Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Although he does not appear as a playable character, Meta Knight has a trophy inSuper Smash Bros. Melee, which can be randomly obtained. The trophy's title saysMeta-Knight, referring to the group rather than the individual. The trophy also has a factual error: While his first appearance is listed asKirby Super Star in September of 1996, his actual first appearance was inKirby's Adventure in May of 1993.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Meta Knight (SSBB)

Meta Knight appears as a playable fighter inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. He is a small, quick fighter with fast yet weak attacks. Like in theKirby series, Meta Knight's cape can transform into a pair of wings which not only grant him multiple jumps but also the ability toglide. His ship, theHalberd, also appears as a stage. Meta Knight's voice actor fromKirby: Right Back at Ya! anime series, Atsushi Kisaichi, provides Meta Knight's voice in the Japanese versionSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, whileEric Newsome, who providedBowser's voice inSuper Paper Mario, voices him in other versions.

Meta Knight's special moves are mostly based on attacks that appear in theKirby series, his own or otherwise. His standard special is Mach Tornado, which causes Meta Knight to spin around rapidly to deal damage, with the final hit dealing greater damage and knockback. His side special is Drill Rush, in which Meta Knight charges forward in a spinning motion; if the attack ends in the air, Meta Knight is left in a helpless state, unable to use another move until he lands. His up special is Shuttle Loop, in which he loops around before flying directly up, dealing two hits afterward. His down special is Dimensional Cape, in which Meta Knight teleports and can attack if the player holds the button; when used in the air, Meta Knight enters a helpless state. HisFinal Smash is Galaxia Darkness, in which Meta Knight traps opponents by swiping his cape then performs a large sword swipe, dealing high damage and knockback to all caught opponents as well as opponents outside of the attack.

Meta Knight is the only character in the game who does not share a victory theme with the other characters from his series, instead using a metal arrangement of the traditionalKirby victory theme. However, this trait would later be shared with other characters in future installments, such asBowser.

The Subspace Emissary

Meta Knight's story starts before the events of the actual game, trying to defend theHalberd fromMaster Hand and theSubspace Army, but was unwittingly prevented from doing as such byKing Dedede^[1]. His actual first appearance is when he suddenly attacksMarth, who is investigating the activity going on inthe Battlefield Fortress. Their duel is interrupted when they are surrounded by Primids, and Meta Knight and Marth see they're both against the Subspace Army and team up. Afterwards, they chase after theAncient Minister. Meta Knight is disarmed when the Minister disables his wings and forces him to change them into a cape. Out of nowhere,Ike shows up and disarms the Subspace Bomb the Minister had been carrying.

Meta Knight, Marth, and Ike ultimately lose the Ancient Minister near the edge ofthe Wilds, but they findGalleom in the middle of the desert. After it is defeated, Galleom goes toThe Ruined Hall and comes out holdingLucas and thePokémon Trainer in one hand, with a Subspace Bomb about to go off in its head. Although Lucas manages to free himself and the Trainer, Meta Knight saves them when they almost hit the ground.

Meta Knight and his group find the Halberd fighting the Great Fox abovethe Glacial Peak, and he climbs the mountain while Marth, Ike, Lucas, and Pokémon Trainer stay behind. As he does this, however, theIce Climbers race him and beat him to the top. At the summit, Meta Knight discovers the Aura PokémonLucario, who challenges him to a duel. The duel ends, the loser gets turned into a trophy and the winner taps on the trophy base to recover him.

After the battle, Meta Knight and Lucario agree to team up and enter the Halberd, where they findSnake thanks to the use of Lucario's Aura. Lucario assures Meta Knight and Snake that they are on the same side and they join forces in taking back the Halberd as Primids approach. The three of them rescuePeach andZelda from their evil counterparts before heading to the cockpit to find manyMr. Game & Watches controlling the Halberd. Lucario and Snake take care of them with the princesses,Fox, andFalco while Meta Knight takes the helm, regaining his ship.

