| Alrighty, so after going through some wikis and sprite sheets I came up with quite a few ideas. These ideas do replace most enemy summoning moves but hear me out. - Moveset Ideas:
But before I start, based on the above comments I can assume Tanooki statue is now the Down aerial, right? If so then cool!
Aerial ideas:
Forward air = 8-bit Mario kicks forward an ice block from SMB3. The ice block is affected by gravity and will continue to slide over any floor it lands on. They break upon colliding with a wall or an enemy.
Back air = 8-bit Mario does a quick spin and hits behind him with his cape.
Up air = 8-bit Mario kicks a stomped Mechakoopa/Red Shell upwards. (reference to SMW Bowser Battle)
Special ideas:
Down special = Grass Pull
8-bit Mario bends forward and pulls on a grass bush. A random item is pulled out. 8-bit Mario cannot perform attacks while holding an item and can only jump once.
1. Mushroom Block - The item most likely to be picked. Can be thrown and picked up several times. Acts as a normal item after being thrown once. Doesn't deal a lot of damage.
2. Shy Guy - Likely to be picked but not as likely as the Mushroom Block. If it directly hits an enemy after being thrown it will deal average damage and be knocked off the stage. Upon contact with the floor, however, it will start moving forward dealing average damage to anyone that happens to be in it’s way (even 8-bit Mario himself). It can be taken out with a weak attack, though.
3. Bomb - Less likely to appear. It only explodes once it runs out of fuse but it deals great damage and knockback. Timing is essential for this one. Can also hurt 8-bit Mario.
4. Key - Least likely to appear. Upon being picked a Phanto floats into the screen and chases after 8-bit Mario until he gets rid of the key. If a thrown key makes contact with a wall or floor it disappears taking the Phanto with it. If it collides with an opponent it locks onto him/her for 10-15 seconds. The Phanto will then chase the targeted opponent. The Phanto isn’t that fast but deals severe damage and knockback upon contact (this includes 8-bit Mario). The Phanto will disappear once the key comes loose from a targeted opponent.
Throw ideas:
Back Throw: Behind 8-bit Mario, a pipe grows out of the floor in this shape (M = Mario) —-> M -/ OR \- M
The enemy is forced into the lower entrance and is shot out diagonally upwards at the exit. (Basically the cannon pipe from World)
Down Throw: 8-bit Mario stomps his target several times after which the enemy is launched upwards.
Up Throw: 8-bit Mario throws the enemy above him and jump punches the enemy several times as if he/she was a ?-block. A coin comes out with every punch. The enemy is launched upwards after the last punch.
So, what do you guys think? |

So, what do you guys think? The Down Special isn't a bad idea, not at all, but I'm not sure exactly what I think of it. I want to keep the enemy summoning, but not sure if I can fit in the grass pull as well.. Down Throw won't be changed, it's gonna stay his jump, but it might become a multi-jump. Up Throw is a good idea. And the Back Throw is good too. Thank you for the suggestions, I'll keep them in mind. |

| I'm torn between these Down Special ideas. On the one hand, Shaq's idea better represents classic Mario on the whole, with iconic enemies that appeared in multiple games. On the other hand, TaXMaN's idea represents SMB 2, which I stated before I think should have some inclusion, and has the Phanto, one of my favorite Mario enemies, as a really cool mechanic. For me, the best situation is if the two are combined. Maybe 8-Bit Mario pulls the enemies out of the ground before setting them down, and can also pull up the objects TaXMaN suggested? |

| I'm not sure it makes sense for Mario to be summoning Goombas. That's kind of like DK using kremlings or Link using moblins.
However, I know Shaq wants to keep a summoning down special. What if, instead, he pulls a pipe out of the ground which spawns a Shellcreeper, Sidestepper, or (rarely) a Fighter Fly. I feel like that would make more sense canonically - Mario has no problems with those enemies, they're just part of the plumbing job.
Since he's now pulling something out of the ground, maybe throw in Ottsel's idea as well - that is, a small chance to pull a bomb or key instead ala SMB2. |

Well the thing is with the grass pull Down B, Mario actually uses weapons/items he used in an official game. The summoning of enemies is cool and all but it's more of a Bowser thing, really. Iconic or not, enemies are still enemies and should preferably be used as a last resort only. - Lego Shaq wrote:

Completely fine with me. - Lego Shaq wrote:

Duck and Hunter I mean For Duck Hunt, they didn't have a lot to work with so they used everything they could from the original game. 8-bit Mario, on the other hand, has several titles to take moves from. If every move can be canon why not make it that way? - Lego Shaq wrote:

Sorry but I don't see how that's a solid reason. Look, I just want to keep the summoning. I really don't think it's that much of an issue, and it's not like all Crusade characters stay true to their canon. |

| Isn't this the same reason that our Pac-Man doesn't use ghosts in his smash attacks?
I know we'd never see scenarios like DK beating up Diddy in 'canon', but would you ever see Mario calling a Goomba, who willingly walks over and attacks Bowser? (within the 8-bit realm, we're not talking about Paper Mario here) It just seems so... weird to me, that Mario would resort to this.
I did mention using Mario Bros enemies instead - the Shellcreepers and Sidesteppers. |

that was my favorite part Like I said, DHD/Duck Hunt didn't have a lot to work with. Thus, moves had to be made up. Sure, not everything is canon in Smash but being able to trace moves of a character to the source is almost like finding an easter egg. At least in my opinion. - Lego Shaq wrote:

The enemy summoning would just seem like a last resort to players outside the forum. But it is your moveset, so your choice. |

| The problem with 8-bit Mario is that there isn't much to go off of for a moveset without resorting to the enemy summoning.
I guess one thing that bodes well for him is that he would be easy enough to sprite, but I'm not really seeing what he would really add to the game. |

Not moveset wise he'd add a classic character that is known by tons of people even in 8-bit form, which is Mario's 2nd most iconic appearance. 8-Bit Mario appeared in a lot of games in a way and he contributed a ton to gaming, and was the star of the Mario Bros that started it all. Gameplay wise, he'd add a unique character that's very random but awesome at stage control, who blends close-up attacks with summoning and can do anything you set your mind to with him. What do you think of the moveset I have here so far at least? |

| I like the suit moves, so that's a bonus. Maybe add a small Mario/big Mario gimmick of some sort?
I don't really like the idea of using enemies for the specials; I think it would be more neat to change the way the power ups work. Possibly so that the form he is in changes his smash attacks, and each special performs a move that transforms him into those different forms.
I think 8-Bit Mario would be better off as an assist trophy or something like that, however. |

Because I kinda disagree, feel that's a bit too overboard. Yeah, I wanted to add a gimmick like that; maybe at 50% or higher he becomes Big Mario, after being Small Mario for the match so far? Luckily the game doesn't have assist trophies or anything resembling it that 8-Bit Mario could fit into so I'm not worried about that. |

| I'm saying that the specials should each be associated with a power up. So, Down special is the boot. So, after using the down special you're playing as Mario in the boot, of course with a somewhat limited moveset, and you could do similar things for all the other powers.
Neutral B could be an animation where he grows suddenly and shrinks back to regular size, to bring back his standard moveset.

No I don't think so, that's way too much suits/power-ups. His specials so fair are really unique imo and I don't want to change that. But from what I see you mean his Neutral B should be him growing and starts using the suits for specials, and not using Neutral B makes you use the moveset seen in my thread? |
