The roster of fighters in the Super Smash Bros. games is extensive, and only increases with each subsequent release. During development, contract negotiations, and more, it’s understandable that some characters would be left on the cutting room floor.
The exact same goes for our “Characters Who Got Cut From Smash Bros.” list. It’s hard making lists, and sometimes you just can’t quite fit everything in there. Here are 5 characters who got cut from our 8 Characters Who Got Cut From Smash Bros. list.
#5 – Geno
We hear you loud and clear, and we’re right there with you — not including Super Mario RPG’s one-off character Geno in Super Smash Bros. is nothing short of a civil injustice. And not including him in our list of characters who got cut was an even bigger injustice. Sorry about that.
#4 – Mike Jones
So there was a game called Star Tropics on the NES, the main character was a kid named Mike Jones, and a lot of people really, really wanted him in Smash Bros. and were really, really mad we didn’t include him in our first list. It’s not our fucking fault Nintendo barely promoted this game and most of us didn’t remember what it was, so, here he is. Now get off our backs.
#3 – Captain Syrup
A lot of commenters were… very vocal in letting us know that Wario has a rival named “Captain Syrup” and that she should have been in our Smash Bros. list. Literally none of us have a clue who this is, so why would they even think of including her in the game? Use your brains: Sakurai doesn’t give a FUCK about Captain Syrup.
#2 – Fawful
We all have our “wildcard character picks,” and while we agree it would have been awesome if Fawful were included in Super Smash Bros., we’d be deluding ourselves to think that he was considered at any point during development. Like Geno, he’s a character tied exclusively to a Mario RPG series, and a dead one at that, but out of respect for his hopes and dreams and fans’ complaints, we’ll include him here.
#1 – Boogerman
We genuinely meant to include Boogerman before and we sincerely apologize for letting that fall through the cracks. We promise to hold ourselves accountable and do better from now on.
And there you have it: every character who got cut from our cut characters list. Unless any angry commenters want to let us know that we forgot anyone else, in which case, we’ll release our definitive list of cut characters who got cut from our cut characters cut characters list.