Eventually, Meta Knight goes into Subspace with the other heroes, although the Halberd is destroyed by the Subspace Gunship as they do this. They find the real mastermind,Tabuu, who fires his Off Waves at them and turns them into trophies.Kirby, however, is revived by one ofKing Dedede's badges and recovers Meta Knight along with some of the others before they go intothe Great Maze to stop Tabuu.

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

SmashWiki article:Meta Knight (SSB4)

Meta Knight returns as a playable character forSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. He, along with other winged charactersPit andCharizard, can no longer glide, either normally or at the end of Shuttle Loop, though Shuttle Loop now hits twice instead. Aside from this, however, Meta Knight's moveset has not been changed. His design has been slightly altered for this installment, giving him metal gauntlets over his gloves. Meta Knight's mobility is improved, but his overall damage output is toned down, his recovery is worsened, his attacks are slower, and their range is decreased.

One of Kirby's alternative palettes is identical to what Meta Knight looks like without his mask (though the palette has yellow eyes), armor and cape in the earlyKirby games. In addition, two of Meta Knight's new alternate costumes are based onDark Meta Knight andGalacta Knight.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Pit, using his design from the original NES game, makes an appearance as an unlockabletrophy inSuper Smash Bros. Melee.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Pit (SSBB)

Pit appears as a new fighter inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. Pit's design has been significantly altered from his design in the twoKid Icarus games before, based onMasahiro Sakurai's interpretation of what Pit would look like if theKid Icarus series had continued afterKid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters.^[2]

Pit is voiced byLani Minella in English, who also voicesLucas, and would later voiceLarry,Morton,Wendy andLemmy in laterSuper Smash Bros. games and severalSuper Mario games. In Japanese, he is voiced byMinami Takayama.

Pit carries the Sacred Bow of Palutena, which can fire arrows or split into two blades for up close combat. Because of his wings he is able to jump multiple times, and can alsoglide. Pit's standard special move in this game is Palutena's Arrow, which lets him shoot an arrow that can be directed as it flies. His side special move is called Angel Ring, during which he spins his bow to deal multiple hits to enemies and deflect projectiles. Pit's down special move is the Mirror Shield, which allows him to reflect any attacks from the front and cause them to deal more damage; it can also protect against physical attacks, though only when the attacker is facing Pit. Finally, his up special move is the Wings of Icarus, which allows him to fly freely for a limited time. Pit's Final Smash, Palutena's Army, summonsCenturions on the battlefield to attack opponents by ramming into them. Each Centurion disappears after hitting an opponent, and can also be defeated by attacking them.

Pit is the only fighter in the game that does not appear in his own Final Smash trophy.

The Subspace Emissary

In the Subspace Emissary ofSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, Pit joins the story early in the game. He was watching the fight betweenMario andKirby atMidair Stadium when he sees the devastation of theSubspace Army's Subspace Bomb, and is sent byPalutena to go assist the other heroes in defeating the Subspace Army. Palutena gives him the Palutena's Bow. He hurries down to the world, so he can help the other defeat the Subspace Army. He lands on a spot near theHalberd, and has to fightPrimids and other Subspace enemies that are appearing. He also findsMario, transformed into a trophy. He awakens him and the two team up. They soon witnessFox McCloud'sArwing chasing after Halberd.

Upon reaching solid ground, they find theAncient Minister carrying another Subspace Bomb, but they were unable to reach him, and he gets away. What happens next depends on which princess was rescued.

IfZelda was rescued, Pit destroys the Dark Cannon thatFalse Zelda is about to fire atLink andYoshi, and subsequently fights her with Mario. They are then attacked by Link and Yoshi, who have mistaken False Zelda as the real Zelda. Otherwise, ifPeach was rescued instead, then Pit and Mario are instead targeted byFalse Peach, who was defeated by Link and Yoshi. Pit and Mario then end up fighting them as well. In both variants, the outcome is similar; the team who defeated the fake princess also defeat the other team, who gets snatched up byKing Dedede'sCargo. However,Kirby arrives and revives the defeated team from their trophy forms. Then either Pit or Link blows out the Cargo's engine and all five go after Dedede.

