SmashWiki article:Lucina (SSB4)

Lucina's artwork forSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

Lucina is an unlockable character in bothSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. To unlock her in the Nintendo 3DS version, the player must either complete Classic Mode as Marth without the use of continues or play 40 Smash matches, then defeat her in a 1-stock match on theArena Ferox stage. In the Wii U version, the player can unlock her by completing Classic Mode on Intensity 5.5 or higher or by playing 30 Smash matches, then defeating her in a 1-stock match on theColiseum stage. She is voiced byYū Kobayashi in the Japanese versions of the games, and byLaura Bailey in the English versions, both reprising their roles fromFire Emblem Awakening. She was originally meant to be an alternative costume forMarth, but was later made a separate character, the reason being that she has traits that differentiate her from Marth.^[1] Lucina is the only unlockable character that was announced before the Japanese release of the Nintendo 3DS version.

Lucina's moves are all shared with Marth, including her custom variants: her standard special is Shield Breaker, her up special is Dolphin Slash, her side special is Dancing Blade, her down special is Counter, and herFinal Smash is Critical Hit. However, the main difference between Marth and Lucina is in their sword attacks; while Marth's sword delivers more damage near the tip of the blade but is otherwise extremely weak, Lucina's is balanced throughout.

Lucina's palette swaps are based on other female characters inFire Emblem Awakening. In addition, one of her taunts has her briefly put on the mask she wears when disguised as "Marth", which is also used byKirby when she iscopied by him. Finally, Lucina has alternate victory quotes that have a chance of playing if she defeats either Marth orIke.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Lucina (SSBU)

Lucina returns as an unlockable playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. This time, she is classified as an Echo Fighter of Marth. Lucina's victory theme is now a short arrangement of "Id (Purpose)", a song fromFire Emblem Awakening. Lucina retains the same major gameplay difference setting her apart from Marth; her sword attacks dealing consistent damage across the entirety of her blade.

Classic Mode route

Similarly toYoung Link's route, Lucina's Classic Mode route features otherFire Emblem fighters; like withPac-Man, the opponents are fought in backward chronological order of their games of origin were released.

Super Mario Maker

Lucina appears as aCostume Mario costume inSuper Mario Maker. Her costume can be unlocked either by using heramiibo, or by completing 100 Mario Challenge on Expert difficulty or higher. Like the otherFire Emblem series character costumes, Lucina uses sound effects fromFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light. Pressing causes her to put her mask on.

• Like with her official appearance, Lucina's in-game model features the Mark of Naga on her left eye. Masahiro Sakurai has said that, as it is such a small detail, most players likely will not notice it during normal gameplay.
• Along withKing Dedede, Lucina's name is announced differently in the Japanese and Korean versions of theSuper Smash Bros. games to reflect the pronunciation in said languages. As ofSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, this also applies toSimon,Richter, andKing K. Rool in the Japanese version.

SmashWiki article:Dark Pit (SSB4)

Dark Pit makes an appearance as an unlockable fighter inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Dark Pit can be unlocked by playing 50 Smash matches or clearing Classic with three different characters and then defeating him onReset Bomb Forest, while inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, he is unlocked by playing 40 matches or clearing All-Star on Normal difficulty, then defeating him onPalutena's Temple. He was originally planned to be an alternate costume for Pit, but was made a full character after he began to receive balancing differences to give him distinct records^[2];Masahiro Sakurai also thought it would be odd for him to wield theThree Sacred Treasures, and the team had already modeled the Electroshock Arm^[3]. Dark Pit is the only newcomer who did not have a reveal trailer; his inclusion in the game was instead hinted at the end of Palutena's trailer. Like inKid Icarus: Uprising, Dark Pit shares his voice actors with Pit, who also reprise their roles for this game: Antony Del Rio in English and Minami Takayama in Japanese.

Dark Pit's abilities are almost the same as Pit's, but there are a handful of noticeable differences. His standard special is the Silver Bow, which lets him fire a controllable arrow like Pit's Palutena Bow, and his side special is the Electroshock Arm, which lets him charge forward and uppercut opponents with an electric attack. His up and down special moves, Power of Flight and Guardian Orbitars, respectively, are identical to Pit's moves; the former gives Dark Pit a quick burst of flight, while the latter lets Dark Pit defend himself with a pair of shields. His Final Smash is the Dark Pit Staff, in which he fires the staff to deal high damage and knockback to opponents.

Dark Pit has average weight, being heavier thanRobin,Roy, andPac-Man, lighter thanLuigi,Villager and a lightest possibleMii Fighter, while weighing the same as Pit andWii Fit Trainer.

Dark Pit has a distinct victory theme from the otherKid Icarus characters, being a brief excerpt of Dark Pit's Theme fromKid Icarus: Uprising. He also has a special victory quote that sometimes plays if Pit is in the match.

Dark Pit returns inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate as an unlockable playable character. This time, he is classified as an Echo Fighter based on Pit. Dark Pit can be unlocked by playing VS. mode matches, being the 54th character unlocked. Dark Pit can also be unlocked in Classic Mode through Samus's unlocking tree, or joining the player's party in Adventure Mode: World of Light.

In the Adventure mode, both Pit and Dark Pit are present when the fighters opposeGaleem for the first time.Palutena tries to reflect Galeem's large laser attack while granting the Power of Flight to both Pit and Dark Pit, but fails and is eliminated, cutting off Pit and Dark Pit's flight and causing them to fall to Galeem's attack as well.

