User:The Jacketed Terrapin/Third-Party Universe Catalog

NOTE: Although this sandbox is not marked as a draft, it is free for anyone to edit, so long as these rules are followed: •Only third-party universes that have yet to have any direct representation in the Super Smash Bros. series are allowed. The dependent universes that are listed on the List of minor third-party universes page are fair game, however, as those do not have the standard infoboxes that the other universes share. •You may not include any universes that are already added to my List of unrepresented universes or List of Chronicle universes pages. You can, however, add anything that is listed on this page, but only if it falls under the "Third-party games published by Nintendo outside of Japan" category. •Absolutely no explicitly erotic games allowed. Smash is supposed to be a family-friendly series (even if it does include characters that are anything but that), so these types of games have pretty much a 0% chance by default. •The only video game company I'm disallowing is Sony Interactive Entertainment, as there should be a PlayStation All-Stars 2 instead unlike Microsoft, no content owned by the company has any representation in the Smash series. •No primarily non-video game properties (Dragon Ball, Shrek, SpongeBob, you name it). Franchises that technically started out as non-gaming media, but are primarily video game franchises (such as Megami Tensei or Strider), are fair game, however. •Stuff like descriptions, infobox info, or even adding universes on here is free for anyone to edit, but only I decide what can stay and what goes (this especially applies to the above rule's statement of "technically has a non-gaming origin, but is primarily a gaming franchise"). Additionally, in order to avoid any unnecessary clutter on the "candidates for speedy deletion" tag pages, only I can add universe logos. •While this page isn't strictly tied to any universe type (whether it be major, secondary, or minor), universe descriptions may only be written like how they would appear on the minor universes pages (i.e. a brief description that doesn't write like an entire 5 or so-page essay). •Should a universe on this page actually get representation in the Smash series, it should be removed from this page.

With how many third-party universes that are being included in the Smash series recently, whether they get playable fighters or not, I decided to make a safe-haven for potential third-party candidates which anyone can include, provided they follow the rules above.
