Today, let's cover Alfonzo, Link's train instructor from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, descendant of Tetra's crewman Gonzo using his exact model. Most would probably know him from the Spirit Train stage currently in Smash, running the train whenever Toon Link is unavailable. I guess, maybe Niko can take over in his absence now.

Being your instructor, Alfonzo stands as the best possible character to represent the trains gimmick of Spirit Tracks. This gives him the train itself and its tracks, the cannon, drill, and net you can attack to it, and the passenger and freight cars. To the man's credit, even without his trains, he still rose to Zelda's defense and took on Chancellor Cole and Byrne with his sword.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Rail Cannon

He will set up the cannons used on the train by Toon Link and fire it. He will be locked into place as he fires around with it, making it like an on-rails shooter. Used in conjunction with his Down B, he will be able to fire while moving around.

Side B: Train Net

He will extend his train's net outward, being able to scoop up and toss opponents from afar. Once again, able to be used in tandem with his Down B.

Up B: Smokestack

His train's smoke stack will pump, blowing smoke up into the air and launching him upward with it. This will break him from his Down B.

Down B: Track

He will lay out track along any long stretch where he is standing. His train will appear at one end, allowing him to hop onto it. The train will then move along the track, allowing him to attack from it with any of his other attacks, while damaging anyone it connects with.

Final Smash: Train Crash

This will be a Captain Falcon-style cutscene attack, in which a full train barrels down the track at his opponent.

Entrance: His train will pull into the station.

Taunts: Up, he will pull the train's whistle. Side, he will whistle "all aboard." Down, he will stop and lean against a coal shovel and wipe sweat from his head.
