Sakurai did a fine job in this game. I have to give him credit.
This was it. The doors to the Smash Mansion were closed and locked. All hopeful options, like Pichu, Ivysaur, Squirtle, Young Link, Wolf, Snake, Ice Climbers, Knuckles, and Tails were locked out of the mansion forever. Sonic was disappointed, but knew that he can see his friends when he's not fighting. Zelda shed a tear when she found out that Young Link was left behind in Melee. Fox, Falco, Meta Knight, and Lucario saluted a picture of Solid Snake. Ness, Lucas, and Toon Link were trying to hold back tears as they remembered their friends, the Ice Climbers, who were also left behind. Pikachu and Charizard frowned as they reminisced about their faithful trainer Red who had left along with their friends, Squirtle and Ivysaur, as well as Pikachu's younger sister Pichu. As for Wolf's remembrance, Ganondorf, Bowser, and King Dedede had a small smile on their face when they thought about the pranks they played with him. Master Hand floated into the room.
"To all of you...I'm truly sorry...but this sadness won't last. I've opened up a portal that will let the characters come back, but not battle."
Some were happy, like Zelda, the younger fighters, and the Pokemon, but Fox, Falco, Meta Knight, and Lucario weren't really enthusiastic. Nevertheless, Master Hand continued.
"Here with me, I have the final characters to join our lineup. Come on in, you two."
A boy and a woman entered the room. The boy was wearing all white and had red eyes, but no shoes. He had an interesting blade in his hand. The woman was wearing a black jumpsuit with her back exposed and had four guns: two in her hand, two on her shoes. Her hair was pitch black and she was wearing glasses.
"Everyone, meet-"
"Let me guess," Ganondorf said calmly, "This is another Fire Emblem character." Roy, Marth, Lucina, Ike, and both Robins shot him a glare. However, some other smashers looked disappointed as well.
"Well, not both of them. This boy's name is Corrin. Let's just say he's here because this was the path he chose."
"Who's the girl?" Pit asked.
"That, Pit, is an Umbra Witch," Palutena responded.
"You best watch your tongue, dear..." the woman responded. "I have a name, you know."
"Well, what is it?"
"Bayonetta."
Meanwhile, Lucina walked up to Corrin.
"Is there a female version of you too?" Corrin blushed, but it wasn't because of Lucina.
"Y-Yes, her name is Kamui, and-"
"SORRY I'M LATE!"
A girl who dressed exactly like Corrin ran into the room with the same sword in hand. She looked at Corrin and smiled.
"Hey, Corrin! What's up?"
Corrin turned redder and was about to speak, but was tongue-tied, making Lucina chuckle. Lucario walked to Corrin and Kamui.
"I sense a Dragon-like aura in them..."
"You're correct, Lucario," said Master Hand, "Where they come from, they have the power of the first dragons."
Pikachu and Charizard's ears perked up and Mewtwo teleported to them.
"Last time I checked, the first dragons were Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite."
He eyed them.
"But they don't seem to be Pokemon..."
"Yeah..." Kamui said, "So?"
Charizard walked over with Pikachu and Jigglypuff bounced over.
"Another dragon?!" Corrin yelled. Charizard growled at the sound of someone misjudging his type. Again. Mewtwo laughed.
"In our world, you two are helpless."
"Yeah, you wouldn't exactly survive a day in my world either," Kamui said.
"Care to test that theory in a battle?"
"You're on!"
Meanwhile, Corrin was staring at Kamui, blushing madly. It wasn't that he was scared; they were practically the same person. Bayonetta noticed the blushing this time.
"Something wrong, dear?" Bayonetta asked, feigning concern, which caused Kamui to turn to him worried, thus seeing the blush on his face.
"N-NO! I'm just not used to this place."
Bayonetta wasn't easily fooled, but Master Hand was.
"Then before you battle, why don't you walk around."
"I can give them a tour!" Lucina offered.
"I guess I'll come with you..." Ike said, but not for the tour. Even Marth, Roy, and both Robins were laughing.
"What's so funny?!" Ike said, turning a bit red. Lucina giggled while Bayonetta kept a straight face. Master Hand left, and the competitors dispersed. Lucina and Ike led Corrin, Bayonetta, Kamui around the mansion.
"You guys are gonna LOVE it here! It's really fun!"
Ike stayed silent; Corrin and Kamui were excited. They passed by Samus' room. The door was open a crack. Lucina passed by her room and found Samus stretching with the Wii Fit Trainer and her male version. She was demonstrating a new pose for Samus to try. Ike instantly smiled.