Pit and the others track Dedede down to his castle, but upon entering, they find the throne room in ruins. They explore a nearby cave and eventually findBowser getting away with the princess that wasn't rescued in the beginning. Pit fires an arrow at Bowser, but this only causes abadge that the princess was wearing to fall off. Bowser escapes to the Halberd.

Pit and the others eventually find the Ancient Minister again, this time inthe Wilds. After chasing him for a period of time, theR.O.B.s intervene and detonate the Subspace Bomb that the Minister had been carrying. Pit and the others escape from the blast and reachthe Canyon, where they fought hordes from the Subspace Army and meet other heroes. They were eventually joined by even more fighters before enteringSubspace, where they met defeat byTabuu.

Fortunately, King Dedede had designed badges (including the one Kirby ate) to revive fighters from their trophy forms after a set amount of time. WithLuigi andNess by his side, Dedede rescues Pit and most of the others, while Kirby saves the remainder of the team. They then explorethe Great Maze before reaching Tabuu for their final battle.

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

SmashWiki article:Pit (SSB4)

Pit returns as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. While Minami Takayama reprised her role in the Japanese version, Pit is now voiced in English by Anthony Del Rio, his voice actor fromKid Icarus: Uprising, which was also developed by Masahiro Sakurai. While part of his moveset is the same as inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, such as Palutena's Arrow (now named Palutena Bow, as the weapon is known inKid Icarus: Uprising), all of his other special moves as well as hisFinal Smash have been replaced, mostly to reflect his appearance inKid Icarus: Uprising. While Pit still has multiple jumps, the gliding mechanic has been removed entirely.

His side special has been changed to the Upperdash Arm, in which Pit dashes forward to uppercut opponents. His down special is now the Guardian Orbitars, which puts up a pair of shields to defend Pit on both sides and push away opponents, though they shatter if attacked enough. His up special is the Power of Flight, which gives Pit a brief burst of height. His Final Smash has been changed to theThree Sacred Treasures, in which he dons the treasures and attacks with light arrows.

In addition, by quickly using Pit's down taunt on thePalutena's Temple stage inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, it triggers hisSmash Taunt,Palutena's Guidance, in which Pit, Palutena, andViridi appear and talk about one of the opponents, similarly toSnake'scodecs in the previous game.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Pit (SSBU)

Pit returns inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, as an unlockable playable character, retaining his special moveset from the previous installment. He has a new Final Smash, whereby he rides in theLightning Chariot and can charge onto any spot on the battlefield using a reticle. This makes him one of the few fighters that have appeared sinceSuper Smash Bros. Brawl to have a different Final Smash in each appearance (along withKing Dedede,R.O.B., andZero Suit Samus).Dark Pit is also specified as an Echo Fighter based on Pit in this game. Pit gains a new quote for his Star KO'd animation. Pit's up tilt is called Anti-Air Attack, while his down aerial is called Under-Arch Slash.

Pit has received many improvements compared to the previous installment, such as faster mobility, reduced short hop timing and landing lag in aerial attacks, the reintroduction of directional air dodging, the ability to dash cancel any ground attack, and the ability to use aerial attacks on ladders. Pit also receives improvements such as decreased ending lag in his up tilt, down tilt, and down throw; increased ability to knock back opponents in his dash attack, forward smash, back aerial attack, and down aerial attack; and increased damage for his standard, forward, and up aerial attacks.

In the Adventure mode, both Pit andDark Pit are present when the fighters opposeGaleem for the first time. The former is seen before Galeem unleash the large laser attack;Palutena then tries to reflect Galeem's 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.

Pit'sfighter spirit uses his artwork fromKid Icarus: Uprising. He also makes an appearance in two primary spirits.

