Hello
Yes
Monke thinks ur awesome
Why
@@kayvansheehan3547 because monke said so
In Ridley’s Classic Mode, Mario does pilot a ship, Starship Mario in Galaxy 2, you can even SEE the ship in the stage’s background
But more importantly, his ship in Super Mario Land.
I forgot about the Starship Mario I only remembered when he was in the rocket ship when he was saving Daisy
Peach also rides into space in her castle in the opening to Galaxy 1
And The Odyssey.
@@beastlylordhorse3612 Bowser’s spaceship taking Peach’s Castle into space with her in it, doesn’t count as her piloting a spaceship
I wish that rivals like Samus and Ridley’s final boss fights were with each other, that’d be a nice touch.
That's a good idea
Nintendo: NO. HAVING EVERYONE FIGHT MASTER HAND IS AN INFINITELY BETTER IDEA
Make it giant Meta Ridley for Samus as a nod to Samus Returns.
I wish samus classic mode boss fight was against mother brain
@@fnafworld3878
A fight against an assist trophy? If only Mother was like Rathalos.
The "Yellow and Green Inkling fight" isn't just a basic fight. It's against the Agents from the Splatoon 1 and 2 story modes.
The agent from Splatoon 2 doesn’t wear a bandana.
@@spectacledman it's close enough, since the alt colors and costumes are predetermined
Aaron trying to explain why the Master and Crazy Hand fights exist in each Classic Mode character route which has them is a mood.
@Molestia Minus at Stop
@@okayokey Just report them.
The Great Poison refers to Phazon, which Dark Samus is made of.
He also says how zelda get possessed but forgets it's a likely reference to Hilda, Zeldas doppelganger
Hey, you called?
@@d_demond7286 No, he didn't "forget" that. You wanted to suggest it as a separate idea, but you should have just done that, instead of passive-aggressively phrasing it like someone else fell short. Have the courage of your convictions.
@@MegaZeta i said likely instead of could be. Which does make it seem more aggressive than the intention of the comment. Ill watch the tone better. Thanks for pointing that out
I think he forgot that Master Hand was actually puppeteered by Tabuu back in Brawl, so it does technically make the most sense for Dark Samus's route.
It's not exactly possession, but it's pretty darn close to it.
Bowser gets possessed a lot too, so Giga Bowser could've worked.
Also the hands are possessed in WoL by Galeem and Dharkon, how did people forget about that
@@aaricbro. But Giga Bowser still works better. Simply because they use the hands too much, so if another option works, it should be the one chosen.
@@aaricbro. They weren’t possessed exactly, but were rather captured and had multiple copies made of them just like the all of the captured fighters in the game.
@@Probably_JENOVA, I’d consider it to be possessed still as they still try to fight you against their will, once beaten they are no longer possessed and help out the roster by conquering both light and dark in order for everyone else to take on the true final boss
Things to note with Mario and Peach on Ridley's route:
Mario is the pilot of the Sky Pop, a battle airplane, and the captain and pilot of the Starship Mario a full spaceship modeled after Mario.
Peach is the owner of a plane, that is the most I can remember but it is an aircraft.
Yeah, sunshine had peach in her plane, but she never went to space, at least willingly
Not on her plane, but thanks to a Sprixie rocket she did went to space on her own terms.
In SMB2 you could pluck rockets out of the ground to reach other parts of some levels. Peach and Mario are both playable characters. There’s also the Faceship Mario and the Odessey.
@@darthpaul99 SMB2 doesnt count since they dont own them since anyone in that game can pluck a rocket but hes referring to a SPACESHIP and rockets doesnt count as one.
They both pilot the Odyssey which did go into space…
"Rosalina is the only one here that have a spaceship"
The giant mario head that floats in space in mario galaxy 2: HEY I EXIST
Also the odyssey goes to space
@@tomnadoyeet6225 yeah... Kinda, it can reach the moon, so yes, i think the odyssey is a spaceship too
You said what I was thinking
@@tomnadoyeet6225 oh true, I didn’t think of that. And you could also make a stretch and say that when Bowser kidnaps Peach he sometimes keeps her on his airship. Although by that logic they should have picked Bowser or one of the Koopalings because they often are on airships
What are you talking about? Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't exists- Nintendo
(Sarcasm)
In Incineroar's classic mode, at Ludwig and Morton's round. Besides the references of the gloves and the trailer, I've always thought this round un specific was a team battle made of "Brain and Strength". Greninja and Ludwig the "Brain" of each team, while Incineroar and Morton are the "Strength"
1:35 To add to the paint theme, in Kirby: Super Star Ultra, Marx's Soul has a paint themed attack.
