Prediction about the upcoming game Sparklink Stars Part 1
There's a new Disney game called Sparklink Stars. As far as I know, it's a Disney x Pixar franchises, similar to Twisted Wonderland. The characters are representations of the classic Disney characters rather than the characters themselves, so they are not Disney characters turned into Anime boys. As a Twisted Wonderland fan, I wanted to make some predictions about this game and write about how I feel about it.
Note: I barely know anything about the game, everything I'm talking about are assumptions. I'm just a little bit exited for this game.
Right now, the game hasn't revealed anything besides the characters and their voice actors. The official website isn't complete yet.
Based on their designs, personalities, and quotes, it seems like they are idols and students. I assume the characters are learning how to, and have the responsibility to, keep dreams and/or magic alive, since the official x (@spalik_jp) account keeps mentioning dreams and magic.
Most recently, the official account has started slowly revealing each character. Right now, they're introducing the characters from Endelore, which is based on Beauty and the Beast.
I'm predicting, from left to right, the characters are based on Cogsworth, Lumiere, Beast and the Enchantress that curse the prince.
Reasons: Based on the pattern of the previous character reveals, I think they'll introduce the "Beast" character first (the blue guy in the middle). "Mickey," or Neo Michel, and "Mike," or Rafta Vox, were introduced first, and they seem to be the lead vocalists (assuming they're an idol group). They were also placed in the center of the silhouette teaser, which makes me think the same pattern will continue.
Some people have speculated that the yellow silhouette could be "Belle," and I would have agreed if it weren't for the major implications of the relationship between the "Beast" and "Belle." Twisted Wonderland has always been very clever with its Ho Yay content, keeping it subtle enough for fans to notice but not obvious enough for casual players. Because of that, I think it's unlikely they would make male counterparts of such a famous romantic couple.
I've also seen a user predict that the green silhouette could be the Enchanted Mirror and the red silhouette could be the Enchanted Rose. The reason I'm against this theory is that, as far as I can tell, the game seems to be choosing famous characters rather than objects or animals. Also, in the original movie, the rose is a representation of the Beast's heart, so it wouldn't make much sense to turn it into a separate character.
Finally, the reason I believe the green silhouette could be the Enchantress is because of the pattern in the previous group reveals. When the Upbeat and aMazinc groups introduced their characters, the last reveal was always the most unexpected.
In the Upbeat group, we got "Mickey," "Donald," and "Goofy," but then the final two characters were "Chip" and "Dale"—characters who aren't usually grouped with the main trio. In aMazinc (based on Monsters, Inc.), the last character was surprisingly Roz, a supporting character that have like three scenes. So I think the final green silhouette could be the Enchantress because
1. She's green
2. It'd be unexpected
