LordNoah nailed it. when you run his animation you can clearly see hes tied to the staff that is attached to King Bulbin. the animation looks like him running.
they must have taken it out of brawl because it wasnt NECISARY and it looks like a dead child (not good considering nintendos target audience now days seems to be family games)
you can totally edit him, but like, why would u want to? if you wanted to make a little kid, I would start with Lucas or toon link....just saying.
When I said I wish he was in the game I meant I wish he was tied to the pole when king bulbin ran across the bridge, and lol at using him as the sandbag xD
