Here are somethings that are on my mind about this series and some facts: 1. Ice climbers were used instead of their ideas for: Clu clu Balloon fighter(Technically the villager fits the description) Excite bike racer 2. Snake and Sonic were originally planned to be in melee but due to time constraints they were turned down. 3. Dixie kong, Roy, and Toon Zelda/Tetra, and Dr.Mario would have appeared in brawl but were denied. Honestly Dr.Mario should've worked like Zelda and Shiek or with Samus and Zero suit Samus when you could change your character and fighting style it's just simple not so complicated. Same with Young Link and Toon Link also with Pichu and Pikachu these should be swappable characters because they're the same characters. 4. Mewtwo along with Bowser and Dedede were to appear in Smash bros 64 but only showed up in the beat test version. 5. Characters they planned to add these characters into the series: A Toad (Mario) Banjo Kazooie (If Rare ware decided to stay with Nintendo but they left with Microsoft) James Bond (Same deal/Pierce Brosnan of course from golden eye) Mew (Since Mewtwo is in the franchise roster)
