Mario RPG Classic Mode

CLASSIC MODE

Just like before, our classic modes will be based on the games and more or less recreating them through Smash battles. I’m most familiar with Thousand-Year Door, so let’s do that one:

1.       Rogueport: Whether forced to play as Paper Mario or not, Goombella will be your companion here and you will fight Lord Crump.

2.       Petalburg: Probably set in a castle stage, maybe from Legend of Zelda or something else, with Koops as your companion. A boss fight with Hooktail herself might be cool.

3.       Boggly Woods: Set in a forest level that matches the theme. Honestly that Ori game kinda matches the feel, but we’ll see. Flurrie will join you as a companion and I could see Lord Crump and the three Sirens acting as your opponents.

4.       Glitzville: Set on a Boxing Ring-type stage (possibly the Punch-Out one) with the Baby Yoshi as your companion and Rawk Hawk and a Grubba-color-schemed Spike as your opponents.

5.       Twilight Town: Luigi’s Mansion or another spooky stage from another series. Doopliss is just your opponent with Vivian as your companion.

6.       Keelhaul Key: Soda Jungle or maybe a Tropical Island stage from some series (the Animal Crossing island stage comes to mind). And either a very large Dry Bones or Stalfos from Legend of Zelda, or just a straight up boss battle with Cortez himself, Bobbery acting as your companion.

7.       The Excess Express: Man, if Fuzzies had made it in. Set on a Train stage from really any series it would make sense for a train stage to appear in. Fighting a horde of any small round character with a black color swap that would bear a resemblance to the Smorgs. Ms. Mowz would be your companion here.

8.       The Moon: Probably on Mario Galaxy, given the gravity effects, and fighting Sir Grodus and Lord Crump for the last time.

9.       The Thousand-Year Door: Any cathedral-looking stage, maybe that Kalos Pokemon League one or if that cathedral from Undertale ends up being a thing, with a dark-colored Peach and a giant member of the Shadow Sirens as your opponent. (If the queen is a color swap, then her)
