10 Characters We Want For The Next Smash Bros

2. Little Mac

2 Mac Remember the 2009 Punch-Out game for the Nintendo Wii? No? Neither does anyone else, but everyone still knows Little Mac thanks to the 1987 game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. Getting Mario to fight Iron Mike might seem a little strange (and I'm tempted to say one sided, even if Mario can produce fireballs) but Little Mac would be right at home. Admittedly this addition shouldn't be made as well as Hitmonchan, but if I'm putting together a wish list I may as well cover my bases and Punch-Out was a NES and SNES classic. That star punch would be a great final smash and we even saw Mario and Bowser jump into what looked like a boxing ring in the game's first full trailer. Is this a hint that Little Mac may make an appearance? We'll have to wait to find out.
