An animated cinematic universe based on the video games (From Nintendo and third parties) within the Super Smash Bros Universe. Decided to redo (AGAIN) this page now that all of the fighters are present and to have Illumination's Super Mario Bros Movie as the starting point. Only rules are only posting characters who's series appear somehow in some way in the series (either if it's a fighter, an assist trophy, a trophy, a spirit, a mii costume (since that's how the mii fighters are gonna be represented), etc. (DO NOT ADD CHARACTERS WHO ARENT REPRESENTED IN THE GAMES AND NO JOKE CHARACTERS) The only exception would be characters from Final Fantasy 6,8,9,10, and 10-2 and The World Ends With You since characters from those games DO appear in Kingdom Hearts. I felt like it wouldn't be fair for fans of those games to only see their faves once in KH and never see their full story. I also hope to post plot ideas for this in the comments