"How's that?"
"Looks easy enough..."
"OK! Let's try it together!"
Lucina cleared her throat, thus getting the attention of the three.
"Why, hello! You must be the new competitors! I've been looking forward to your arrival!"
"You're the Wii Fit Trainers!" Kamui said excitedly.
"We sure are! You're Kamui and Corrin!"
They were both breathless. Kamui shook Corrin excitedly. "They know our names!"
"Looks like you two have fans..." Lucina said.
Corrin looked at Samus. "You're Ms. Samus Aran, the space bounty hunter!"
She smiled at the formal referral. She then caught a glimpse of Bayonetta, who was eyeing her suspiciously.
"Who's she?"
The second Samus finished her question, Bayonetta pointed one of her guns at her.
"I'm sure you darlings are very polite, but it's utterly disrespectful to refer to me outside of my name."
Ike ran in front of her gun.
"Hey. I don't care if you're new here. If you hurt her, I won't be afraid to send you flying."
The room was still as Ike stared down the barrel of Bayonetta's gun. She put it away, smiling.
"Bold, now are we?"
Ike still held his glare.
"You must have feelings for this lady, now don't you?"
"I do...I'm not willing to let her gain a single scratch as long as I'm around."
Samus blushed as he said these words.
"That's what a true gentleman is like..."
Male Wii Fit Trainer walked up to them.
"Shall we continue?"
"Oh, don't mind me," Bayonetta said, "Continue."
"Hey, Ike..." Samus said charmingly, "Care to join us?"
Ike grinned wide and took off his sword and began to stretch with the three. Meanwhile, Lucina was leading the new fighters down the hall. She stopped in front of a room that was silent on the inside, yet there were three people in it.
"This is the silent room...this is where people go to get some peace and quiet."
"Who are they?" Bayonetta asked.
"Those are the three residents of the room: Mr. Game and Watch, Villager, and Pac-Man. They're the quietest in the entire mansion, but they can pack a punch."
Thet walked in and three noticed them instantly. Villager and Pac-Man maintained their smile while Game and Watch stood expressionless. Corrin examined the latter.
"So...a piece of paper made it into the game?"
This time, Mr. Game and Watch landed a 9 with his Judge attack on Corrin, sending him into the wall. Lucina ran over to help.
"You see, he hates being called a piece of paper..."
"I can see that."
Meanwhile, Kamui was enraged and was charging up a blue orb with her power to send at Game and Watch, but when she released it, the Villager pocketed it. Bayonetta smirked while Kamui was confused.
"Where'd it go?"
Villager unleashed it back at Kamui and played on the ground with a stick. Bayonetta helped her off the wall.
"After I fight that cat thing, me and Corrin are coming after you two," she said grunting.
"Maybe we should go..." Lucina said, leading them down the hall.
"This is the swordsmen room, where you guys can go to hone your skills."
She opened the door to find Link, Marth, Roy, both Robins, and Cloud. Kamui's jaw dropped.
"Who's that?!"
"That's Cloud. He was before you."
"He's-he's-" Her eyes skimmed his well-toned abs under his shirt and his bulging muscles on his arms.
"Look at the way he swings his sword," Kamui said dreamily, which made Corrin red with jealousy. Bayonetta noticed yet again.
"You won't be able to understand him...he speaks Japanese like Marth and Roy."
Kamui ignored her and was dragged away by Lucina to the next room.
"This is the relaxation room or the Pokemon room." Inside the room were Pikachu battling Charizard, Jigglypuff sleeping, Greninja concealed in the water, Lucario meditating and Mewtwo staring in the sky.
"It's like a nature room!" Corrin said, keeping his shade of red.
"Are you all right, Corrin? You're completely red..."
"I'm fine," Corrin lied.
"Anyway, I've gotta go practice my swordsmanship. I'll let you guys explore."
"I'm coming too!" Kamui yelled, chasing after Lucina into the swordsman room. Corrin sighed and laid down on the grass next to Mewtwo.
"You seem to have feelings for Kamui, now do you?"
He gasped, getting a grin out of Mewtwo.
"We all know how this is going to end...you confess before it's too late," Mewtwo predicted, "I remember an Umbreon who had feelings for an Espeon, but was afraid..."
Before he could continue, Corrin rushed out and joined the swordsmen in the training room.
