Super Smash Bros. Something Else is a 2030 crossover fighting game developed by Bandai Namco Studios, Sora Ltd. and Lazy Studios, and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. A reboot of the series' previous game, Super Smash Bros. Something, it serves as the seventh installment in the overall Super Smash Bros. series. After the sudden cancellation of the original Super Smash Bros. Something, this new game promises to "focus on quality more than quantity".
Like the original game, Super Smash Bros. Something Else's goal is to create the biggest and most fun Super Smash Bros. game. Like its predecessors, the game is a crossover between various Nintendo and 3rd-party video games in an all-out slamfest. Changes to the formula primarily included changes to all returning veterans, alongside a wide variety of new characters and game modes.
Gameplay
Super Smash Bros. Something Else plays very similarly to past games in the Super Smash Bros. series, as it is a fighting game for up to 8 players in which characters from Nintendo games and other third-party franchises try to knock each other out of an arena. Unlike other fighting games, which often have a health system, by default Super Smash Bros. Something Else uses a percentage system. When players are damaged, their percentage goes up, increasing the distance in which they are launched. Getting launched off-screen results in a KO, and a point for whoever landed the final blow.
Unlike other fighting games, in Super Smash Bros. Something Else each character controls virtually the same. Players have access to Normal attacks and Special attacks, which change depending on if they are in the air, or the ground, and what direction they are holding the control stick. Alongside those, the player can also Jump and utilize platforms scattered around stages, Shield against attacks, Grab enemies and toss them around, utilize a wide variety of Items that spawn on stage, or unleash a powerful Final Smash if they have broken a Smash Ball or filled up their Final Smash Meter.
Gameplay Changes
- Character Overhauls: Many of the game's veterans have received reworks to their movesets or entire overhauls, in order to make those characters feel more modern and mesh well with newer characters.
- Air Dashing: A new ability that many characters can perform (check a characters' moveset to see if they can perform one), inputting a dash motion in the air allows you to perform a short Air Dash. This is great for maneuvering through the air, dodging attacks or getting closer to an enemy. After an air dash, you can cancel the attack into an aerial. You can only perform one Air Dash after leaving the ground. There are two types of air dashes:
- Standard Air Dash: Allows you to dash forwards or backwards.
- 8-Way Air Dash: Allows you to dash in all 8 directions.
- Air Shielding & Air Grabbing: Players can now Shield and Grab in the air, allowing for even more options while airborne. Your shield while in the air will take less damage, but attacks will knock you around more than on the ground. Air grabbing is easier to break out of than on the ground, though certain grabs change properties while in the air.
- Float: Floating is now a mechanic that multiple characters can use, rather than just Peach.
- Hover: Hovering is a new fighter ability similar to Float. Unlike floating, hovering does not keep your current air height, instead slowing a character's fall speed. However, hovering can be held for as long as you want until you reach the ground, whereas floating lasts only for a limited time.
- Grab Reversal: If you're being grabbed and the enemy is about to throw you, tap the opposite direction the enemy is throwing you in to perform a Grab Reversal. It can be hard to pull off as the timing is a bit strict, but pulling it off allows you to cancel your enemy's throw and cause you to grab them.
- Parry: Replacing Perfect Shielding, pressing the attack button while shielding allows you to perform a Parry. With a perfectly-timed parry, you'll absorb all the damage of an attack, and recover very quickly, allowing you to counterattack.
- Shield Specials: Shield Specials have been given to more characters, mostly characters that have different transformations or characters with some kind of gimmick or ammo.
- Stealing: Grab an enemy while they are holding an item will cause the item they're holding to be put in your hands.

