Making EVERY Minecraft Mob A Spirit Battle for Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Minecraft’s Steve is by far my favorite addition to Super Smash Bros Ultimate’s DLC. Not only is Steve incredibly fun to play but Minecraft is also one of my favorite games ever made. While Steve himself and the stage Minecraft world are perfect, the Minecraft song selection and the spirit selection were both mixed for me. Steve’s spirit board only contained 9 battles, combining that with classic mode only 13 mobs were represented. So in today's video I wanted to change that by creating spirit battles for the other 59 mobs found in the game! Everyone from the pig to the wither will receive spirit battles based on their unique characteristics within Minecraft. I'm counting every mob that has a spawn egg in addition to the snow golem and wither for this video. This is also being recorded as of the 1.17 update for Minecraft so mobs like the warden are not yet included. A lot of these were hard to make but join me as I create spirit battles for every single Minecraft mob for super smash bros ultimate.

I'm under the impression that starting Kirby out with a Copy Ability isn't utilized in spirit battles because coding-wise Kirby would need the character on the stage to take their Copy Ability. Maybe for the Guardian fight, you can still have Kirby, but have an invisible R.O.B. that spams his laser. This way you still get laser Kirby sorta, but R.O.B. being invisible can reference the phantom image of the Elder Guardian when you get Mining Fatigue. For the Piglin fight, you could also add an invisible Belmont, since they have axes

[@supermarioglitchy321]

Actually, if you play as Kirby, you can "steal" an opponent Kirby's copy ability by simply inhaling them. If the opponent Kirby doesn't already have an ability, it just does nothing.

[@VMan776]

This is further supported by squad strike, where Kirby will lose his copy ability upon defeating his opponent and having them swap out for a different character.

[@Kirbman]

@@supermarioglitchy321 Yes, but the opponent needs to be in the match for it to work. That's what Arien was getting at.

Honestly for skeleton horses you could have used duck hunt, since they’re like a skeleton riding a horse. May be a bit of a stretch but the only other person I could think of would be banjo but I think duck hunt goes better.

[@venomgaming7014]

I mean, white ivysaur could also work.

[@Insaniot]

The Dalmatian alt for Duck Hunt I thought fit perfectly for the skeleton horse, since the black spots could be viewed as the spaces in between the horse’s bones.

[@TheRemixer124]

An extra idea for the Wandering Trader: The Villager goes invisible after some time, referencing how the Wandering Trader occasionally uses invisibility potions.

[@thevaralon]

"There's no character in the roster that even resembles a horse" Duck Hunt: *disappears*

[@gebis8515]

My ideas for Giant and Illusioner spirits: The giant spirit battle will obviously be against a giant Zombie on Minecraft World. It will have high HP but won’t be very aggressive, referencing how for most of their time in Minecraft they have lacked an AI. The Illusioner will consist of 4 Dark Links battled on Luigi’s Mansion. The puppet fighters will favour neutral special. You only need to defeat the main fighter to win, but the main fighter will be invisible to confuse the player.

[@Legospiderman666]

I think to add to this you could have the giant have the hit box run thingy instead of attacking like how in Minecraft they kinda just kick you and you die

[@nidiasg5280]

Hitbox run thing is called impact run

[@nidiasg5280]

[@lord1153]

The giant would be a novice and the Illusioner would be an ace possibly?

Turn this into a series! Do it with other franchises, like Mario Enemies (from the mainline games) and stuff.

[@noahjohnston9958]

Here's my idea for an Arch-Illager spirit battle! Fighter: Villager or Ness Enemy starts the battle with a Star Rod. Enemy prefers special moves. Reinforcments appear when the enemy is low health. (Robin, Wario, and Black Chrom namely)

For the 1.19 mobs: Warden: Giant Ganondorf (dark blue alt), Brinstar (resembles the deep dark, a dark cave full of lava), stamina battle, the opponent has 300hp, the enemy gets faster at lower health, legendary spirit. Music: The Arch Illager Frog and Tadpole: 3x Tiny Greeninja (black alt, references tadpoles), 3x Greninja (white, green and red alts, each one represents each frog color), Jungle Japes (resembles the mangrove swamp), novice spirit. Music: Earth Allay: 4x tiny Pits (blue alt), Minecraft World (forest variant as it references the fact that they're found in woodland mansions), the enemy is attracted to items, advanced spirit. Music: Glide

[@symmetricksambigrams]

Allay: you're allied with the allays fighting a horde of pillagers

[@isaacfreiberg7609]

I love all of this except for one thing for the warden: In the "nightmare" spirit fight, there is an event where sometimes the nightmare assist trophy spawns, which mirrors the darkness effect.

