== Behind the Scenes ==
=== How the Series started ===
Zacharias Smith, Julian Fonteno, and Claus Sanchez were fooling around on a Piratepad and talking about what new show could be done when Julian thought of Super Smash Brothers as a subject. Zacharias suggested that the show could be about what the fighters do when the 3ds is off, kind of like Toy Story. The three got to work on a first episode. Soon, word of the series spread to writer Hydreigon Hunter, who took Claus' place in story production, as he had quit the job. The first episode of the series, which was done with the original three, was silly, but with the arrival of Hydreigon Hunter came a bit more structure to the episodes.
=== Episode Production ===
Episode production is fairly simple for the episodes and pretty fun, as animators rarely had to animate. This is because the show is done within the Super Smash Bros game, a very unique style of production.
== Cancellation ==
On May 9th, 2016, Julian Fonteno and Hydreigon Hunter announced the cancellation of the series due to complications involving writing constraints. Two episodes were in production that were set to be released, but never were. Four years later on May 9th, 2020, Julian Fonteno gave a synopsis of the two unreleased episodes, along with a few episode concepts for Season Two.
* They were parts 1 and 2 respectively of a 2 part season finale.
* In part 1, Luigi was invited to a party held by Rosalina. The figure, who was finally revealed to be Ridley, sent his accomplice Dark Pit to the party to kidnap Rosalina for his evil purposes.
* In part 2, Luigi followed Dark Pit to Ridley's lair with the help of Luma, where he fought Mewtwo and Dark Pit. However, he was defeated and killed by Ridley. The other fighters found Ridley's lair right after Ridley departed with Rosalina. When they saw Luigi's body, Mario mourned.
* In season two, Luigi was to be replaced with a Luigi robot who looked and acted just like the original in combat so the child playing the game would not get suspicious. Luigi's death was not going to be permanent, as later on in the season, Mario and a few others characters were going to go on a journey to a place where Luigi could be revived, then take on Ridley and his forces together.