Notes

• Pit's redesign fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl was re-used inKid Icarus: Uprising for theNintendo 3DS developed bySora Ltd., who also developedSuper Smash Bros. Brawl.
• In the Japanese version of the games, Pit occasionally says "Yarare-chatta..." when he is KO'd; a reference to theGame Over text in the NESKid Icarus. In the international versions ofSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, however, this is translated directly to "I'm done for...", making it break the reference. This is changed to "I'm finished!" in the subsequent games; as how the aforementioned Game Over screen is translated in the international release ofKid Icarus.
  • Similarly, Pit's Star KO line inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate,"I never learned how to read!", is a reference to a line of dialogue he uses inKid Icarus: Uprising. This is not present in the Japanese version, which simply uses his Star KO scream inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Snake (SSBB)

Snake's appearance inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl was revealed from the very first trailer premiered in May 2006. His reveal was very noteworthy, marking the first time a third-party character had debuted in the series. He uses his general appearance fromMetal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, though also taking elements from Big Boss inMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, such as the facial hair and his alternate costumes based upon the camouflage suits. Snake is the third heaviest character in the game, even surpassing characters such asKing Dedede,Ganondorf andCharizard, and only behindBowser andDonkey Kong. HisFinal Smash is Grenade Launcher, in which he jumps onto a helicopter and fires grenades on the stage.

By doing a split-second downtaunt onShadow Moses Island, Snake performs aSmash Taunt in which he contacts one of severalMetal Gear characters viacodec to analyze the opponent, specificallyMei Ling,Otacon, andColonel Roy Campbell (as well asSlippy Toad, who appears only in the conversation forFalco). Below are several notes on his codec conversations regarding fighters related to theSuper Mario franchise:

• In the codec call aboutYoshi, Snake suggests capturing him to "see what he tastes like", which is Naked Snake's typical response to animal life inMetal Gear Solid 3.
• In the codec call aboutPeach, Snake, after criticizing Peach for constantly letting herself get kidnapped instead of actually doing something to prevent it, is accused by Mei Ling of not getting many dates, alluding to how he constantly has trouble maintaining a constant relationship with various women, notably stiffing Holly White in the ending toMetal Gear 2: Solid Snake and his leaving Meryl Silverburgh sometime betweenMetal Gear Solid andMetal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
• In the codec call aboutDonkey Kong, Snake refers to him as being a "chip off the old block" upon learning about how he is the most recent Donkey Kong after inheriting the title fromCranky Kong and continuing the tradition of being a rival to Mario, alluding to how Snake himself inherited his title from his "father", Big Boss/Naked Snake, who himself had inherited the title of "Boss" from his mentor and mother figure, The Boss.

The Subspace Emissary

Snake's cardboard box is first seen in a cutscene after clearingThe Research Facility, but Snake himself does not show until later. Once he is ready to begin his mission, Snake reveals himself to the player and begins sneaking around theHalberd Battleship. He hears a sound approaching him as he is walking around, and quickly hides in his box asLucario andMeta Knight pass by him. However, Lucario turns back around, and sees through the box with his Aura. He picks up the box, much to Snake's surprise. Snake readies himself for battle, but Lucario noticesPrimids coming with his Aura. Lucario then tells Snake to follow him, and they form a party. Later, they reach a room in which there are two cages with the trophies ofPeach andZelda, and the purple Shadow Bugs make dark versions of the two. The team fights the evil princesses and defeats them, rescuing the real Princesses out of the cages they are kept in.

As Meta Knight and Lucario leave, Snake tells the two girls to stay where they are and then proceeds to catch up. Lucario, Meta Knight, and Snake have gone to the bridge to find that there are a lot ofMr. Game & Watches piloting the ship. Snake runs and throws them all out the window, making them all land on the deck of the Halberd and turn into Shadow Bugs. Snake and Lucario then jump out the window to see the Shadow Bugs createDuon.

