Super Omega Bros. Core

Super Omega Bros. Core is a fighting game parody of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U and the fourth installment of the Super Omega Bros. series. It is available in the Core Cobalt and Core Believe consoles. It uses primarily Ghostbusters characters but it features multiple other franchises as well. The game was created by Alibi Gaming.

## Gameplay

Sticking to the original themes of the series, Super Omega Bros. Core is a multiplayer fighting game where players use various attacks, techniques, and items to deal damage to their opponents and knock them out of the arena, instead of on the floor. As a character's damage percentage increases, with a maximum of 499%, they fly back further when attacked, and may eventually be knocked far enough out of the playing field to be knocked out. Items would sometimes appear on the battlefield, most of which represent the various video games represented in the series. An item called a Core Belief allows players to use a powerful, character-specific attack known as an "Alpha Attack". Another item is a Support Player, which summons various non-playable characters from a represented series onto the field to assist the summoner. Like its predecessors, Super Omega Bros. Core features collectible in-game figurines based on characters or items seen in various franchises. Each stage now features an alternate Less than Omega form, which replaces the stage's layout with a flat surface with ledges on both sides and removes all stage hazards. Certain stages, collectible figurines, and game features are exclusive to each version, with the Cobalt version primarily featuring elements taken from home console titles and the Believe version taking elements primarily from handheld titles. Both games feature revisited stages from past entries in the series and new stages representing newly introduced properties or recent entries in existing ones

New to the series is the ability to customize both existing characters and personalized characters, altering their attacks and giving them unique power-ups. These characters can be transferred between the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game, as well as certain items earned in specific modes. Additionally, players can use camera-code figures to train computer-controlled players and import them into a match. Both versions of the game support local and online multiplayer. Whereas local and online matches with friends have fully customizable rules, online matches with strangers are divided into two modes: "All for Fun" and "Fun for All." All for Fun features random stages and items, with time matches only and Less than Omega stages omitted, while Fun for All features stock matches with no items exclusively on Less than Omega stages and features both standard Smash and 1-on-1 battles, all of which the player's wins and losses are recorded from Fun for All. Customized characters, virtual replicas, and camera-code figures cannot be used in online matches against strangers. Additionally, solo play once again features Classic mode where it has a new feature where which players can make the game more difficult by spending in-game currency to earn greater rewards. Both versions share two new modes. Target-busters has players beat up a ticking bomb before launching it into a set of targets, with the goal of earning as many points as possible by causing chain reactions. Boxy-Foxy has players clear out falling crates to build up a Fever meter and quickly earn new trophies and customization items.

## Characters

Super Omega Bros. Core features a roster of 100 playable characters (76 on-disc and 24 available as downloadable content) taken from Ghostbusters, Pretty Cure, and some third-party franchises. The base game includes 9 newcomers: Raiden Mei, Bronya Zaychik, Kiana Kaslana, Theresa Apocalypse, Yae Sakura, Rowan, Fu Hua, Wendy, and Duplicate, which can be customized with one of three fighting styles: Brawler, Swordfighter, and Gunner. Some characters such as Kiana and Duplicate have multiple variations, such as different types and alternate character skins, which are selected in the same manner as alternate colors. Some returning fighters who could change forms during a match in previous titles are now playable solely as individual characters. As such, the Ghostbusters and the Real Ghostbusters can now be played as individual fighters, along with Skater Goat, who was previously included alongside the now-absent Bird Flip in the Pokémon Trainer's team in Donnybrook. Kallen Kaslana, who first appeared in Super Omega Bros. Rumpus, makes her return to the roster after her absence in Donnybrook. Jessie and Jess were originally planned for but were removed due to the technical limitations of the Core. Walter Peck, Mayor Lenny, and Shiny Luminous are also absent following their appearances in the previous three games.
