For a moment there, I was assuming that this was meant to be a commentary of some sort regarding the irony of people wanting to be heroes allowing their greed to make them out as villains instead. Somewhat disappointed that isn't what we got, but I enjoyed it none the less. The sound design is lacking, and I have to point out the masking issue there was near the beginning (5:58). There were one or two cuts that were jarring and I wasn't quite sure what was happening in them. Now, I'll spare you any criticisms regarding the art and color. I'm a shit colorist and even worse artist, so I have no room to talk.
I will say I'm jealous of your ability to make a cartoon as long as this one based on a fun idea and with no dialogue. There are some great designs in here as well.

Solid critique all around and I agree. Definitely taking these into account for the next thing I'm working on (ESPECIALLY THE SOUND DESIGN.)

Assuming you'd like to read an unbiased opinion, I personally think a video directly referencing your status on Youtube doesn't belong here. Now, little things like "Click that subscribe button," can simply be adjusted to refer to the follow button for videos containing subject matter that makes no difference on what site it's posted on. I have a small but genuine appreciation for that kind of extra work and consideration. Hope you take just a smidgen of influence from this. And don't let the small rating get to you. I can acknowledge the work you put in, I just don't think this video should be present on Newgrounds.

The colors were a bit hard on the eyes when we would be scrolling either sideways or forward. The two green for the grass could have been more muted. Or, at the very least, one shade of green could've done the trick, even though that's not how the grass in Greenhill zone looks. I'm still learning colors myself so I'm not 100% sure if that's the way to go, but that's how I feel.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Tbf, I'm not a trained artist or animator in the slightest, so there is likely to be a lot technically wrong with this haha. I literally just copied the colours of the characters from their respective franchise. That said, the first part of this fight will take place in Pooh's world so that'll be a lot less saturated.

Thanks for the comment!

Lose the "skylegened" card. It's far to long and dramatic for a cartoon labeled "Tinkle Time"

I give this 3 stars for good animation, however, it didn't really keep my attention for three (or four) reasons:

The content is dated. Melee is one of my favorite games, but, for a Nintendo game, it hasn't really held up over the years. This is a bit hypocritical of me as I submitted an animation based on another one of my favorite (and outdated) games this year.

You padded out the time using character reactions that more or less would've worked in a project with original characters. Not only that, the padding was for an unnecessary amount of attempts of dramatic effect.

The comedy relied mostly on concepts, rather than timing.

So while the animation is fine, there's this unfortunate disconnect that just makes me want to see how much time is left until the video is over. Good, try, but it could've been better.

I hate to tell you this, but while the animation is stylistically nice, it will probably be blammed. It's not a movie or even a small skit, it looks like a test. This is the kinda thing that would be tolerated on YouTube but this is Newgrounds. This won't hold up here.

I'll it 3 stars for looking nice.

The colors and animation are great, but the writing not so much.

That was pretty clever! Funny stuff! I can see you took advantage of the small duration by shading it, but I think the background could've had a little more detail, or at least be blurred. But whatever, it made me laugh. Good work!

How I do the goof.
Step 1. Thing hit other thing.
Step 2. Screen shake.
Step 3. Funny sound.
