No, Cuphead still isn't in Smash Bros. - he's only a Mii costume for now - but artist Daniel Cortes has imagined a world where Smash Bros. is in Cuphead instead.
As part of a daily challenge to himself, Cortes is drawing every single Smash Bros. character in the signature art style of Cuphead, based on 1930s "rubberhose" cartoons. He's only on day 18 so far, which means he's covered some of the big hitters - Mario, Luigi, Peach and friends - and he's now making his way through some of the weirder Smash Bros. inclusions, like Simon Belmont from Castlevania and Ridley from Metroid.
Check out a small selection of Cortes' work below, or go to his Twitter page to keep up with the daily posts.

Why does link look like he wants to kick my ass? (Very good art btw I love it just as much as I love the game)
This is has made my day, I love people's creativity these days!
Would love a new Mario game (that's actually NEW) in this art style, or something along the lines of this at least.
Duck hunt is perfect for this Max Fleischer art style.
Link looks like he’s been kicked in the bokoblin.
Let’s hope nobody is baking cookies in the Duck Hunt household...
Let’s also hope someone gets this reference.
I can't wait to see the likes of Shulk and Byleth in this style.
Someone come get me when he gets to Daisy.
I guess I am in a minority. Really not a fan of this style or Cuphead.
I love Peach's drawing
@JimmySpades I 100% agree
Love it! Looks great! Would be super cool to see a Nintendo game in this style.
lol nice bedroom eyes, Duck Hunt. XD
The mario ones look like the Super Mario Brothers Super show animations, Luigi especially.
Duck hunt is for sure about to be someone’s new profile pic lol
Lol link looks like he needs to go to the toilet ASAP. Pressing out that dark calamity is hard work 🤣🤣🤣.
But serious tho, i want a mario game with this art style!
That's some nice fanart.
Now draw Kirby in this style of I will donate to you. You've been warned. You have 3 days.
@HotGoomba___Rebrand It looks like he's going in the games' release order, so Kirby should be coming up fairly soon, being an NES-era character.
@Sabrewing Kirby is actually from the very early SNES era.
@Heavyarms55 You might be in the minority, but you're not alone. I'm not a fan of that animation style, and I despise the music which always accompanies it.
HOLY CRAP! This is one of my friends, Danny! It's awesome seeing his art recognized!
@Sabrewing Oh wow, I didn't expect a response so soon.
Amazing!
I always thought a new 2d Mario in a cartoony style like Rayman or the Super Mario Cartoon WOD be awesome
PAC Man just looks like regular PAC Man.
Mario and Luigi look like they’re from that awful CD-i game!
@AndyC_MK84 good luck with everything and hope you pursue all your goals! I understand how you feel but you can always regulate your time online like we all do with gaming. This place is a great escape with some cool and funny people to interact with. I manage a music store full time and do electrical installations for the company as well. I come here on breaks and any other free time at work. I wouldn’t say leave completely but I also won’t tell you what you should do. Like I said though, good luck with everything! 😁
Call it what it is, rubber hose style. Cuphead Didn't invent it, they only revitalized it. I know this sounds like "new thing is bad because everyone likes it" mainly cuz it is. Just dont forget cupheads origins.
I love the designs, but there's one BIG issue that annoys me. Everyone has five fingers.
Slow news day, eh?
Utterly gorgeous artwork.
A lot of these, once you take the cuphead backdrop away, don't even look distinguished enough to be considered cuphead's artstyle.
I love the Luigi one! Reminds me of the old mario tv show. First time seeing link super angry though
Lots of people want games like these, I just wanna see them build a new tv show about smash or every smash character, like shorts. I do watch Disney + a lot so thats were I mostly see artwork like that so a whole bunch of shorts dedicated to smash characters and smash itself would be awesome
Makes me wish Cuphead would have a stage in SSBU.
Heh, I can see them moving!
My boy Link looking like he's developing anger issues.
@NatiaAdamo love that yw! pfp! ;D
Gives it an old school Nintendo artwork feeling. I had the coolest Mario pencil pouch.
@Thwomp_Stomper Your avatar is hilarious
@Heavyarms55
Actually, I kinda hate it. Like there's no charm or the charm has been sucked out and now they all look creepy.
Stunning Artwork....I love them...I will keep up with the new ones drawn....I wonder if you could do short animations with this style. Very talented. I wish you much success...