Game Modes
Group
Smash
The signature mode of the Super Smash Bros. series, up to eight players, CPUs or Amiibos can play against each other on a stage of their choosing. Before a match, players can select various rulesets, and even create and save their own for quick selections. Matches can have one of six modes:
- Time: In Time, the winner is determined by whoever gets the most points when the timer runs out. Players gain a point when they KO an opponent, but lose a point when they get KOed themselves.
- Stock: In Stock, the winner is determined by whoever is the last player standing. Each player has a limited number of lives, with players losing one every time they are KOed. If a player loses all of their lives, they are eliminated. Players can also add a time limit, in which case if the time runs out, the player with the most remaining stocks is the winner.
- Stamina: In Stamina, the winner is determined by whoever is the last player standing. Unlike other game modes, rather than a percentage meter, Stamina instead uses a health bar. Once the health bar reaches zero, that player is instantly KOed, losing a stock.
- Coin: In Coin, the winner is determined by whoever gets the most coins when the timer runs out. Coins will constantly spawn randomly all across the stage, floating in the air, and simply touching them will cause you to collect them. Hitting enemies will cause them to drop coins, and KOing enemies will cause them to drop half their coin total.
- Crown: In Crown, the winner is determined by whoever gets the most points when the timer runs out. Players gain points by grabbing and holding onto a crown that randomly spawns on stage. With the crown on, you slowly build up points, but your movement is slowed, and taking enough damage will cause you to drop to the ground. In matches with more than 4 players, a second crown is added.
- Tag: In Tag, the winner is determined by whoever is the last player standing. At the start of the match, a random player is tagged, and after a set time, the tagged person is KOed, losing a stock. The tagged player is given increased speed, and if they hit another player, they will transfer the tag onto them. In matches with more than 4 players, two players will be tagged at a time, though once the number of players goes back down to 4, it reverts back to one.
- Soccer: In Soccer, the winner is determined by whoever gets the most points when the timer runs out. Each side of the stage is designated as a goal, and the player gains points by launching the ball into the goal. The higher the ball's percentage, the farther it flies. Players are automatically put into teams in this mode.
Special Smash
Special Smash includes a variety of special game modes that change up Smash Bros. formula.
- Custom Smash: Play standard Smash with a variety of modifiers. Change everyone's size, their speed, their weight, give them wacky effects, or combine them all together for pure chaos!
- Smashdown: After every match, the previously chosen characters will be unselectable. Test your skills with multiple characters and see how long you can survive!
- Squad Strike: Assemble a team from 3 characters, and fight as a team! Replacing your taunts, you can switch between characters at any time. See which cool combinations of characters you can create!
- Super Sudden Death: Everyone is at 300% and the screen will zoom in as time goes on. Be prepared for tons of KOs!
Smash Run
In Smash Run, players are tasked with navigating a large maze-like island under a time limit, tasked with defeating enemies to earn stat-boosting stickers. These stats include:
- Attack: Represented by an orange fist, this increases the power of normal attacks.
- Special: Represented by a red star, this increases the power of special attacks.
- Defense: Represented by a blue shield, this reduces knockback and increases the durability of the player's shield.
- Speed: Represented by a green shoe, this increases the player's speed in the ground and air.
- Jump: Represented by a yellow wing, this increases the player's jumping height.
- Arms: Represented by a purple hammer, this increases the power of items, projectiles, grabs and healing.
If a player is KOed, either by the enemies or the other players around the map, they will respawn but lose some of their stickers, leaving them to whoever happens to find them. Once time is up, the players compete in one of many matches to determine the victor, carrying over the stat boosts they gained while exploring.
Tourney
Tourney allows up to 64 players to play in a tournament-style bracket to see who wins! Players can customize the rules of matches, alongside customize the number of players per round.
Solo
Adventure Mode: Reign of Darkness
Adventure Mode: Reign of Darkness serves as the game's main single player story mode, serving as a psuedo-retelling of the previous Story Mode, War of Dimensions. After the events of World of Light, the fighters of the Super Smash Bros. world lived in peace, as they began to live in the world left behind after Galeem's attack. That was until a mysterious substance known as the Glitch began raining down from the sky, and onto the land below, taking control of the villains who all seek to use its power to take over the World of Smash. Now, our heroes, with the help of a mysterious figure known as Emelga, must work together, find out the source of the Glitch, and save their home from total destruction.
Classic Mode
Classic Mode has players choose a character and difficulty, and fight through a series of 11 stages, culminating in a final fight against a boss with some connection to the player's chosen character. The characters chosen in each stage are random and the goal is to simply KO them all. Performing certain actions during a fight will earn you Points. The more points you have, the more rewards you get when you complete the mode. Like in Smash 4, the player can select a difficulty on a scale from 0.1 to 9.9. The higher the difficulty, the more powerful your enemies will be, and the more Gold it will cost to get in, but it increases the amount of rewards you get. Players are always given 1 stock per round, and if they lose them all, they can continue at the cost of some Gold.
All-Star Mode
All-Star Mode tasks players with defeating the game's entire roster in one go. Fights are split into waves, with each wave having you fight against a group of fighters before moving on. Between each round you are taken to a rest area, where you can use a limited number of healing items before your next fight. Like in Classic Mode, you can choose a difficulty, and the higher the difficulty the more rewards you get if you win. You can also equip any trophies you've collected and use them to grant you a boost during fights.

