What if Captain Toad was in Smash Bros?

Hey everyone!
There isn't much news about Nintendo at the moment, so I've found a few ideas about what character we could expect in Smash Bros. as DLC!
Here is a drawing I have done which could picture him in-game!

Captain Toad is a cute adventurer who could be included in Smash Bros!
After looking around at a few message boards and coming up with a few of my own ideas, here could be his move set for the game:
Neutral Special: Headlamp - Charges his headlamp for a powerful burst of electricity!
Side Special: Minecart- Similar to Fox's Side Special except Captain Toad rides a minecart across the stage! It could also be similar to Villager's, where he rides a minecart instead of a rocket!
Up Special: Backpack Jump - Like Bowser Jr's Up Special, Captain Toad removes his backpack and jumps high into the sky!
Down Special: Pluck - Similar to Peach's Down Special, Captain Toad plucks from the ground either a turnip, green star or diamond! The turnip can be a little powerful, the green star can be medium power and the Diamond can have launching power! Like Peach's move though, there is a 1/5 chance of a green star and a 1/20 chance of a diamond. the rest will be turnips!
Final Smash! Pickaxe Slash - Similar to Link, Kirby and Toon Link's Final Smash, Captain Toad is given a Pickaxe and then swings it multiple times (maybe 9 5% attacks) and then a final slash (Maybe about 20%) which could have extreme knockback!
Wouldn't it be great if Captain Toad were in Smash?
I'll be back later with more Nintendo News!

More DLC Characters on the Horizon for Smash Bros.

Hey everyone!

In a recent 'Famitsu' column written by Sakurai, Source Gaming translated that more DLC Characters are on the way to Super Smash Bros. 4! These will be based on results from the fighter ballot and they'll continue to make more 'until the end', as they can't keep a development team together forever.
This is great news! So I thought about 3 more character to add to my old 7 picks (found here: What Do You Think (1)) to make a Top 10!
Let's get started!
First up is Shovel Knight!

There has been so much popularity around the Shovel Knight game, which is out now on the e-Shop! Fans have even created artwork of him for the game!

Also, fans are backed by the developers of the game, Yacht Club Gaming, who would love to see him in the game! Could we see him in Smash Bros soon?

 

Up next is another Star Fox Character!

I could have picked 2 characters for this spot, Peppy or Slippy, and I chose Peppy as a new Smash bros character!
Firstly, Peppy is a unique character as there aren't any rabbits in Smash Bros, whereas a Green Frog does have similarities to Yoshis and even King R Kool, who we could see in the game also. Peppy is also a more likable character, as is his happy and cheerful appearance! If we could have both peppy and Slippy, I would want to have both also!
Finally is a Pokémon which should return!

From what I've seen (I could be wrong), there aren't many 'Gen 2' Pokémon in Smash Bros as Pokeballs, Master Balls or playable characters, so I would like to see Meganium in the game! Meganium looks different from other characters and is one of the starter Pokémon's fully evolved. He also isn't included in the game yet, neither are any other forms of him. Plus, there aren't any grass type playable characters in Smash Bros, so Meganium would be a worthy choice!
I'll be back later with more Nintendo news!

So Many Yoshi amiibo Patterns!

Hey everyone!
Yoshi's Woolly World is a game already filled to the brim with cuteness, so what could make it even more cute?
How about supporting over 40 of your Smash Bros amiibo and getting a Yoshi design when you tap your amiibo? Now that is cute!
On the Nintendo of Europe website, 5 amiibo patterns have been added!
First is Mario!

Next is Link...

Then there is Donkey Kong...

And the two you may haven't seen yet include:
Kirby...

and Toad!

Yoshi's Woolly World is only a few days away!
Check the timer out below for how long there is to go!


Also, as a side note, my old blog has hit 20,000 views! Yay!

What Do You Think? - Returning 64 Stages

Hey everyone!

I'm back again for another 'What Do You Think?', where I ask you a question and you can say what you think!
Last week, I listed characters I would like to see back in Smash Bros, such as Wolf and the Ice Climbers, and completely new characters such as Captain Toad and an Inkling! Get involved with 'What Do You Think' and don't be shy to leave a comment!
Today's question is:

What Smash Bros. 64 stages would you like to see return in Smash Bros. 4? 

This is because of the inclusion of Dream Land in Smash Bros 4!
Now, we already know that 2 stages are returning, these include:
Peach's Castle...

and Hyrule Castle!

If Nintendo were to include any other stages from the Original Smash bros, what would you like to see?
I've handpicked 3 stages of my choice!
First is Yoshi's Island!

This is because of the new Yoshi game, Yoshi's Woolly World, releasing this Thursday! Wouldn't it be great to see more Yoshi in Smash Bros!
Up next is a Star Fox stage, and it is Sector Z!

Sector Z could be included because of the new game, Star Fox Zero! The game's title has a 'Z' in it and so does this stage! Could this course return?
The last stage I think could be included is the 'Mushroom Kingdom' stage!

Mario is celebrating his 30th birthday this year, and we could commemorate Mario's 30th birthday with this returning stage! (all of these photos are from SmashWiki)
Any courses I missed? Do you not want to see any more 64 stages? Agree or Disagree?
Leave a comment!
See you next week with another 'What Do You Think?'
Bye!