[@semessers6484]

For the spider i right away thought of diddy kong: he is a spider monkey, he has that one attack were he jumps on you, he can cling on walls, he has alts that fit the spider and cave spider and he is used for the spirit battle against Squitter who also is a spider.

12:02 As soon as I saw this section a bit more silverfish inspiration came in. Another gimmick with Silverfish is the infested blocks, so potentially you could replace the Sonic with Kirby, with the added gimmick of the spirits using down B for stone transformations.

For the Polar Bear, you could have it start with a small Mii then once you KO it a large one spawns, to represent how Ingame, Polar Bears protect their young

Personally, I think the Polar Bear spirit should have you fight a giant Banjo in his white alt, rather than a K. K Slider Mii, y'know because Banjo is literally a bear

The bee spirit should have a giant Ridley as a reference to how everyone was freaking out about how big bees are when they came out.

For the pufferfish you can have the character get the dizzy effect either randomly, after a set amount of time, or after a set amount of damage to resemble the dizziness from the nausea effect you get from eating a pufferfish in Minecraft.

[@fancyhorse8821]

The white duck hunt variant would be great for the skeleton horse as the duck on the dog looks perfect with the theme of riding.

[@774martinn]

For the wandering trader, you could of made villager turn invisible occasionally since the wandering traders sometimes drink an invisibility potion.

[@SemmieWNT]

For the skeleton horse, I would use the dalmatian alt of duck hunt, since there the fighter consists of 2 characters, and the white with black spots can represent the look of a skeleton like figure

[@blockeontheleafeon]

The normal spiders could be represented by a Mr. Game & Watch who loves to spam his up throw. The one where he juggles your character. This represents how the spider mob constantly attacks you if you get to close, and is a nod to how many limbs they have. The Cave Spider will be represented by 2 - 3 smaller Mr. Game & Watches who have a cyan alt, and they'll do the exact same thing. The catch is that you have a flower on your head which represents the poison damage Cave Spiders dish out. Both of the stages the Spider Spirits would be in is the Underground portion of the Mushroom Kingdom Stage. Silverfish can be represented by 4 - 5 Skull Bandana Pichu since there's usually multiple Silverfish that spawn at a time. The stage would be Omega Coliseum since that represents the inside of a Stronghold more IMO.

18:17 I play spirit battles a lot so I immediately thought of something that would work as a representation of the Nausea effect eating a Pufferfish would give you. Occasional inverted controls. Soooo many spirits make it so that your right makes you go left and your left makes you go right, but only on occasion so you don't get used to either state. It really gives me a "i'm dizzy therefore unable to walk straight" vibe.

[@Leet-iz2fz]

The "running like a horse" justification for K. Rool representing horses is actually accurate to the real-life lore of the Donkey Kong Country series. The devs watched gorillas to model DK's movements after, but the gorillas didn't do much, so for more expressive animations they based it on horses instead.

Here are my suggestions for the battles: 10:06, 11:29, 18:48 - You could use Duck Hunt to represent the horses as the dog is a quadruped and the duck usually rides on his back. 13:32, 14:09 - It's a missed opportunity that Kirby never starts with Copy Abilities for spirit battles, but to not defy Smash mechanics, you could have the Kirbys hold a Staff from the start. 14:45 - Cyan Inkling is a better color match for the glow squid than the green one (unless you think his lighter-colored clothes are unfitting). 17:55 - There _is_ a visual disorientation effect in Smash in the form of screen-flip. 25:05 - You could use white Banjo & Kazooie instead. 25:46 - You could have only Alolan Vulpix spawn from Poké Balls as it attacks with icy projectiles. All in all, this is a great video! I'd love to see this done for more series.

There are a few effects I feel like you could have added. Wandering Trader and his Llamas could have had the "Defeat the main fighter" condition with the trader avoiding conflict. The Pufferfish's nausea could be represented through occasional screen flipping.

I’d imagine the Warden being a giant Cyan Bowser. It has super armor, can deal massive damage (like, 20% per neutral attack with the best spirit set in the game), and becomes faster the more you attack it. However, it can only attack once someone attacks it, and acts like a lvl 1 cpu at the start of the match. Get him off the stage quickly! Uses either Brinstar or Shadow Moses Island.
