We're going to start with the bad news. There will be no updates to the Smash Bros. Dojo next week and, in turn, no Dojo Dump next Friday. The lazy bums at Nintendo are taking a week off to rest comfortably in hammocks or possibly scrounge up fresh content from Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the official site. At least this week contains some gems, some of which we've already covered. We get a fresh look at personal favorite Wario and a healthy dose of Sonic the Hedgehog, who I wouldn't mind never hearing from again. The rest? Well, it's mostly filler. On with the Dump!
Monday: Take a look Wario's overalls. You might prefer these over his WarioWare biker duds.
Tuesday: Sonic's Final Smash makes him into a golden god. For more of the hedgehog, listen to the Angel Island Zone theme remix.
Wednesday: Collection obsessives will want to learn more about Trophy Stands and how they're used.
Thursday: Looking to earn more trophies (and stickers)? You'll have to try your luck at Coin Launcher a simple shooting game.
Friday: The Dragoon item is detailed as is info on how to Share your data with Smash Bros. Friends. Good times.
We'll see you in a fortnight!

I do prefer the overalls over his biker outfit.
The coin launcher game looks interesting.
They better do a Green Hill Zone remix or someone's getting stabbed. I don't really care who.
I wish this game would come out faster.
coin laucher sure beats the stupid lottery
I don't know about them Trophy Stands.. first update I didn't like.
xpnet, it's like Pokemon, and who the hell doesn't enjoy some Pokemon action?
I'm personally most thrilled by the Dragoon update.
"I'm going to have you play every inch of this game" is a quote made of win.
Looks like, with the game coming out in less than a month (and therefore, assuredly complete now), we should be getting some pretty good updates in the new year! Not to mention, review copies will start being shipped to various places, and we'll get a ton more video footage and such.
It's time to finish up my other games. I feel like I'm living on borrowed time! Once February 10th comes around, I may not survive.
I loved Kirby Air Ride's City Trial mode (Didn't have the game but played it at a friends house), I had fun with that game that I only had when I was a little kid, the multiplayer in city trial (with the preparations for the event to come) was just perfect for me, the Dragoon parts in Brawl are a great touch.
Not a bad week!
No Dojo Dump my ass, McWhertor!
You're gonna do your 5 favorite Dojo Updates next Friday is what you're gonna do, damnit!
DO IT! Do it for Mr. Fap☆Fap! and the children.
@xpnet: I'm aphrehensive about the trophy stand stuff too, but then I realized that a full five years after I bought Smash Bros Melee, I still hadn't collected all of the trophies. I finally did early this year. I expect I'll continually be unlocking tiny tidbits of content like music tracks or trophies like that for years with this game too.
And yes, it is like snagging a Pokemon. Not a bad choice for adding game mechanics.
@Mr. Fap☆Fap!: Oh okay! Maybe I'll do a lookback on the Biggest Dumps of 2007.
The official Nintendo guide was bundled with Melee when I got it, so I knew how to unlock the hard trophies. I also unlocked as many characters as I could first so I could try them all out :X
@McWhertor: Fapping and dumps do not mix. Or maybe they do? One second...
Yet another awful week, although the Dragoons actually look really cool. Golden Sonic ftw.
It was an okay week. I expect some mind numbing updates when they decide to update again.
@shrewd: I saw the Nintendo Power Melee guide in stores after the game was released, and I kind of perused it, looking at the pretty pictures and naive strategies. Then, after years of playing it, I really wanted to try and find (and buy) that guide for nostalgia's sake. But I couldn't find it anywhere, and didn't want to pay a ridiculous amount on ebay/amazon for it.
I'm going to buy some Brawl strategy guides when the game comes out, this time! Not with the intent of really using them, but for bathroom reading material and for future nostalgia.
@Mr. Fap☆Fap!: I'm going to qoute Sakurai from the dojo
"This guy needs to calm down"
I absolutely love the Angel Island Remix.. Anyway I could download that?
Supposedly the games gone Gold
@Ouenben: Supposedly that was just the shipping site's placeholder image, not an actual notification of printing.
Super Sonic seems weird but I'm diggin that dragoon alot.
They need to have some in-game references to Joy Mech Fight. That would be rad. Oh, they need to add more MACH RIDER.. MORE!!!
Sakurai has 14 more tries to get some epic information to the masses before the game hits in Japan. Then Youtube will be flooded with everything we ever wanted to know.
Time to get it in gear.
That Dragoon item makes it sorta like Powerstone. So does the Smash Ball. Combine Power Stone and SSB and you couldn't fail.
@McWhertor:
Huzzah! I shall look forward to it!
...as will the children.
PLEASE Kotaku, PLEASE don't post spoilers in the front page.
