Who's the most recognizable Spyro today? Skylanders Spyro.

I'd argue that this is only *technically* correct. Yes, kids know Skylanders, but hardly anyone who plays these games other than people here and on DarkSpyro care about Skylanders Spyro. My entire age group 19 year olds and people within probably a 10 year radius both ways would recognise the Classic 2-3 Spyro better than the others.

I don't think this is correct, honestly.
It might seem correct due to the mass agreement between fans of the series that the classic Spyro is more recognizable, however this is to the extreme minority of fans of the series. I think if we pooled all of Smash's audience together, they would most recognize Skylanders Spyro, because that Spyro has been open to the Nintendo audience, whereas classic Spyro was only ever open to the Playstation audience, apart from the GBA games, but as far as I know, not many people played those. Classic Spyro hasn't seen the light of day in ten years, while Skylanders has been big in general media for several years now. I can't say I'm a fan of the series, but I am observant enough to realize its fame among the masses.

lol Spryro.

You are all failing to appreciate this.

Edit: aw he changed it :-(

1. Spyro is already a character in Skylanders. Adding classic Spyro would mean there would have to be two Spyros... which doesn't really make any sense. (And yes I know there was that one Sonic game, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea or makes sense. )
2. Didn't DK and Bowser get added partially because they're some of the less popular amiibos?
3. Online petitions never do anything.

There's just no way it would happen. Mostly because not enough people care about Spyro anymore.

(Also, I'm moving this to Spyro Chat.)

Hammer Slam Bowser    Turbo Charge Donkey Kong

1) Bowser and DK are coming to Skylanders, there is a brand new Amiibo/Skylander toy that has been made just to facilitate this.

Spyro is the most well known and central skylander, if any are. So if these hybrid toys to life exists, and a skylander was made into one IT WOULD BE SPYRO before any other.

I think these are pretty effortless leaps in thinking this out, so I will move along...

2) Now, what would a Spyro Amiibo DO in Nintendo? If he's going to be made, he's likely going to be in Smash. It's Nintendo's equivalent to Bowser romping around with the Skylanders in Skylanders.

If he is put into Smash, Sakurai will go with his classic design because:

A. He favors classic designs, see Mega Man, Pac Man, and even Mario(SMB fireballs, SMW Cape).

B. There IS a large fan base, not only for the classic Spyro, but also Legend of Spyro, and these models are pretty close to one another. This means fans of either series are going to be quite compelled to buy the character that was (and continues to be through Skylanders) a gaming icon for 17 years. The greater of which was as this character.

C. Yes I want this, Spyro in Smash Bros, With his own stage with remixed music by Stewart Copeland while hes still able to do it, Spyro's own Amiibo, which he can use in Skylanders with bonus levels based on the classic games. Yes I want this, but I am not the only one.
