Super Smash Bros.

SmashWiki article:Pikachu (SSB)

Pikachu appears as a default character inSuper Smash Bros. It is one of the game's faster characters in both running and walking speed, but is also among the lightest, meaning that while it can move quickly it can also be KO'd earlier than other characters. Its standard special move is Thunder Jolt, which sends out a ball of electricity that travels along the ground and causes opponents to flinch. Its up special move is Quick Attack, which allows it to move with up to two sudden bursts of speed. Its down special move is Thunder, which sends down a bolt of lightning from the top of the stage to strike opponents.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

SmashWiki article:Pikachu (SSBM)

Pikachu returns inSuper Smash Bros. Melee, yet again as a default player. Pikachu's moveset is mostly unchanged from the previous game, though it now has a side special move, Skull Bash, which allows Pikachu to launch itself across the screen and headbutt opponents. In addition, its down special Thunder now appears from a cloud instead of the top of the screen. Pikachu's down smash is now a multi-hitting, electrical spin; additionally, its back throw from the previous game has been moved to its forward throw, though it is much weaker than before.

Pikachu'spre-evolutionPichu also appears as a playable character in this game, with a moveset similar to Pikachu's. In addition, one of Pikachu's alternate costumes in this game is the hat ofRed as he appears in the originalPokémon Red andBlue Versions.

SmashWiki article:Pikachu (SSBB)

Pikachu was one of the first characters revealed forSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. Its moveset remains entirely unchanged, and itsFinal Smash is Volt Tackle, which causes Pikachu to become a ball of electricity that players can maneuver across the entire screen, damaging any opponents it runs in to.

While Pikachu keeps most of its alternate costumes for this game, its blue alternate costume, the party hat, has been replaced with a pair of goggles, similar to the ones worn by Pichu as one of its alternate costumes. Pikachu is the only character in the game to have only four palette swaps.

The Subspace Emissary

Pikachu's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary

Pikachu begins the game trapped within a strange device that harnesses its electrical energy to provide power to the complex.Samus, infiltrating the complex in search of her Power Suit, sees that the device causes Pikachu pain, and breaks it. In thanks, Pikachu helps Samus continue through the lab. Eventually, the pair come across Samus's Power Suit within a tank. After dispatching two clones of Samus, Pikachu helps Samus (in her newly regained Power Suit) through the rest of the facility and helps her defeatRidley.

After escaping from the complex, Pikachu and Samus infiltratethe Subspace Bomb Factory and encounter theAncient Minister. DespiteDonkey Kong,Diddy Kong,Captain Falcon, andCaptain Olimar coming in soon after, the Ancient Minister does not fight back, and tries to stop the other R.O.B.s from obeyingGanondorf. Ganondorf gets the R.O.B.s to set up multiple Subspace Bombs, and the Ancient Minister, with the R.O.B.s no longer under his control, reveals himself to be the headR.O.B. of the island and helps Pikachu and the others defeat theSubspace Army and escape the island in the Falcon Flyer before it is consumed bySubspace.

Pikachu and the rest of its team join the remaining heroes in their last stand against Subspace, only to be defeated byTabuu. Fortunately,King Dedede had planned this in advance and created badges that revived fighters from being trophies. Using these, he is able to form a team consisting of himself,Luigi, andNess. Dedede and his group then revived most of the others, including Pikachu, before everyone has rejoined and proceeded to face Tabuu in a final battle.

Pikachu returns as a playable fighter inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Its Final Smash has it travel across the screen at a much faster speed than before, though the move needs to connect with another fighter in order to continue, and missing can lead to a self-destruct.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros.

SmashWiki article:Ness (SSB)

Ness's firstSuper Mario franchise-related appearance is inSuper Smash Bros., where he must be unlocked to become playable and is the sole rep of his series. To unlock him, the player has to beat 1-P Mode on Normal or higher difficulty with three or less lives, without continuing, as any character. The player then must defeat Ness inDream Land (an indirect allusion to Magicant from his home game) in order to unlock him. Due to being an unlockable character, Ness himself does not appear in the game's 1P mode.

