Gangly fella who has an unhealthy obsession with all things Donkey Kong.

Too busy this year to have done a big celebratory drawing, hopefully I can get something done at some point, maybe DK's 45th anniversary or something, but either way, shout out to DKC's 30th Anniversary in North America!! Things are looking up for the big ape! #DKC30

@Smashiebros That is not why I picked Mickey. I picked him for the reasons I already mentioned, but him being one of the most iconic characters ever doesn't hurt... Though without that ticket in, and without those distinct game-only appearances, I wouldn't have drawn this moveset for him.

@Smashiebros But it's not hypocritical, it's already what's in Smash. Video game versions of public domain characters are so far the ONLY non-game origin characters in Smash at all. Castlevania's Dracula is not Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula, it's uniquely a Dracula that originates in games.

@Smashiebros I don't agree. I think sticking to game origin, and in these rare cases, video game versions of public domain characters, is a good rule of thumb. But yeah, it is very much riding the fence as far as one can go. It's as far as we can push it with the already established rules.

@juliusaurus but the thing is they are still not video game char. if like against Goku becuase he is not video game character that SHOULD apply to all on that rule no matter if public domain or not no matter if theirs personality is same or not honestly

@Smashiebros That's why I'm getting into the nitty gritty here! Public domain is the ticket in, as it was for Dracula and Medusa and such. And even having a video game version, that is distinctly from video games and not from outside of gaming, is not easy to identity with many of them.

@juliusaurus this is kinda what i talk about smash fans has this thing where: This or That specific non video character is fine but Rest is not either its all or non atleast if need a requirement let them has a rich video game history even if appearances is similar or not

@Smashiebros And that is one thing I would probably change about this Mickey moveset now. The sorcerer's apprentice Final Smash. At the time I drew this, I based it on Disney Infinity, but it feels far more connected to his outside-of-gaming persona. Best to try to keep it to game-only.

@Smashiebros Yeah, I'm one of those against him too. He's not public domain, his "video game versions" are too similar or based on non-game appearances, whereas Mickey's video game personas are generally very unique to games. For the most part, video game origin is where I hope things remain.

@BringBackBanjoK I like Krystal, but I do agree somewhat. The TMNT comparison is great, the original four team members are just so iconic together, to the point where it feels weird to not have all four on the Smash roster. It'd be like having only two turtles on the roster for your Smash clone..

I really like Krystal but her inclusion in Star Fox really messes up the dynamics of the characters. It isn’t unlike putting Venus in the TMNT team I think she’s a large part of the reason why Star Fox has struggled with its direction since Assault and why Zero was necessary.

@Neaok11 @PinkieMeowstic Works easy enough, heh. But thankfully, Disney is already involved in Smash, they can use their video game version of a public domain character just like any other company can . Also, Mickey in color is public domain now too! At least his shorts and shoes anyway.

@RogersBase Thanks Roger!! Gotta get more of that arcade era DK on the roster, I'm thinking Pauline has a realistic shot at doing that too!

@juliusaurus I love, love, LOVE the concept of Cranky Kong drinking a banana potion and turning into the OG 8-bit DK for his Final Smash. Truly inspired choice!

@TurkeyLegz Right?? He's a living embodiment of Nintendo history, how perfect for Smash! And especially a character that can rep the pre-video game era of Nintendo toys and doodads. Imo he's t the best vehicle for them to show up, retro representation!

@juliusaurus 9 volt seems like such a slam dunk character and Sakurai would love just giving him moves referencing every Nintendo product ever.

@zimeemga @elpaisdedk I did draw them! And I oughta draw more, the only other one I've drawn like this are for Duck Hunt dog (waaaay before he was confirmed for Smash) and also Sans from Undertale. Been thinking about drawing ones for Dixie Kong + Kiddy Kong, and maybe Agumon/Greymon/MetalGreymon.

@PinkieMeowstic And considering Mickey Mouse is now public domain, a video game version of him would technically qualify... Just look at Dracula from Castlevania, or Medusa from Kid Icarus. Video game versions of public domain characters are fair game!

@Beckarinrin Video game Mickey! Even included G&W Mickey, the first ever Mickey game, which hey, Nintendo made the first ever Mickey game, that's cool! In a sense, Mickey would incorporate elements from games made by most of the third party devs that are already part of Smash!

@CANNED_POSSUMS Fun fact, both Ridley and the Duck Hunt dog were created by the same guy, Hiroji Kiyotake.

@ooneupgirl None of them are exclusive to either series, they all show up in each other's games from time to time, but DK and Pauline are Donkey Kong characters, and heck, so is Mario, it's just Mario spun-off into his own series, where DK series characters can sometimes show up too.

@juliusaurus Mario vs DK are both Mario and DK games as it's said in the title, they were like 2 significant DK games without counting the amount of remakes and Pauline was the highlight of Mario Odyssey, she's not an exclusive DK character and this has been a fact for a while

@ooneupgirl Those games that had Mario and Pauline in them were Donkey Kong games Mario can show up in DK games just like DK can show up in Mario games (and Pauline too!)

@juliusaurus Pauline is a Mario and DK character, she originated in a dk one just like Mario, and besides, Bananza is the only solo dk game she ever appeared in, all the other games she was in had a "Mario" in it
