Of course, we can’t ignore the Mario or Kirby types. Mario is your reliable friend who always shows up with pizza. He’s not flashy, but he does everything okay—great for newcomers who just want to jab and throw. Kirby, on the other hand, is the adorable puffball who can copy your powers. Using his stone ability to flatten a giant character like Bowser? That never gets old.

Then there’s Pikachu. Fast, cute, and slightly terrifying in the right hands. A good Pikachu player dances around you like a mosquito you can’t swat. It’s a bit infuriating, but you have to respect the hustle.

But wait—what about characters that change the vibe of the whole match? Take Mr. Game & Watch. His animations are literally from 40-year-old LCD screens, and he judges you with a random 9 hammer. Landing that 9 is like winning the lottery while riding a unicycle—pure joy. Or Incineroar, who lumbers around like a wrestling heel. His taunts are basically part of his moveset, and that’s just art.
And can we talk about Steve from Minecraft? Yes, the blocky miner. He can build walls, mine resources, and craft a sword mid-match. It’s absurd. It’s like bringing a shovel to a sword fight and somehow winning. That kind of creative chaos is what makes Smash special.
