Creator Notes:

Smash Bros. has become quite the big event, hasn’t it? So much wild speculation in the air, so many wishes fulfilled and unfulfilled. But how do the characters themselves feel about the whole process of finding new combatants? Check in with the next few comics to see!

I came up with today’s comic a few weeks back, but Peach’s reveal on the Smash Bros. site last week was a bit of a pickle. The original dialogue was Bowser berating Mario for voting for someone who was almost certainly going to be included, and Mario saying he wanted to make sure of it. I tweaked that dialogue a little so hopefully that’s not too distracting.

Poor Toad. He’s one of the most-wanted representatives of the Mario series for the next game. Is he someone you’d like to see in Smash, or are there enough Mario characters?
