It's weird cuz they made the exact same mistake with Brawl of blowing their load too early. That game's roster is tbh kind of incredible but IIRC they ended on fucking Toon Link and Wolf or some shit.

You know something? As bad as the initial cries of "Too small! No Ridley! No Krystal! No Isaac! No Geno! No Mega Man!" were, Brawl probably had overall the most solid roster of all Smash games. They finished up the true Nintendo all-stars, added in a few cool surprises, removed most of Melee's fluff and added very little.

N64 is a close second. If you're going to pick a relatively spanerse and interesting group of 12 Nintendo characters in 1998, you can't do too much better than that set.