Ness uses either his PK moves for his attacks or more physical-based ones. All of Ness's regular attacks involve physical moves, such as a punch kick combo with his jab or his headbutt as his upper aerial move. In addition, Ness uses ayo-yo for his up and down smash attacks and abaseball bat for his side smash attack, both of which are equipment inEarthBound. Additionally, the baseball bat can reflect projectiles. Ness throws his opponents using his psychic powers. When Ness jumps, he also uses his psychic powers to propel him through the air. Due to Ness's size, he has below-average weight, meaning that he is more easily knocked off the stage, but can escape combos more easily. If players press the taunt button, Ness looks at the screen, bows, and says "Okay!" Ness's stage entrance animation has him flying to the stage withPSI Teleport. Ness shares many animations withMario inSuper Smash Bros., such as his hurt, item swinging, walking, both pratfalled and face-planted prone animations, etc. In fact, hisFighting Polygon variant has a very similar appearance to Mario, with the most distinction between them being his smaller, lower nose and his jumps.

Ness's special moves are based upon some of the various PK (Psychokinesis) moves fromEarthBound. His neutral special is PK Fire, which sends out a bolt of lightning that creates a pillar of fire that traps opponents when it hits. His up special is PK Thunder, which sends out a controllable lightning bolt to attack. Ness has a unique recovery move in this game, in that Ness can strike himself with the PK Thunder to recover, which propels him to the direction depending on how the PK Thunder hit him. His down special is Psychic-Magnet, which can absorb energy-based projectiles to recover damage. None of these moves can actually be learned by Ness inEarthBound; they are instead those of his friend and teammate,Paula (although her trophy inSuper Smash Bros. Melee suggests that she taught him these moves).

Ness's victory theme is based off of the second half of the Eight Melodies fromEarthBound. Ness has an unused voice clip with him shouting PK Starstorm. PK Starstorm would not become Ness's move untilFinal Smashes are introduced inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

SmashWiki article:Ness (SSBM)

Ness returns inSuper Smash Bros. Melee. Here, he is a default character at the beginning of the game.Originally, Ness was to be replaced byLucas, the main protagonist ofMother 3.^[1][2] However,Mother 3 turned out to be delayed until afterSuper Smash Bros. Melee was released. As such, Ness was kept in to avoid confusion.

While Ness retains many key features from the originalSuper Smash Bros.,Super Smash Bros. Melee has seen drastic changes, with Ness having been given many tweaks. Many of his formerly physical moves now have him use his psychic powers, with examples being his dash attack and his forward and back aerial moves. When Ness jumps, he uses psychokinesis only for his second jump. Ness has been given down and up throws as new features toSuper Smash Bros. Melee: his down throw has him throwing opponents to the ground and using PK Fire on them while his up throw involves him twirling his opponent and tossing them up, also with psychokinesis. Ness is given a new neutral special attack,PK Flash, which is one of his originalEarthBound attacks, and it lets him release a ball of energy that can be charged as it rises and lowers to eventually explode. This replaces PK Fire as his standard special move, instead making it his side special move. Additionally, Psychic-Magnet is renamed PSI Magnet, a change that remains in later instalments. Ness still retains most of Mario's animations, such as hisParasol drifting animation, though he has been given a new item swing animation. AsSuper Smash Bros. Melee has no unique stage entrance animations, Ness does not use his unique stage entrance in this game, though it returns in later games.

A team of three Nesses appear in Stage 9 in Adventure Mode. During this match, the only item that appears isMr. Saturn. Ness appears in several of the game's events in Event Match mode, either as the required playable character or as set opponents. In "Spare Change," Ness has to obtain 200 coins while fightingCaptain Falcon, failing if Ness gets KO'd. In "All-Star Match 3," the player has to fight a set amount of characters in different stages, Ness being one of the opponents. In "Space Travelers," Ness, with one life, has to fightSamus,Kirby,Fox, Captain Falcon, andFalco in a row. The first three characters are fought inFourside while the last two are fought onBattlefield.

Onett, Ness's hometown, is featured as a stage inSuper Smash Bros. Melee and returns inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl,Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Ness (SSBB)

Ness returns inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl and is once again one of the unlockable characters. He is unlocked if the player plays five Brawl matches, reflects 10 projectiles, or recruits Ness as a member of the party in The Subspace Emissary. When any of these requirements are met aside from recruiting him in The Subspace Emissary, the player has to battle Ness in Onett, and by winning, Ness becomes a playable character. Ness is the only unlockable character who is fought from a returning stage fromSuper Smash Bros. Melee.

