This is a little "pet project" of mine, a Sega/Nintendo crossover fic called "Smash Bros. Legends", or SBL for short.
It originally started as another Sonic/Mario crossover story which later grew into something completely different.

Spoiler: SBL1 Story Differences (Compared to most fanfics)

-Much like the Smash Bros. games, SBL feat. characters from both Sega and Nintendo games, though the characters from Sega are more varied compared to Nintendo (I wanted to avoid overexposure of Nintendo's cast of already popular characters). I wanted to try to reintroduce several classic Sega characters to the new generation of gamers, like the cast from "Streets of Rage" and "Comix Zone".
-SBL1 will focus primarily on the SMB (Mario & Luigi) and the classic Sonic Team (Sonic, "Tails", and maybe Knuckles; Knux was not considered during the making of the story). Most of the modern StH cast was left out, mostly because most classic StH fans are more or less disgusted by them.
-Unlike most fanfics that have Sonic and co. travelling to Nintendo-based locales, SBL starts off with the Mario Bros. in South Island (a familiar name to StH fans) after battling Giga Bowser (SSB:Melee). The first part of the story revolves around their quest to find their way back to the Mushroom Kingdom, as well as their encounter with Sonic (who mistakens Mario to be the "red arsonist" wreaking havok in South Island...more on that later.
-As a fan of both SatAM and the modern StH games (mostly just SA1), I wanted to use both Eggman/Robotnik designs. However, most modern gamers will not recognize the SatAM version, nor will they relate to the name "Robotnik". I also wanted to retain SatAM Robotnik's presence and feel that classic fans have enjoyed in both the comics and the TV series. So, for SBL, these two characters are portrayed as two different entities, hinting of several alternate universes. On a side note, these two characters never meet/communicate with each other in SBL.
-With the exception of a few fics (like SMBZ), most Sonic/Mario fanfics pit the two icons against the other, often for no apparent reason. Most of the time, Sonic is portrayed as the "villian" in these fics, causing trouble for Mario and the gang. Even though these two would never fight each other with out a good reason, we fans would like nothing more than to pit these two gaming legends against each other. So, I decided to find a reason to their battle. This led to my own interpretation of the fan character "Somari" from a NES game of the same name.
Since the creators of the game have not identified themselves (other than "Somari Team"), this character is fair game IMO. However, the "Somari" persona is part of another character of my own creation...
-When I first started this project, I wanted to create a unique villian for the SBL story, one that was neither a part of the Sega or Nintendo universe....or any other video game for that matter. I did not want make an out-of-character story where the typical baddie takes the reins as the chief mastermind over a full-scale plan like this. Don't worry; Bowser and Eggman are still featured in SBL, though their role is not as significant as in previous incarnations.
So, I created EGIX, a character based on my online ID, "EliteGamerX", and inspired by my personal ideals and views of modern and classic/traditional video gaming.

Below is a basic outline of how the first story arc shall go. It was originally drawn out in a "game" format, w/ ideas for several alternate endings, boss battles, and other info.
This was the only fairly spoiler-free file I have at the moment, though the names/titles may give away some details.

Spoiler: SBL: Initial Story Outline (still in progress!)

Spoiler: Smash Bros. Legends II

I'm usually hesitant when it comes to posting my ideas on the 'net, fearing that someone may try to steal it and make it "their own", but I've come to a point where I need to hear what everyone else thinks (I've hit a "writer's/artist" block:().
I was hoping I can get some input based on the information I am showing to you all, and hopefully enough interest to get me to jump start the series.
As for the medium (animated/SWF movie, sprite comic, fanfic), I would like to make an animated version, but I lack the knowledge to pull it off, not to mention the sprites from each respective game. Most of them will have to be edited or custom-made anyway, which is a pretty painstaking process.
Also, I'd like to try to portray the characters as close to the actual material as much as possible, so any information that may help flesh them out (Sonic, Mario, etc.) will be most appreciated.

Thank you.