Additionally, Dark Pit makes appearances in two newly recordedPalutena's Guidance conversations, namely those of theIce Climbers andWolf.

Punch-Out!! series

Little Mac fightingDonkey Kong in the Wii version ofPunch-Out!!

The original protagonist of the arcadePunch-Out!! andSuper Punch-Out!! titles fights several fighters for the world championship, and is depicted as a tall, green-haired man with a cleft chin who appears as a wireframe model during gameplay. The character "Little Mac" did not appear untilPunch-Out!! for theNES (also known asMike Tyson's Punch-Out!!), which featured a younger and shorter protagonist mentored by his manager and trainer, Doc Louis. Mario cameos as the referee.

InSuper Punch-Out!! for theSNES, there was initially confusion over whether the protagonist of the game was Little Mac or an entirely different character, due to said protagonist featuring sandy blond hair, a pair of blue shorts, and lacking a tank top. Nintendo of America later clarified that the two are indeed the same character,^[4] with Little Mac having changed his appearance after splitting ways with Doc Louis.

After a 15-year hiatus, thePunch-Out!! series was rebooted witha titular installment for theWii. After fighting through all of his opponents once again, Mac gets tired of his fame and decides to go out in a blaze of glory. Dubbed "Mac's Last Stand", his condition for retiring and thus vacating the world championship is losing three times. In this game,Donkey Kong appears as a secret opponent, and his record is displayed as 0-0 (0 wins, 0 losses). In the latest title so far,Doc Louis's Punch-Out, he spars with Doc.

WarioWare series

WarioWare: Smooth Moves

Little Mac standing triumphantly while Mario counts out his opponent inWarioWare: Smooth Moves.

WarioWare: Smooth Moves features amicrogame called "Punch-Out!!" based on the game of the same name. In it, Mac knocks out his opponent (who changes depending on the difficulty), and the player, as Mario, has to count down the KO. Mac cheers if the count reaches ten in time.

WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase

Little Mac dodging his opponent's attacks inWarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase.

In the microgamePunch-Out!! inWarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, Mac, controlled by the player, has to dodge his opponent's attacks. If all of the attacks are dodged, Mac knocks him out, while getting hit results in Mac getting knocked out.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Little Mac inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl

Little Mac appears inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl as anAssist Trophy. Once he appears, he throws a damagingone-two combo against enemies while moving quickly around the stage. After a while, he will throw an extremely powerful uppercut that launches enemies far before disappearing. Little Mac is among the strongest Assist Trophies in the game, as he can KO opponents as early as 35%. He is also invulnerable, although he can nevertheless be rendered useless if he falls off the stage.

“Little Mac Punches In!”

—Introduction, "Champion of the Ring" Trailer

Little Mac was revealed as a new playable character inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U on February 13, 2014, becoming the first fighter in the series to have previously been an Assist Trophy.^[5] Unlike inBrawl, Little Mac sports a slightly modified version of his design from the Wii version ofPunch-Out!! As expected for a boxer, Little Mac is a close-ranged fighter, with all but one of his moves being some variation of a punch.

Although he is among the fastest characters in the game and his ground attacks are powerful, Little Mac is far weaker while in the air, as his attack power severely decreases. Additionally, Mac's jumping and aerial attributes are very poor, with his air speed being his only aerial attribute that is at least average. To compound this, Little Mac is a lightweight, making it easy for fighters to send him flying.

Little Mac uniquely has a Power Meter that charges whenever he inflicts and/or receives damage. When the meter is fully charged, it changes his neutral special attack to the powerful KO Uppercut.^[6] However, as with his other aerial attacks, KO Uppercut is severely weaker when performed in the air.

Little Mac's standard special is the Straight Lunge, which causes him to wind up his arm and then dash forward to perform a powerful cross. His side special is the Jolt Haymaker, which is a leaping overhand. His up special is the Rising Uppercut, in which he leaps into the air and first attacks with a corkscrewing uppercut and then finishes with a second uppercut with the opposite fist. His down special is the Slip Counter, in which he performs a full crouch stance and immediately counterattacks upon being hit by slipping inside and uppercutting the opponent. Little Mac'sFinal Smash transforms him into Giga Mac, a transformation that debuted in the Wii version ofPunch-Out!! Giga Mac functions similarly toGiga Bowser: he boasts considerably stronger attack power and is immune to flinching.

Little Mac has a number of alternate costumes that reference thePunch-Out!! series. Four are from the Wii version ofPunch-Out!!, which are based on his World Video Boxing Association (WVBA) Champion attire in Title Defense Mode; his attire in Contender Mode during the World Circuit; his attire during the Major Circuit; and his attire when used by player 2 in Head-to-Head Mode. Two are from the NES version ofPunch-Out!!, which are based on his signature pink hooded sweatsuit used during training sessions, and how he appears after he defeats any opposing boxers.

Another is based on the blond protagonist inSuper Punch-Out!!. Lastly, Little Mac also has "wireframe" variants of all his alternate costumes, based upon his appearance in the original arcade version ofPunch-Out!! In addition to making his body consist of green wireframe, Little Mac's voice is replaced by 8-bit sound effects, while his boxing gloves and sweatsuit's colors are inverted to being green and pink, respectively.

