The Mario RPGs in general. Dividing them up in this scenario is like making me choose a favorite child, but I suppose Mario & Luigi has it slightly worse than Paper Mario at the moment, ironically since the actual series itself is doing way better than Paper Mario. But in terms of Smash representation M&L needs it more.
 
I shouldn't be surprised by people clamouring for more Mario RPG representation in Smash, but I still am. I thought for sure the more popular spin-offs: Mario Kart and Mario Party, get the popular votes, but I should have known better since the viewership of the wiki tends to favour the RPGs (the Mario Awards is a very huge indication of this: look at how often Sticker Star gets Fail Awards if it's eligible to be voted).

In any case, I voted Mario Party since I am an advocate for that series generally getting more Smash representation, and I feel that there are many things in favour of this:
- If one were to view Smash as a celebration of history of Nintendo, Mario Party easily qualifies for being Nintendo's longest-running party video game.
- If one were to view Smash as a showcase of unique things within Nintendo, Mario Party's board game-minigame aspect is very unique to it since no other Nintendo video game has it as a central feature.
- If one were to view Smash as a popularity showcase, Mario Party is a best-selling Mario spin-off, more so that many of the series that have playable representation (I believe it even outsold Metroid).
- If one were to view Smash as a series on how elements from Nintendo can be best incorporated into a fighting game, Mario Party has a rich history to draw from and could eventually find something to leave its mark in the Nintendo series.

As it stands, Mario Party is hugely underrepresented in Smash as it is, with nary a stage or decent trophy/music representation. Every other specific spin-off listed have much better representation (even Mario & Luigi, in my opinion) than Mario Party, so now it's Mario Party to shine in Smash Bros.!

Thank you for reading.
 
Paper Mario is a pipe dream of mine.

I think the thing that hurts him the most for DLC is that he'll need to get in with a stage, but there already happens to be a Paper Mario stage, so unless they find another location from the series, it ain't happening.
 
Paper Mario. We already have a PM stage, but we can get Prism Island or something.
 
Which Super Smash Bros. Ultimate newcomer are you looking forward to the most?
*Inkling
*Ridley
*Simon
*King K. Rool
*Isabelle
*Incineroar
*Piranha Plant
*Daisy
*One of the other Echo Fighters
*I'm not interested in any newcomers in Ultimate.

As dumb as it is, Piranha Plant. But I'll try them all out to see who works with my play style. I can see Isabelle fitting in.
 
Excited for pretty much all of them other than Inkling, Isabelle, and Incineroar. I don't have any of their games, so I feel nothing toward them, but I know others are happy for them.

I have nothing against the letter I, I swear
 
Although Piranha Plant is indeed the best addition as a playable newcomer, I voted for Daisy, as a sign of support since Daisy is also the character that people like to lampoon.

Thank you for reading.
 
Chrom and Dark Samus, since they were among my most requested. Definitely Piranha Plant not counting Echo Fighters.
 
is there a specific reason Daisy is the only echo fighter on the poll
 
ah cool
also im planning on adding chrom to my mains. and incineroar because the more footage i see of him the more i wanna try him out even though i wasnt really hyped at his initial reveal
 
Isabelle.

My second most wanted character, I'm so glad she got in and now she's gonna be one if my mains. Even though Bandana Dee is my most wanted, I do love Isabelle a lot more, she's just become a part of this group of characters that I would consider my own favorites at this point.

Also I'm themed after her right now so...

Though Piranha Plant, Ridley, K Rool and Ken are other newcomers I'm really hyped for, so I'll all try them out too.
 
Piranha Plant without a doubt.
 
King K. Rool.
I really liked all of his specials, which references each DKC game (except his down B). His reveal trailer was the best one yet.

I'm also looking forward for Inkling, Daisy, Ken, and Piranha Plant.
 
I approve of the decision to separate Daisy from the other Echo Fighters, based on how the polls racked up votes. The "other Echo Fighters" vote counts is far fewer than Daisy alone, with a 1:6 ratio (22 votes for Others, 132 votes for Daisy as of this writing).

Thank you for reading.
