At the time of Brawl's release, Wild World was the newest Animal Crossing game. And there, K.K. Slider could play 70 songs. So that fact about K.K.

[@the_bookworm8281]

A few things: 1) Luigi being slower than Mario, but a better jumper, is originally taken from Super Mario Bros 2 (USA), where those are the attributes that apply there. A lot of stuff for Luigi and Peach were taken from that game. 2) Falco being in a Landmaster while "personally preferring the air" is a confusing thing to implement. However, his Landmaster has its aerial capabilities enhanced in comparison to Fox's and Wolf's, in exchange for KO power on the laser and spin. 3) Snake being as heavy as he is, is due to the fact that he was originally going to be much taller during the game's development. When they ultimately decided to shorten him to be about the same size as the other human characters, they forgot to adjust his weight in response to that. It is also the main reason why he possesses such huge hitboxes, and that he possesses a massive 9 frame jumpsquat (the highest in the series). This would be fixed when translating him into Ultimate, now being a normal heavyweight instead of the superheavyweight, as well as streamlining his hitboxes to be more accurate.

[@haidynwendlandt2479]

Actually in the 2D Mario games where the characters have a difference in "stats", Luigi is usually slower than Mario but has a higher jump. Specifically (for at the time brawl came out) Super Mario Bros. 2 (in North America) had Luigi be the second slowest, a bit faster than Princess Peach, who had a float along with her jump, with Toad as the fastest with the lowest jump.

[@jubjub444]

Yeah, it's the same thing with Falco in Japan too. Honestly, I think "Personally, I prefer the air!" would've made a lot more sense for his new Last Trump Card (the original Japanese name for Final Smash), Team Star Fox instead. I don't know why Super Sonic's Figure's is the only one that lists his Last Trump Card's origin game while the others' are completely obsolete either. Maybe they were in the Japanese version, but forgot to include them in the Western releases...? Nah, I doubt it.
