Gameplay:
The game is played in standard platformer-camera, which basically means you see your character from behind while playing on a 3D plane. The idea is to defeat your enemy by deplenishing all their remaining health while battling in a limited area. Each character is equipped with a set of attacks, grapples, shields and various other gameplay techniques unique to each character, further details regarding this will be found with that specific characters profile.
The game will also mix in Platform elements, using floating platforms, ledges, scalable terrain and other such obstacles depending on the stage.
Story:
An evil entity known by mortals as only the Champion of the Universe summons several of the most powerful beings from all around and pits them in a tournament to determine who truly is the strongest.
Characters:
Marina Liteyears - Marina is the robotic-maid and hero of Treasure's cult classic "Mischief Makers." Her grabs are unique, in that by tapping up or down on the control-stick while grappling to someone she can shake the enemy around, causing them damage. She can also hurl herself into the air by pushing off foes if she is grappling them. She is also capable of using her jets to move forward and propel herself through the air.
Sonic the Hedgehog - Sega's mascot Sonic races onto the battlefield. He is the fastest of all the playable characters, and handles as an improved version of his Sonic Adventure self, although he is also equipped with a series of melee attacks.
Pac-Man - Pac-Man finally sees the action of a fighter! His only special ability seems to be his ability to chomp foes, which will knock them rather far...
Samuel Han - Never played this game, someone can help me here.
NiGHTS - Never played this game, someone can help me here.
Taizo Hori - Taizo is the little-known hero of Namco's Dig Dug! He wields his mighty pump-gun, using this to bring a unique style to every battle. He can use his pump-gun to inflate foes, and if they don't break free quick enough they'll pop and be sent flying upwards into the air.
Undead Hero - Never played this game, someone can help me here.
Reala - Never played this game, someone can help me here.
Klonoa - Never played this game, someone can help me here.
Frogger - Frogger ditches his new-style look and returns to his arcade simple-frog incarnation. He is the highest jumper of the game and has an extended combat reach due to his toung.
Miles "Tails" Prower - Tails is always found backing-up world hero Sonic the Hedgehog, and he doesn't fail to continue playing such a role. Tails battles with his unique twin tails, and is inspired very much by the Tails of the Genises era. By tapping the jump button, he can spin his twin tails like a propeller and fly through the air for a short period of time.
Pinky - Representing the ghosts of Pac-Man's nightmare, Pinky prepares for battle. She is a very evasive fighter, having lots of quick combos but weak single-attacks. Instead of basic dodging techniques, she can vanish and reappear in a different area.
Simon Belmont - Never played this game, someone can help me here.
Gum - Gum is a speedy player, using her roller-blades to get around. Despite this, she is still capable of performing melee attacks. She also wields a can of spray paint, spraying foes with this WILL damage them.
Presea Combatir - Presea is on the slower side when it comes to running, and lower side when it comes to jumping. However, she has no lack in strength. Wielding her giant axe, she has a long reach and deals massive damage, though she isn't very good at speed-combos.
Teran - Marina's Clancer buddy returns. While he normally battles with simple melee attacks (as well as Marina's shake-shake technique) he can also summon the power of the Blockman and trample foes down. It's unfortunate he can only use this form under dire circumstances.
Dr. Eggman - Robotnik, Eggman, I prefer Eggman Robotnik, but it seems Sega leans towards the egg-name. Eitherway, Sonic's nemises is no push-over this time around. He battles in a mech that is equipped with various weapons based off his machines, such as becoming a drill-tank for his rush attack or it's fists becoming discoballs.
Lloyd Irving - Lloyd is the Combo King. He uses his double-blades to slash down foes.
Yugo - I never played this game, someone can help me here.
Arle Nadja - I never played the Puyo games with Arle, someone can help me but I intend to research this a bit.
Bomberman - Hudson's mascot Bomberman returns, and as his TV headed-self too! While he does lack a certain amount of combonation powers, he can plant some devistating boms around the field.
Mario - Mario is the Wii-Unique character. He is an all-around character and utilizes some attacks that have only been seen in the Smash Bros series.
Master Chief - I've only played the first Halo and I don't remember it much, help please.
Crash Bandicoot - Never played this game, someone can help me here.
Items
Items can be picked up and used by running over the item you wish and pressing the item button. Pressing the item button while holding an item will allow you to use that item. Items randomly fall on the stage during play.
Speed Shoes (Sonic the Hedgehog) - The Speed Shoes are one of the few items in the game that work automatically on contact and don't require you to press anything. These shoes will allow your character to run much faster then before.
Monkey Ball (Super Monkey Ball) - Aiai's Monkey Ball is another auto-item. When touched the ball will wrap around you, protecting you from attacks and allowing you to bowl over enemies. Unfortunatly you can't jump while using the Monkey Ball.
Power Pellet (Pac-Man) - The Power Pellet is the third and final automatic item. Grabbing this will make you temporarily invincable, and an act as simple as bumping into foes will damage the enemy.
That's all for now...
Red means the character is locked.
