SmashWiki:April Fools'

Line 106:

The wiki was themed after [[Captain Falcon]] (formatted as '''''CAPTAIN DOUGLAS JAY FALCON'''''), with Captain Falcon being the featured article and all of the text on his page and on the main page capitalized. Several other widespread jokes were made:

*Like April Fools' jokes from previous years, several users have created fake fighter pages:

**{{s|User|~~OmegaToad64~~}} brought [[User:~~OmegaToad64~~/Frisk|Frisk]] into ''Ultimate'' as the second DLC fighter for the Fighter Pass Vol. 2, and upgraded the minor {{uvm|Undertale}} universe into a [[User:~~OmegaToad64~~/Undertale (universe)|major universe]].

**{{s|User|Ultimate Toad}} brought [[User:Ultimate Toad/Frisk|Frisk]] into ''Ultimate'' as the second DLC fighter for the Fighter Pass Vol. 2, and upgraded the minor {{uvm|Undertale}} universe into a [[User:Ultimate Toad/Undertale (universe)|major universe]].

**{{s|User|Cookies and Creme}} created a fake fighter page for [[User:Cookies and Creme/SpongeBob (SSBU)|SpongeBob SquarePants]], who would be replacing the unnamed {{uv|ARMS}} character in ''Ultimate''.

**{{s|User|DracoRexKing}} created a fake fighter page for the [[User:DracoRexKing/Character concepts#AVGN|Angry Video Game Nerd]] as a free DLC character after [[Spring Man]].

**{{s|User|Thegameandwatch}} made a fake smash game called ''[[User:Thegameandwatch/Super Smash Bros. Switch|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch]]'', a port of ''Smash 4''.

*The NIWA News' "upcoming games" section had the titles changed for the current upcoming games listed, such as ''Persona 5 Royal'' becoming "Edgy Dagger Schoolboy Remake", and ''Final Fantasy VII Remake'' becoming "Cloud Strife Does Yet Another Cashgrab". Later "''EarthBound: Down Under''" was added to match with [[wikibound:User:~~OmegaToad64~~/EarthBound: Down Under|WikiBound's joke]] that the next installment in the ''EarthBound'' series would be a crossover between ''EarthBound'' and ''Undertale''.

*Many other pages were pranked in various ways. For example, [[Sans]] and [[Knuckles the Echidna]] were pranked by many users; {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}} was pranked by {{s|User|Darthrai}} based on the infamous "[[bulbapedia:ROM hacks#Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal|Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal]]" bootleg; [[Protagonist (Persona 3)|the protagonist from ''Persona 3'']] was pranked by {{s|User|Aidanzapunk}} (in collaboration with {{s|User|Hinata}}) to be centered around the famous "Door-kun" meme; [[Dr. Mario]]'s page was pranked by {{s|User|Awesomelink234}} to have it be Dr. Amigo, a parody of Dr. Mario from a commercial for Dr. Amigo Family Clinic; [[Cloud]]'s page was pranked by {{s|User|OldLink5}} to have references to actual clouds; and pages relating to [[Eevee|one particular Spirit Battle]] were pranked by {{s|User|RickTommy}} to say that the battle in question retroactively affected [[Nintendo 64]]-era ''Mario'' spin-offs. The page for ''Melee'' {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} was altered with references to {{Sm|Laudandus}}, notorious for his dislike of the character.

Line 127:

**{{s|User|Thegameandwatch}} changed [[Sephiroth]]'s article to his sword [[User:Thegameandwatch/AFD 2021/Masamune|Masamune]].

**{{s|User|Darthrai}} changed {{SSBU|Mythra}}'s ''SSBU'' page to be written from the point of view of Chairman Bana, a story arc villain from her original game ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2''.

**Several users collaborated to replace every fighter portrait in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' with joke images, such as {{s|User|Omega Tyrant}} collaborating with {{s|User|~~Omega~~ Toad}} to replace {{SSBU|Hero}}'s renders with edited pictures of [https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Gohan Gohan] from ''Dragon Ball'', and SamtheBKBoss creating [https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Herobrine Herobrine]-themed edits to each of {{SSBU|Steve}}'s renders. Images of the SSBU character table after every image was replaced can be found [[:File:SSBU_character_template_AFD_veterans.png|here]] and [[:File:SSBU_character_template_AFD_newcomers.png|here]]. Additionally, an archive of the template can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20210401220126/https://www.ssbwiki.com/Template:SSBU_character_table here].

***In tandem with this, [[Special:PermaLink/1560815|a single edit]] was made to Steve's changelog by {{s|User|Aidanzapunk}}, which riffed off the famous "Removed Herobrine" gag from ''Minecraft''{{'}}s patch notes.

Line 156:

*{{s|User|PanchamBro}} additionally rewrote [[Special:Permalink/1671897|Sora]]'s page in the style of {{uv|Kingdom Hearts}} content creator [https://www.youtube.com/user/MrHaveGoing Just a Pancake].

===2023===

The wiki announced that it will no longer focused on ''Smash Bros.'' and instead became a baseball-themed wiki, with the featured article replaced with the [[New Donk Barrelers]].

Like previous years, users made notable pranks:

*{{s|User|Ultimate Toad}}'s submission was that the next entry in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series was going to be ''[[User:Ultimate Toad/AFD 2023 - Super Smash Bros. 6|Super Smash Bros. Nitro]]'', in which all characters except the Original 12 were cut. The newcomers consisted entirely of joke characters, some of which were suggested by other users.

*{{s|User|Yellow}} pranked the [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=Mario_(SSBM)&oldid=1779493 Mario]'s ''Melee'' page to be centered around Chris Pratt, the voice of Mario in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. Movie}}''.