- Target Smash: Target Smash tasks players with destroying a group of 10 targets that are scattered across an arena as quickly as possible. Each character has a unique stage, where they must use all of their unique abilities to complete it.
- Home-Run Contest: Home-Run Contest tasks players with knocking a Sandbag as far as possible. At the start, players have 10 seconds to rack up damage, and when five seconds are left, a Home-Run Bat spawns in, allowing the player to launch the Sandbag.
- Multi-Man Smash: Multi-Man Smash tasks players with defeating the Fighting Mii Team under various pretenses. These include:
- 30-Man: Challenges the player with defeating 30 opponents.
- 100-Man: Challenges the player with defeating 100 opponents.
- 3-Minute: Challenges the player with surviving for 3 minutes while defeating as many opponents as possible.

- Endless: Challenges the player with defeating as many opponents as possible before being KO'ed themselves.
- Cruel: Challenges the player with defeating as many opponents as possible before being KO'ed themselves. The Miis in this mode are incredibly tough and powerful.
- Race to the Finish: Race to the Finish tasks players with racing to the end of one of many different stages. A large black hole will slowly begin moving towards the player, and enemies will attempt to block their path. Reach the end of the stage, and you win.
- Boss Rush: Boss Rush is similar to All-Star, tasking the player with defeating the game's bosses (excluding the story-exclusive Final Bosses) in one go. The order you fight all bosses in are in a random order. Between each round you are taken to a rest area, where you can use a limited number of healing items before your next fight.
- True Boss Rush: A harder version of Boss Rush unlocked after beating Adventure Mode. Replaces all of the bosses with their EX Forms and adds in the two Final Bosses, who are always fought at the end. The rest area also has less effective healing items.
Training
Training allows a player to practice and experiment without participating in an actual match. The mode allows players to control various gameplay aspects, from simple things like summoning items and setting the enemy's AI, to more technical things like showing launch trajectory and displaying hitboxes and hurtboxes.

- Mii Fighters: Here, the player can create and customize Mii Fighters to play as in various game modes.

- Custom Colors: Here, the player can create their own alternate costumes for any character of their choice. Players can choose the parts they want to color and color it to create up to 8 costumes that can be used in fights. Custom colors cannot be used Online outside of Battle Arenas that enable them.
- Stage Builder: Here, the player can create their own custom stages by drawing platforms. Players can customize the terrain of the platforms, utilize layers to create backgrounds, move and rotate platforms, and add hazards like Cannons, Springs, Ladders and Wind.
- Amiibo: Here, the player can use Amiibos to create Figure Fighters. Figure Fighters can be put into matches and level up as they learn from the enemies they fight against. They level up overtime, capping at Level 50, though this can be disabled at any point.

- For Glory: This mode focuses on more fair and competitive battles, with no items, the only stages being Battlefield and Final Destination, and only featuring 3-stock matches.

Online Smash Run
In Online, you can play Smash Run with up to four random players on the Internet. The rules and objectives are very similar to normal Smash Run, with players tasked with navigating a large maze and fighting enemies to obtain stat boosts, before competing against each other in one final match.
Spectate
Spectate allows the players to view live online battles or replays, and bet Gold on their outcomes. If the player you betted on wins, you earn your Gold back alongside other rewards.

The player can also Like content they enjoy, and if something has enough likes, it will appear in the Featured category in the mode's front page.
Vault
Trophies
Returning after their absence in Ultimate, Trophies are collectible items representing various characters, items and other elements from Super Smash Bros. various represented series. Trophies are obtained throughout the game, randomly during matches, as rewards in single-player, in the shop, and in Trophy Battles. Trophies are split between four different ranks, Common, Rare, Epic and Mythical, with the higher their rank the more rare they are, alongside their value. Trophies can also be equipped in local matches or in Trophy Battle, each trophy giving the player a stat boost or item to support them in battle.
- Trophy Battle: Trophy Battle allows the player to fight in randomly appearing Trophy Battles, where they must play a battle that corresponds with a trophy to earn it. If you win the battle, you unlock that trophy. Trophy Battles rotate regularly, so keep checking if you want to find more trophies.