12:04 In Spanish the word "Hand" is feminine, so it actually makes sense. They would be "La mano maestra" and "La mano loca"
Oh shit
I found Ynsomniac
Yeah, in Italian they are female name too. But here they keep the English name in the Italian localization
@@videogamesleague629
In Spanish also keep the English names
@@shhh_shhh Oh, ok
In Russian too
That'll make Мастер-рука и Безумная рука
3:17 Mario pilots not only the starship Mario from galaxy 2 but also the odyssey, which Peach also pilots for a short while at the end of odyssey.
So we're gonna pretend that they didn't miss the perfect option with little mac in incineroar's
Incineroar fight ken and little mac in a ffa would be perfect
I mean... boxing and wrestling ARE different events so...
Little Mac got beat by Ken, remember?
@@leoperd3487 yea it just feels wrong
Giga mac as final battle for extra 9.9 difficulty
I feel like classic mode is under appreciated. It and other modes are really fun but I think people only play smash mode. If you are reading this I recommend trying it, I’ve beaten it as every charecter and had a blast in the process.
It’s really fun, though I wish they kept Smash Run
I did that before
But have you done them all to 9.9?
Cuz I have, and i don't sugest it. It is so fricken hard.
@@alexyeon1571 no I got some at 9.9 but but not all
@@NathanGaming395ngGamer if you ever decide to, i suggest skipping dark samus and simon for last. They are the hardest.
Richters boss fight could’ve been just crazy hand, because he is an “echo” of master hand
xactlyyy
Instead, it's Ken who gets that
But why would you want another Hands Fight?
He isnt a echo since their attacks are completely different from eachother
Y'know, Isabelle's classic mode route has a bit of irony in it because I've heard people call fights between women "cat fights"
And I, for one, fail to understand why men find said fights so attractive.
And I'm a straight man myself!
@@DrRank I also don't see the appeal I have a guess as to why they're attractive to men. It's probably a side effect of the male fantasy of women fighting over you.
@@DrRank and I just learned that apparently people find female fights attractive
@@DrRank I guess they're just generally attracted to women.
@@DrRank wha-
It’s weird and kind of annoying how some of the classic route titles in English don’t match the theme of the route.
Like, from the English title you would expect Isabelle’s route to be filled with other dogs and characters/items who are dogs or have relationships with dogs, like Duck Hunt, Mega Man with his spring dog, a fight on the Nintendogs stage with the Nintendog assist trophy, but no. It’s all the female characters, which makes sense with the Japanese title, but not the English one. I like the title Best of Show in general, but I wish they would have just picked a different English title that fits better...
The italian title can be translated to "Girls' stuff", so here it makes sense
It also extends to Beauty Pagents too tho, since Dog Shows are basically beauty pagants for canines
I feel like it could've been called "Super Bash Sisters" to be a bit more accurate.
8:00 I don’t think this is a reference to Mr. L because Luigi wasn’t possessed then, he was brainwashed. Where he was ACTUALLY possessed was Mario Tennis Aces where he was possessed by Lucien
That’s why Peach and Daisy are your allies as they faced Wario and Waluigi who were also possessed by Lucien
Yeah
Possesed, brainwashed... He became evil either way, deal with it.
/s
I feel like ken should’ve fought wario instead of Luigi because Luigi isn’t anywhere close to a rival
Wario, and also Falco
The fact that you fight Luigi on Mario Bros. is a reference to Luigi’s role as a palette swap in his debut game. It is mentioned in Ken’s presentation, that both started off as palette swaps of the protagonist.
Personally, if I had to include Wario in his Classic Mode, it would be on Rainbow Road (or whatever stage best resembles Drive-Thru), an homage to his rival battle with Rufus in Street Fighter IV. Unless it were Omega Kalos, a reference to the SML2 final boss.
@@Pooper I think the Super Mario Land 2 reference makes a bit more sense for today
@@Pooper rainbow road isnt on ultimate, sadly.
@@leeeroyjenkins555 Perhaps if Birdo or even Hammer Bro gets in as DLC Sakurai could bring back Rainbow Road but if he went with a redesign for the stage then in my opinion it could be based on the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remaster of Rainbow Road MK64 as a traveling stage similar to Mute City and Big Blue.
So, the Inciniroar one where he fights himself is kind of a deep reference.
