Yep. They've certainly earned it with their appearance in nearly all of the NSMB games.
Actually, that's a good point, they could go for its wheeled form on the ground and relegate the propeller to a limited "sustained jump," R.O.B.-style.

You know what would be the most badass Final Smash of all? The glass dome on the Koopa Clown Car slides back, the glowing Koopaling (or Jr.) spits fire into the sky, and then the fire starts raining back down onto the battlefield, like the final battle of Super Mario World. And then the car supersizes and tips upside-down to drop Big Steelies, forcing the players to avoid the bouncing steel balls while also dodging the hailstorm of fire. >I think i'd much rather it be the canonball
Yeah. And again, in this way, Sakurai could appease both sides of the Koopalings vs. Junior debate.
Prime 2 is the only Metroid game with morph ball boss fights, and it has three of them (Spider Guardian, Power Bomb Guardian, Spinning Drone thing), each completely different from the last.
The Nintendo/Sega rivalry was huge in the '90s, and Mario vs. Sonic is a dream match for a lot of reasons.
People only care for the rivalry period which is when Sonic had good games. The Sonic and his cohort of unpopular buddies period was mostly when Sega was third party so isn't really part of the Sonic period people are celebrating with his inclusion.
Do not besmirch the dead. :-(
All interesting ideas.
On a side note, imagine this:
A newcomer trailer set in Mushroom Kingdom U. The Koopa Clown Car flies onto the scene, perhaps coming to the aid of Bowser, who has kidnapped Peach and is fighting Mario. Cue montage of game footage showing the Koopa Clown Car punching with its boxing gloves, bouncing on its propeller, firing Bullet Bills, lobbing Bob-ombs and Mecha-Koopas, dropping Big Steelies and more, all while the pilots change inside its glass bubble.
Then...
Something shoots the Koopa Clown Car out of the sky! A pixelated bullet smacks into it and sends it spiraling into the familiar Mario bushes. And from out of the bushes appears the Duck Hunt Dog, laughing with its paws to its mouth. Cue the game footage of the Duck Hunt Dog doing his thing, wielding the NES Light Zapper and working in tandem with the ducks themselves.
It'd be a hell of a trailer and add some much-needed visual variety to the roster (animal characters, colors other than blue, etc).
Pic of the Day: Bomberman blasts in. We based him off of his Bomberman B-Daman appearance so this Bomberman shoots marbles from his chest instead of planting bombs since we already have a bomb user in the guise of Link. Smash Brothers is a great way to remember a characters more unusual traits.
"Bomberman explodes into battle! Although he's a popular character, Bomberman doesn't really have the build of a fighter in most forms, so we based him of his appearance from the memorable Bomberman Act: Zero!"
Except Lucina, she gets a snow suit
People will be outraged to hear the ultra-masculine gorilla Marth with a delicate female voice.
Koopa Crew would be a great name for the group as a whole. And then the announcer can just say the individual name on the victory screen (I.E. Roy Koopa! Bowser Jr.! etc)
