JUNIOR

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).

Today, let's cover Junior from the episode "Misadventures in Babysitting." Junior is a bratty eight-year-old from the human world that Mario and Luigi get roped into babysitting, only for him to stumble into the Mushroom Kingdom and get manipulated by the Koopalings. Across the episode, we see him dropping and breaking vases, blaming his cat for the mess, crossing through pipes between the various worlds, catching a boomerang and throwing it back, leading Mario and Luigi into a trap by shutting them inside a volcano, and helping Mario and Luigi set up a boulder catapult to stop the erupting volcano. Also, the Koopalings flood places with lava a lot in this episode, worth mentioning.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Vase

He will grab two vases and smash them over an opponent's head, leaving the pieces lying on the ground.

Side B: Boomerang

Based on when he grabs a Boomerang Bro's boomerang and throws it back, he will pull out said boomerang and send it spinning forward for high damage.

Up B: Warp Pipe

Considering its a prominent part of the episode, and he is one of the most notable humans to cross over into the Mushroom Kingdom through them, I'd say its fitting. A pipe will appear over his head and he will jump into it, shooting up through to the other end.

Down B: Lava

Though used more by Bully in the episode than him, it is part of the trap that he and the Koopalings set up together, and is then used against him when he tries to save Mario and Luigi. He will point the pipe it comes from forward an send a floe flooding out.

Final Smash: Boulder Catapult

He will set up the makeshift catapult he and the Mario brothers put together, pulling a tree down and placing a boulder on top of it, before letting it fly right into the stage.

Entrance: He will fall from a warp pipe.

Taunts: Up, he will jump around and laugh at the trouble he's causing. Side, he will hold up his cat and say that the cat did it. Down, he will become covered in bubbles from his bubble bath and laugh some more.

Thanks for reading! Next up is the Mighty Plumber!