Ness retains much of his moveset and his strengths and weaknesses fromSuper Smash Bros. Melee, with a few gameplay tweaks. Ness is given a variety of new animations to differentiate from Mario, and he now has an extra idle pose. In addition, Ness has been given a new pummel when attacking grabbed fighters, pummeling at a faster rate than when he once had Mario's pummel animations. Ness has two more taunts as a result ofSuper Smash Bros. Brawl giving more taunts to all characters: Ness's side taunt has him swinging a bat while his down taunt has him creating a PSI sparkle effect.Lucas who is introduced inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, borrows many moves from Ness with some changes: for example, Lucas's PK Thunder is weaker, but can travel through opponents and can be controlled more tightly. He is given aFinal Smash which is shared with Lucas:PK Starstorm, which sends meteors raining down on the stage to damage opponents. InEarthBound, this move is learned only byPoo, though as with Paula's trophy in the previous game, Ness's Final Smash trophy suggests that he learned this move from Poo.

Ness has a new victory theme, which he shares with Lucas. It is an arrangement of an excerpt of the title theme inEarthBound Beginnings.

In All-Star mode, Ness and Lucas appear in the 10th match, on theNew Pork City stage, where character order is determined by chronological release of their series. Ness appears in four solo events and three co-op events in Event Mode. He appears as an opponent or with several opponents in "Visit to Onett," "The Aura Is With Me," and "All-Star Semifinal Regulars." In "The Slow and Easy Life," the player controls Ness and has to defeat three tinyCaptain Olimars before the song ends. Ness is the playable character in "Those Who Wait in Onett" and an opponent in "Jigglypuff's Great Comeback." In both co-op events, Ness is paired with Lucas.

The Subspace Emissary

Ness' snapshot in The Subspace Emissary

InThe Subspace Emissary, when Lucas is attacked by thePorky Statue atThe Ruined Zoo, Ness arrives and uses PK Flash on it to save Lucas. The statue explodes, revealingPorky in his spider mech. Lucas and Ness then both fight Porky and defeat him. However, after his defeat,Wario, with his Dark Cannon, comes and attempts to shoot Ness several times. Ness avoids all the shots so Wario decides to aim for Lucas. Wario shoots an arrow out of the gun and it flies straight at Lucas - Ness however jumps in front of the arrow and shoves Lucas out of the way in order to save him, and ends up becoming atrophy. Wario grabs the trophy and starts laughing while Lucas runs away terrified.

Wario later travels in hisCargo with the princess trophy (the one that wasn't rescued atMidair Stadium) and the Ness trophy. After finding theLuigi trophy, he decides to take it. However,King Dedede steals the Cargo and drives off with all three trophies, as Dedede had been using Luigi to distract Wario. Later, at King Dedede's Castle, Dedede puts a timedbadge on the Ness trophy, along with the other two trophies. Dedede ends up becoming a trophy not long after, and the princess was captured by theSubspace Army again. Later, the Ness, King Dedede and Luigi trophies end up inSubspace.

Near the end of the game,Tabuu turns all characters into trophies. Meanwhile, Luigi and Ness are both turned back to life. This is because the badges that King Dedede put on them had the power to turn revert trophies to their living counterparts, but this didn't happen until a long time later. Ness and Luigi revive King Dedede (who is overjoyed that his plan worked out), and they go out together into Subspace itself where they turnMario,Donkey Kong,Samus,Fox,Pikachu,Captain Falcon,Marth,Mr. Game & Watch,Falco,Pit,Olimar, Lucas,Diddy Kong, thePokémon Trainer, andIke back into their living counterparts. Ness and Luigi also witness King Dedede's battle withBowser and convince Wario about the truth of the situation. All trophies (includingKirby and the ones he rescued) then endurethe Great Maze and fight Tabuu.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

SmashWiki article:Ness (SSB4)

Ness reappears as a playable fighter inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. In theNintendo 3DS version, Ness is unlockable; he is unlocked after either Classic Mode is completed twice or 10 matches are played, then by defeating him in a 1-stock match on theMagicant stage. In theWii U version, Ness is a default character. Ness's design is changed: his cheeks lose their blush, his eyes lose their bluish hue, and he appears taller and sleeker overall. In addition, he has new voice clips.