Later, when the team encountersTabuu, Snake and the rest are transformed into trophies. If Snake is rescued during the Great Maze, he will join the team and help take on Tabuu.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Snake (SSBU)

While Snake was completely absent fromSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, he returns inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character after a decade long absence from the series. His basic moveset is mostly unchanged fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl; for his down smash, however, he now executes a forward and backward kick similar toCaptain Falcon instead of planting a mine in the ground. Additionally, for his Final Smash, the player controls an on-screen reticle to lock onto opponents by hovering it over them, after which Snake sends out heat-seeking missiles to attack them. Snake's series emblem is now the exclamation mark that would appear when a character is alerted in the original series, replacing the FOX Unit logo (which is also the former logo forKojima Productions) following Kojima's departure from Konami. His home stage Shadow Moses Island also makes a reappearance, as well as his codec conversations, albeit the recycled ones fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl (with the exception of the conversation onLink no longer mentioning theClawshot) and excluding those for fighters that do not appear in that game.

Snake's mobility has been significantly improved, sporting faster walking, dashing, air, and fast falling speeds, while his initial dash is also improved. Like all other characters, Snake's aerial attacks have much less landing lag, while more of his attacks have faster startup lag, and less end lag. Snake, like all other characters, can directionally air dodge, while being able to use any ground attack out of a run and any of his aerial attacks on ladders. Snake's up and down tilts, up smash's mortar shell, and up throw have their damage outputs improved; however, his standard attack, forward tilt, neutral and down aerials, and down throw have their damage decreased. Snake is also significantly lighter than inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, now only being heavier than Link,Yoshi, Captain Falcon,Mii Gunner andMin Min, lighter thanWario,Ike,Ridley,Simon andRichter while weighing the same asR.O.B. andBanjo &Kazooie. Lastly, some of his attacks have had their range lowered.

In the World of Light, Snake is seen when the fighters opposeGaleem for the first time; in his case, he hid himself in his cardboard box to dodge Galeem's attack of lasers, but fails and is captured by Galeem and used to create puppet fighters.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Ike (SSBB)

Ike appears as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, using his appearance inFire Emblem: Path of Radiance. He fights using the two-handed longsword Ragnell, which gives his attacks power and range, but as a result he is slower and heavier than most characters. Ike was not originally intended to be in the game from the start; instead,Masahiro Sakurai had created a template for a slow but powerful swordsman. As he also wanted to include a newFire Emblem character, it was decided that Ike, in addition to being the protagonist of the latest games in theFire Emblem series at the time, would be a good fit for the concept. Ike is voiced by Jason Adkins in English, and by Michihiko Hagi in Japanese, his respective voice actors since the release ofFire Emblem: Path of Radiance. This also makes him the firstFire Emblem character in the series to be given an English voice actor.

Ike's neutral special move is Eruption, in which he plunges his sword into the ground to create an explosion. His side special move is Quick Draw, which has Ike charge a sword slash that sends him directly forward. His up special is Aether, in which Ike throws his sword into the air and slams back into the ground. His down special move is Counter, which has Ike deal a counterattack if he is hit. HisFinal Smash is Great Aether, which has him slash any nearby opponents into the air, where he repeatedly attacks them before slamming them back into the ground.

The Subspace Emissary

Ike makes his debut in The Subspace Emissary near the end ofThe Battlefield Fortress. During the story, bothMarth andMeta Knight fail to stop theAncient Minister from carrying another Subspace Bomb to another location in the trophy world. Hope seems lost for the two, until, out of nowhere, the Ragnell sword begins hovering behind the Ancient Minister, and Ike continues to use Aether on the Subspace Bomb, breaking it and deactivating it, making the Ancient Minister flee. The three warriors continue through the wasteland, finally reaching the Ancient Minister, but are unable to do anything as he floated over a cliff.

