There are so many dissimilar ways that these plans could play off of what was set up inDetective   Pikachu . avowedly , that moving-picture show does nothing to set up the multi - dimensional aspect that would be required for a movie based onSuper Smash Bros. , but that does n’t imply future motion picture could n’t . One of thebest function ofDetective Pikachuis that it sets the microscope stage for amassive   Pokémon universe , but it does n’t spend the time search that world just yet .

Instead , Detective Pikachuleaves the door undecided for aDetective Pikachu sequelas well as likely spinoffs . Of course , one of those spinoffs should be a live - actionSuper Smash Bros.movie . But how would a Nintendo Cinematic Universe play out , and who would make the undercut for a likely Phase 1 of this   enterprise ? We have a few idea .

Pikachu

This should be a no - brainer plus sinceDetective Pikachualready kick off thelive - actionPokémonuniverse . The eccentric , voiced by Ryan Reynolds in the film , even has a fleshed out personality to help distinguish him from the rest of the Pikachu in that world . This is , of course of action , explain at the end of that movie , but perhaps there ’s a elbow room for the electric discharge to provide the pocket monster with the articulation of Reynolds once again . As a bonus , Jigglypuff is also inDetectivie Pikachu , and could easily make a cameo in aSuper Smash Bros.movie since it too come out as a playable lineament in the original game on Nintendo 64 .

Super Mario

The nerve of Nintendo ca n’t be ignore if there ’s ever aSuper Smash Bros.film on the table . The pudgy pipe fitter known as Mario has a fertile chronicle with the fighting game dealership , and several character fromSmash 64 ’s roll develop from his stomping grounds , the Mushroom Kingdom . Luigi , Yoshi , and even Donkey Kong are all tied to the Heron , but perhaps visiting the domain of Princess Peach should n’t be the first focus . AMario vs Donkey Kongfilm invigorate by the original arcade classic could be a wonderful maraud into the universe for the pair . After all , it would n’t be a Nintendo Cinematic Universe withoutSuper Mario .

Donkey Kong

establish off the idea of aMario vs Donkey Kongorigin picture show , it ’s clear thatDonkey Kong(Nintendo ’s variation of The Incredible Hulk ) would need to be present in aSuper Smash Bros.movie , since it would be ground around a crossing over feature the company ’s cock-a-hoop characters - both literally and figuratively . Donkey Kong   is subject of putting his differences with Mario aside to enter in sporting events , go - kart races , and even parties . If there was a greater scourge to the population of Nintendo , Donkey Kong would be one of the first to step up to the challenge .

Gamers have want a proper plastic film base onThe Legend of Zeldasince the biz first debut on the NES back in 1986 . There have been rumors   that a live - action take on the series was going to happen in the yesteryear , namely through apartnership with Netflix , but those never materialized . Of course , if aSuper Smash Bros.film were to ever be made , Link would have to be one of the first heroes to have a   part in it - and perhaps even his own movie mapped out . radio link is an incredibly skilled fighter aircraft , and he ’s certainly desirable enough to appear in a potentialSuper Smash Bros.movie .

Samus

Few Nintendo properties are considerably suited for the with child sieve thanMetroid . Inspired by Ridley Scott’sAlien ,   the game is basically already a proven success for movie - rifle audiences . Samus Aran is also one of the most iconic characters in play today , with a bevy of gadget and abilities made usable to her via a Power Suit . While the name is bland , the design and sleekness   of theMetroiduniverse would lend itself incredibly well to a live - action scope .

Kirby

When a newSuper Smash Bros.game is shown off , there are often four character at the center of the reveal : Mario , Pikachu , Link , and Kirby . The latter is an essential mascot that has traditional knowledge deeply tied to that of theSmash Bros.series . How so ? Well , the villain that ’s seem in every entry of the all - star scrap game , Master Hand , has only appeared in one other plot outside ofSmash . The game?Kirby & The Amazing Mirrorfor the Game Boy Advance . Considering that the creator ofSmash Bros. , Masahiro Sakurai , also createdKirbyat 19 years old , the bottomless pink blob is a shoo - in for a hypothetical Nintendo Cinematic Universe .

Ultimately , polish out a form of characters for a live - actionSuper Smash Bros.film could play out a number of ways . Many buff of the serial will also point out that fiber like Fox McCloud , Captain Falcon , Yoshi , and Ness are all painfully lack from this lineup . But there are more unmanageable panorama of these series that make a crossover challenging for aSuper Smash Bros.film , namely the squad - concentre layout of Star Fox and the consummate lack of modern relevance forEarthbound / MotherandF - Zerofranchises .

That ’s not to say that Captain Falcon ca n’t make his launching alongside Ness in a alive - actionSuper Smash Bros.film , much like Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver did inAvengers : Age of Ultron . Then again , all of this is just speculation on something that may or may never happen . If and when it does , though , an on - screen Falcon Punch could be one of the most epic moments of the entire Nintendo Cinematic Universe . That is , after Pikachu , Mario , Link , Donkey Kong , Samus , and Kirby all combine to take on a heavy evil in the firstSuper Smash Bros.movie .
