Just treat it as a reference to Baby Bowser. Much like how Peach's Daisy costume is quite clearly not her. Another idea is to give Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings 2 costumes each. Maybe do a Dry Bones style akin to Dry Bowser?
Another option could be to give every character 8 palettes, but that would add up to 64 color slots for Bowser Jr., which is quite ridiculous.
I'd say 2 per is better. Or no more than 4. The issue with 8 unique alts is that it's hard to handle. I imagine this is why a lot of characters didn't get 16 besides Little Mac. Not counting 3rd parties who are only allowed so many color changes depending upon the company. That's why Pac-Man and Sonic's are mostly trash. It's why Cloud doesn't have really good color changes. MegaMan, Ryu, and Bayonetta have fairly decent or really good ones, but that's it. Even a select few regular characters like Ganondorf don't have really heavy changes bar his hair sometimes. I imagine that palette changes heavily depends upon who owns the copyright of the character, which does include 1st and 2nd party characters. Movesets are generally given more freedom to work with. I do find it weird that with Namco-Bandai there, that Pac-Man had such bad costumes, but I do get their point. He's an iconic yellow ball with arms and legs. Gotta have the yellow. Ms. Pac-Man not being there is odd, but that could be a conscious decision of not having two forms. All the female alts are given half the costumes, so that could be an argument to keep Ms. Pac-Man out(oddly enough, I never thought about the whole gender ratio for alts till now when talking about Pac-Man's costume choices).
I could see removing the hair piece working for the final costume, but not a good coloring. Although a Mecha-Koopa would still be the funniest reference that could be made, if only cause robotic counterparts have driven aerial vehicles in games(Mecha Sonic in Sonic & Knuckles does this, and there's some argument if Eggman may be a robot in some adaptions, separate and made by Robotnik). Only issue is clearly the body type, but there's no reason they can't change his proportions to be essentially a robo-Bowser Jr. Heck, just make it a fun OC like Giga Bowser is, and you got a perfect last costume. I mean, there's more than one way to do it. The reason for the robot form is to help separate it from any other form, since it'd be very distinct. Just having the coloring match the Mecha Koopas would work. It also would help when a Metal Cap is put on, which already made a few characters not super easy to tell apart(albeit, they weren't till Smash 4 which bothered to actually give them a shade of color, but no character shared a near identical body clone-wise until 4 as well. I'm pretty sure Dark Pit forced the new Metal design, although I don't think it's the main reason it is there, as you could also have an aura around you representing your team. But if it was an ideal concept and wasn't going to be used, Dark Pit is the reason it had to be used no matter what. It'd be neat if Sakurai mentioned the reason for the metal changes).
I think that may just be wishful thinking.
Well some people are talking about it. I saw some people say that Namco Bandai and Nintendo are hiding something.
s in Cruel Smash...
interesting ideas.
It was already ridiculous that people actually entertained the thoughts about Yoshi being "gone" during Super Smash Bros for 3DS and Wii U speculation era because they didn't get any confirmation on Yoshi for awhile.
Most characters are Nintendo's property alone. However, those who are owned by other companies, such as HAL Laboratory (Kirby), GAME FREAK (Pokemon), INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (Fire Emblem), and Monolith Soft (Xenoblade Chronicles), may require more effort to gain the rights to use.
I'm willing to adapt to Classic Controllers, myself.
What makes it even more ridiculous is that Sakurai also revealed Yoshi pretty late in the Brawl speculation.
That has often been something that has bugged me too. If this is a reference to how Yoshi ends up playing second fiddle a lot or gets absolutely no screen time in a mainstream Super Mario title, no one is laughing.
Someone's played Rumble Arena 2, I see.
Yeah that's the best possible source that I could use for a potential Digimon representative. And I actually have played that game as well, since it has some similarities to the Super Smash Bros. titles. However, unlike with Smash Bros., projectile attacks always have higher priority than direct attacks, and there's a stamina system instead of a damage system as well.
I know about Rumble Arena 2.
Let's just remember that Sakurai is human, just like the rest of us.