The overweight version of Little Mac fromCaptain Rainbow also appears as a trophy inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U.^[7] If Little Mac wins a match, Doc Louis appears alongside him on the results screen. When Little Mac uses a taunt, Doc Louis also appears to encourage him.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Little Mac (SSBU)

Little Mac returns as an unlockable playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, retaining many of his moves from the previous installment. His Final Smash is now Giga Mac Rush; while he still transforms into Giga Mac like in the previous installment, he can no longer move freely as him, instead attacking opponents on the spot with repeated punches. Little Mac benefits from the game's universal changes: his already quick mobility is faster; his recovery is greatly extended through the reintroduction of directional air dodges; his short hop timing is shortened; his aerial attacks have less landing lag; and he can now use any grounded attack out of a dash and any of his aerials on ladders. Little Mac's recovery further benefits from his side and up specials travelling farther, while attacks like his forward smash lose their weak hitboxes to deal consistent damage. On the flipside, however, his standard attack and forward and up tilts deal less damage, while some of his attacks deal less knockback. Also, his alternate costumes now consist of six normal costumes and two wireframe costumes, to keep the total number of costumes consistent with other characters.

Classic Mode route

Captain Rainbow

Little Mac after gaining weight inCaptain Rainbow

InCaptain Rainbow, Little Mac has been out of boxing for some time and has become largely obese due to the events of the game. The game's protagonist, Nick, helps him get back into shape. This appearance also appears as a trophy inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U.

NES Remix 2

InNES Remix 2, Little Mac makes an appearance in several mini-games based on the originalPunch-Out!! game. They all involve Mac beating various opponents with different restrictions, like knocking out Von Kaiser with an uppercut, blocking Great Tiger's attacks while the screen fades out, or beating a powerful Glass Joe.

Super Mario Maker

Little Mac makes an appearance as aMystery Mushroomcostume inSuper Mario Maker, which can be unlocked by scanning hisamiibo or randomly after completing the 100 Mario Challenge on Expert or higher. Upon transforming into him, the bell from the originalPunch-Out!! can be heard. The theme that plays after losing a match and the victory theme also play when the player loses a life and clears the course, respectively.

Luigi's Mansion 3

InLuigi's Mansion 3, Little Mac makes a cameo on a framed poster seen in one of the hallways in the theater. The poster also shows Doc Louis and Mr. Sandman, the final boss of the Wii game. It appears alongside posters based on otherNext Level Games-developed titles.^[8]

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

InThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, Little Mac has a cameo appearance in a picture inPunch-Out Pizzeria.

Its standard special move is Water Shuriken, one of its signature moves. Its side special is Shadow Sneak, its up special is Hydro Pump, and its down special is Substitute. Greninja'sFinal Smash is Secret Ninja Attack.

Palutena in Pit's Final Smash fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl

InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, Palutena is featured inPit'sFinal Smash, Palutena's Army. Pit calls her forth to assist him in battle, to which she then appears as a giant (not her actual size, but her chosen manifestation for this appearance). She will then summon an army ofCenturions to attack Pit's opponents, who attack by dive bombing at incredible speeds.

Palutena is also a supporting character in the Subspace Emissary. After witnessing the Subspace Bomb's effects, Palutena sends Pit to theWorld of Trophies to help stop theSubspace Army. Before he departs, she gives Pit her bow.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

Palutena's artwork fromSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

SmashWiki article:Palutena (SSB4)

InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, Palutena appears as a playable fighter and newcomer. Unlike most other fighters, though like theMii Fighters, Palutena's custom special moves are not variations of the default moves but rather entirely different moves, and all of them are available from the start.

Unlike Pit andDark Pit, Palutena is voiced in this game by Brandy Kopp rather thanAli Hillis as inKid Icarus: Uprising, while her Japanese voice actress,Aya Hisakawa, reprised her role from said game.

All of Palutena's custom moves are based on thePowers that appear inKid Icarus: Uprising. Her standard special moves areAutoreticle,Explosive Flame, andHeavenly Light. Her side specials areReflect Barrier,Angelic Missile, andSuper Speed. Palutena's down special moves areCounter,Lightweight, andCelestial Firework, and her up specials areWarp,Jump Glide, andRocket Jump. Finally, her Final Smash is theBlack Hole Laser, a combination of theBlack Hole andMega Laser powers.

In the Wii U version, a statue of Palutena appears in the background of the stagePalutena's Temple. Pit can use aSmash Taunt on this stage calledPalutena's Guidance, in which Palutena gives him information and advice about the opponent he is facing.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Palutena (SSBU)

Palutena returns inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, this time as an unlockable playable fighter. In this game, she has a set attack for each special move: her down special functions as both Counter and Reflect Barrier, possessing a similar property toKing K. Rool andJoker's similar moves; Warp appears as her up special; Explosive Flame appears as her side special; and Autoreticle appears as her neutral special. Generally, Palutena has been improved since the previous installment, having more speed and power in her attacks, while her mobility is increased. Palutena's forward and down smash attacks are both nicknamed Goddess Wings, while her down aerial's nickname is Purging Kick.

Palutena also makes an appearance in the World of Light's opening cutscene, where she tries to reflectGaleem's large laser attack while granting the Power of Flight to both Pit and Dark Pit, but fails and is eliminated, cutting off Pit and Dark Pit's flight and causing them to fall to Galeem's attack as well. The real Palutena does not appear until Galeem starts to confrontDharkon after the first defeat; she represents Galeem's side in the Final Battle area alongsideRoy andMaster Hand, and must be awoken to progress the story.

