Yes, but as a character, he would feel like Dr. Mario or Pichu in Melee. A clone. He's not even big enough to be an Assist Trophy. We have never gotten a Paper Mario stage, and he's been around since the N64 days, same as SSB. Also, Dr. Mario actually WAS a character, and though no one wanted him to be a character, a lot of people want him to be a costume change for Mario. I have honestly never heard anyone suggest Paper Mario for costume or character. I enjoy his games, but he's not going to appear playable in SSB4.
