Just chiming in here.

There was a thread on the old boards (unfortunately gone forever) where Greg talked a bit about the development of SSF1. Among other things, he mentioned that most of the official Smash characters did not get in because of a lack of sprites. Specifically, he did mention the N64 characters Ness and Yoshi. He also said that while he did have DK sprites, he decided against adding him because his DKC sprites didn't look right in comparison to the other characters.

He also mentioned that he was going to add Luke Skywalker from Super Star Wars to the game, but didn't have enough sprites, so he went with Mr. Incredible instead.
