No. You said "there is Nintendo characters in it so it must be a second party title". Smash contains characters from Bandai Namco, Sega, Square Enix or other companies, but neither Bandai Namco nor Square are second party companies

First of all, Smash is a first party games.Nintendo owns the IP, the game is developed by them, even if they outsource some of it.Lets just get that of the way.

Having said that, I dont understand what your point is.Nintendo is developing the game, and they hired Bandai to help with the development.So its a first party game, plain and simple.About the part of using non Nintendo characters: First, most of the characters in the game is from Nintendo, so the game hardly revolves around third party characters.Second, Nintendo didnt commissioned to Square nor Bandai the game, nor do they dictate where the game needs to be release or its exclusiveness.They only have rights to that character, and nothing else.In Kingdom Battle case, the game will only be release where Nintendo wants it to be release.It is out of Ubisoft hands.

It's just a cross-over to a Rabbids gamr, not a Mario game, Nintendo doesn't own the Rabbids licence, Ubisoft only does, that's it. It's a third-party exclusive, like Octopath is. The game is developped and published by Ubisoft. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to discuss it, no one over the internet considers it as a second party title except you.
