Well, that's what happens when Nintendo decides to put Sonic in two Super Smash Bros. games and Super Smash Bros. has more characters than the Sega All-Stars series. Third-party or not, being playable in Smash Bros. is more than a cameo. He even defeated the final boss! Although it was a Deus ex Machina late appearance, taking out the main villain is no cameo. If it was a cameo, Brawl would instead be in the list of cameos instead of getting a full fledged article. While it would seem ironic for us to have more Nintendo characters than Sega, World's Collide gave us more Capcom characters. And if you say it's all Mario's game, did you know you could play through the Subspace Emissary without using Mario at all? You can pick Kirby in the opening fight and use Pit through Mario's levels until they meet up with Link and Yoshi, and keep using people other than Mario. Also, as I've noted in the discussion about Smash articles, Donkey Kong was permitted before Bowser Jr. because of Brawl. I still stand by my decision. If I had given up, I wouldn't still be working on these guys in my userspace, would I?
