me that saukarai doesn’t like narcissists
9:54 that line... i love it so god dang much 10/10
7:26 "I'm so sorry to all french speakers"
French is my mother tongue...
What does it matter if it is? He apologized to all french speakers, no distinction. :V
@@pouchnoubout I know. I just find it funny.
French is a really hard language for non french speakers and even for some french speakers so I don't think apologies were necessaries, especially since a bunch of french speakers would also destroy english pronounciation.
@@KLGB76 Bah, if anything, apologizing is just a display of respect. It's not necessary, but people feel inclined to do so when they try to speak a language they don't know. I just don't see how mentioning french is you mother tongue indicating he shouldn't have to apologize though. xD (Le français est ma langue mère aussi en passant. lol)
“Funny number percent of you guys aren’t subscribed.” That’s the best way to put it, Aaron.
Stop saying ny name
I remember brawl, ahh the good days
@asf;laksdjf;alks ah yes, the good old days
I think you should make a video on what you would change about the classic modes, as in making better references and giving more variety to the boss fights.
I think some changes I would have made for the bosses was pit gets Dracula cause I think he’s fit the dark/evil theme, ZSS should get guant Ridley cause that’s her nemesis, Wario should’ve got Giga Bowser cause Mario characters and heavey-weight, Ike should’ve had giant Mii Swordfighter with the Black Knight costume, Lucas should’ve had Marx for the magic theme, Sonic should’ve had Galleom to reference Eggman’s robots, DeDeDe should’ve had either Giga Bowser or Ganon, and Olimar should’ve had Marx cause his stage looks very space-like (and I think Rosalina got him with a similarly theme Classic Mode).
Finally! Let’s go!
Yeah
Agree
DaBaby
@@mr.reddady8417 less goooo
4:49 uh oh. Aaron did I hear a No-No word?
Did you do Victory Screen origins? You should do that.
I hope he does
Marth was known as the Hero-King although he is just a prince due to the time differences in the games where he later becomes a king but its never seen just told in history
You do fight Magnus, but it’s just a test by Dentos.
1:46
"The entire Kirby series"
Ah yes, Brawl... the game that introduced the dreaded assist trophies, third party characters, and Subspace Emisarry.
Had Sonic been able to show up earlier in development, how different would Subspace be?
If it was just Sonic then they probably could've slipped him into a later level, maybe the wilds or the ruined hall because Secret Rings was new at the time
I love how you sort of skimmed over all of the characters for the most part, but then out of nowhere got SUPER in-depth with Sonic in particular lmao
I'm simple. I see Sonic, I click.
Edit: What's with all these likes? Thanks for the 30 likes though. You all made my day.
same
Yeah
@28Eli Marlowe i like using sonic in pm more than ult
New Boss battle instead of master hand ✋ and crazy 😝 hand 🤚 duon
I Mained in brawl and smash 4 but I can’t in ultimate since they changed his dash attack and I can’t get used to not having a multi hit dash attack
You may be missing a thing on Snake's route, MGS has a crossover with Ape Escape, on AE you have some themed levels and Snake himself on the game, and on MGS 3 only on ps2 subsistance edition, there are some minigames involving the apes and you have a gun that soots bananas to stun them
I'm kinda sad that Dedede doesn't fight Dracula (you know, a count) at the end of his classic mode.
Well, Counts aren't royalties.
What about Ganon? You know, _the Demon King?_
@@perkilatorxiii5179 Ganondorf is already fought against in King Dedede's route so the Demon King/King of Evil is already accounted for.
@@Folutu Ganondorf is also already fought in Link’s, Young Link’s and Toon Link’s routes, but that doesn’t stop Ganon from being the boss of those routes.
I do somewhat feel like R.O.B's boss battle being Galleom, is moreso a reference to R.O.B.'s involvement in Subspace, more then the fact Galleom has a sort of face shield.
Wario's classic mode name in Italian is "I can be a villain again!" if I am correct
6:37 there is a spin off mini game of Metal Gear with lots of bananas in it called Mesal Gear Solid in Ape Escape 3. It was pretty good for someone who isn't allowed to play Metal Gear because of the rating.
