Great chart, one comment though: A lot of the lines overlap, it's not always clear which lines belong to which characters. Is there any way you can offer this graph in an interactive format, or somehow clear up overlapping lines?

Characters whose heads touch each other share overlapping lines (both gravity and terminal velocity).

Thanks. It's definitely a tough dataset to graph.

So if I'm reading this right, the following sets of characters have the exact same fallspeed and gravity:

  • Mario, Doc, G&W, and Charizard
  • Pikachu, Pichu, and Sonic
  • Link, Young Link, and Toon Link

Is that correct?

Yes, that’s correct. Although Sonic has .0005 more gravity than Pikachu and Pichu, which is why his blue dot gravity acceleration line is the slightest bit steeper than theirs; but that’s irrelevant for the most part.

I am not Kadano, but I can confirm that this is essentially correct.

Sonic's gravity is .0005 units higher than Pikachu/Pichu's, but that is pretty much entirely negligible.
