    You do realize there’s a metric ton of non-Nintendo characters in Smash, right? It’s essentially a celebration of gaming as a whole. Mickey isn’t a video game character though, that’s why they used Sora. Same reason Goku and Superman aren’t in Smash.

      Mickey is kinda a video game character if you think about it.

        He’s been in games, but he’s definitely not a ‘video game character’ in the way that Mario, Sonic, and Cloud Strife are.

          Sorry it was just a joke. I didn’t think I needed a /j, but I should know better. Poe’s law.

          Edit: just gonna leave this here as proof of Mickey’s hardcore game roots…
