GalacticPetey
Donkey Kong
There's data for him on the Brawl disc. Sakurai was considering him at some point. Unlike Pichu who doesn't have an data at all. Young Link doesn't have any either but Toon Link is essentially Young Link so it doesn't matter.Shy Guy said:The way I heard it, Dr. Mario we removed for being to similar to Mario.GalacticPetey said:Personally, I'd be fine if we got another Mario.Magikrazy said:I actually liked Dr. Mario's inclusion in Melee. I was like "Two Marios? That's interesting. Cool".
And Dr. Mario may not be too far-fetched. He was intended for Brawl alongside Mewtwo and Roy but was cut due to time. In addition, he will not be an alternate costume. Sakurai says if a costume has even the slightest difference, they would become a separate character. Lucina is an example of this. She was intended to be a costume but sakurai tweaked her ever so slightly that she became her own character.
Because Doc would use pills and the tornado, as well as have a different fsmash, that's different enough for Sakurai to consider him his own thing. Sakurai even stated that Dr. Mario shooting fire would look odd.
Basically, don't be surprised if Doc ends up his own character again. It's either separate character or not playable at all. No alternate costume.
Young Link and Toon Link have a few more unique moves plus they have different weights and speeds. They're not nearly as clone-ish as doc or Pichu.Baby Man said:Eh, I'm personally against Sakurai's mantra of even the slightest different constitutes as own character.
But then again I'm a Young Link user and a Toon Link user so I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite :P