Classic Mode route

Palutena's Classic Mode route involves fighting characters associated with deities in some way. Its route title comes from a phrase Palutena says in her debut character trailer for the previous game (quoted above).

Super Mario Maker

Palutena appears inSuper Mario Maker as a costume available forCostume Mario. Her sprite is based upon her appearance inKid Icarus: Uprising, rather than the one seen in the originalKid Icarus. All of her sound effects, including the transformation, jumping, and fanfare, are taken from theDisk System version of the originalKid Icarus. Pressing causes her to stand facing the player.

Icaruspedia

SmashWiki

• As with Pit, Palutena's current design is taken fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl and was revamped inKid Icarus: Uprising for theNintendo 3DS developed bySora Ltd., who also developedSuper Smash Bros. Brawl.
• Palutena's newcomer artwork is the only one not to feature anySuper Mario characters; it only features herself,Pit,Dark Pit, andLink. Consequently, her artwork is the one that features the second-fewest number of characters.
• Palutena is the only character in the Subspace Emissary who is neither playable nor an enemy/boss.
• Palutena makes a cameo in Cloud Strife's All-Star ending, where she is walking towards a blaze while Cloud glares at her. This was a reference to the Nibelheim Incident fromFinal Fantasy VII where the main antagonist Sephiroth proceeded to raze Nibelheim, Cloud's hometown, to the ground. Owing to the reference, Palutena's hair was colored gray in this instance rather than her trademark green.
• According to Masahiro Sakurai, Palutena, along withBayonetta, was considered to be the starter character for the World of Light; they were ultimately dropped forKirby, however, due to him being more beginner-friendly, and the fact that their presence would be implausible due to other similar entities from their home series not surviving Galeem's attack.^[10]

Artwork of Robin's male (left) and female (right) variants fromSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

SmashWiki article:Robin (SSB4)

Robin appears as a newcomer inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. with both male and female variations, using their preset default appearances and voices fromFire Emblem Awakening. Unlike otherFire Emblem characters inSuper Smash Bros., Robin not only uses a sword, but alsotomes to cast magic attacks. Most of Robin's moves also operate similarly toFire Emblem'sdurability mechanic: if certain attacks are used enough times, they can no longer be used until a cooldown period passes. Robin's smash attacks and air attacks all use aLevin Sword (using itsFire Emblem Awakening appearance), which can only be used eight times before it is replaced by a weakerBronze Sword; the Bronze Sword is also used for all of Robin's other non-special attacks. Robin is also one of the slower characters on the ground, having the slowest running speed of any character.

Robin's special moves all use various tomes. Their standard special move isThunder, which fires a bolt of lightning that can be charged. Their side special isArcfire, which creates a pillar of fire in front of Robin. Their up special isElwind, in which Robin sends out a gust of wind to boost up into the air while damaging enemies. Finally, their down special isNosferatu, which damages enemies while healing Robin. Robin'sFinal Smash isPair Up, which summonsChrom to their side to repeatedly attack opponents.

Forequipment, Robin can use the Boots equipment for speed, Coat equipment for defense, and is the only fighter that can use the Tome equipment, which increases attack power.

Robin has average weight, being heavier thanNess,Lucas,Sonic, andGreninja, lighter thanWii Fit Trainer,Pit andDark Pit, while weighing the same asRoy andPac-Man.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Robin's female variant inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.

SmashWiki article:Robin (SSBU)

Robin reappears inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, this time as an unlockable playable character. In this installment, a meter indicating how much longer Robin can use their tomes and Levin Sword is displayed above their character profile at the bottom of the screen. Robin's Final Smash remains unchanged, despite Chrom appearing in the game as a playable character. Additionally, Robin's victory theme is now a short arrangement of "Id (Purpose)", a song fromFire Emblem Awakening. Robin benefits from universal changes: their mobility is faster, their short hop timing is reduced, their aerial attacks' landing lag is decreased, they can directionally air dodge, and they can use any ground attack out of a run and any aerial attack on ladders. Robin receives direct improvements to their KO ability, with many of their attacks dealing more knockback. Many of their attacks also have less startup and ending lag.

Classic Mode route

Super Mario Maker

Robin appears as aMystery Mushroomcostume inSuper Mario Maker, using the same sound effects fromFire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light as the otherFire Emblem characters. He can be unlocked by scanning his amiibo or randomly by clearing the 100 Mario Challenge on Expert setting or higher.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

Shulk's artwork inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

SmashWiki article:Shulk (SSB4)

Shulk appears as a new playable character inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. He was officially confirmed on August 29, 2014, during a Japanese Nintendo 3DS Direct that also revealed the New Nintendo 3DS port of his original game,Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. His English voice actor in this game isAdam Howden and his Japanese voice actor isShintarō Asanuma, both reprising their roles fromXenoblade Chronicles.

Shulk's moveset revolves around the Monado, which splits open to reveal a beam of light that gives his attacks added range, while the blade deals greater damage. Although his overall stats are mostly average, Shulk can use his standard special, theMonado Arts, to alter his abilities, giving him specific advantages and disadvantages. His other special moves includeBack Slash, a leaping slash that deals extra damage if it hits an enemy from behind;Air Slash, which lets Shulk rise into the air as he slashes upward; andVision, a counter that negates all damage and deals increased damage in return. HisFinal Smash isChain Attack, where he calls on his friendsRiki and Dunban to help attack opponents that he has trapped.

