Super Smash Bros: 10 Game Franchises We NEED To See

10. Worms

Worms is a franchise that can certainly match Super Smash Bros in terms of offering a mix of outrageous carnage and entertainment. Using combinations of exploding sheep, concrete donkeys, old women and holy hand grenades to blow opposing teams into smithereens has always been psychotically satisfying, particularly if said teams contain players that want to drill and blowtorch their way through the terrain rather than go for the kill.

Though it debuted on the Amiga (and subsequently went to PC) back in the 90s, the vast majority of recent Worms games have been released on Nintendo consoles, including a handful of exclusives. The franchise hasn’t really been the same since it made the transition from 2D to 3D, but gamers who once whittled away the hours with bazookas and banana bombs still hold its in high regard.

A Worms character (Boggy B being the default choice as the only named invertebrate of note) would therefore mesh very well with the existing Super Smash Bros cast. By including several of the series’ most iconic weapons in crates, the hilarity could be greatly enhanced by seeing the likes of Mario destroying stages with exploding cartoon weaponry, or Fox McCloud swinging all over the place with a Ninja Rope.

Some of the series’ classic taunts wouldn’t go amiss either. Hearing an enemy worm scream ‘STUUUUUPID’ was an insult that had to be avenged!
