File:SmashArena.jpg

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome, editors and users, to the Smash Arena! Each week this forum hosts a tussle between two characters from the Super Smash Bros. series! The winner gets, well, nothing. It's more of a poll but functionally, this is a popularity contest. You may vote for your favorite or who you think would win in an competition between the two combatants that round. No, you don't have to vote for the character with strength & power, just vote if you are a total fanboy of the character. So what are you waiting for? Get voting! Remember, you can remain anonymous! If you have any requests for future fights, please feel free to leave a message here.

The Rules

1. When voting, you can give a brief comment on why you voted the way you did, or you can just leave your signature.
2. You can only vote once. Any multiple votes will be removed.
3. Put a # before your vote to facilitate the vote counting.
4. Type ~~~~ after your vote to sign it, whether you are logged in or not. Using the wrong number of "~"s counts as not signing - your signature must have both your signature itself and the time.
5. There is a line in each section consisting of "DO NOT ADD COMMENTS OR EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE". You are to do so; do not just type your vote at the bottom of the editing window. Not following this rule results in your vote being displayed in the wrong place.
6. Put your vote below other votes; that is, so the votes are in chronological order.
7. Any comments about the fight should be left in the comment section. It is recommended that you do not post argumentative, accusative, or any sort of comment with the intention of starting an argument with someone on the opposing side. The Smash Arena is a popularity contest, there's no need to argue with the other side on why your choice is superior, or why they are wrong with their reasoning for picking their choice.
8. You may only vote in the current fight; all previous fights are closed.
9. Do not leave a space between your comment and the ones above it (and/or below it).
10. If there are multiple fights in a single round, try to make all your votes in a single edit.

If your vote is not added correctly - that is, it breaks rules 3, 4, or 5 - you have one hour to fix it. After this time, it may be moved by any user to the Half-Votes section (adding the unsigned template if necessary), and it will count as half a vote. Attempting to move your vote out of the Half-Votes section may result in it being worth zero at an operator's discretion. In addition, if your votes-to-rulebreaks ratio climbs too high, your votes may count for zero until the ratio drops to an acceptable level.

Intentional half-votes undermine the intent of the half-vote system as a way to punish voters for voting incorrectly. It is legal to want a vote to be worth half, but it is very heavily discouraged, and you must state in your vote you want it to be worth half.

Round 93: Metal Mario vs. Giant Donkey Kong

		Winner!! Metal Mario 26.5 to 17
The two minibosses of SSB64 get together to duke it out. Which superheavyweight will prevail?
Votes for Metal Mario Looks cooler and i am better off with Mario then DK. Zeldasmash (talk) 22:26, 1 July 2011 (EDT) I think I prefer Metal Mario --66.222.171.225 23:34, 1 July 2011 (EDT) Giant DK always seemed to self-destruct when I was against him. Metal Mario however never did that. 110.174.90.69 00:06, 2 July 2011 (EDT) He is much harder, and is objectively superior to Giant DK. Mr. Anon (talk) 00:40, 2 July 2011 (EDT) Mario>DK,so Metal Mario>Giant DKLucas-IV- PKThunder PK Rocket! 03:25, 2 July 2011 (EDT) I prefer fighting metal characters over giant characters (especially in Brawl). Omega Tyrant 07:27, 2 July 2011 (EDT) At least metal characters give me a challenge, giant characters just seem ridiculously easy to me. =/ Squishyfrog Chat 08:58, 2 July 2011 (EDT) Metal characters were a good and original idea (Yes I know it's from Mario 64), while huge characters are overused in I-Don't-Know-How-Many videogames.

Mariomash (talk) 22:34, 2 July 2011 (EDT) Metal Mario is tougher to bring down than Giant DK, plus he has better music. 68.174.11.29 23:07, 2 July 2011 (EDT) Mario always beats Donkey Kong. The cirumstances of size and body properties do not matter. MtnDewholic (talk) 23:14, 2 July 2011 (EDT) Tough, hard, shiny, cool, Metal Mario vs. Self-destructive, overgrown gorilla. Wow, this is such a hard decision... Mastersword (talk) 06:52, 3 July 2011 (EDT) Giant characters always seem to fly off the stage all too easily. --217.42.43.195 14:04, 3 July 2011 (EDT) Mario is better. 166.249.97.100 15:41, 3 July 2011 (EDT) In SSB64, Giant Donkey Kong practicaly KOs himself, but Metal Mario is rediculously hard (excuse the pun) to knock off the stage. CriticalHit60 (talk) 10:25, 4 July 2011 (EDT) Metal mario= hard. Giant DK = so easy i dont have to do anything. 68.63.112.184 16:09, 4 July 2011 (EDT) How many times has Mario beat DK? A lot. And how many times has DK beat Mario? Not once. Being metal/big shouldn't change that. 25T16 (talk) 18:52, 4 July 2011 (EDT) Metal Mario>DK. Period. --69.247.131.32 22:41, 4 July 2011 (EDT) Giant DK is too easy.Metal Mario would punch Giant DK off the stage in seconds! 99.111.204.97 11:15, 5 July 2011 (EDT) Just because of his epic theme music in Super Mario 64. --174.59.4.202 18:13, 5 July 2011 (EDT) Metal Mario is the man!

Hmm... ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 02:58, 2 July 2011 (EDT) It was hard to decide, because I hate metal characters, but I like Mario more than DK.--PSIWolf 03:59, 2 July 2011 (EDT) Giant DK is brilliant, Metal Mario NO. --24.11.24.139 06:26, 2 July 2011 (EDT) His size makes him easier to hit with moves like Rest or difficult meteor smashes, whereas Metal Mario would be just as hard to hit, and take less knockback. Simply hitting him is more satisfying, because he's easy to follow up on, so he gets my vote. ToastUltimatum (talk) 08:36, 2 July 2011 (EDT) DK!!!!!!!!!!!--Luke5176 (talk) 10:51, 2 July 2011 (EDT) Donkey Kong>Mario, so Giant Donkey Kong>Metal Mario all the way. Even with the resilience the metal gives Mario, a couple clean haymakers from Giant DK and the tubby plumber is nothing more than scrap metal. That, and King Kong was an awesome movie.

Comments @Captain Falcon - Actually, I think there's more games with characters that are made of shiny materials than games with giant characters(for example Sonic the Hedgehog and 1080° Snowboarding). --FireEmblemFan275 (talk) 14:59, 2 July 2011 (EDT) This battle is pretty hot Lucas-IV- Think Before You Talk 09:06, 4 July 2011 (EDT) I've never seen a tie so late in the battle.