Six of Shulk's seven alternate costumes are based upon the other six party members ofXenoblade Chronicles, while his seventh is Shulk's appearance when not equipped with any armor.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Shulk (SSBU)

Shulk returns as an unlockable veteran fighter inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Shulk's hair now changes color depending on the costume he chooses, to better reflect their representations of variousXenoblade Chronicles characters. Shulk receives mobility improvements, like all other characters, though his moveset receives some minor adjustments, such as Mecha-Fiora appearing in Chain Attack. His Monado Arts also enhance his abilities to a greater extent.

In the World of Light, Shulk is present when the fighters opposeGaleem for the first time. With Vision, he predicted that the fighters would be vaporized by Galeem's attack.

Classic Mode route

Super Mario Maker

Shulk is one of theMystery Mushroomcostumes that can be unlocked inSuper Mario Maker, either by using the Shulkamiibo or as a random unlock by completing the 100 Mario Challenge on Expert Mode. Pressing causes Shulk to pose with the Monado, and the "course clear" fanfare is replaced with the fanfare that plays when finding a secret area inXenoblade Chronicles. Shulk is unique in that his voice clips are all from the Japanese version ofXenoblade Chronicles regardless of language.

WarioWare series

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

InWarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, amicrogame calledDuck Hunt appears, and has overall the same gameplay as the original NES game, with the player using theGame Boy Advance to shoot ducks.

WarioWare: Twisted!

ADuck Hunt microgame similar to the one fromWarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! appears inWarioWare: Twisted!, this time using the Game Boy Advance cartridge's tilt sensor to aim.

WarioWare: Touched!

While the dog does not appear inWarioWare: Touched! at all, theDuck Hunt microgame usesclay pigeons fromDuck Hunt's Game C. The original sprites of the ducks are also occasionally released from the ball in the microgameClawing for More after clearing it.

WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase

WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase has a newDuck Hunt microgame. It utilizes theWii Remote's motion controls and therefore more closely matches the game it is based on.

WarioWare Gold

WarioWare Gold includes the Duck Hunt microgame fromWarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, but the game uses the Touch Screen instead of motion controls. While Clawing for More returns, the microgame has a new visual theme and does not include duck sprites.

Tetris DS

Gameplay ofDuck Hunt can be seen on theNintendo DS' top screen in stage 19 of Standard Marathon mode inTetris DS, where the dog and duck make a cameo. The dog also appears as a sprite on the touch screen during this stage.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

SmashWiki article:Duck Hunt (SSB4)

Duck Hunt inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

Duck Hunt appear as unlockable newcomers inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. Although they fight as a duo,^[12] Duck Hunt do not truly adhere to the tag team archetype first used by theIce Climbers and perpetuated byRosalina &Luma. This is due to the duck's own hurtbox being directly next to the dog's hurtbox at almost all times. Duck Hunt's moveset largely consists of moves based around the NES Zapper and games that use it, particularlyHogan's Alley andWild Gunman, while incorporating physical attacks from both the dog and duck.

Duck Hunt's standard special move isTrick Shot, in which the dog kicks a tin can fromHogan's Alley forward that can be subsequently fired at with the Zapper. Their side special move isClay Shooting, in which the dog throws out a clay pigeon fromDuck Hunt's Game C that will then explode upon being fired at by the Zapper. Their up special isDuck Jump, in which the duck flies upward while carrying the dog. Their down special isWild Gunman, which spawns one of the five titular gunmen to attack. Lastly, theirFinal Smash isNES Zapper Posse, which consists of a flock of ducks fromDuck Hunt ramming the opponent into a field before the gunmen fromWild Gunmen fire at them and the cutouts fromHogan's Alley.

In regard to character customization, Duck Hunt are the only fighters who can use the Collar and Feather equipment to boost their defense and speed, respectively. The duo can also use the Zapper equipment to boost their attack strength, which is another reference to their home game. ADuck Hunt-themed stage simply calledDuck Hunt also appears in both games. In the stage, the sprite versions of the dog and the ducks appear, even if Duck Hunt themselves are fighting on the stage. In addition, Duck Hunt are the only playable characters inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U to break thefourth wall in their trailer.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Duck Hunt (SSBU)

Duck Hunt return as unlockable veterans inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. In the transition toUltimate, they received noticeable improvements to their moveset and the dog can run faster, although they are now noticeably lighter. The dog is also much more vocal, as he barks and yelps in a number of instances instead of solely during their star KO animation. Along with several other characters, Duck Hunt retain their victory theme from the previous game, albeit sped up.

Duck Hunt reappear inBanjo &Kazooie's announcement trailer "Best Friends", with a similar role toKing Dedede in theKing K. Rool announcement trailer, "The Rivals".

Classic Mode route

Super Mario Maker

InSuper Mario Maker, Duck Hunt make an appearance as aMystery Mushroomcostume, which plays sound effects fromDuck Hunt for certain actions. Upon transforming into Duck Hunt, the perfect score tune plays, and whenever they jump, the dog barks. If they fall into apit orlava, the dog's laughter can be heard. The costume can be unlocked by scanning the Duck Hunt amiibo, or unlocked randomly after completing the 100 Mario Challenge on the Normal setting or higher.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

Ryu's artwork inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

SmashWiki article:Ryu (SSB4)

Similar toMario and like in theStreet Fighter series, Ryu is an "all-around" character and excels in hand-to-hand combat. However, this is only in terms of basic attributes; unlike Mario and unlike in his home series, Ryu is designed to be a very difficult but rewarding character who relies on combos and dexterity, to highlight the differences betweenSuper Smash Bros. and traditional fighting games. All of Ryu's attacks also originate from theStreet Fighter series. Like in the originalStreet Fighter, the power of Ryu's attacks is dependent on how long the player holds down the attack buttons. His standard special is theHadoken, his side special is theTatsumaki Senpukyaku, his up special is theShoryuken, and his down special isFocus Attack. By inputting the originalStreet Fighter button inputs for his special moves, they are stronger when executed. Ryu also has twoFinal Smash attacks, the only character in the game with this distinction. If used normally, the Final Smash is aShinku Hadoken, which sends a larger Hadouken across the screen that can pull in fighters; if used next to an opponent, the Final Smash is aShin Shoryuken, which is a more powerful Shoryuken.