Shop
The Shop allows the player to use Gold they obtain throughout the game and purchase things they can use in the game. These include things like Trophies, Support Items, Mii Costumes, Music and Alternate Costumes. You can also sell duplicate trophies in your collection to earn some Gold.

Challenges
Challenges features a wide variety of objectives that the player can perform in order to earn prizes like Gold, Trophies, Mii Costumes, Music and Alternate Costumes.

Records
In Records, the player can view their stats, milestones and battle data. Everything from learning your most played character, to your largest number of KOs, to all the people you've fought Online, can be found here!
Characters
At the game's launch, Super Smash Bros. Something Else features 120 playable characters (excluding characters that are grouped into one slot), the most out for any Smash Bros. game. Of the game's roster, 74 are returning veterans, while the other 46 are newcomers to the series. Similar to Smash 4, the characters are sorted chronologically by series. Echo Fighters do not return in this game, and previous Echo Fighters from Ultimate were either given more unique movesets, or were removed.
After the release of the game, five Fighter Passes were released, each adding six characters per pass. This adds 30 new characters to the game, and increases the game's total roster to 150 characters. Each of the fighters (alongside their stage and music) can be bought either individually for $5, or bought together with the rest of the characters released for that pass for $30.

Enemies
Enemies are non-controllable characters that appear primarily in Adventure Mode and Smash Run. They are split between three types, with Weak Enemies being the weakest and Dangerous enemies being the strongest.
Bosses
Super Smash Bros. Something Else features 14 different bosses, which appear as powerful enemies in Adventure Mode, Classic Mode and Boss Rush. Unlike normal characters, they are much larger, deal tons of damage, are immune to grabs, and armor through all attacks. However, they are also generally slow, and telegraph their attacks before using them, allowing for you a chance to dodge. The character you play as will change which bosses you fight, while in Boss Rush, you have to fight them all in a row.
New to this game are EX Bosses. Only appearing on higher difficulties, EX Bosses are stronger versions of the game's normal bosses, boasting faster and more damaging attacks, alongside increased health.
Stages
Super Smash Bros. Something Else features ? stages. Something Else cuts a majority of the game's old stages, though many were either replaced with other stages, or combined together into new stages. Like in the previous game, each stage has an Alpha Form, giving it a layout similar to Battlefield, and an Omega Form, giving it a layout similar to Final Destination. New to this game, is the ability turn on and off specific stage hazards and transformations, allowing you to truly customize how the stage acts during the fight.

The background will be one of many designs, which is chosen based on the current song playing. The layout is simple, consisting only of a flat stage with walk-offs.

Trivia
General
- The game's original name was going to be Super Smash Bros. Something Redux, and the game was even teased Project Redux before its release. However, it was changed as the game's name didn't flow very well.
- Eventually Super Smash Bros. Something Else was chosen by the Fantendo Discord, referencing the fact that while it is a reboot of Super Smash Bros. Something, it tries to be something different, thus, being "something else".
- Super Smash Bros. Something Else was started after the cancellation of the original Super Smash Bros. Something, which was caused by:
- Technical difficulties as a result of UCP, which made it almost impossible to edit the original page without it lagging constantly.
- A wish for a blank slate, as the creators felt like the game was too big for its own good, and felt outdated compared to Lazy Studio's other works.
- This is the first game in the Super Smash Bros. series in which true non-videogame characters would appear in the Super Smash Bros. series, with Donald and Goofy appearing in Sora's Final Smash, and Mickey Mouse appearing as a trophy.
- Their inclusion was kept as according to the creators, "Half of Kingdom Heart's identity is Disney, so we felt it was important to include them even if they don't originate in videogames."
Characters
- This game cut several characters from Ultimate. These include, Chrom, Dark Pit, Dr. Mario, Pichu, Piranha Plant, Pyra & Mythra, Richter, Sheik, Wii Fit Trainer and Young Link. Some cuts were done to remove clones (Like Dr. Mario and Young Link), while others were replaced by other characters on the roster (Like Sheik with Impa, Pyra & Mythra with Rex, and Wii Fit Trainer with Ring Fit Trainee).
- Of the cut characters, Dr. Mario, Dark Pit, Wii Fit Trainer and Richter were instead added as unlockable alternate costumes for Mario, Pit, Ring Fit Trainee and Simon respectively. Sheik is referenced in one of Impa's unlockable costumes. Piranha Plant, Pyra and Mythra appear as part of Waluigi and Rex's movesets respectively, and Chrom still makes a cameo in Robin's Final Smash.
- Currently, the series with the most playable characters is Pokémon, with a total of 13 characters (if Red and May's Pokémon are counted as separate characters), beating out the Mario series by 3 characters.
- At the game's launch, Hatterene was the most recent character to appear in Something Else, debuting in November 2019. This was beating out the previous record holder, Byleth, by four months. After the release of Fighter Pass Season 3, the record would taken from her by Zagreus, who debuted in September 2020.
- This record would be broken further after the release of Fighter Pass Season 4, as Raven Beak would beat Zagreus, first appearing a year later in October 2021. As of right now, he is the youngest character in the roster.
- Red is currently the only veteran character in the Super Smash Bros. series to be renamed, formally being called Pokémon Trainer. The name change was made to differentiate him from May, another Pokémon Trainer character.
- As with every game, Kirby has a variety of stones that he can transform into with his Stone special attack. Many have been included These stones include:
List of Stone Transformations |

