Even though it’s been awhile since I’ve played Super Smash Bros. Brawl on Wii (that’d be because I suck at it), in the back of my mind, I’ve had a few video game characters that I think should be included in the next edition. Metal Gear Solid’s Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog have crossed over, who else should do it?
Well, let’s take a look, shall we? Oh-tay!
Bonk
From: Bonk’s Adventure
Can you imagine Bonk using that giant cantaloupe head of his to knock people around? Or getting angry and becoming Super Bonk? Perhaps he could throw around some pieces of meat? Hey, this may actually happen with Nintendo offering up the Bonk games on the Virtual Console.
ToeJam & Earl
From: ToeJam & Earl
I loved the original TJ&E game and these guys are just groovy enough to put the funk into a Smash Bros. game! Beware the rocket skates!
Sparkster
From: Rocket Knight Adventures
Ah, the wars that he and Meta Knight could wage against one another…
Max
From: Shining Force
To me, he’ll always be Justin, but Max is the character you play as in Sega Genesis’ Shining Force. I’d love to see him clash swords with Link or the Fire Emblem guys.
Sly Cooper
From: Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus
From an underrated platformer comes a really fun character that’s already equipped with his very own weapon!
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger
From: Ty the Tasmanian Tiger
Ty also comes from an underrated platorm and he also benefits by following the BYOW (Bring Your Own Weapon) rule…. BOOMERANGS!!!
Rick
From: Splatterhouse
Yeah… I can dream, can’t I? Machete, anyone?
Rick is pretty awesome. In fact, I’d pay a boatload of money to be able to smack Mario in the face with a machete.
How about Simon Belmont? He’s got a plethora of weapons and a history of kicking spooky vampire backside. If that doesn’t qualify him for the SSB world I don’t know what would.
