2. Crash Bandicoot
At one point in time, Crash Bandicoot was so synonymous with Sonys PlayStation console that appearing on a Nintendo platform would be unheard of. However, since Naughty Dog stopped developing the series, it has appeared on the Nintendo DS, GameCube and Wii so it seems a Smash Bros. appearance is no longer entirely unrealistic. Crashs spin-attack would have to be his go-to move, but the TNT boxes from the original games would also make useful throwable weapons. The Witch Doctor Aku Aku could also make an appearance, perhaps as a Final Smash move or even just as a new Assist Trophy. If Crash Bandicoot was included, he would surely have to appear as his original design - rather than the much-criticised version developed by Radical Entertainment. Another of Marios great console rivals successfully made the transition to Smash Bros. in the shape of Sonic, so theres nothing to stop another from crashing the party.
