Evil Red

## How Evil Red joined the Tourney

Many years passed, and Red returned to the Dragon Realms with dark stones known as Dark Gems to fuel his evil power. Spyro and Alisa Bosconovitch discovered that the Dragon Realms were being plunged into darkness, and teamed up with Mario, Crash Bandicoot, and Talim, in order to take down Red and his unholy alliance of Gnasty Gnorc, who was thought to have been defeated in *Spyro the Dragon*, and Ogre, a beastly god of fighting who lives in the ancient temples of Arizona. The five heroes teamed up and battled their way through the homeworlds, and eventually defeated the evil dragon. However, Red escaped to the Smash Bros. Tourney and captured Professor Mole, forcing him to build an army of robots to get revenge.

### Glide (Up)

Red jumps into the air, goes into a loop and glides forward, in a similar manner to Meta Knight's Shuttle Loop.

### Low Tail Sweep (Down)

Red sweeps the stage's floor with his tail.

### Hyper Ice Shard (Hyper Smash)

Red says "Try and dodge this!" and shoots five shards of ice from his ice rod, all at one time.

### Infinite Power (Final Smash)

Red says "But DON'T THINK you're any match against MY infinite power!" and then he transforms into Mecha Red. As Mecha Red, all of his moves are upgraded greatly, being extremely fast and strong. All of his throws (except for down throw) are able to KO opponents above 70%. He moves a lot faster, deals more damage and knockback, and can also be affected by Super Mushrooms and Poisonous Mushrooms, but not Metal Boxes. He returns to being his normal self after 15 seconds.

## Victory Animations

3. Red uses his ice rod to freeze all of his opponents into a block of ice, then he says "This is the first and last time you will bring me bad news!".
