Let's devote a separate post entirely about a hypothetical Sega mascot fighter in the same vein as Sega & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
Of course, the Daytona Hornet should be playable.
We've got obvious ones such as Sonic, Tails, Eggman, NiGHTs, Beat, Akira, AiAi, Vyse, Alex Kidd, andDanica Patrick
What chances do Ryo, Bayonetta, Ecco, Gunstar Red?
And what about really obscure characters who have only a few entries like Tempo and Dynamite Headdy?

I really hope we get a SEGA crossover fighting game where Hornet is playable, think Fighters Megamix but with the roster of an All-Stars games, and then some. There's a lot of untapped potential with a roster for a crossover game featuring SEGA character, imagine a game where Sonic, Hatsune Miku, Segata Sanshiro, Ecco the Dolphin, Bin and Pin (or Bean), Football Manager, Jack Frost, Arle, Bayonetta, Kazuma Kiryu and (of course) Hornet are all playable. It would be crazy.

Enough tangents about inferior fighting games (one of which doesn't even exist), let's talk about Cars in Smash.
While it was a good film, we're not getting any non-video game characters in Smash, so it won't happen unfortunately.I'm pretty sure you already know that I support Putt-Putt, and obviously Hornet, I also support a Stunt Race FX rep. While I would prefer Porky, the Devil Car a is car so it isn't too bad of a choice either. I'd also like to see the previously mentioned car from Wipeout, so we can get what an F-Zero character should've been.For a car from non-video game franchises, Lightning McQueen would be my first choice (I like the films too much), but I also think Herbie and the Truck from Monster Trucks (yes that film exists) could be interesting, the former is iconic, while the latter has a lot of moveset potential as it has a monster inside of it.
Finally there's real life cars, you've sold me on having the Beetle from Beetles Adventure Racing in the game. I'd be happy with GLA, though I'd prefer if it was an echo fighter or an alt. costume of the Standard Kart. For other games, Gran Turismo and Forza have potential, but unlike Mario they don't have a car that's frequently associated with them, as they keep changing which car is used in the marketing for each game, and often use multiple for each game. I can totally see the Fiera being used to represent Ridge Racer, though I'd expect them to represent the series using Reiko Nagase.
For the GLA, would you prefer it with 8-Bit Mario inside (like in SMM), without the roof (like in MK8), or a normal GLA?