The three continue to dash onwards throughThe Wilds, after seeingGalleom in its tank form. Galleom transforms into its main form after meeting the swordsmen. Ike, Marth, and Meta Knight face off against Galleom afterwords, and then continue intoThe Canyon. After Meta Knight had left the group after Galleom was defeated a second time, Ike, alongsidePokémon Trainer,Lucas, and Marth, are seen fighting many Primids, now with theIce Climbers. The five "warriors" are then seen (Mario,Pit,Kirby,Link, andYoshi) in the background, jumping off from a bluff to help fight off the army. After awhile, Ike, alongside many others, are flown intoSubspace, where he and all others are turned into trophies. However,King Dedede,Ness, andLuigi recover him, and others (Kirby also helps afterwards). He and the others are then pitted againstThe Great Maze, and then the creature whom turned the heroes into trophies,Tabuu.

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

SmashWiki article:Ike (SSB4)

Ike returns as a veteran fighter inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. His design has been changed to be his appearance as aHero inFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. While Ike's moveset is no different from the previous game, most of his attacks that use fire use blue flames rather than the red seen inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, referencing his blessing by the goddessYune at the end ofFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, during which his sword is cloaked in blue fire. Ike receives faster movement and attack speed, in exchange for his overall damage output being slightly toned down.

SmashWiki article:Ike (SSBU)

Ike reappears inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character, where this time, players can choose to play as hisFire Emblem: Path of Radiance orFire Emblem: Radiant Dawn appearance. His voice also changes slightly depending on which appearance is used, which is provided by his voice actor fromFire Emblem Heroes, Greg Chun, replacing Jason Adkins from previousSuper Smash Bros. installments. Ike benefits greatly from universal changes: his mobility is even faster, his short hop timing is greatly reduced, his aerials have less landing lag, his recovery is extended by the reintroduction of directional air dodges, and his offensive play is aided by the abilities to use any ground attack out of a run and use his aerials on ladders.

On a side note, as with several other returning fighters, Ike's (as well as Marth and Roy's) victory theme has been sped up compared to the previous installments.

Classic Mode route

Ike's Classic Mode route involves fighting characters in dark-colored alternate costumes (except if they are dark-colored by default). This represents his relationship with theBlack Knight in his own games.

Appearances in otherSuper Mario–related media

Super Mario Maker

Ike 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 character costumes.

SmashWiki article:Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)

Pokémon Trainer artwork fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl

Red, albeit known simply as "Pokémon Trainer", is the first playablePokémon representative in theSuper Smash Bros. series who is not an actualPokémon. Though a selectable character, he is not an actual fighter, instead commanding any of his three Pokémon in the background of the stage, his team consisting ofSquirtle,Ivysaur, andCharizard. The only move the trainer performs isPokémon Change, which allows the player to switch out his three Pokémon at will throughout the battle. He also automatically switches Pokémon whenever one is KO'd. The Pokémon also run on a stamina system that weakens them, as their stamina decreases the longer they are out on the field. TheirFinal Smash isTriple Finish, which has the trainer send out all three Pokémon at once to attack. In English, the Pokémon Trainer is voiced byMichele Knotz.

Pokémon Trainer is one of the few fighters to only get five alternate costumes inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, instead of the usual six. This is also shared with fellowPokémon representativesLucario andJigglypuff, as well asSonic. One of Pokémon Trainer's alternative costumes has the same colors as another Pokémon Trainer: Brendan's outfit fromPokémon Emerald.

For unknown reasons, Pokémon Trainer's name is announced differently between the English and Japanese versions ofSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. This trait is shared withFox McCloud in the originalSuper Smash Bros.

The Subspace Emissary

The Pokémon Trainer in The Subspace Emissary

InThe Subspace Emissary, he allies withLucas, who helps him find his Charizard and Ivysaur. The two also encounterWario and a large Subspace Army robot,Galleom. They are saved from the robot's detonation byMeta Knight, and they team up with him,Marth, andIke afterwards. When encountering a huge Subspace Army group on the foothills of a mountain (Meta Knight has left to retake the Halberd), they are saved byMario and his team (Link,Yoshi,Pit, andKirby).

