Blanc (Hyperdimension Neptunia)

Route Name: Loweean Pride

As the personification of Nintendo in her home series, Blanc must set out to personally escort the various third-party characters of Ultimate to the nearest available blast zones. She'll be assisted by the Ice Climbers (meant to represent her twin sisters Rom & Ram) throughout the entire playthrough.

Round 1- Sonic (purple bracelets) on Green Hill Zone. Besides his obvious association with Sega, Sonic's first alt also doubles as a small nod to Planeptune, which happens to be Neptunia's representation of Sega as well. Music: Splash

Round 2- Ken (default) and Ryu (black gi) on Omega Suzaku Castle. Their chosen colors and similar fighting styles are loosely based off of Uzume and Kurome from Megadimension Neptunia VII. Music: Uranus

Round 3- Richter (black costume) and Joker (school uniform) on Dracula's Castle (Battlefield form). This round is a reference to Megatagmension Blanc + Neptune vs Zombies, a game where Blanc herself served as the main character in a high school setting. The entire game was spent shooting a cheesy horror film, thus the choice of Dracula's Castle as the stage. Music: White Wings

Round 4- Giant Bayonetta (Bayonetta 1 costume) on Umbra Clock Tower. Bayonetta serves as a stand-in for Arfoire, a recurring antagonist throughout the Neptunia series with the appearance of a seductive witch and numerous monstrous transformations. Music: Encounter With Destiny

Round 5- Snake (red suit), Cloud (Advent Children), Pac-Man (default), and Mega Man (default) on Final Destination. The fighters here are direct references to the members of Gold Third, who each represent Konami, Square Enix, Namco, and Capcom respectively. Music: Providence

Round 6- An early boss fight against Marx. While he does break the chain of third-party characters here, Marx is the closest counterpart Smash has to Rei Ryghts, the seemingly harmless, yet secretly psychopathic main antagonist of Neptunia Victory. Music: Prelude to Battle

Final Battle- Female Corrin (pink costume), Zelda, Lucina (black costume), Female Inkling (school uniform), and Palutena on Blanc's home stage. The final round is basically an all-out brawl against the other main CPUs of Neptunia (Neptune, Noire, and Vert) and their respective sisters (Nepgear and Uni. Vert doesn't have a sister so she's on her own for this one.). Music: The Vision of Telavility (Instrumental)
