ReturnOfDevsman 05/31/25 10:47:21 AM #7:	NA: The Super Smash Bros boxart features Mario getting ZAPped by Pikachu, Samus getting BIFFed by Fox, Link... looking off screen, and Kirby being friendly while a bob-omb sneaks up on him. And yet this one makes the most sense. JP: This boxart is a page from a manga, I think, in which Mario, Samus and Donkey Kong attack their own names while Link and Fox react in confusion and Yoshi and Pikachu are angry about it, and Kirby is just not even in the comic at all. EU: The Super Smash Boom Bros boxart features everyone beating the shit out of Yoshi, and Donkey Kong being really happy about being hit in the mouth by said shit.
