"Take Two....and Action!"

DR. IVO ROBOTNIK IS A PATRIOT BROTHER. HE BLEEEEEDS THE RED, WHITE, AND THE BLUE BROTHER!

Sorry, I don't know what came over me. We've been playing a lot of Fire Emblem Heroes and New Pokemon Snap releases this week. How will it do? Better then Age of Calamity, we think. What would be the best indie rep in Smash Brothers that isn't Steve, what makes the franchises we know and love today successful, and the final half hour is console remaster and Sonic movie rambling. We enjoyed this one.
