The announcement date is same with the release date of Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania : October 5, 2021.
That means : Aiai is final DLC character for Super Smash Bros Ultimate !!!

Well, not 100%. But combined with this rumour :



I'm 80% sure. It could be a mii costume though, not a DLC fighter.

Still kinda hoping it be Dr. Eggman or another Sonic character. I mean sure Aiai is a Sega character so that's like second best.

My theory is ... Nintendo approached SEGA's RGG Studio (Nagoshi) to get Kiryu (Yakuza) for Smash.
Namco wanted Kiryu too for Tekken but Nagoshi said no.
Sony wanted Kiryu too for All Star Royale but Nagoshi said no.
So imagine if Nintendo could succeed getting him in Smash !



But of course Nintendo couldn't get him too,
since Nagoshi himself suddenly  said that he doesn't want Kiryu to be in fighting games.
So they opt another franchise created by Nagoshi : Super Monkey Ball.

Super Monkey Ball was one of the three (and the only third-party) launch title for the GameCube in Japan.
It was also the first SEGA's new franchise that released exclusively for Nintendo's console.
That's why it's a likely choice to be picked by Nintendo from among many SEGA's franchise.

I guess so. I'm happy for Aiai and all but it would of been nice if there was more of Sonic in a Mario-dominant game. But fans are still routing for Waluigi to make it in Smash, like that's ever gonna happen.

Waluigi's first appearance in Mario Tennis, right?
For the game creator, I think Aiai in the ball's gameplay is more interesting to explore than Waluigi with tennis racket.

While he debute in tennis, he's been in various Mario games and a fan favourite for Smash Bros... which is perhaps why Waluigi and Eggman may never make it to Smash because I think fan favourites are avoided.

He's a fan favourite for Smash Bros because he's the only of Mario Party series' human characters who hasn't been included.
They just wanted the roster to be complete.
Not that they really like Waluigi or prefer Waluigi over Mario.

In Mario Party or M&S Olympic series he's never been a favorite character in a poll.
Outside of Mario party series too, I bet Wario and Luigi is far far far more popular than him.
Nobody asked for Waluigi standalone game.

I also believe Waluigi should be in the WarioWare series. Like, even if they're not brothers, they're best friends aren't they?

The are close, but they have different goal.
Which sometimes lead to conflict.

Waluigi is jealous of Luigi.
He considered himself as Luigi's rival.
He always want to surpass him in anything.
He doesn't care how much money to spend in order to defeat Luigi.
That last one is the one that bothered Wario most.

Wario on other hand, doesn't care of rivalry at all.
All he care is treasure and making more money.
He's stingy, like uncle Scrooge, but not that rich.
He's not considering himself as Mario's rival.
He isn't interested in Mario if there is no coin or money involved.



That's why Wario never ask Waluigi to join Warioware projects.
First Waluigi isn't interested since it's not Luigi-related.
Second Wario doesn't trust Waluigi as his business partner since the way they spent on their money is different.
Their relationship works best in sports events.
For Waluigi, Wario could have all the rewards he wanted as long as Mario-Luigi duo is defeated.
Different goal that doesn't conflict each others.

Waluigi is jealous of Luigi.
Luigi is often depicted as cowardly and somewhat of a loser at times that why would Waluigi want his shoes? Does that mean Waluigi wishes Mario regards him as a brother? Which would explain why he would hang around Wario if that desire is somewhat met with Wario.
