"Booyah!"

As one of Nintendo's newest original characters, the Inklings have quickly risen through the ranks as one of their best creations.

The Inklings may not have a great level of characterisation to them, but it's the level of customisation that makes them so great.

Players have complete control over how the Inklings look, from changing their hairstyle to choosing what clothes they wear. The huge amount of choice for each option helps make this feature a big deal.

Really, the Inklings are a fantastic way of portraying the player's own character.

Even in their default state, the Inklings stand out from any other characters that have come out in the past generation, and that makes them really memorable.

It says a lot that the new Smash chose to show fans that the Inklings were new fighters before anyone else. That’s when you know you’re a big deal.

Even with those awful adverts, the Inklings are still Nintendo characters that are a force to be reckoned with.