A number of Ryu's aesthetics also reference his series of origin. All of Ryu's attacks, when landed, play the corresponding sounds fromStreet Fighter II. Hitting him while shielding also plays a unique sound, and perfect shielding plays the "parry" sound fromStreet Fighter III: 3rd Strike. Finally, all of Ryu's alternate costumes are those from his appearance inStreet Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

While these are Ryu's only crossover appearances alongside anySuper Mario characters apart fromBowser (as cameos in the filmWreck-It Ralph), he has appeared alongside other characters with playable, assist or boss roles in theSuper Smash Bros. series (Sonic the Hedgehog,Mega Man and his variants,Pac-Man,Lucina,Chrom,Metal Face) in a number of other crossovers, such as theMarvel vs. Capcom andProject X Zone series.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Ryu (SSBU)

Ryu reappears inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate as part of the base game alongside the other DLC characters from the previous installment, this time as an unlockable character. His appearance has been updated to reflect his design inStreet Fighter V. In one-on-one matches, Ryu always faces his opponents, similar to his original games. In addition, Ryu's friend and rival,Ken Masters, appears as an Echo Fighter of Ryu.

Several of Ryu's attacks have nicknames: held forward tilt is Collarbone Breaker; tapped and held down tilts are Light Ankle Kick and Heavy Angle Kick, respectively; forward smash is Joudan Sokutogeri; forward aerial is Tobigeri; up aerial is Sukui Tsuki; down aerial is Straight Punch; back throw is Somersault Throw; and up throw is Heel Drop.

Ryu received multiple improvements, including reduced short-hop timing, less landing lag in his aerial attacks, and the ability to use any ground attack out of a run and any of his aerial attacks while climbing ladders. Additionally, some of Ryu's moves, such as his neutral attack, change depending on his distance from opponent(s). However, many of his moves have smaller hitboxes, Focus Attack's armor is weaker, and his neutral aerial is much harder to chain into due to its higher ending lag.

Classic Mode route

Unlike other Classic Mode routes, all of Ryu's rounds are Stamina battles to emulate the gameplay of theStreet Fighter series, with both fighters starting with 150 HP and the opponents being based onStreet Fighter characters. Additionally, the Bonus Game takes place partway through the route after Round 4 as opposed to Round 6, a reference to the single player modes in theStreet Fighter series.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

Cloud's artwork inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U, Cloud is able to move quickly on the ground, though in the air he moves more slowly and falls quickly. He wields the Buster Sword, a giant sword given to him by his deceased friend Zack Fair that gives his attacks power and range, though they generally start more slowly. He also has a Limit Break mechanic, similar toLittle Mac's Power Meter. When Cloud attacks or is attacked, his Limit Gauge fills up, and when it is full Cloud is covered by a blue aura that boosts his stats, and for one use only powers up one of his special moves when one of them is used. Cloud can also charge his Limit Gauge manually with hisLimit Charge down special. InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Limit Gauge is displayed at all times above his character profile during a match, similar toLittle Mac's Power Meter.^[18]

Most of Cloud's special moves are taken from the Limit Breaks he can obtain inFinal Fantasy VII. His standard special isBlade Beam, in which Cloud swings his sword to fire a beam forward. His side special isCross Slash, in which Cloud swings his sword in the shape of a Japanese character to damage opponents. His up special isClimhazzard, in which Cloud swings his sword to propel himself directly up into the air. When the Limit Gauge is filled, Cloud's down special becomesFinishing Touch, a whirlwind that deals very minimal damage but very high knockback. HisFinal Smash isOmnislash, in which Cloud hits opponents into the air and rapidly and repeatedly slashes them.^[15]

Cloud is one of the lightest heavyweight characters, being heavier thanLucario,Mario,Dr. Mario andCorrin, lighter thanMega Man,Shulk andRyu, while having the same weight as the default weight for theMii Fighters.

When customizing Cloud, he can be equipped with Sword, Suit, and Boots equipment. However, like with the other DLC characters, he lacks any custom special variations of his special moves.

Cloud's alternate colors are based upon the uniforms for the different classes of SOLDIER. He also has alternate costumes using hisFinal Fantasy VII: Advent Children design, which includes the Fusion Swords in place of the Buster Sword. Two of hisAdvent Children costumes have a sleeve used to hide his Geostigma-infected arm, while the others leave his arm bare, revealing it without any signs of Geostigma and with the ribbon he wears in memory of Aerith Gainsborough. In terms oftrophies, Cloud is the sole representative of his series.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Cloud (SSBU)

Cloud reappears inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate as part of the core game alongside the other DLC characters, this time as an unlockable character. Cloud is generally faster, while his aerial attacks have less landing lag; despite this, Cloud's damage output is decreased, while a few of his attacks have greater startup or ending lag; additionally, special moves have decreased in power. Cloud is the only fighter in the game to speak in full Japanese in all of the game's language settings. Until Fighters Pass Vol. 2, outside of the summons in Midgar, Cloud was the sole representative of theFinal Fantasy universe, having noAssist Trophies and being the onlyspirit from his series. He is also the fighter representing the least amount of spirit battles (the spirits beingMaster Edges andZeke in the base game andKyle in the Spirit Board events), not counting DLC characters and alternate costumes.

