Bomberman

First Appearance

Bomberman

MSX

1983

One of the most popular video game characters, along with being one of the most requested characters, Bomberman is the greatest bomber ever. He has had 3 cartoon shows after him, dozens and dozens of games starring him, tons of merchandise, and has become an icon in video games.

The trick would be designing his moveset. He could obviously use bombs and his variation of bombs. Maybe he could be resistant to bombs and explosions.

He could use his ice bombs to freeze opponents, thunder bombs to give electrical damage, and fire bombs to add flame damage.

Maybe he could use mines too as a special move.

His standard option could be using regular bombs. However, they stay in place where they are placed and won't explode until Bomberman detonates them. This could be his recovery move.

A possible taunt?

His entrance?

Another taunt?

Maybe he could put on his vest and drop a whole bunch of bombs for his final smash...

Overall, Bomberman has enough weapons to build up a moveset, plenty of alternate costumes, and is definitely a top contender for a third party character.

Assist Trophy: Mia

Mia could use her water PSI as an assist trophy. She could summon a wave with her staff.

Bowser

First Appearance

Super Mario Bros.

NES

1985

Perhaps the most famous video game villain, Bowser has played a vital role in gaming. He's scary and tough without being too tough. He'll make another return for sure.

Yoshi

 

FIRST APPEARANCE

Super Mario World

1991

Super Nintendo Entertainment System 

 Everyone's favorite egg-laying dinosaur is a shoe-in to return, being one of the original Smash Bros. characters. He's also been one of the only 8 characters that has been a starting character in every game of the series. The only new thing about Yoshi I want to see is more colors of him. There's so many different alternate costumes he could have, plus he's a VERY simple character to edit color on.

Peach

First Appearance
Donkey Kong
Arcade
1981

The most annoying character in the Super Mario Bros. series. Needs rescuing in nearly every game, from her first appearance as "Paula" aka Mario's girlfriend. She still is important, though. She has recently appeared in her own game (Super Princess Peach), has been in many mario spinoff games, and an become an iconic Nintendo character who can finally hold her own weight instead of riding on the Mario Bros.

The only move change I think she should have is making her standard special move use Toadsworth instead of just Toad.