Incineroar himself is based off the wrestler Tiger Mask, a VERY popular wrestler from japan. And his match against himself in his classic mode is most likely a reference to the Tiger Mask anime (yes the wrestler had an entire anime made after him)
In Tiger Mask W, Tiger Mask has a Rival called “Tiger the Dark” basically Evil Tiger Mask. Which is probably what the reference is going for.
Wow that’s obscure
I also got Kane V Undertaker (purple gear) vibes from the colors
ohhh that's cool! i think Ace Attorney 5 also made reference to the same guy in it's second case.
I kinda feel like Richter is one of the few characters that would actually make sense for master/crazy hand since they're sorta like echo fighters in their own way.
true, but the fewer hand fights, the better
But then we would miss the chance to fight Dracula to Dance of Illusion
No thank you. Master and Crazy Hand fights are already abundant as they already are.
@@user-dm8il9ew9t You could just spightly change Simon's final round to be a team battle with Richter with Dance of Illusion playing.
Surprised you didn't mention that yellow girl inkling is wearing the Splatoon 1 hero suit, implying it's meant to be Agent-3 from the story mode.
The Charizard and Dedede fight in Simon’s route are likely a reference to Gaibon and Slogra, as the former is a fire breathing flying gargoyle while the latter is a weapon wielding bird monster.
Also, the “great poison” is a reference to Phazon, as the chozo refer to it as such in the Metroid Prime series.
3:24 I think throwing Mario in here makes sense because he pilots starship Mario
And the Odyssey
@@goatafton1447 but it only went to space 3 times when you think of it
@@IceBlueStarCat yeah that’s true
3:26 But mario does pilot his OWN spaceship, which is on the background of that stage.
Aaronitmar: Which means, Ya a stinky boy gets thrown into the mix
Fans: Are we a joke to you?
Yes
Yes we are
I really hope he was only joking when he said that because it sounded like a SJW.
Just an idea, but I think you should include a note about the picture that shows at the end of the shooter minigame for each character, as they are still technically part of their classic mode route and are often references to the original game.
If Heavy ever got into Smash I imagine his classic mode like this:
Title: Meet the Team
All fights are stamina matches
Round 1- A match against Sonic (Color 3) with a home run bat and Samus (Color 2). This references the Scout and Soldier
Round 2- A match against Pyra (Color 6). This references the Pyro, along with the mystery if Pyro is a man or woman.
Round 3- A match against Snake (Color 4) with only explosive items. This references the Demoman.
Round 4- A fight against Mario (Color 7) with a Healing Field and a Metal R.O.B. with a Killer Eye. This references the Engineer and his sentry.
Round 5- A match against Dr. Mario (Color 3) with occasional invincibility and Dark Pit (Color 6) equipped with a staff. This references Medic and Sniper
Round 6- A match against Joker (Color 3) with occasional invisibility. This references the Spy.
Boss Fight- Galleum, referencing Mann vs Machine.
Awesome Idea 👌
Since they don't really use DLCs (since not everyone may have them), Pyro could be Mario (color 1) w/a Fire Flower, since the Flower for the Flamethrower and his cape could act as an airblast reference; and Spy could be a Shulk (color 6) b/c Backslash w/ Ditto to reference his disguising.
@@pokedude720 I know they don't use DLC for the classic modes, just some wishful thinking on my end. But seriously though, Joker fits spy so well!
@@wingedbluj1674 He sure does. I was just providing alternatives
for ridleys classic mode route Mario has his "face ship" from super Mario galaxy 2 that he pilots 3:20
He also pilots the Odyssey
I feel like I need to defend the hands for being a boss by trying to find a reason for them...
Daisy: Master/Crazy hand don’t have assigned genders as far as I remember, so they could represent the princesses of Smash, after all Master and Crazy hand represent the Smash series.
Ridley: the platform of Final Destination also looks like something in the middle of space (even think back to subspace emissary), and the hands can fly in space so it also makes sense for Ridley to encounter them
Dark Samus: In Subspace Emissary, Master hand was controlled by Tabuu, and in World of Light, both Master and Crazy hand were possessed by Dharkon and Galeem (the true Master and Crazy hands become free once beaten and help the player access the true final boss) so it fits with the poison/possessed theme of the route
Chrom: The mode is about pair-ups so Master and Crazy hand could be a pair up against Chrom and Robin who are also a pair-up
Isabelle: As stated before, the hands don’t have assigned genders as far as I remember, it’s just the hands of the creator and destroyer, so the hands could also be represented as female against Isabelle
Ken: It was already stated but Crazy hand can be viewed as the rival of Master hand which is the theme of the route so it makes sense
Inciniroar: The hands can literally punch and grab you, which as things that happen in boxing/wrestling. In my opinion it makes more sense indeed of going up against something like a giant demon with 2 swords or a giant fire-breathing dinosaur...