Ness's base moveset and utilities are still unchanged, albeit with a few tweaks for rebalancing him that occur from game to game. Ness's down aerial now has a psychokinesis effect as opposed to it being physical in the previous games. Ness gains the ability to use PK Thunder again immediately after hitting the wall, for a potential second attempt at using the move. Additionally, at the very start of the move, Ness's PK Thunder moves through opponents, decreasing the opportunity for opponents to gimp him. Ness receives new custom special moves though half of his alternate special moves originate fromLucas's variants of his special moves, such asPK Freeze and Lasting PK Thunder. In addition, PK Starstorm has been changed to be more concentrated rather than meteors falling across the stage, allowing players to control the column of meteors to a desired direction. For customEquipment use, Ness uses bats, hats, and shoes.

In All-Star mode, Ness is fought in Level 5 and Level 3 in the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game respectively, the latter due to the order of characters being chronologically reversed. In Event Mode, Ness appears in three solo events and in two co-op event. In "All-Star Battle: Secret," as the event focuses on unlockable characters in previous games, Ness is one of the opponents fought. In "It's Past Your Bedtime!",Jigglypuff needs to make a variety of children characters fall asleep with Sing, one of them being Ness. In "Playing Tricks," Ness needs to bury twoVillagers with aPitfall. In co-op events, Ness appears as an opponent in "The Ultimate Battle," where players must defeat the entire roster. Ness, paired with Villager, is the character featured in "Visiting Onett," where they must defeatKirby,Meta Knight,Fox,Falco,Olimar, andRosalina & Luma.

Ness appears as an unlockable playable fighter inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. While his moveset is mostly unchanged from the previousSuper Smash Bros. titles, he has received various new tweaks to his moves. Ness now emits PSI when pummeling opponents and while using his neutral aerial. His up aerial, rather than headbutting, has him waving his hands in the air. In addition, for his PK Fire and PSI Magnet moves, graphics are taken fromEarthBound. He and Lucas have a new victory theme, which is an arrangement of the last two of the Eight Melodies fromEarthBound Beginnings.

Several of Ness's attacks receive names: his forward smash is called Batter Up!, his up smash is called Around the World, his down smash is called Walk the Dog, his forward throw is called PK Throw, and his back throw is called Reverse PK Throw.

Super Smash Bros. series

Captain Falcon has appeared as a playable character in every game in theSuper Smash Bros. series released thus far. He is readily available inSuper Smash Bros. Melee,Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, whereas he is unlockable in the originalSuper Smash Bros.,Super Smash Bros. Brawl, andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Super Smash Bros.

SmashWiki article:Captain Falcon (SSB)

Captain Falcon appears as an unlockable character in the originalSuper Smash Bros., and is unlocked by clearing 1-P Mode in under 20 minutes and defeating him onPlanet Zebes. Despite having a slow walking speed, Captain Falcon has the fastest running speed. His attacks, however, despite being powerful, are for the most part slow. His design in this game is based on his design fromF-Zero X, though his outfit is indigo instead of blue.

Captain Falcon's special attacks are unique in that none of them are based upon any aspect of his series of origin. His special moves are the Falcon Punch, which involves Captain Falcon throwing a delayed, yet powerful, fiery punch; Falcon Kick, which has Captain Falcon performing a flame-engulfed flying kick; and Falcon Dive, in which Falcon leaps and causes a small explosion against an opponent he makes contact with.

Captain Falcon is also unique in that he has a total of six playable alternate color schemes beginning with this installment, with two of the recolors being team battle exclusive. One of Captain Falcon's alternate costumes is that of his evil clone,Blood Falcon, including a patch on his uniform saying "25 - Blood Hawk", which corresponds to the number and name of Blood Falcon's own F-Zero machine. Another one of his colors recolors the original, brighter colors used in theF-Zero series. Captain Falcon and Yoshi have the most color changes of the selectable characters in the game, totaling six, although two of Yoshi's colors are not selectable.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

SmashWiki article:Captain Falcon (SSBM)

Captain Falcon appears inSuper Smash Bros. Melee, this time as a default character instead of an unlockable character (a trait shared withNess). Captain Falcon also appears as an opponent inAdventure Mode, All-Star Mode, and Event Matches 12, 17, 20, 33, 36, and 43. He is also one of the random characters in Trophy Tussle 1, 2, and 3. Captain Falcon's fighting techniques are shared withGanondorf, who has similar abilities, but is much slower and has more powerful attacks.

Many of Captain Falcon's moves, such as his smash attacks and neutral aerial, have been completely changed and updated. He also received the side special moveRaptor Boost, in which he charges forward to throw a flame-engulfed punch that differs depending on his position: he throws an uppercut while grounded, or an overhand while airborne.

