BRUTIUS MAXIMUS GROUCHIMUS
Now, we have finished the television series, and we have SO many characters to cover, from all across the spectrum. There are a few characters here and there that might get a few upgrades to their movesets, mostly being the Donkey Kong cast (one example, I think Klump should absolutely have a Klaptrap gun now). But, there are so many that are so distinct from their game counterparts, I could only make a brand new slot for them. They are:
1. Beezo
2. Flurry
3. Rex
4. Tryclyde
5. TV Mario
6. TV Luigi
7. Tommy Treehugger & Co-MC
8. Evil Eric & Tammy Treehugger
9. Princess Toadstool
10. TV Toad
11. Bones Bailey
12. Oogtar
13. King Koopa
14. Robo Koopa
15. TV Koopalings
16. Wizenheimer
17. Clovis
18. Barney Todd
19. Master Brian
20. Kid Dynamo
21. Dr. Demise
22. Gorilla Ghost
23. Mervin the Magician
24. Genie
25. Brutius Maximus Grouchimus
26. Captain Clump
27. Bunsen
28. Hercufleas
29. Salvador Drainaro
30. Sergeant Kooperman
31. Flab Boys
32. James Blonde
33. Vampa White
34. Zero
35. Captain Abidab
36. Mugga the Medicine Woman
37. Misaki
38. Waldo the Wizard
39. Quirks
40. Queen Mushroomkhamen
41. Wizard King of the West
42. Junior
43. Mighty Plumber
44. Crime Wave Clyde
45. Dino Riders
46. Candy Kong
47. Bluster Kong
48. Eddie the Mean Old Yeti
49. Baby Kong
50. Kong Fu
51. Metal Head
52. Captain Skurvy
Next up is Brutius Maximus Grouchimus, from the episode "The Great Gladiator Gig," a Gladiator parody. Brutius is a Roman (ahem, Linguinian) soldier in league with King Koopa, or rather Emperor Augustus Septemberus Octoberus Koopa, who lures the heroes to his coliseum under the pretense of a charity dinner only to trap them and force the Mario brothers to compete in gladiator games. While he doesn't actively do everything here, he is a solid pick to represent all of the episode's gimmick, as it is his coliseum. These include the Koopas he throws as projectiles, the lions he lets loose to attack the brothers, the nets and tridents used by Tryclyde and the Beezos in the gladiator arena, and the chariots Mario and Luigi use to try and escape. Some overlap with other movesets, obviously, but his is more directly focused here.
Here's the moveset I came up with:
Standard B: Koopa Shells
He will grab a pair of Koopas (stylized the way they look in the shell) and chuck them with his sheer strength as a pair of projectiles.
Side B: Lions
He will open up a gate and a lion will leap out, attacking the character directly in front of them. The lion will only remain for a short time, clinging onto its target and dealing damage the entire time.
Up B: Pole Vault
Based on a move used by Mario against Brutius and Koopa, Brutius will use one of the tridents he supplied as a pole vault, sticking it into the ground and launching himself into the air.
Down B: Net and Trident
More or less acting in just the same way that Tryclyde uses it, he will first throw the net over his opponent and then stab with the trident while they are tangled.
Final Smash: Colosseum Collapse
Based on the ultimate takedown of these characters, Brutius will punch a character and send them flying. The character will smash into a pillar so hard it begins to crumble. We then see the entire coliseum start to collapse around the stage, coming down on the other characters there.
Entrance: He will rise on a platform the Colosseum would have used.
Taunts: Up, he will wave to the crowd to amp up their enjoyment. Side, he will stir some of the spaghetti dinner he had promised and ended up being forced to make at the end of the episode. Down, he will do the famous "thumbs down" thing.
Thanks for reading! Next up is Captain Clump from "Pirates of Koopa."
