Here's something I actually meant to post multiple weeks ago and last month, but I lost all the info due to the same reset that caused me to loose all of the arrangement ideas for my parody.

However I still had the picture created and saved in Paint, the actual heights were just lost since they were in an untitled Notepad. (some of them might look a bit odd and compressed due to resizing the images from screenshots since the generator obviously wouldn't do that, to make sure it was entirely accurate, or as much as possible)

Please keep in mind that not everyone is here because these are only characters that have canonical height measurements or reasonable guessimates, thus meaning characters like Nico Nico that are impossible to measure as well as characters who don't have official heights and no good guessestimates have been made like DJ Professor K, although I will still talk about them.

Ajit Pai: While Metal Ajit is impossible to measure due to being fan-created, the real Ajit Pai is 5 foot 10 inches.

Geno: While Geno himself has no height for obvious reasons, I based it off Mario's. If the short squatty Mario in SMRPG is the same as the modern day Mario, Mario's official given height is 155cm, so based loosely on art, I put Geno as only slightly shorter at 153cm. (although now that I actually look at the Super Famicom box art, I should have probably put it as taller, fuck, just explain it as his hat)

Off the Hook ft. Paruko: Pearl's official height is 145cm, or 4'9". Marina is significantly taller at 178cm or 5'10". Paruko sadly due to how somewhat obscure she is in the actual game has no official height so I used her height in Kfad based off the height of the other characters, mainly the King for a Day 1 art due to the King for Another Day height being shot from slightly above and not head on. Been too long so I don't remember what I put due to it being so long ago (relatively), but it was probably like 5 feet and 4-6 inches just by adjusting it til it looked close enough to the art.

"Weird Al" Yankovic: Al is actually suprisingly tall at 6 foot even. Assuming 「BEAT IT」 is the exact same height, Michael Jackson was 5'9" which is actually remarkably close. His KfAD2 art isn't too far off then.

Unregistered HyperCam 2: Not pictured, due to being entirely impossible to measure. Due to being based on something digital and a generic camcorder, HyperCam has no specific size. Made worse by the fact it's size fluncuates heavily in art, with it both beinga third the size of the Splatoon girls and also sitting comfortably on ZUN's shoulder in KfaD1, (although those sketches were for fun by it's designer and not technically canon), a third Meowth's size , and half MissingNo.'s height in KfAD2. (although that doesn't technically mean anything either due to MissingNo. being an unstable glitch and also a shapeshifter, it wouldn't really have a specific size or height)

Pitbull: 5'7", ironically making him the manlet of all the irl characters. He certainly chose the right pseudoname.

Nintendo Power: Reggie is actually pretty intimidating, he's 6'1", strangely literally no information exists of Bill's height save for a couple of links that all are clearly operated by the same dubious site and due to the call-in submissions on it, the shadiness of the site and the conflicting measurements, I don't trust at all.

Will Smith: 6'2" which is actually pretty surprising, he could stare down Reggie. Although that's his current height, not when he was 20 in the 90s playing The Fresh Prince or in the 2000s as Agent J, so it's not technically correct, but servicable.

ZUN: I was actually surprised to actually find one for him due to his reclusive nature, I just had to put in his real name first. (Jun'ya Ota)  His height is 173cm.

Dancing Alien Team: Not on the chart due to being impossible to measure for obvious reasons.

Thanos: Actually pretty damn intimidating, his MCU version (which of course is the version used in King for a Day) is actually 8 feet and 3 inches tall. '>_> Intimidating to say the least. (Fyi, his comic book counterpart is a much more modest 6'7" although modest is stretching it)

Wario Bros./Wario Partners, LLP: Due to model measurements using Mario's official height of 5'1" as a basis and the weight classes of Mario Kart, someone on Reddit made an entire thread of giving educated estimates at Mario character's heights. It seems to be generally agreed upon across multiple fan threads and sources that Wario is 5'7", while the Reddit user (u/Waloogi686869 to give credit) was able to best guess the rather cartoonishly tall 7'1" but only with his knees bent slightly as a rough estimate due to Waluigi rarely standing up entirely straight.

King Dedede: A surprising one to be sure, and his game version only, not anime version, but he's actually only 3 feet tall. This is due to the fact that apparently the entire Kirby universe is actually pretty smol, Kirb's official height is only 20 centimeters meaning Dedede should actually tower over him. The Big D indeed.

Solid Snake: Snake's height varies across titles due to the Metal Gear series taking place across many years canonically. However his King for a Day version is mostly based on his appearance in Brawl, which is in turn based off his appearance in Metal Gear Solid 2. His height in-universe in 2005 during the events of Metal Gear Solid is 182cm as stated in the Japanese manual, however I didn't know that Metal Gear Solid 2 was somewhat of a prequel as apparently it takes place in 2002. Either way, that's the height I used. :/

DJ Professor K: Not shown since while it's comparatively easy to figure out, I don't have the ability to do it personally. K himself has no official height, but Beat does, being the protagonist and all, Beat's height is 167cm or 5ft 5.75 inches in American, so figuring out K's height is just merely popping open a model viewer and putting their models side by side then guessestimating at it.

Etika: 5'8"

Quote: No official height, but somebody on the Cave Story Forums (by the name of GimmickyHipster for kudos) used pixel measurements to equal it out. After doing some math and syaing each pixel equals 3.7 inches, most characters in the game including Quote himself are 15 pixels tall, he eventually ended up ith 152.6cm centimeters using the average height of 10-13 year olds, which is what he visually looks like.

Adam Levine: Is actually 6'0", the exact same height as Al.

