Indeed, I was thinking if it were possible to somehow make the pikmin use olimar's motionetc instead of the one in the costumes and make them placeable (like placing a hitbox on the ThrowN bone) then it'd be easier to make Naruto... Or 4 swords adventure Toon Link
This would take a while and a lot of testing though, and most likely some codes... I was thinking making pikmin not die and always be there but invisible unless used to bypass the AI? Tough stuff...
as i said to afew ppl not sure my ideas for Naruto over olimar will work but i got to try if they do
if not i got plans for over Ike that i know will work (hopefully)
also i dont said naruto revamp is next (possible will be if Young naruto model import will be made with HQ texture)
next after vegeta it is gotenks and after him it is kid goku or port the best knuckles moveset over jiggypuff and maybe revamp it if needed
