Smash 4 Wii U: Boxing Ring Titles
#1
The Boxing Ring Aliases actually have some references hidden in them.

Luigi's title "The Eternal Understudy" is a reference to his unlock screen in the original Super Smash Bros.

R.O.B.'s title "The Last of His Kind" is actually a reference to the Subspace Emissary from Brawl, in which every other ROB is destroyed, leaving him to be the last ROB.

(Peppy saying the line)

Kirby's PAL title "Gritty in Pink" is a reference to the movie "Pretty in Pink."

Sonic's PAL title "Speed's His Game!" is a quote from his line "Sonic's the name! Speed's My Game!"


Pikachu's and Jigglypuff's PAL titles are based on their Pokedex labels (The Mouse Pokemon, and the Balloon Pokemon)

Their titles in the game are "The Electric Mouse Pokemon" and "The Delightful Balloon Pokemon".

Jigglypuff's title in the NTSC version "The Sleepy Singer" is a reference to the Pokemon anime, in which every time Jigglypuff sang, it would put people to sleep.


Here is a video detailing all of the American titles:

I noticed some. Well two. The first was Mario's which said "Mr. Video Game Himself" which thought it was a reference to his old name "Mr. Video". The second was R.O.B.'s.
