What if World of Light was a roguelike?

[Perkilator]

Nickelodeon All-Star 2 has a brand-new campaign mode that acts as a roguelike, so it made me think "what if World of Light was like this?" I made an entire Google Document fleshing out this idea but here's the TL;DR version:

• Gameplay: You travel along branching paths through dimensional rifts lifted straight from the Kirby series and each level has a fighter to save. The levels can either be swarms of enemies, action stages or target tests
• Spirits: Before you can travel to a level, you have to fight one of three random Spirits and beating them opens a rift in the spot the Spirit was at
• Bosses: The bosses are mostly the same as in canon, but I also added Mega Rayquaza and Magician Type-0 as bosses
• Endings: While you can choose your ending, to get the best ending you have to rescue every single fighter, which requires a minimum of five runs assuming you take a single path (for example, if you only went down the middle path) and follow it to the end

Essentially, when I was turning WoL into a roguelike, my primary focus was making something akin to a mix of Melee's Adventure Mode and Smash 3DS's Classic Mode and Smash Run.

Hmmm.... Sounds like Fire Emblem games fit that description

That sounds much, much more fun than what we ended up with, to be honest.
