To be fair, when the poll was done for American votes for the next Smash game (I think it was during Smash 4 or after), for characters to be considered for Smash the top 3 were Sora, Goku, and Spongebob. Only Sora made sense out of the three.

This isnt true. Sora was confirmed to have gotten the most votes, but anyone who says Goku and SpongeBob ranked highly is just guessing.

Second place was apparently Banjo, but the wording is vague.

I think it's gonna happen. Sakurai may have retired, but in his video about the development of Brawl, he does mention the future of Smash near the end. Basically he believes that Nintendo won't let such an important title for them sit idle, so they will probably try to make a new game at some point. And he'll work with Nintendo however he is able.

Sakurai isnt retired.

There will definitely be another Smash game, its too big a moneymaker to end. And right now theres no reason to think Sakurai wont be the director again.