Pokémon Trainer returns as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. With the removal of the stamina system, one can play as Squirtle, Ivysaur, or Charizard for an extended period of time with no penalty. This time, a female Pokémon Trainer variant can also be used, akin toVillager,Wii Fit Trainer,Robin,Corrin andInkling, and like them, is statistically identical to the male one. She is represented byLeaf, the femaleplayer character ofPokémon FireRed andLeafGreen Versions. In English, Billy Bob Thompson (who also voicesGreninja) voices the male Pokémon Trainer, while Kate Bristol voices the female. In Japanese, Tomoe Hanba voices the male trainer and Wakana Minami (previously known by her stage name, Wakana Kingyo) voices the female trainer. A majority of the male Pokémon Trainer's quotes are also different fromSuper Smash Bros. Brawl as well.

Both Pokémon Trainers'fighter spirits use their artwork from this game.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Melee

InSuper Smash Bros. Melee, Squirtle is the first Pokémon to appear on thePoké Floats stage. There is also a Squirtletrophy, obtainable in the Lottery or when it appears at random in the game's single-player modes.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Squirtle (SSBB)

Squirtle is a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. However, it takes commands from thePokémon Trainer, who is the real mastermind behind Squirtle's actions. The other two Pokémon used by Pokémon Trainer areIvysaur andCharizard. When the Pokémon Trainer usesPokémon Change, his down special move, he returns Squirtle and sends out Ivysaur next, but when used with Charizard, Squirtle is sent out. Squirtle is the lightest of the group, but also attacks the quickest.

Squirtle's special moves are derived fromWater-type attacks from thePokémon series. Its standard special move isWater Gun, in which it charges an attack to spit water at opponents. Its side special isWithdraw, which causes it to charge directly ahead in its shell. Its up special isWaterfall, which causes Squirtle to leap into the air on a stream of water.

Like all Pokémon of the Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle shares the damage meter with the other Pokémon and has a special stamina stat. It is there to regulate the Pokémon changes. When the player changes Pokémon rarely or too often, the stamina of the Pokémon runs low. Squirtle can also wall jump, and has the ability to stick to walls. Finally, Squirtle has a similar type effectiveness to its games of origin, making it take more damage from grass attacks but less from fire attacks. Squirtle is voiced byMichele Knotz, who also does the voice of the Pokémon Trainer.

The Subspace Emissary

In theSubspace Emissary, the Pokémon Trainer starts out with only Squirtle. Eventually, he earns Ivysaur and Charizard.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

Although Squirtle does not return as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, it appears as atrophy in both versions of the game.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Squirtle (SSBU)

Squirtle returns alongside the Pokémon Trainer, Ivysaur, and Charizard as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, with its appearance updated to match its current design. The stamina mechanic has been removed, so like Ivysaur and Charizard, Squirtle does not tire if in battle for an extended period of time. Pokémon Trainer's type effectiveness mechanic is abolished, which removes Squirtle's weakness to Grass-type attacks (e.g., those that Ivysaur possesses), but eliminates its resistance to Fire-type attacks in the process (e.g.,Mario's forward smash). Michele Knotz reprises her role as Squirtle, but with newly-recorded voice clips.

Squirtle has a new down tilt which only hits once, while its forward smash now has it lash out a stream of water. Squirtle's back aerial is repurposed into a multi-hitting attack, while its standard and forward aerials receive alterations. Squirtle benefits from the game's universal changes: its grounded mobility is faster; its aerial attacks have less landing lag; its short hop timing is reduced; it can directionally air dodge; and it can use any grounded attack out of a run, and any of its aerials while on ladders. Squirtle's smash attacks all deal more knockback, while more of its attacks have decreased startup or ending lag. In compensation, its overall damage output is decreased, its aerial mobility is hindered by reduced air speed and air acceleration, and some of its attacks are slower or have less range than before.

