Although everyone knows who Mario is, I didn't think my daughter would want to play as a mustached-wearing plumber so I hacked the game to make it star my daughter instead.

One of the funnest parts of the Smash Bros. series is seeing what video game characters will join the party and become unlockable. They're usually from Nintendo games, but there have been others, in the past, from other companies like Sonic the Hedgehog, Solid Snake and the recent announcemen