Johnny Bravo: A dubious height of 6'2". His show's style isn't really the type to legit measure anybody and that goes for Cartoon Network shows in general. However multiple sources state 6'3", although one says 6'1", so I chose the middleground.

Mr. Krabs: While his driver's license showed up in one episode as a joke (and is also a comedic gold mine) it stated he was 7 inches tall. Ironically while this hasn't really been confirmed, the canonical height of SpongeBob himself is 4 inches by word of Hillenberg himself, meaning it's probably actually correct. (Remember that Stephen Hillenberg was a legit marine biologist, so of course he'd give semi-realistic sizes for the characters, SpongeBob and Patrick's apperance on David Hasslehoff in the first movie as well as SpongeBob SquarePants: Sponge Out of Water pretty much solidifies that the characters are actually canonically pretty tiny)

Mariya Takeuchi: Sadly the only sources I can find are the same shifty ones I found for Bill, that all have wildly varying user-submitted measurements, so she's not in the chart. I do however respect that she keeps it private as height and especially weight are pretty personal things over there, especially for woman, and considering she grew up through the 60s and 70s, she'd be pretty old-school about it. She still looks lovely though, even at 64.

Dr. Robotnik: Not pictured since due to the wacky nature of the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, could you really actually expect anything solid to come from it? Not using any other eggmen's heights either since 1. That's cheating and 2. They're all different people anyway. However if we consider that the AoStH Sonic is the same height as the in-game Sonic was at the time, (Classic Sonic doesn't count since that's retroactive, and it's also been confirmed from Forces he's a different character anyway, despite Generations) the manual for Sonic CD stated that Metal Sonic was 765.4 mm tall (they measured him like that due to being a robot), changing that into centimeters gives us 76.54cm, which when converted into a regular height measurement gives us a height of 2'6". Since Metal Sonic is the best replica of Sonic and they also have sprites of the exact same height ingame, it can be assumed that this is the height of Sonic during the 90s as well. Using this, if we then used scenes that both Sonic and Robotnik are in at the same time in the show we would be able to guess at his height, but I did enough work for this chart and aren't good with numbers. >_>

Daft Punk ft. Pharrell: Guy-Manuel is 5'7", Pharrell Williams is 5'9" but Thomas is actually a pretty impressive 6'2". You just usually can't tell this difference due to their large helmets, but in the rare case you geta picture of them without them it's actually pretty stunning.

Papyrus: ooh boy, an undertale character. One of the most greatly contested things to debate the height of.  I just took literally every single measurement and averaged them out, while I don't remember the exact height, judging by Jack Black next to him I just went with the measurement that appeared the most (three times) and made the most sense (versus Pap being a towering skeletal man of 6 foot 1 >_>) which was 5'7", with that measurement often cropping up in pixel measurements.

Jack & Elmo: Jack Black is 5'6", while the height of Elmo's puppet is 24 inches tall.

Dr. Piccolo: Definitely not somebody you'd want to get a checkup with, between his irritable temper, 'methods' and intimidating height of 7'5", he's got quite a presence. This is due to the fact that canonically in the Dragon Ball universe Namekians are quite a bit taller than Saiyans, whom are noticeably on the tall side within human range already, thus averaging in the 7 foot range.

Jack Bros.: Usually demons in the series don't have official heights unless they're plot important, but due to being Atlus's mascot, Jack gets special privelages even if he has to show up in spin-offs, hee-ho. He shows up in the arcade game Purikara Daisakusen, (prior to his Megami Tensei appearances even) a spin-off of Power Instinct, another series by Atlus, where his height is given as 150cm. Mothman not important enough to get height measure. ):

HOBaRT: The mixer most resembling HOBaRT is the Hobart Legacy 60 Quart Commercial Floor Mixer, which in it's technical specs is mentioned to be 61.3 inches tall, or approximately 5 foot 1(with a lot of decimal numbers) inch.

Donkey Kong: Unknown for his cartoon counterpart, but his game counterpart is and, I used the latter since obviously the cartoon DK doesn't really walk like a regular gorilla.

MissingNo.: Interesting case since it's a glitch, in that it changes size depending on the game. In Pocket Monsters Green and Pocket Monsters Blue, it's Japanese Pokédex shows it at a frankly adorable and manigable default height of 1 meter tall. However in Pokémon Red, Blue and it's more toxic version in Yellow, due to the Metric Pokédexes having two numbers as the lowest amount and the Customary dexes having three, the numbering gets messed up, skyrocketing it's size in the American Pokédex  to the super intimidating height of 10 feet tall. Both were shown in the chart for comparsion with other characters, I'd image in King for a Day it'd probably stay around roughly 5-6 feet due to one meter turning into 3 feet and 3 inches in customary measurements and thus that being somewhat of an in-between, making it the size of a regular person, which considering it's appearance is only slightly less frightening.

The Jazz Cats: Not on the chart, due to being semi-original characters of SiIvaGunner and thus being impossible to measure like HyperCam.

Eminem: 5'8", same as another rapper on this list.

Law & Disorder: Phoenix Wright is 5'9" or 176cm, while for obvious reasons, Monokuma's changes between games. Thus I went with the most used, he is 75cm tall in both Danganronpa 1 and 3, versus 65cm in Danganronpa 2.

As for the hosts and bonus characters who aren't contestants, they aren't shown, but John Notwoodman doesn't have a height since Wood Man doesn't since the real Wood Man doesn't, Meowth is 1 foot and 4 inches tall in the games, and Mr. Bean is 5'11".
