Design Comp #1: A Challenger Approaches [Final Voting]

Neutral B: Bubble Blast
Holding down the B button will make Wart start spitting bubbles. The bubbles will hurt opponents with slightly increased knockback (it won't launch them, however), and can even pick up items and return them to Wart. They move slightly upwards and normally have a horizontal range that's a bit larger than Bower's fire breath, but as the button continues to be held, the bubbles will start popping quicker until no bubbles come out at all. At that point, you'll have to wait for it to recharge. The bubbles are capable of being popped if hit with an attack (although they still push the players back a bit), and can even be deflected with the proper moves, such as Mario's cape attack.



Side B: Flying Carpet
Wart will summon a flying carpet for him to ride on That can only slightly be maneuvered vertically by holding up or down (tapping up will let him jump off like normal). Other players can even knock him off or hitch a ride on it as well! However, if Wart is either not on the carpet or it is being shared with someone, it will disappear quicker.



Up B: Frog Leap
Works very similarly to Dedede's Up B attack, although there's less horizontal movement and more vertical movement as a trade-off. He is a frog, after all!



Down B: Warp Door
Summons a random enemy from Super Mario Bros. 2 to fight for you, albeit with very simple AI. Each enemy functions a bit differently -- Shy Guys will tend to stay grounded, Phantos will attempt to make a beeline towards the nearest enemy through the air, Autobombs might stay in one spot and snipe from a distance, etc. Like the Wario Waft, it can only be used so often, and the longer time has passed since it was last used, the more enemies it can summon at once, capping at 3. (Wart will begin to glow blue when this move is fully charged.)



Final Smash: Dream Machine
Wart will summon the dream machine directly in front of him, causing nearby players to be sucked in, similarly to Kirby's or Mega Man's final smashes. Once sucked in, the bosses from Super Mario Bros. 2 will begin to pummel the player(s) inside, dealing a hefty amount of damage until flinging them back out of the dream machine, along with a handful of harmful turnips.



Upon inhaling Wart, Kirby will wear his crown and amulet.

These sketches were all done at one in the morning; if the designs look off or the quality bounces between the drawings, that's why (I even forgot what exactly he looked like lmao)

I truthfully don't expect Wart to make it into the fighting roster at all, but since everyone else has tons of ideas for other Mario characters like Toad or Waluigi, I thought I'd try to give a moveset to a more obscure character.
