Super Smash Bros. Turbo (Nintendo)

Super Smash Bros. Turbo is the sequel to the very popular Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and manages to be a more enhanced version with a larger character roster and correction of any mistakes made in the previous title.

This game will probably not, however, feature any enemies from the previous game in accordance with the plot (see below), but given its nature, some of them may make an appearance.

Since there are so many Super Smash Bros. titles on this wiki, I plan to try to make this one the most believable sequel to Brawl.

This game will be released for the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and the Wii (in case you're wondering why this is, I believe that all games for the Wii U should be on the Wii as well because at the time the Wii U comes out, many people will still have well-functioning Wiis. As such, I don't think people should have to buy the new console just to play the games).

Plot
After the events of Brawl, the characters have all gone back to their own planets and back to their own business, but they are unaware of the new threat that is arising. The villain of this game, known only as The Presence, begins using black magic to plant visions in the minds of the game's characters. These visions (false, of course) give the characters the impression that famous villains are plotting to cause apocalyptic destruction, serving at the same time to diminish the memories of the working together that took place in the previous title, meaning that when multiple characters are set on battling one villain, they'll ultimately end up trying to destroy each other in an attempt to defeat said villain by themselves. This works for The Presence in every way; if the heroes destroy each other, or the villains destroy the heroes, it means less opposition; and if the heroes manage to destroy the villain, there's less competition for him.

The Presence uses careful tactics whereby he will pit the strongest characters against each other and less strong characters against each other in the hopes that they will all destroy each other, or that it will narrow down the level of resistance preventing The Presence from dominating the galaxy in which all the heroes exist. For example, I think that Mario, Link, and Kirby should be set against each other, and that characters like Toad, Pichu, and Tails should be set against each other as well. He also makes a point of bringing other, new formidable characters into the mix, to make sure that they are destroyed as well.

In order to incorporate a workable Story mode into this game, I plan to have The Presence go the extra mile by putting enemies from a particular universe in the way of characters hunting down the heroes of that universe. Again supposing that Link was going after Mario, he would be faced with Goombas, Koopas, Hammer Bros, Spinys, etc., who could potentially be kidnapped by Mario and sent to try to deter Link.

To prevent this from having a disastrous ending, there will be an unforseen flaw in the black magic. Whenever the characters attack each other repeatedly and powerfully enough, it eventually causes the magic to dissipate and restore the positive memories of co-operation, and from that point on, as in Brawl, certain characters become part of certain parties that form to confront The Presence, whom they all try to follow through observation of what pattern he has been creating in his spell-casting.

In addition, some characters won't attack others that are from the same universe. That is, Mario won't attack Luigi, who won't attack Peach, who won't attack Toad, and so on. This prevents the possibility of straight up civil war among everyone and will make necessary the journey that is Story mode.

Characters
Insofar, the character rosters on other SSB articles on this wiki have been rather random. Since this game is still in a budding stage, I'm not entirely which characters will be playable and which will make cameos or serve as Assist Trophies (or regular ones). However, I think I have a good starting list in mind.
 * Mario / Dr. Mario
 * Luigi
 * Yoshi
 * Toad
 * Peach
 * Bowser
 * Bowser Jr.
 * Daisy
 * Wario
 * Waluigi
 * Rosalina
 * Link
 * Zelda / Sheik
 * Ganondorf
 * Impa
 * Ghirahim
 * Toon Link
 * Young Link
 * Classic Link (that is, a modern appearance of the Link in the first title)
 * Classic Ganon (same principle as Classic Link)
 * Sonic
 * Tails
 * Knuckles
 * Shadow
 * Dr. Eggman
 * Megaman
 * Captain Falcon
 * Black Shadow
 * Samurai Goroh
 * Jody Summer
 * Kirby
 * King Dedede
 * Meta Knight
 * Waddle Dee (headband)
 * Olimar
 * Solid Snake
 * Samus / Zero Suit Samus
 * Marth
 * Ike
 * Lyn
 * Roy
 * Pikachu
 * Ash (has his own three Pokemon to battle with)
 * Misty (has her own three Pokemon to battle with)
 * Brock (has his own three Pokemon to battle with)
 * Mewtwo
 * Pichu
 * Lucario
 * Jigglypuff
 * Ice Climbers
 * Mr. Game and Watch
 * Pac-Man
 * R.O.B.
 * Donkey Kong
 * Diddy Kong
 * Funky Kong
 * Dixie Kong
 * King K. Rool
 * Crash Bandicoot
 * Coco Bandicoot
 * Neo Cortex
 * Lucas
 * Ness
 * Pit
 * Fox
 * Falco
 * Krystal
 * Wolf
 * Black Mage
 * White Mage
 * Cactuar
 * Moogle
 * Slime
 * Ninja
 * Miis

This list is long, definitely, but I think as a real, final total, the 75 I'm ending with is reasonable. For instnace, the 36 characters in Brawl is exactly three times more than in the first title, so a drastic increase is nothing new. I've tried to make the list comprehensive but not add in every character I can think of. Even with that resolution, I may end up adding too many, but it's a step up. I have arranged the list by series, so if you can find a character in one series, the rest will be nearby. Four key additions I made, in case you didn't notice, are Shadow, Pac-Man, Megaman, and Crash Bandicoot. These four I added mainly because they were popularly demanded as characters in at least one title, so for the sake of completion I put them in.

