Despite its large and diverse roster of characters, Super Smash Bros.has never featured a playable YouTuber before. However, Modder LN_310 finally changed this with the new MrBeast mod available on the website GameBanana. It is worth clarifying that the mod adds MrBeast as a skin for the existingSuper Smash Bros.fighter Solid Snake rather than an entirely new character. This means thatthe massively popular YouTuber MrBeastwill use Snake’s standard move set when players take control of him inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. However, the mod replaces more than just Snake’s appearance, featuring new voice lines and other cosmetic changes.
The mod’s features include replacing Solid Snake’s grenades with hamburgers. While primarily a YouTube star, MrBeast also started various other businesses, such as his chocolate company Feastables and theMrBeast Burger virtual restaurants. The inclusion of burgers as MrBeast’s weapon inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateis a nice nod to this side business. The mod’s voice lines also use clips of MrBeasts actual voice. And while not all the audio clips are a perfect fit, it adds to the mod’s authenticity.
LN_310’s mod also letsSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateplayers choose between a few different outfits for MrBeast. These include the mod giving him six different hoodies in varied colors and featuring different logos. Among them are two different MrBeast hoodies and one for MrBeast Burgers. The mod also includes a version of MrBeast in a safari hat and two skins for fans who want to play as a MrBeast wearing a robot helmet.
Super Smash Bros.fans are always eager to see new characters coming to the game. Unfortunately, it does not appear thatSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateis getting any new characters afterthe addition ofKingdom Heartsprotagonist Sora with the game’s final DLC. Meanwhile, Masahiro Sakurai’s semi-retirement raises the possibility that the series is truly over. Thus, fans need to turn to mods like this if they want to scratch their itch for new characters.
