I don't think any of it's actually been confirmed by the developers, but I also want to be more lenient with these things. Obviously if we were making a page for official Smash costumes then these would be ridiculous ideas, but SSF2 is being made by a group of fans who are much more willing than Nintendo to make jokes or loose references. I honestly don't see how the same developers who make Captain N references on Twitter, Jojo references in Sandbag's Final Smash, and elaborate April Fools' Day jokes every year wouldn't be willing to reference these kinds of things in something as simple and inconsequential as costumes.

We also haven't seen every costume yet and not everything's been confirmed, so we'll have to see more before we can confirm how jokey the devs are willing to be. In fact, we already have a Wario costume apparently based on a character with no connection to his own series, so anything is really possible.

(On a side note, the DIC shows are official media, and very popular media at that. Just because they're cheesy doesn't mean they aren't valid.)
