Do you count Smash Bros. as a Mario spin-off?

[yamirah]

I want to know what you guys think.I don't see why some people count it as a spin-off,so no for me.

 

[Contra(dictory)]

It's about a bunch of toys that happen to be Nintendo characters fighting. Zero relevance to their series.

 

[New Super Mario]

No.... why would it be.

 

[DragonFreak]

Yeah, it's just all Nintendo together fighting. If anything, it's a spinoff of Kirby since they are made by the same people.

 

[Baby Mario Bloops]

Yeah, it's just all Nintendo together fighting. If anything, it's a spinoff of Kirby since they are made by the same people.

...no, that would be like saying that Donkey Kong Country Returns is a spin-off of Metroid Prime because the same people make those games.

Smash Bros is just in it's own category, and is not a spin-off of any of the series. It is it's own series.

 

[Ray Trace]

It's a Nintendo cross-over so no

 

[SonicMario]

Not really. The Mario series being the flagship franchise is a big part of it. But all-in-all it isn't the center of attention. So it can't really be considered a spin-off within the Mario franchise.

SSB is much bigger then that.

 

[Zae]

no

it has nothing to do with mario, its just nintendos crossover fighting game.

simple as that.

 

[yamirah]

No.... why would it be.

I don't know why it would but I see many people call it a Mario spin-off.

 

[Time Turner]

Smash Bros is a blend of just about everything Nintendo. Mario's just one of the many ingredients.

 

[Stargazing]

i just realized i clicked the wrong option. whoops.
anyways, i think its a spinoff of the many different nintendo games. it has zero relevance to any of the series (well, the ones i remember).
