SMASH 150 - 009 - CAPTAIN TOAD

Description

Toad was included in this project because he was in a previous project and no man left behind but Captain Toad is included because he might be a contender for a new Mario character now that he's cemented his place in the main Mario series AND had his very own spin-off!

Captain Toad in Smash
Unlike previous Smash projects I won't be offering up a specific moveset with newcomers, because there are one hundred and fifty characters but I will jot down a few notes of what could contribute to a moveset.
One of the main gimmicks of Captain Toad's games is that he can't jump, due to the huge backpack. This wouldn't be very economical in a Smash game, but what about giving him a really small jump and making him quite a heavy character UNTIL you use a special move that involves pulling things out of the backpack and throwing them! Maybe a giant turnip, a Piranha Sprout that spits seeds until you throw it, maybe a...smaller turnip? And each object thrown increases your mobility but there is a finite number of them per stock.
That's about the best I've come up with.

It is very likely, now that Toadette's default clothes have become her explorer outfit, that she might be an alternate model and while I did draw alternate model characters for existing Smashers (Alph, Male Wii Fit Trainer for example,) I decided against it for speculative newcomers because that then becomes speculation on top of speculation. It's two degrees of separation and I had more important characters to include!
Which is to say that I already had drawn Toadette but when I foud more characters I wanted she was the first to go: professorfandango.deviantart.c…

Captain Toad in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
It's a great game! More of a puzzler than a platformer but a fine game to give Toad the starring role in.
That, and his continued patronage of the Mario series makes me wonder at what point Captain Toad will usurp regular Toad as the spin-off mushroom man?
