Second Chance: Snide the Weasel

SNIDE THE WEASEL


Well, I may not know why I added this character in the first place, but I'm glad I did. Snide is a weasel from Donkey Kong 64 who had constructed the Blast-o-Matic for King K. Rool, only to be fired out of K. Rool's own paranoia. Seeking revenge, Snide offers to help the Kongs sabotage the Blast-o-Matic so long as they get him his original blueprints from K. Rool's minions. Whenever you bring them to him, a series of cutscenes occur, with various Rube Goldberg devices activating to bring out a banana as a reward. These devices include: a kart blown forward by a fan, a ball kicked into a hoop, a giant pointing finger, an extendable punching glove, and a mallet.

So, whatever inspired me to add him in the first place must have known what it was talking about because my answer is . . . 


YES


Here is the moveset I came up with:


Standard B: Punching Glove

He will hold up his punching glove mechanism, and fire the glove forward at high speed.


Side B: Ball Toss

He will drop a ball and kick it across the stage as a flying projectile.


Up B: Mallet Strike

His mallet will fall onto the strength meter, which will send the little bell, and Snide himself springing into the air with a "ding."


Down B: Kart

He will produce his little kart and blow it forward with a fan, sending it crashing across the stage and into other fighters.


Final Smash: Blast-o-Matic

Given he built the thing, makes sense that he would use it against his own enemies. Will function similarly to K. Rool's version.


Entrance: Marching forward like he does when you enter his HQ.


Taunts: Up, holding up a golden banana. Side, he will push his big pointing finger from side to side. Down, he will look over some blueprints.


Kirby Hat: His welding mask.


Kart: Based on his little sail kart.

Special Move: Making a nearby opponent unable to use an item for a short time.


Spirit Battle: Himself on DK Isle.


Victory Screen: The Blast-o-Matic falling apart with him looking smug.

Losing Screen: Stewing to himself and going over some blueprints.


Color Swaps: Himself, a DK color scheme, a Diddy color scheme, a Tiny color scheme, a Lanky color scheme, a Chunky color scheme, a scheme based on the Disney weasels, and a K. Rool color scheme.


Thanks for reading! Next up, the main villains of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.
