WIZENHEIMER
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 Bryan
20. Kid Dynamo
21. Dr. Demise
22. Gorilla Ghost
23. Mervin the Magician
24. Genie
25. Brutius Grouchimus Maximus
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
Before there was Kamek, there was the Magikoopa Wizenheimer, who appeared in the third season of the animated series, based on Super Mario World. Wizenheimer does bear a bit more of a close resemblance to his game counterpart than, say, the Koopalings, but he is distinctly larger than Kamek would be, with a bit of a belly, and a slightly stereotypical Jewish way of speaking, sort of a Mel Brooks-ish kind of parody. In fact, now that I'm writing it out loud, I'm fairly certain he was a Mel Brooks parody. He even has the whole "mad scientist" vibe going on.
Across his handful of appearances, we see the wizard summon up a thick fog to hide his presence, cast lightning, create bombs out of magic, hypnotize his enemies, vanish and reappear somewhere else, and transform someone into an egg. Obviously, as you can see, Wizenheimer borrows heavily from the games on which he's based, but he's distinct enough that I felt he could stand as a character on his own.
Here's the moveset I came up with:
Standard B: Egg Transformation
Based on an episode where he transforms Luigi into an egg. He will cast a spell and any opponent hit by it will be transformed into an egg for a short time.
Side B: Hypnotism
Basically, this will be a physical attack deflector, sort of like how Mario's cape turns an opponent around. Wizenheimer will cast his hypnotism and his opponent will get turned around to stop them from attacking him. Lightning could also work here.
Up B: Vanish
Probably the one he shares with Kamek and Kammy, Wizenheimer will make himself vanish and reappear higher, just like they do.
Down B: Fog
Wizenheimer will whip up a cloud of fog around himself to cover him and obscure him from harm.
Final Smash: Magic Blast
This is more based on how he's beaten in his first appearance. Basically, Yoshi swallows his wand, and then magic builds inside the dinosaur's belly until he unleashes it from his mouth. Basically that, except Yoshi won't be part of it.
Entrance: He will make himself appear.
Taunts: Up, he will wave around his wand to cause sparkles. Side, he will jump up and down shouting "It's Wizenheimer! Wizenheimer!" as a response to someone mispronouncing his name. Down, he will look around for herbs to make a potion.
Thanks for reading! Now, let's begin the Saturday Supercade one-offs, starting with the homicidal orangutan actor, Clovis!
