Which franchise with a playable character(s) has the worst/smallest representation in Smash Bros. Ultimate, and how can it be improved? Give your explainations. (stage wise, series wise, music wise, and moveset wise)
Here's my example: PAC-MAN (series wise)
While there's nothing wrong with his moveset at all, his series representation is at the rock bottom: his "alt costumes" suck ass and barely have any difference, and they're even worse than Sonic's alt costumes (at least Sonic's alt costumes have him change color in his full body). No acknowledgement of ANY other games in his franchise other than the original, Pac-Land and the one theme from Pac-Mania. Barely any music, spirits, anything else from the rest of the franchise other than the original Pac-Man and Pac-Land that I mentioned before. Nothing from Pac-Man arrangement, Pac-Attack, Pac in time and especially nothing from the Pac-Man World trilogy.
If I were to improve his representation in Smash, I would bring back the PAC-MAZE stage from Smash 4 (but more advanced, based on said maze in Pac-Man Championship Edition) in addition to the Pac-Land stage, and for spirits, I would include these characters from the Pac-Man series: Professor Pac-Man, Toc-Man, Orson, Spooky, and of course, Ms. Pac-Man! And I would include even more obscure picks, like Miru and Crystal. As for his alt costumes, not only can we either use the Pac-Man Battle Royale colors, but I have a bunch of ideas:
- Have Ms. Pac-Man as an alt costume.
- Retain his 2nd costume, but with him wearing a hat to make him resemble his appearance in Pac-Land.
- Have one of his costumes involve him wear Professor Pac-Man's hat.
- Have most of his alt costumes turn the colors of Pac-Man's body into the ones of the Ghosts in his series.
- Have one of Pac-Man's costumes involving a TURN-TO-BLUE version of Pac-Man.
- Have one of his costumes involve Pac-Man being based on Taizo Hori, also known as Dig Dug, from Dig Dug.
- Have one of his costumes involve Pac-Man's body colors resembling the color scheme of the maze in the original PAC-MAN game.
- Have one of his costumes involve Pac-Man being based on Sue from Ms. Pac-Man.
And finally, the music. There's so much we can do to improve Pac-Man's series representation through music, and that is by adding these following music tracks/remixes below:
- PAC-LAND, from: Pac-Land (1984)
- Ancient Ruins, from: Pac-Man Arrangement (1996)
- Buccaneer Beach, from: Pac-Man World (1999)
- Cleopactra, from: Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness (2000)
- World 1 - Pac-Motos, from: Pac-Motos (2007) [Note: this was part of Namco Museum Megamix, which did come out in 2007, and is technically a remix of Motos]
- Pac Jump Up!, from: Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 (2016)
- Pac Oi Oi Oi, from: Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 (2016)
And that is all how we can improve Pac-Man's series representation in Smash Ultimate.
