List of rumors: Difference between revisions

A popular rumor among some fans is that Nintendo had negotiated with Square Enix to receive a license for the inclusion of their character {{S|mariowiki|Geno}}, from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' (a game which was developed with Square, who disallowed direct sequels to the game without their permission or involvement), as a playable character in ''Brawl''. This rumor suggested that Square declined to allow Geno's appearance, or they demanded a large amount of money to allow him. After the release of the game, rumors went as far as to suggest that the Random Character box on the character select screen was intended for Geno, which ties into the fact that it is located under the third-party characters of {{SSBB|Snake}} and {{SSBB|Sonic}} and a dedicated "random character" box had not previously been featured in the series. There is no evidence to support such a rumor, as not only is there no unfinished character package labeled "Geno" present in the game's data, and there is no ''Super Mario RPG''-related content in ''Brawl'' whatsoever. Sakurai had also said that Geno will not be in the next game. He threaten the fans that he will delay the game each there is a Geno letter each time it comes to him.<!--Don't claim there's unfinished music from SMRPG; anything you've heard on the internet is fanmade, and there's substantial evidence the track was to be from a different game altogether.-->
