Ori and the blind forest dash in air skin#

Another palette will almost invert Ori’s colours, giving them dark purple (almost black) skin and white eyes as a reference to characters like Kuro, Ku, and Naru. Three of the palette swaps will be borrowed from Rivals of Aether, making Ori light red, light blue, and light green, with their regular eye colour in all of the cases. In addition, Ori's appearance in Rivals of Aether can help to give the uninitiated an idea of how he might work in Smash Bros. (platformers with an emphasis on exploration and gaining new abilities, like the Metroid games or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) As a result, there's a lot of material to draw from for the character (as anyone who's played a Metroidvania will know, characters get a ton of different abilities by the end of it, and Ori plays quite differently between their two games), and a large amount of locations to work with for potential stages, ranging from the Spirit Tree that Ori originated from to icy mountaintops, harsh deserts, dark caves, or foggy forests. Ori and the Blind Forest and its sequel, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, are Metroidvanias. (Ori is, as far as I can tell, genderless, so I'll stick with 'Ori', 'they', or 'them') While Ori started out as being exclusive to Microsoft consoles (and PC, much like a lot of Microsoft's major releases as of late), Ori and the Blind Forest received a Switch port last year, and as of the time that I'm writing this, Rivals of Aether: Definitive Edition (which includes Ori as a playable character) is coming to the Switch some time this month.

Ori is a small guardian spirit whose quest to find a family gets him wrapped up in all sorts of dramatic adventures. First Appearance: Ori and the Blind Forest (Windows and Xbox One, 2015)įirst Nintendo Appearance: Ori and the Blind Forest (Switch, 2019)
