Experimenting with changing the Spirit Battle Inspiration/Trivia

New Spirit Battle Template

This was introduced as an idea from CanvasK during a discussion on how to simplify the new Spirit Battle template that can be read easier on all devices so that it doesn't appear too cramped. Here is the formula for making the templates easier to read:

Spirit			Battle parameters
No.	Image	Name	Enemy Fighter(s)	Type	Power	Stage	Rules	Conditions	Music
???		???	???	???	???	???	???	???
Spirit Battle inspiration: Other trivia:

Example:

Spirit			Battle parameters
No.	Image	Name	Enemy Fighter(s)	Type	Power	Stage	Rules	Conditions	Music
104		Geno	•Sheik •Peach •Kirby •Bowser •Mario		13,700	Mario Galaxy (Battlefield form)	N/A	•Defeat the main fighter to win •Timed battle (2:30) •The enemy's FS Meter charges quickly	Rainbow Road Medley
Spirit Battle inspiration: Sheik and Geno are both characters who are fast, wears headgears, and assumed alternate forms of their true identities. The minions represents the rest of the player’s party in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, which, in addition to Geno, consists of Mario, Peach, Bowser and Mallow (represented by Kirby). The Mario minion starting off with a Green Shell represents Mario's NokNok Shell. The Peach minion's Autoheal ability references Princess Toadstool's healing spells. The Kirby minion and Mallow are both blob-like creatures with simple eyes. The stage, music, and the Warp Star item enabled in this spirit battle references the Star Road, a celestial realm and Geno's place of origin where he descended from as a star and inhabited the Geno doll. Sheik starting off with a Super Scope and the Star Rod item enabled in this spirit battle reference Geno's various blasters built into his body, including the Star Gun, which can unleash a volley of star-shaped projectiles. The Fast FS Meter battle condition applied to Sheik references Geno's star meter, which allows him to unleash powerful attacks when timed correctly. Other trivia: This spirit is obtainable through summoning, referencing how Geno is summoned to the Mushroom Kingdom to retrieve the Star Pieces and restore the wishes to the world. In World of Light, Geno's spirit is located in the Outer Space section, referencing Geno's identity as a star who originated from the Star Road in Legend of the Seven Stars.

Recently, certain Spirit Battles have featured changes only made possible when purchasing downloadable content. Initially, the tables indicating DLC changes were colored grey: Example:

Spirit			Battle parameters
No.	Image	Name	Enemy Fighter(s)	Type	Power	Stage	Rules	Conditions	Music
966		Rex	•Shulk (90 HP) •Lucina (90 HP)		9,900	Kongo Falls (Ω form)	•Hazard: Lava Floor	•The floor is lava •Stamina battle •The enemy starts the battle with a Fire Bar	Battle!! - Xenoblade Chronicles 2	Spirit Battle inspiration: Shulk and Rex are both the main protagonists of each Xenoblade Chronicles game, who also met briefly in a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC cutscene. The Lucina minion represents Pyra, Rex's main Blade in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The stage, without DLC, references Fonsett Island, a jungle-like area where Rex was raised in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The music represents Rex's appearance in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Shulk starting off with a Fire Bar and the Lava Floor hazard, without DLC, references Pyra's status as a Fire Blade with the ability to engulf the battlefield in flames. Other trivia: In World of Light, Rex's spirit is located in the Lost Woods section of the Sacred Land map similar to the stage's setting, without DLC.
						Cloud Sea of Alrest (Ω form)	N/A	•Stamina battle •The enemy starts the battle with a Fire Bar	Argentum

But in this new template, the Spirit Battles with the DLC changes cannot be indicated with a grey color, but are separated on the same row with four hyphens (----): Example:

Spirit			Battle parameters
No.	Image	Name	Enemy Fighter(s)	Type	Power	Stage	Rules	Conditions	Music
966		Rex	•Shulk (90 HP) •Lucina (90 HP)		9,900	Kongo Falls (Ω form) Cloud Sea of Alrest (Ω form)	•Hazard: Lava Floor	•The floor is lava •Stamina battle •The enemy starts the battle with a Fire Bar	Battle!! - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Argentum
Spirit Battle inspiration: Shulk and Rex are both the main protagonists of each Xenoblade Chronicles games, who met briefly in a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC cutscene. The Lucina minion represents Pyra, Rex's main Blade in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The stage, without DLC, references Fonsett Island, a jungle-like area where Rex was raised in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The music represents Rex's appearance in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Shulk starting off with a Fire Bar and the Lava Floor hazard, without DLC, references Pyra's status as a Fire Blade with the ability to engulf the battlefield in flames. Other trivia: In World of Light, Rex's spirit is located in the Lost Woods section of the Sacred Land map similar to the stage's setting, without DLC.
1,442		Aerith	•Zelda •Cloud •Mii Swordfighter (Moveset 1312, Aerith's outfit, Normal Voice Type 6) •Cloud		7,500	Fountain of Dreams	•Health Recovery	•Defeat the main fighter to win •The enemy is healed after a little while	Aerith's Theme
Spirit Battle inspiration: Zelda's purple costume features Zelda's hair turning brown, referencing Aerith's brown hair. The Cloud minion and first battle condition reference how Cloud became Aerith's temporary bodyguard near the beginning of Final Fantasy VII. The Cloud minion, stage, and music reference the infamous scene from Final Fantasy VII where Aerith dies at the hands of Sephiroth and Cloud lays her to rest underneath the waters of the Forgotten City. The Health Recovery rule and this spirit's Autoheal ability references Aerith's Healing Wind and Pulse of Life Limit Breaks in Final Fantasy VII. Zelda's frequent Din's Fire, without DLC, and the Mii Swordfighter's moveset, with DLC, reference Aerith's ability to use magic to attack during battle. Other trivia: This spirit's Support type references how Aerith has utility and supportive Limit Breaks in Final Fantasy VII. Zelda representing Aerith, without DLC, is a running gag from a scene of Cloud's reveal trailer for Super Smash Bros. 4 and later continued with Sephiroth's reveal trailer for Ultimate as well as an image rewarded in the Challenge mode.