|
- There are various little easter eggs that are found throughout various animations and properties of the characters.
- When Peach is under a Metal effect, instead of turning metal, she turns into a pink gold color, referencing Pink Gold Peach.
- Charizard, Blaziken, Incineroar, Inkling, Octoling and Sonic take damage while they are in water. This is because Fire-type Pokémon are weak to Water-type attacks, Inklings and Octolings die when touching water, and Sonic is unable to swim.
- Squirtle, Mudkip, Greninja and Shantae can swim longer than other characters. This is because Squirtle, Mudkip and Greninja are Water-types, and Shantae, while in water, goes into her Mermaid form.
- When Red and May's Pokémon use a Poké Ball, they will call out of the name of the Pokémon brought out. Joker does the same when he summons a Demon with a Tarot Card.
- When Inkling and Octoling have their Final Smash ready, their hair will glow, similar to when they have a Special Weapon fully charged in their games.
- Certain characters have special effects that appear when they are KOed.
- Inkling and Octoling have an inky effect to their explosion. If they are KOed from the bottom blast line, their ghost will rise upward a short distance before disappearing.
- Sonic and Tails drop a cluster of rings.
- Mega Man and Zero explodes into blue and yellow orbs respectively.
- When Steve is KOed, a text box from Minecraft will appear on the bottom left corner of the screen, with text displaying how Steve was KOed.
- When either Tracer or Heavy are KOed, a kill feed will appear on the top right of the screen, showing which character defeated them, as well as the way they did. Its appearances changes to resemble their home games.
- The Knight's explosion is a dark color, resembling SOUL.
- When Zero is Star KOed, he yells out "What am I fighting for!" an infamous line from Mega Man X4.
- There is a small chance that after Scorpion's Final Smash is over, a small voice saying “Toasty!” can be heard.
- Jonesy is unique in that he wields a weapon from other game, as the Infinity Blade is from a game series of the same name. The creators however felt it was okay to include it as part of his moveset as not only are both games owned by the same company, but the Infinity Blade itself is infamous among the Fortnite community for being incredibly overpowered.
Scrapped Content
- Several new characters were also considered to appear in Super Smash Bros. Something Else, but were cut for various reasons.
- Gen 8 Pokémon: Many Pokémon introduced in Generation 8 were considered to be included, like Rillaboom, Cinderace, Toxtricity, and even weirder picks like Dracovish and Dragapult. Eventually, Hatterene was chosen, as the creators wanted to experiment with a moveset involving Trick Room.
- Rillaboom and Cinderace were cut specifically because the creators felt there were too many starter Pokémon in the roster (8 as of right now).
- Snom was also considered to appear but the creators felt they shouldn't include them as they appeared in the original version of Something.
- Spring Man & Ribbon Girl: Were considered as ARMS reps as they were the game's mascots. Eventually it was decided to scrap Ribbon Girl for Min Min as she had already appeared in Smash and had a larger fanbase. Spring Man was then cut as well, being replaced with Dr. Coyle, as it would add another villain to the roster.
- Ichiban: Was considered to appear instead of Kiryu as part of Fighter Pass 2, primarily since the creator of the series does not think it's fit for Kiryu to appear in fighting games, as it is against his character. Eventually however, Kiryu was kept anyway, as he was the series' mascot and main character for most of the series.
- Roll: Was originally considered as the second Mega Man representative, but was replaced with Zero late in development, as the creators were unhappy with how her moveset ended up.
- Heihachi: Was part of the game's base cast, but when Kazuya was announced to appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, was scrapped as the creators couldn't find a way to make a moveset for him similar to Kazuya's, primarily because of the Devil Gene. Notably, with how Kazuya's moveset is modeled, they couldn't figure out a way for Heihachi to recover. Ultimately, Kazuya was added and Heihachi was cut.
