7 Grand Dad

## CHARACTER DESCRIPTION/ORIGINS/PLAYSTYLE

*7 Grand Dad*, or just simply *Grand Dad*, is a character from a bootleg Mario game of the same name. It was popularized by Vinesauce Joel around 2016-2017 and has become a meme icon ever since. Tthe game itself is just "*The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy*", but with Mario's head over Fred. A lot of other Mario bootlegs follow a similar thing with just an already existing game with Mario's face on it. As such, his moveset revolves around various bootlegs of Mario along with his own game. He is quite heavy and has four jumps.

## Entrance:

### Time Machine

A time machine will appear with Grand dad on it and he jumps off of it onto the stage.

## NEUTRAL B:

### Tomahawk

## SIDE B:

### Mario Nikki

Grand dad will jump up on stick and put it in the ground similar to Rolf's Down B. You then can fling yourself either left or right, which will send you spinning into the opponent(s).

## UP B:

### Dino Jump

Grand Dad jumps onto a dinosaur which then jumps up into the air before coming down. This is another move the spikes in the air, but he can also hit you on the way up.

## DOWN B:

## TRIVIA OR CUT CONTENT

* His Side B was originally a move were you chose form one out of three things (*as seen in his video*). This was replaced and his older Down B took its place due to the old version being *WAY* too situational.
* When Grand Dad was first made, he was based off of his caveman design as seen within the bootleg before being changed to his title screen appearance later on (which was the original plan when first making him).
* A lot of the sprites for his moves are recolored or custom made sprites.