Classic Mode route

Cloud's Classic Mode route involves fighting characters associated with a vehicle. This references the fact that Cloud suffers from motion sickness.

As of the said update, he has his name written properly in kanji.^[19]

Kingdom Hearts Wiki

SmashWiki

• Cloud was the first third-party character in theSuper Smash Bros. series whose debut title was never released on aNintendo console (thoughFinal Fantasy VII has since released on the Nintendo Switch). Early concepts forFinal Fantasy VII, however, were created with the intention of developing aSNES title before production was delayed in favor of other projects and later restarted forSony'sPlayStation console.^[20]
  • The next one who shares this trait with Cloud isJoker fromSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
• Cloud is one of two characters whose weapon changes depending on the costume. He wields the Buster Sword in his defaultFinal Fantasy VII outfit and the Fusion Swords in hisAdvent Children variations. The other character isBayonetta.
• Cloud is the first specifically namedFinal Fantasy character to appear in crossovers with theSuper Mario cast and other Nintendo characters, as previousFinal Fantasy crossover characters have been generic creatures (such asMoogle) and job classes (such asBlack Mage). He has since been joined in this distinction by his nemesisSephiroth.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

Corrin's artwork inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

SmashWiki article:Corrin (SSB4)

Corrin is a newcomer toSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, and likeVillager,Wii Fit Trainer, andRobin in the game, the player can choose to play as male or female Corrin. Corrin was released internationally as downloadable content on February 3, 2016, 16 days before Corrin's debut games were released in America and three months before their release in Europe and Australia. Unlike other DLC newcomers, there is no exclusive new stage to download alongside Corrin; however, two new songs, the original and an arranged version of the main theme ofFire Emblem Fates, "Lost in Thoughts All Alone," are added to theColiseum andCastle Siege stages instead, and two other trophies of their foster older brotherXander and their older step-brotherRyoma fromFire Emblem Fates are added only in the Nintendo 3DS version. Much like Robin, Corrin's design can be customized in the debut games, though the default design is used in theSuper Smash Bros. series.

Corrin's primary weapon is the Omega Yato, the final form theYato blade takes inFire Emblem Fates: Revelation. However, as inFire Emblem Fates, Corrin can partially transform some parts into a dragon for various attacks, giving those attacks range. Corrin's standard special move isDragon Fang Shot, which transform Corrin's arm into a set of fangs that fire a chargeable water ball that stuns foes for a brief time.Dragon Lunge is Corrin's side special, in which Corrin jumps and thrusts a transformed arm into a spear-like weapon downward. Corrin's up special,Dragon Ascent, uses a pair of wings to help recover. Corrin's down special isCounter Surge, which is a counter move that fully transforms Corrin to counterattack. Corrin'sFinal Smash isTorrential Roar, which turns Corrin into a dragon to catch opponents, followed by a stream of water that blows any character caught in the Final Smash away.

Corrin is one of the heaviest middleweights, being heavier thanLuigi,Villager, and a lightest possibleMii Fighter; lighter thanLucario,Cloud,Mega Man andShulk; while having the same weight asMario andDr. Mario.

In terms ofequipment options, Corrin can use the Sword, Cape, and Shoes equipment. Corrin is the onlyFire Emblem character that cannot use Boots for equipment. Corrin is also the only fighter in these games whose alternate trophy replicates game artwork in both titles.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Corrin (SSBU)

Corrin reappears as an unlockable playable fighter inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Corrin's moveset is largely unchanged, but the third hit of their standard attack is now an outward slash, their pummel is a knee kick, and their back aerial has a greater push effect. Corrin benefits from universal changes: their mobility is faster, their short hop timing is reduced, their aerial attacks' landing lag is reduced, they can directionally air dodge, and they can use any ground attack out of a run and any aerial attack on ladders. Corrin's special moves all have more startup, ending, and landing lag, while they either have less range or grant less height than before. Corrin's forward smash is also slower and shorter in range, in spite of its charging hits dealing more damage. Some of Corrin's attacks deal less damage as well. Additionally, Corrin's victory theme is now a short arrangement of "Lost in Thoughts All Alone", rather than the genericFire Emblem victory fanfare.

Classic Mode route

Corrin's Classic Mode route involves fighting characters in white and black colored alternate costumes (except if they are colored as such by default), as well as Corrin themselves. This represents the conflict between Nohr and Hoshido inFire Emblem Fates.

WarioWare: Move It!

Female Corrin appears inWarioWare: Move It! as part of theFire Emblem Engagemicrogame. She is one of four Emblem characters that can appear when the player wins the game.

