Plumbinator

PLUMBINATOR

In order to stop Robo Koopa's rampage throughout Robo Land, Mario, Luigi, Bunsen, and Dr. Nerdnik come up with a brilliant idea: to fight fire with fire.

The result of this idea is the Plumbinator, a giant mech piloted by both Mario and Luigi that puts them on even footing with Robo Koopa. Armed with a flyswatter, plungers for arms, rocket boosters, and eggs as projectiles, the brothers use the Plumbinator to take on their fearsome foe.

As a fighter, the Plumbinator will be big and strong, with a fair amount of speed. It will be a semi-clone of Bunsen, pulling from much the same movepool as she does, with a few minor differences being things more specific to the Plumbinator itself.

Likelihood rating: Non-game.

Second Chance: Plumbinator

PLUMBINATOR

My answer is . . . 

YES

I don't know why I said no before. Like, obviously, Bunsen and the Plumbinator can take on the same moveset. It's not like she had an echo. On the other hand, it would have worked fine as a Robo Koopa echo too. I'm dumb, okay. I'm dumb.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Eggs

Could stick with the drill, but throwing eggs as a projectile is more directly connected to the Plumbinator.

Side B: Extend-o-Arm

Not something it was shown to have, but it did have those plunger arms, which could make it distinct from Bunsen.

Up B: Rockets

Same as Bunsen and Robo Koopa.

Down B: Flyswatter

Naturally.

Final Smash: Robo Battle

Plumbinator and Robo Koopa will grow gigantic and battle across the stage, doing lots of damage in the process.

Entrance: Mario and Luigi will power up into it.

Taunts: Up, Mario and Luigi will raise their plungers into the air. Side, they will stumble back and forth, Luigi losing his balance. Down, Luigi will produce a pair of scissors and snip them.

Kirby Hat: Mario's head gear.

Kart: Basically a two-seater car based on the armor.

Special Move: The car will break apart and be able to drive separately, with Mario and Luigi driving each.

Spirit Battle: A giant battle on Wily Castle, with Bunsen.

Victory Screen: The two brothers will stand triumphant over Robo Koopa's parts.

Losing Screen: Mario and Luigi will sit up from rubble matching their suit's rubble in the cartoon.

Color Swaps: The standard appearance, Mario's colors swapped for Luigi's colors, Peach's colors, Daisy's colors, Wario's colors, Waluigi's colors, Donkey Kong's colors, and Bowser's colors.

Robo Koopa

One of the final and most epic episodes of the series proved to be a parody of various media like Transformers and Power Rangers, shows and movies that featured giant robot battles. Traveling to the high-tech Robo Land, Mario and his companions find themselves under attack by King Koopa in a giant robotic suit of armor.

Calling himself Robo Koopa, this form proves to be among the most memorable of King Koopa’s various disguises. The suit comes equipped with a number of high-tech weapons that he uses in combat against the Mario brothers, spreading a reign of terror across Robo Land.

In battle, he will be heavier and stronger than regular King Koopa, but also faster due to his enhanced leg armor. His moveset will pull from the various abilities his suit grants him, demonstrated in multiple battles.

Likelihood rating: Non-game

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:

Next up is Bunsen, the robotic assistant of Dr. Nerdnik from the episode "Robo Koopa," the same episode that Robo Koopa appears in. Koopa takes her creator captive and forces him to build his robot suit, leading to her joining forces with Mario and his friends to take him down, eventually supplying them with the Plumbinator suit. In the episode, she is shown with extendable arms that she can use to hack into computer systems and perform all sorts of engineering work, she can also produce drills from her chest. I'd say it's also fair to include everything the Plumbinator does, including a plunger sword, a flyswatter, and the ability to shoot eggs.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Drill

Her chest will open up to reveal a spinning automated drill that will damage anyone who got too close to her.

Side B: Extend-o-Arm

She will send her arm extending forward, her fingers extending as well. Anything it connects with, her fingers will mess with, causing them to start glitching out as if she just messed with their programming. (Should provide some fodder for MatPat and other theorists, I imagine)

Up B: Rockets

Naturally, I think it only makes sense for her to use the rockets used by the Plumbinator and Robo Koopa to take off into the air.

Down B: Flyswatter

In what I hope was a reference to Mario Paint (though I'm pretty sure the episode predates it by a few years), she will produce a flyswatter from her chest just like the Plumbinator does and smack a character out of the air with it.

Final Smash: Plumbinator

Mario and Luigi already have it going on, but really, what else would be more fitting for her to use than the partial product of her own hands.

Entrance: She will pop up from the manhole she appears from in the episode.

Taunts: Up, she will hold up a device and fiddle with it, her fingers extending. Side, Dr. Nerdnik will appear and adjust some of her joints. Down, she will crouch down low, compressing herself slightly.

One of the most memorable alter egos of King Koopa, from one of the most memorable episodes, was the episode "Robo Koopa"'s titular Robo Koopa. Parodying various shows such as Transformers and Super Sentai, the episode featured Bowser having built himself a mech suit, forcing the Mario brothers to build one of their own and fight him. In the episode, we see him fire the show's version of Bullet Bills, release bombs from the suit's toe, create a cage of lasers, stomp around, fire a fist from its chest, and fly around with a rocket pack. Certainly enough for me.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Chest Fist

One of his main offensive maneuvers, it seems only right to include it here. His chest panel will open up and a large fist will fire outward as a projectile.

Side B: Laser Cage

He will use his suit's laser array to create a cage around a select opponent and trap them inside. Trying to move around and touch the walls will deal damage.

Up B: Rocket Pack

His rocketpack will fire up and let him fly into the air to recover.

Down B: Toe Bomb

His robotic toe will open up and release a bomb that will roll forward for a short time before exploding.

Final Smash: Bullet Bill Barrage

Robo Koopa will fly to the foreground, at which point he will proceed to fire Bullet Bills as they appear in the show at the stage.

Entrance: He will burst from the floor.

Taunts: Up, he will raise his fist into the air and proclaim the age of robots. Side, he will fiddle with some of his programming. Down, he will toss a laser cage in his hand.
