SALVADOR DRAINADO
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 Drainado
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
The internet doesn't seem to have a concensus on the spelling of his name, so we're going with that one. Appearing in the episode "Brooklyn Bound" and later mentioned in "Plumbers Academy," Salvador Drainado is one of the world's most famous plumbers and the founder of the school Mario and Luigi learned their craft from. Some years before the series began, he mysteriously vanished. The brothers later discovered that he had stumbled into the Mushroom Kingdom and been trapped there many years, using his plumbing abilities to devise himself a one-way trip back home. Mario and Luigi almost go with him, but they ultimately stay behind in order to save Peach and Toad from King Koopa and his forces. The trick with him here, and what ultimately got him into the roster, is that he can act as a catch-all for literally every single plumbing-related action in the series. Mario and Luigi, of course, used a lot of said moves, but they were mixed in with pasta and game-based moves as well, while Salvador is free to be all about the moves.
Here's the moveset I came up with:
Standard B: Plunger
The most basic of plumbing moves, though it seems to be referred to as a plumber's helper a lot in the show (is that a thing and I've just never heard it called anything but a plunger?). He will pull out a plunger and stick it to an opponent's face.
Side B: Plumber's Snake
He will lash out with one of the plumber's snakes used very frequently in the series, using it to grab and opponent and pull them in closer.
Up B: Pipe Burst
He will adjust a pipe underneath him and cause it to burst, a jet of water shooting up from underneath him and sending him flying high into the air. Can damage those around it as well.
Down B: Blockage
He will work on an open pipe, breaking free a thick blockage that will then spill from the pipe and cover the ground directly in front of him, causing a possibly poisoning/possibly slippery trap for anyone who crosses it.
Final Smash: Way Home
He will climb into the machine he rigged up to send him back home to Brooklyn, shutting the door and locking it behind him. Water will then build and build underneath the machine, the pressing growing greater and greater until finally the machine is launched into the sky and off the screen, tons of water flooding out across the stage and washing away the other characters.
Entrance: He will step out of his machine, whistling with his wrench over his shoulder.
Taunts: Up, he will stare upward, scratching his chin as he considers a problem. Side, he will use his wrench to tighten a pipe. Down, a pipe will burst for a second and he will flounder in the spray.
Thanks for reading! Next up is another plumbing focus, Mario and Luigi's instructor Sergeant Kooperman!