That’s all, thanks for taking the time for reading all of this, I’m not saying these were all the best choices, I’m just defending on what representation there is in these choices
1st reply
@@leonelreyes3566, congrats, here’s a cake 🎂
For Ivysaur in Dark Samus' route, I actually thought it might have been a reference to the clones of the first movie, Pikachu, Squirtle and Charizard being on Ash's side but the Poison type explanation might be less convoluted
4:56 this fight is actually a reference to Slogra and Gaibon, from Super Castlevania 4, where they were two of the final bosses before Dracula and a reference to Symphony of the Night where they are the first bosses you fight against as a tag team. Charizard is blue like Gaibon and Dedede is green and has a weapon like Slogra.
As a wrestling fan, here’s my insight on the Incineroar mirror match: it comes to the inspiration for his design: the legendary masked wrestler Tiger Mask. Basically there’s has been various incarnations of Tiger Mask (even an evil one which color scheme actually matches Incineroar’s normal colors) so basically this was a reference to Tiger Mask facing his evil doppelgänger
12:09 make sense cause in French the word hand is a female pronoun (une main)
I think it is more that Master and Crazy Hand are described as polar opposites, which means one hand could be considered female.
I believe you meant noun.
And I doubt that was intentional, as Japanese doesn't have gendered nouns.
for dark samus's final boss, master hand was possessed by tabuu in subspace emissary. (i like brawl and i know stuff)
Yes
And he was controlled by Galeem as well
The Luigi fight in Ken's route is on the mario bros stage, in that game Luigi is player 2, so a rival of some sorts.
A little observation is that in Ridley's classic mode, only peach is kinda there, Mario doesn't pilot the comet observatory, but he does comet Starship Mario and is always refered to as Captain, so, really he makes sense alongside Rosalina
Although it makes perfect sense that Richter's final boss is Dracula, even though crazy hand and master hand aren't the same, it just feels like Richter's final boss should be crazy hand
Details missed:
Simon:
-The Bayonetta and Dark Pit fight has them both fight each other, as a reference to both Bayonetta’s reveal trailer, and Bayonetta in general.
-The Green Dedede and Blue Charizard are references to Slogra and the Gaibon, both end-game bosses from Super Castlevania 4.
Dark Samus:
-The brainwashing theme is taken directly from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, where Dark Samus brainwashes Samus’ allies.
-Also, Dark Samus isn’t a “corrupted Samus”; it’s a Phazon-powered Metroid that absorbed Samus’ Phazon suit.
14:44 Pretty sure it's a reference to lucha libre, with the base red inceroar being a technico and the purple one being a rudo. Similar to the shiny hawlucha pallet, which is further referenced by the shiny hawlucha who plays Dark Hawlucha in the anime. I'd say it's a Tiger Mask reference but if it was, the purple one would be black instead.
4:53 this fight is most likely a reference to Gaibon and Slogra. Gaibon is usually a blue color but turns red when enough damage is done to him and uses fire attacks. Slogs is green and typically uses a spear, so Dedede is the most likely choice since he is the only character that fights using a two handed weapon. Most of the games also have an early boss fight be against a Gaibon and Slogra together and later they show up as normal enemies.
13:02 Except for the part where it's not a stamina battle...
The hands fight for Incineroar not taking place on omega boxing ring is slightly annoying lol
Am I the only one who recognizes Odyssey? Hi!
"...which kinda bends the rules as Rosalina is really the only one who pilots the Comet Observatory, while _Mario just kinda tags along for the ride."_
He says, as the *Starship Mario* is literally flying on screen. 😂
Well Master and Crazy Hand being Chrom's final boss actually makes sense this time as they are an iconic duo.
What’s interesting is that in Simon’s route, the round against Bowser, Mewtwo, and Gannon has a reference that is not related to castlevania at all. It is a reference to SSBM in the events category in event 51 where you would fight against Mewtwo, Gannon, and Giga Bowser in a 3 stock battle for the final event which is the hardest out of all events. In this battle, Bowser is in his normal form, not his giga form, making it a interesting touch of reference to this round
So what you’re saying is, Isabelle’s route should have been called “Sausage Party”
I really like the concept behind Dark Samus. And I have to say, these videos are really making me appreciate Classic Mode.