Captain Falcon has a unique way of using certain items in this game. For example, when using aHome-Run Bat, Captain Falcon slams the opponent down and then up again, instead of hitting them across the screen. According to thetrophy information of theStar Rod, it has the most power when it is used with a Smash Attack of Captain Falcon orSheik.

SmashWiki article:Captain Falcon (SSBU)

Captain Falcon appears as an unlockable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. He is faster on the ground and in the air, while Raptor Boost no longer renders him helpless in the air if he manages to hit an opponent with it. On a related note, Raptor Boost has been repurposed from a potent KO option into a very reliable combo starter. However, both direct and indirect changes to a number of his moves, particularly to his dash grab and down throw, have resulted in his moveset being riskier to use.

In the World of Light, Captain Falcon is present when the fighters opposeGaleem for the first time. When Galeem begins to vaporize the fighters with a barrage of energy beams, Captain Falcon attempts to flee in his Blue Falcon, but is also vaporized before he can board it.

Jigglypuff was designed to be the weakest character in the game.^[3] Jigglypuff is the lightest playable character; while it has up to five midair jumps, tied withKirby for the most, Jigglypuff can also be launched the easiest. In addition, when Jigglypuff's shield breaks, it is launched higher into the air than any other character, potentially KOing it. Jigglypuff also has a high air speed and the lowest falling speed, but also has low walking and dashing speeds. Its attacks are also slow and weak.

Jigglypuff's neutral special is Pound, in which it slaps its opponents. Its up special is Sing, which puts nearby opponents to sleep, and its down special is Rest, which sends any opponents close enough flying but puts Jigglypuff to sleep.

The Japanese version of the game has both "Purin!" and "Jigglypuff!" announcements.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

SmashWiki article:Jigglypuff (SSBM)

Jigglypuff returns inSuper Smash Bros. Melee. According to its page on the Japanese website, Sakurai was torn over whether to have Jigglypuff return or not, but kept it so as to not leave behind fans of the character.^[3] Like in the originalSuper Smash Bros., Jigglypuff can be unlocked by clearing Classic or Adventure with any character, or by playing 50 Melee matches, and then defeating it onPokémon Stadium.

Like other re-introduced characters, Jigglypuff's neutral special move, Pound, was made into its side special move, and its new neutral special move is Rollout, which allows Jigglypuff to charge an attack in which it rolls across the screen. Its air speed has been increased for this game, giving it the highest air speed of any character. All of Jigglypuff's jumps also now give height, though the height given decreases as it continues to jump.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Jigglypuff (SSBB)

InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, Jigglypuff returns as an unlockable character once again. It can be unlocked by clearing at least 20 Event Matches after finishing The Subspace Emissary, playing 350 Brawl matches, or by having it join the party in The Subspace Emissary. Similarly to the previous game, Jigglypuff (along withWolf andToon Link) was nearly cut from the game due to time constraints.^[4] Jigglypuff only has five recolors inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, instead of the usual six; this is shared withPokémon Trainer,Lucario, andSonic.

While Jigglypuff's general moveset is unchanged, it has been given aFinal Smash, Puff Up. Jigglypuff increases in size dramatically, bouncing players off of it at great speed.

The Subspace Emissary

Like Toon Link and Wolf, it makes a rather minor Subspace Emissary appearance, and is the only veteran character who does not appear in the main story of The Subspace Emissary. After finding a red door inThe Swamp stage, the player will be taken toPokémon Stadium 2 and fight Jigglypuff in a one-stock match. Once defeated, it will join the player's party.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Jigglypuff (SSBU)

Jigglypuff appears as an unlockable playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Compared toSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, it moves faster on the ground and in the air, and many of its attacks are more powerful. In addition, Jigglypuff makes an angry expression during its Puff Up move.

World of Light

Jigglypuff is not seen when the fighters opposeGaleem for the first time. However, it is hit by one of Galeem's beams of light and imprisoned in the World of Light like the other non-DLC fighters (except forKirby), and multiple puppet fighters of it are created. The actual Jigglypuff is eventually defeated, awakening it, and it joins Kirby's team in the battle againstGaleem andDharkon.

Jigglypuff'sfighter spirit uses its artwork fromPokémon Global Link.

Classic Mode route

Jigglypuff's Classic Mode route is themed on the originalSuper Smash Bros.
