The Best Fan-Made Platform Fighter in History: Cartoon Smash Bros!

Cartoon Smash Bros. — Godot Platform Fighter Fan Project

Hi everyone! I’m working on a 2D crossover platform-fighting game in Godot called Cartoon Smash Bros.

The idea is to create a cartoon crossover platform fighter inspired by games such as Super Smash Bros., with characters from several different animated franchises.

What I’ve built so far

I’ve already started developing the game’s front end, including:

  • Boot screen
  • Title screen
  • Main menu
  • VS Mode
  • Character Select
  • 6×2 character grid
  • Character names and portraits
  • Locked/unlockable character slots
  • Character-selection highlighting

What I want to build next

I eventually want to add character gameplay and movesets, stages, multiplayer battles, items, sound and music systems, unlockable content, additional game modes, and overall UI polish.

Looking for collaborators

I’m interested in meeting other Godot developers who would like to help with areas such as:

  • GDScript programming
  • Platform-fighter gameplay
  • Character implementation
  • 2D artwork and animation
  • Stage design
  • UI design
  • Audio implementation
  • Testing and debugging

I’m using Git/GitHub for version control so collaborators can work on separate parts of the project without overwriting the main build.

This is an unofficial fan project and isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by the companies that own the featured characters.

I’m still learning Godot while developing it, so I’m also happy to meet people who want to learn and build something together.

Beware, it’s quite risky to use cartoon characters you don’t own the rights for…
Nice project though ! :slight_smile:

I know that’s because this is a fan made project like Super Smash Bros. Crusade

Maybe Broforce can be inspiring regarding copyright evasion – not sure if that’s a term.

  • Rambo → Rambro
  • Terminator → Brominator
  • Robocop → BroboCop
  • Die Hard → Bro Hard
  • Alien → Ellen Ripbro
  • Predator → Brodator, etc.

I’ll think about that.
