Sakurai shares a sly reference to Super Mario RPG in his latest Smash Bros. Ultimate tweet

Those who wanted Geno to get a spot on the Smash Bros. Ultimate roster were a bit let down with the most recent Sakurai Presents feature, as it revealed Geno will be available as a Mii Fighter costume. Not exactly what fans wanted, but certainly better than nothing. While diehard fans are still trying to come to terms with the decision, Sakurai has sent out a special nod to the game Geno comes from.

In the twee above, you can see Mario, Bowser, and Genu facing off against the Final Smash of Sephiroth. This image is a direct reference to Super Mario RPG, as it features three characters you can have in your party. Sephiroth's inclusion is a nod to Culex, a hidden boss in Super Mario RPG that was meant as a nod to the Final Fantasy series. Once again, Sakurai shows his deep knowledge of gaming, and his special connection to the fans.