The one time having a Crazy Hand fight would make sense is for Richter, as he's a clone of Master Hand
So basically, Dark Samus's Classic Mode route is an combination of both Ganondorf's and Mewtwo's.
I've been waiting for this! 😃
Woo! Another video in the incredible series!
Hey at least Master hand in Dark Samus' makes sense in a way. Master hand was controllede by Tabuu in Brawl's subspace emissary
Nice Job on This! My Favorite is Probably Inkling or King K Rool’s!
But, I think Mario’s Inclusion in Ridley’s Classic Mode is a Reference to Super Mario Galaxy 2, Where Mario was a Pilot on Starship Mario! It could also Be a Reference to Mario Odyssey!
In Ridley's Classic Mode, during the fight Vs. Rosalina & Luma, Mario & Peach, you said that Mario is there "for the ride", but I think this stage is references to the Comet Observatory (Rosalina & Luma) and to the Odyssey (Mario), so the ships are the Comet Observatory and the Odyssey
awesome vid Aaron!
3:17 i think it is refrencing galaxy 2's final cutscene in which rosalina congratulates mario for saving peach . also in that game mario is the pilot or captain
2:38 Dang, you said Viridi's name right before, but this time, it just wasn't it. LOL
2 things on Incineroar's classic mode. The battle between Morton and Ludwig specifically reference a tag match known as a Tornado Tag match where both wrestlers of both teams go at it. And the purple Incineroar can reference the "imposter wrestler" a copy cat if you will. A good example is the match between Sin Cara Azul, The real Sin Cara and Sin Cara Negro, the imposter who posed as the original.
5:45 when the final boss isn’t master crazy hand
Mafia city ad pops up
It would have been better if Dark Samus had the Richter classic mode idea, as Dark Samus originated in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes so they could have made that reference
I wish some of the bosses were more creative then just Master Hand and Crazy Hand.
"no bosses that fit the theme" is no real excuse either. several fighters have boss fights that compose of standard fighters, like mega man vs doc and mewtwo, or bayonetta vs giant palutena
@@Underworlder5 I feel like a lot of the fire emblem characters could have fought rathalos.
@@jackthememer1186 not really, honestly. many FE characters have a certain theme that rathalos does not fit the criteria for. only marth (and arguably robin) actually have fitting routes, and marth already has rathalos as a boss
lucina and byleth: FE characters (rathalos is from monster hunter, not fire emblem)
roy: sword wielders (rathalos does not wield a sword, though its claws could arguably be considered swordlike. certainly more fitting than the hands)
ike: black colored fighers (while having some black body parts, rathalos is primarily red, and appears in bowsers red-themed route)
robin: fire and electricity wielders (rathalos certainly wields fire, but has no electric attacks. only fits half the theme)
corrin: white and black colored fighters (same as ike. rathalos only has some black, and no white coloring to speak of)
then again, if this means fewer fights against the hands, i would prefer it
@@Underworlder5 Yeah I see what you mean but both FE and Rathalos come from fantasy genres of games.
@@jackthememer1186 i do think that rathalos would suit the awakening reps. if i thought of a boss to represent grima, i would have chosen rathalos over the hands. also, i will never get over the fact that the sword wielding ganon is not in the sword wielder route
I've always been very interesting in knowing about this, and am happy that when I have the time to watch this video I'll finally be able to. :D
Mario actually is a spaceship pilot, in Super Mario Galaxy 2 he is the one piloting the Mario-shaped ship.
This was very useful info !
4:46
Confirmed!
Masahiro Sakurai shiped Bayonetta Winkybunion and Pittoo.
6:14 It would have been super cool if he fought crazy hand, without master hand.
8:29 It's particularly appropriate since Samus and Ridley canonically hate each other more than either of them hates Dark Samus.
I actually think that in Dark Samus’ route, Zelda’s colour is meant to represent Hilda, the princess of Lorule.
Can’t wait to see you do all the DLC characters next after all of them are released.
The Bayonetta and Dark Pit fight in Simon's route has been theorized to be a reference to the vampiress Carmilla and her servant Laura. Bayonetta and Carmilla are quite similar, plus Bloody Tears has consistently been used as Carmilla's theme across the Castlevania series.
Also, in Galaxy 2, Mario was the captain of the Starship Mario.
Today, I had a feeling that you would upload today. I guess that was a great feeling.