- Other League of Legends Characters: Several other League of Legends characters were considered to be included: the ones in highest consideration being Jinx, Yasuo, and Teemo. Ahri was chosen due to a combination of popularity and moveset potential.
- Aether: Was originally part of the game's 3rd pack as part of a movement to try and add characters from "underrated" franchises in the Smash fanbase. Eventually, the creators felt that a character from the Fate series would be a better choice, as not only would they fit the idea of a "gacha character", of which Aether was based around, but also due to Fate's more long-running history.
- Though Ritsuka was chosen, if the creators couldn't figure out a moveset for them, they considered adding Saber as her own character. As it stands, she instead appears as one of the Servants that Ritsuka can summon.
- Lazy Studios Characters: Many characters from Lazy Studios' original franchises, like KillGames, Kingdombound and Sugar Cannon, were planned to appear as DLC. However, after complications figuring out unique movesets for them, the creators felt dissatisfied with the results, and thus cut them in order to make room for other characters.
- Gen 8 Pokémon: Many Pokémon introduced in Generation 8 were considered to be included, like Rillaboom, Cinderace, Toxtricity, and even weirder picks like Dracovish and Dragapult. Eventually, Hatterene was chosen, as the creators wanted to experiment with a moveset involving Trick Room.
- Alongside characters, some assist trophies were cut as well.
- Bastion: Would have attacked in his Turret mode and fired at enemies around him. Replaced by Dr. Neo Cortex as the creators didn't want to include more than one character from Activision Blizzard.
- Crewmates: Would have wandered around in a group, with one of them being an impostor trying to attack one of the other players. Replaced by the Goose for unknown reasons.
- Riptor: Attacked by rushing towards the enemy and either perform a series of combo attacks, or pouncing on them and mauling them. Was replaced by Conker as the creators felt it would be more appealing to fans.
- Snip & Clip: Were originally assist trophies but were scrapped as the creators had trouble figuring out what they would do. They were instead added as part of the Noisy Notebook stage.
- Various demons from across the Shin Megami Tensei franchise were considered to be included, but were later scrapped. These include: Ame-no-Uzume, Arahabaki, Berith, Dominion, Lamia, Lilim, Mara, Naga, Nebiros, Norn, Odin, Pale Rider, Parvati, Shiki-Ouji, Throne and Yamata-no-Orochi.
- Of the scrapped demons, Cybele and Mermaid and were planned to appear but were scrapped as including them would increase the game's age rating.
- Several bosses were considered but scrapped during the game's development.
- Queen Sectonia & Dyna Blade: Both were cut as a result of not lining up with the structure of the story. Dark Matter was chosen instead, though was given the ability to transform into Sectonia.
- Metal Overlord: Was cut as the creators felt he was too similar to Ultra Necrozma appearance-wise. He was replaced with the Egg Wily Machine.
- Perfect Chaos: Was cut as a result of not lining up with the structure of the story. He was replaced with the Egg Wily Machine.
- Lagiacrus: Was originally the game's 12th boss, but was scrapped after the creators felt there were too many Capcom bosses. Was eventually replaced with Giga Mermaid.
- Behemoth: Was briefly considered to replace Lagiacrus, but the creators struggled to make a moveset for this that differentiated from Ganon.
- Originally, every character was going to have a Shield Special. However, the creators felt most of the new shield specials did not mesh well with most character's moveset. Though most were cut, a good chunk of them, including ones that involve transforming or are important to a character's gimmick, were kept.