Since this full roster is just over twice the length of that in SSBB, for character selection, I think the characters should be grouped together by series so that it's not just one enormous mess; alternatively, they may be placed in scrolling columns at the top of the screen. As long as the characters aren't all just sitting on a screen together.

Revisions of Character Flaws
For one thing, I didn't like the slow recovery of a failed grab attack by Link or Toon Link. They're probably my two favorite characters within the entire series, and if I was playing, and I ended up in a pile-up of fighting, then if I failed a grab attack, I would almost always get my butt kicked. As such, I think the grab attack should be similar to the Zair (air grab) in form, as opposed to becoming vulnerable if you miss.

Also, I rather found Luigi's Negative Zone move to be strange and creepy, and a complete misrepresentation of the whimsical, likeable character that is Luigi. So I think I'd like to change Luigi's super move to an attack with the Poltergust 4000, as in Mario Sports Mix. However, I'm well aware that some people enjoy the Negative Zone, so I think that after a certain amount of plays as Luigi, say, 10, the Negative Zone will be usable if you obtain the Smash Ball and hold down the "B" button. If you want to use the Poltergust, you just tap the button.

Gameplay
I have to say that the gameplay in Brawl left little to be desired. However, I did get an idea that I think may improve it. In Super Paper Mario, there is an option to switch from a 2-dimensional viewpoint to a third person viewpoint. Given that the minus button on the Wii currently doesn't have much of a function on the game, I thought it might be a fun feature to be able to switch to that sort of viewpoint and battle characters in front of you rather than next to you, or vice versa.

Also, I have an idea for the team gameplay as well. Being a fan of different palette swaps, I found myself frustrated that the characters on my team had to look a certain way in order to play on my team. For example, on the Blue Team, you always had to have the Zora Tunic Link, or Blue Kirby, etc. So in this version, I think I'll make the team colors more of a frontal symbol and allow the changing of palette swaps for each of the characters so that you can make the teams look however you want.

Another thing I found myself frustrated with is the selection of certain conditional characters. For example, Zelda could become Sheik, Samus could become Zero Suit Samus, and the Pokemon Trainer could cycle through Pokemon. Now, there was a trick in the beginning of the match where you could switch some characters to alternate forms, but to do that you'd not only have to play in the match, but you'd also have to play as those characters yourself. As such, I think a good gameplay improvement would be making the alternate forms palette swap options, up front, under the characters they are synonymous with. This would be similar to the principle behind Wario, where you could switch from his normal outfit to his biker outfit.

List of Pokemon
This list is pretty long, but it's a little less long than the character roster, which is fitting with the usual tradition of there being fewer Pokemon than characters.

There are a few important notes that must be made here: (Note): An asterisk ( * ) next to the name of a Pokemon signifies that it is a Legendary Pokemon. All Pokemon who were Legendary in former titles are Legendary in this title as well.
 * 1) You might have noticed that I added Eevee to the list. Eight possible things can happen when an Eevee emerges, making it similar to a Metronome Pokemon; Eevee can either attack as he is, or turn into a random evolved state, which could be Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flarion, Leafeon, Umbreon, Espeon, or Glaceon. Eevee is actually a little more likely to remain himself, however.
 * 2) I put both Togepi and Clefairy in the list, even though they both use Metronome. This is because even though they have the same move, the possible outcomes are different, meaning that they aren't the same character twice.
 * 3) There are a few Pokemon, like Dialga and Palkia, that I left out of the list. This is because these Pokemon are stage elements in recent titles, and stages from recent titles are to be included, so I don't want to be repetitive.
 * 4) Although the attacks of Zapdos and Raikou are similar in description, they are different in this game. Here's why: Zapdos's attack is surrounding itself with a current of electricity, much like Torchic. On the contrary, Raikou emanates electricity onto the ground for a large radius around itself, causing critical damage to those who get caught in it.

Assist Trophies
I decided to list the assist trophies for the game, as a couple of assist trophy characters have become playable, and more universes have been incorporated, meaning that new trophies must be added.

List of Assist Trophies

 * Devil
 * Dr. Wright
 * Excitebikes

 * Pac Man Ghosts - Drift across the stage and cause damage until about five seconds before they disappear, at which point they enter a frightened state and cause no damage.
 * Shy Guys - Cause minimal damage when they walk around the screen, but can be picked up and thrown for intermediate knockback.
 * Cataquacks - Fling people up into the air, as in Super Mario Galaxy.
 * Bass - Shoots with the Bass Buster and runs across the stage, causing minimal knockback.
 * Beat - Does as he does in Mega Man 5 and 6, flies across the screen and causes damage through contact.
 * Aku Aku - Attaches to the face of its releaser, making him or her temporarily take less damage.
 * N. Gin - Uses his giant ship to shoot rockets randomly across the stage.
 * Midna - Lashes dark tentacles at anyone in range except her releaser.
 * Skull Kid (with Majora's Mask) - Runs toward his releaser's opponents and tries to hit them with spells which, if successful, will turn them into Deku Shrubs, during which time they will steadily sustain damage and be unable to attack.
 * Zoda - Summons the Death Anchor and drives it across the screen in horizontal, random lines.
 * Silver the Hedgehog - Takes on a role similar to Shadow the Hedgehog, except he stops every other player than the releaser completely in time, unable to move. At the end, he also returns his releaser's health to the state it was 30 seconds previously, for better or worse, and then disappears.