Pokémon trainer in dark samus Classic Mode May represent The evil charizard, ivysaur and blastoise from The first pokemon movie with New and mewtwo
more likely meant to represent the Shadow Pokemon from the Gamecube games Colosseum and Gale of Darkness.
Ivysaur is the only one brainwashed in smash, though. If they wanted to reference that, I think it would have made more sense if they used Charizard
I think the reason Morton and Ludwig were picked due to Morton having the star and Ludwig his hair as if it’s a mask or hat
Are you gonna do the dlc for smash bros ultimate classic mode gonna be seprate for each one or are they gonna be together
probably separate between season pass 1 & 2
For the Dark samus vs. Pokémon it most likely references how Pokémon can be turned Evelio in Pokémon go by team rocket.
Simon's fight against green Dedede and purple Charizard is probably a reference to Slogra and Gaibon, two bosses from Super Castlevania 4 who were first their own separate bosses but then sort of got associated with each other and at times fought together at once. Slogra is a green spear wielding monster with a beak which I guess they went with Dedede since he's beaked and carries a weapon, even if it's not a spear. Gaibon is a kind of bat-like/dragon like monster, which fits in line with Charizard more or less.
Inkling's final boss being Marx is also quite clever since in Super Star, swallowing one of Marx's attacks is the only way to give Kirby the rare "Paint" copy ability, obviously fitting the Inkling's gameplay from their home series.
The fight against bowser, ganon, and mewtwo at 5:04 could be a reference to event 51 in melee. This would also fit the theme of "Smashvania" since event 51 was the final event of smash melee.
6:15 I would actually argue that this is a situation where one of the hands would actually make sense. If the boss was crazy hand, the echo of master hand, it could actually be pretty cool.
3:29 To be fair: Mario has the role of the Navigator for the Spaceship Planet in Galaxy 2, so that counts too.
9:32 Hey, a Route where Master and Crazy Hand as Final Boss actually make sense.
Marx could also be a reference to Splatoon 1's final boss itself, which is a flying DJ with a disco vibe. His rainbow-colored wings could be meant to represent that.
The Luigi fight in Ken classic Mode, can be a reference of what Sakurai said about Luigi being the original echo fighter, so it can be a battle for the title of the original echo fighter.
I can’t believe the best music from Splatoon plays in the end of Inkling’s path in Classic mode!
I was honestly waiting for this video, specifically for the saltiness about Master and Crazy Hand.
I also just thought earlier today, what if more Assist Trophies were turned into bosses?
Dark Samus' classic mode is all a big reference to Metroid Prime 3, in which she infects all of the bounty hunters, including Samus, with Phazon, which was called "the great poison" by the Chozo who lived in Tallon IV. Through this Phazon infection, Dark Samus is able to slowly corrupt and control the other bounty hunters and causes them to attack Samus
Round 4 in Ridley's Route is a reference to Rosalina & Luma, Mario, and Peach being in Super Mario Galaxy which is a space-themed Mario game.
This RUclips channel is so wholesome and I don’t know why.
Simon's Classic Mode was pure misery trying to beat. And it's mainly due to that 1v3 fight against Bowser, Ganondorf and Mewtwo.
5:04
This could also be a reference to event 51 in Super Smash Bros Melee where you fight the same characters, except Bowser is Giga Bowser.
The Pokémon in Dark Samus’s route could be a reference to first Pokémon movie where a group of Pokémon get brainwashed by Mewtwo. That could explain why that fight only contains gen one Pokémon.
3:20 Mario does pilot a ship, the Starship Mario from Galaxy 2. As for Peach... you could say she's the pilot of her castle that was taken by Bowser in Galaxy 1.
Actually in Simon's route, the Slogra and Gaibon reference is in stage 4, while stage 5 seems more like a reference to Melee's latest event match where you fight the exact same team plus they're all dark/evil in some sort.
I'm surprised kirby wasn't in incanaroars rout given his up throw side throws and the fact that in past game skirb6 has gotten fighting a boxing related abilities
For Dark Samus having to fight Master and Crazy Hand, you could say that the hands were both possessed by Galeem and Dharkon respectively :)
Simons fight against Bowser, Mewtwo, and Ganondorf also reference Event 51 in Melee as the three most difficult opponents furthering your point
"Peach is just there"
E3 2021: You sure about that?
The fight against three bosses on Simon's route probably used those three as a reference to Smash itself - think back to the final mission in Melee.
When Ridley is in King K. Rool's Classic Mode Route despite not being a super-heavyweight.