Bayonetta's default appearance inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

SmashWiki article:Bayonetta (SSB4)

Bayonetta appears as a downloadable character inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, chosen based on the results of theSuper Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot, as the top most requested character in Europe, among the top five characters in the United States, and the most requested in the world out of all recognizable character suggestions.^[21] This makes her the second character in theSuper Smash Bros. series to come from an M-rated series (the first beingSolid Snake from theMetal Gear series), and the only female third-party fighter in theSuper Smash Bros. series. Also, excluding the female variant ofCorrin, Bayonetta is the only female DLC fighter inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U. She comes bundled with her own stage,Umbra Clock Tower, and is voiced by her respective voice actresses fromBayonetta:Hellena Taylor in English, andAtsuko Tanaka in Japanese.

Bayonetta's play style is largely focused on combos as in her game of origin, though her moves are generally slow to start. Much like her games of origin, she uses four pistols, two in her hands and two attached to her heels, known collectively as Love is Blue. By holding down the attack button after performing a move, Bayonetta can use her Bullet Arts, in which she briefly fires each of her guns to deal more damage. The bullets do not cause flinching except at close range, can pass through characters, and cannot be reflected (such as withReflector) or blocked withLink's shield. For her smash attacks, Bayonetta uses her Wicked Weaves, using her hair to summon the limbs of Madama Butterfly to attack. Finally, if the player dodges an attack too late (either rolling, dodging, or air dodging), she instead activates Bat Within, in which she briefly transforms into a swarm of bats to dodge, halving the amount of damage taken.

Her standard special move isBullet Climax, in which she rapidly shoots opponents with her guns. She can charge this attack and cancel it by rolling. Her side special, when used on the ground, isHeel Slide, which slides across the ground and, if the player holds the button, can end with a kick into the air. When used in the air, it is After Burner Kick, in which Bayonetta kicks through the air. By default, Bayonetta makes a diagonally upward thrust, but if the player presses down shortly before the move is performed, similar toRyu'sHadoken input, the thrust goes downward. She can reuse after a double jump. Her up special move isWitch Twist, in which Bayonetta spins up into the air to attack, and it can be used again after a double jump. Her down special isWitch Time, a counter-like move which slows down time around opponents caught by her, drawn from her signature ability in theBayonetta games; this also activates Bat Within if an opponent attacks her too late after activating. Her Final Smash isInfernal Climax, which starts with Witch Time surrounding the whole stage, and after a meter is filled ends with her summoning Gomorrah to chomp on opponents. Her Final Smash has similar properties to the Danger Zones on some stages; if opponents have accumulated too much damage, they are instantly KO'd.

Bayonetta's taunts involve her dancing, and are the longest of any character in the series. Because of this, they can be canceled at any point.

While Bayonetta's normal appearance is largely based on her design inBayonetta 2, her design from the originalBayonetta is available as an alternate costume, which also changes some of her visual effects to match her "red" design in that game. In addition, in the Japanese release, Hellena Taylor's voice clips are used when using this costume, as the original release ofBayonetta did not have Japanese voice acting. She also has an alternate coloration based on her rival turned ally Jeanne, which also changes the color of her hair when using smash attacks and her Final Smash to white. Thus, Bayonetta is one of two characters in the series to change weapons depending on the costume (using her original guns, Scarborough Fair, rather than Love is Blue for her original design), and is the only character inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U whose visual effects are different depending on the costume.

Bayonetta is one of heavier lightweights, being heavier thanSheik,Falco andLittle Mac, and lighter thanMarth,Lucina,Peach andZelda.

Bayonetta can be equipped with the Suit and Boots equipment. Oddly, Bayonetta can also use the Zapper equipment, which is designed for characters who originated from NES titles, though in her case, it is most likely to reference her reliance on guns.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Bayonetta (SSBU)

Bayonetta reappears inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, this time as an unlockable character. Bayonetta runs faster and her Bullet Arts can be angled during certain moves. However, her special moves have generally become weaker and slower, and she is now lighter thanFalco andRosalina. The sounds of her gunshots change slightly depending on the origin of her costume.

In the World of Light, Bayonetta is seen when the fighters opposeGaleem for the first time. She attempts to dodge Galeem's beams of light, but is unsuccessful and is turned into a puppet fighter who initially serves Galeem, but is later brought underDharkon's control. She is fought in Dharkon's side of the Final Battle area alongsideDark Samus andCrazy Hand, and must be awoken to progress the story.

SmashWiki

• Before her appearance inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U, Bayonetta already hadSuper Mario references inBayonetta 2 and the Wii U port ofBayonetta:
  • She could don outfits based uponPeach's andDaisy's signature dresses, withMario andLuigi dolls attached respectively, which give her the ability to summonBowser for Wicked Weave attacks (although only his limbs were shown; Bowser's voice can also be heard) and cause defeated enemies to dropcoins rather than halos.
  • InBayonetta 2, she could wield a Chain Chomp as a weapon and don Mario's hat (albeit with a "B" instead of Mario's "M") when using an Umbran Elegance with the Chain Chomp, even saying, "Mama-mia!" when taunting. Her friend Jeanne could also wield the Chain Chomp, but instead gains Luigi's hat (with a "J" instead of an "L").
• For her forward throw, Bayonetta uses the Tetsuzanko (Akira Yuki's signature move). While performing it, there is a chance she will say his catch phrase "Jū'nen hayai'n da yo!" (「十年早いんだよォ！」; "You are ten years too early!"), even in the English version.
• According to Masahiro Sakurai, Bayonetta, along withPalutena, was considered to be the starter character for the World of Light; they were ultimately dropped forKirby, however, due to him being more beginner-friendly, and the fact that their presence would be implausible due to other similar entities from their home series not surviving Galeem's attack.^[10]
