Welcome back to Ignitus' Wisdom! Today, we tackle what I consider the most WTH fighter in Smash. Not because they're bad, but because I had no idea how Sakurai and company would make it work. I'm talking about Duck Hunt. So let's get to it!
Spyro: Uh, why is there a dog on the field? And why is it laughing at me?
Ignitus: That's the dog from Duck Hunt.
Spyro: Oh! Now I recognize it! Ancestors, I cannot count the number of times I wanted to shoot that annoying thing any time I missed a duck. I don't care if it came to life and went all Duck Season on me, that 8-bit cackle always drove me nuts. Too bad its just an urban legend.
Ignitus: Actually you can shoot the dog, but not in Duck Hunt. In a game called Barker Bill's Trick Shooting, the dog appears a target you can hit, but you aren't supposed to.
Spyro: Huh. Interesting.
Ignitus: But back to the point. It may look like you're just fighting the Dog and the Duck, but this is actually a trio. Somewhere there is someone with a Zapper Gun helping out in the fight.
Spyro: Duly noted. Let's see if he's just as annoying in three dimensions.
