Geno (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Geno appeared in Super Smash Stadium. For information about him in general, see his article on MarioWiki.
Geno is a retired character on Super Smash Stadium. He debuted on the Season 27 premiere, alongside Yoshi's Island 3, and notched 79 appearances in the 11 years he was active.
On the April 1, 2021 episode of SSS (4919-4), as an April Fool's joke, he returned, but strictly as a show host. By this point, Alex was well-known for his often intense, scathing criticism of the Super Smash Bros. fandom, and one major focus of that criticism is how "irrationally" he feels the fandom wants Geno in a canon Smash game. The episode featured Geno hosting alongside four other "irrational" characters Alex feels don't belong in Smash yet epic truckloads of the fandom want in the game for some reason: , Sans, , and Goku. (Scorpion, Ivy, Lili, , , Bandana Dee, Crash Bandicoot, Sora, and TracerIf you want an Overwatch character in Smash so badly, why not D.Va or Sombra? -_-; also made cameo appearances in each segment, along with about 90 billion Fire Emblem characters.)
==In his own universe==
The entity that we know as "Geno" is actually a combination of two things: a Star Spirit whose real name is "♡♪!?", and a doll named Geno. The Star Spirit came to the Mushroom Kingdom after Smithy, via a sword named Exor, destroyed his home of the Star World by crash-landing into Bowser's Castle. The Star Spirit evidently could not communicate or survive on its own, so it possessed the doll.
==Attributes==
Being locked inside a wooden doll made for a Smash Bros. character who was very awkward to use. He was pretty powerful, and his attacks came out fast and were easy to use, but he couldn't move very well on the ground. As such, he was forced to rely on projectiles to do damage; luckily, he was good at this. He also had a good air game. Unfortunately, inhabiting a doll didn't do much for his survivability, as Geno was still a lightweight and could die at low percents.
===Changes===
None.
===Moveset===
Entrance: The doll entered from a pipe, just like the rest of the Mario cast; the Star Spirit possessed him not long after.