Super Mario Maker

Squirtle appears as anEvent Coursecostume inSuper Mario Maker. It can be unlocked by completing the "I Choose You!"Event Course along with Bulbasaur and Charmander, released on February 11, 2016. Unlike thePokémon costumes already available in the game, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander use sound effects from the originalPokémon games.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Ivysaur (SSBB)

In theSuper Smash Bros. series starting withSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, Ivysaur appears as one ofPokémon Trainer's three Pokémon along withSquirtle andCharizard. Its standard special move isBullet Seed, which involves it shooting seeds directly upward, its up special isVine Whip, which has it attack with a vine that strikes upward, and its side special isRazor Leaf, which involves it throwing a grass projectile forward. Its down special isPokémon Change, in which the Pokémon Trainer returns Ivysaur and sends out Charizard, or sends it out if Squirtle is the active Pokémon. For the group's collectiveFinal Smash,Triple Finish, Ivysaur attacks withSolarBeam.

Ivysaur has a certain amount of stamina, which decreases as it remains on the battlefield and weakens its attacking power. Ivysaur also has an extended grab in the form of two vines, but unlike other characters it does not function as atether recovery; this is instead given to Vine Whip. In addition, Ivysaur, like in thePokémon games, takes less damage from water attacks but takes more from fire attacks.

Ivysaur is found during theSubspace Emissary part of the game as atrophy sitting inside a cave before Pokémon Trainer battles Charizard. Pokémon Trainer throws aPoké Ball at it and it is caught. After that Ivysaur can be used during the campaign.

Ivysaur is voiced byCraig Blair, who previously voiced it in the Generation I-VPokémon anime.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U

The concept of switching between Pokémon is omitted fromSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U, causing Charizard to return as a standalone fighter, while Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, and Ivysaur are not playable. Ivysaur, does however, appear as a trophy alongside Squirtle and Pokémon Trainer.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:Ivysaur (SSBU)

Ivysaur reappears inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character, alongside Pokémon Trainer and Squirtle. Ivysaur's design is updated to reflect its current appearance, while it is now voiced by Justin Alsemi, who has voiced it sincePokémon X andY. Ivysaur's standard attack has a finisher in the form of a double vine slap, while its down tilt now only hits once. Additionally, some of its attacks have more range.

Ivysaur benefits from the game's universal changes: its mobility is faster; its aerial attacks have less landing lag; its short hop timing is reduced; it can directionally air dodge; and it can use any grounded attack out of a run, and any of its aerials on ladders. Ivysaur also benefits from Pokémon Change becoming faster, as it can easily switch to Charizard when needed. Lastly, some of its attacks also deal more knockback, have their damage rebalanced, or have less startup and ending lag. Ivysaur also benefits greatly from the removal of Pokémon Trainer's stamina and type effectiveness mechanics: the former allows Ivysaur to battle tirelessly, only switching to Squirtle or Charizard by will; the latter abolished Ivysaur's vulnerability to Fire-type attacks (e.g.,Mario's forward smash), while also removing its resistance to Water-type attacks (e.g.,Corrin's Dragon Fang Shot).

Charizard appears inSuper Smash Bros. as aPoké Ball Pokémon. When summoned, it turns from side to side, usingFlamethrower to attack opponents.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

InSuper Smash Bros. Melee Charizard once again appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon, retaining its attack and pattern from the original game, but this time using a 3D model ported from the Nintendo 64Pokémon Stadium games instead of a 2D sprite, like all other Poké Ball Pokémon.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Charizard (SSBB)

Charizard appears as one of the Pokémon used by thePokémon Trainer (alongsideSquirtle andIvysaur), who remains in the background of a stage while Charizard fights. Charizard is the heaviest of the three Pokémon, but is also the strongest and the fastest, though it walks the slowest. It is also capable ofgliding, one of three characters in the entire game with this ability. Like in thePokémon games Charizard is also affected by an emulation of the series'type effectiveness; it takes more damage from water attacks but less from grass attacks. Charizard also has a limited stamina, which decreases as it is on the field but replenishes while it is not, but its attacks are weaker as its stamina decreases.

Charizard's standard special move isFlamethrower, which involves Charizard breathing a continuous stream of fire. Its side special move isRock Smash, which has it break a rock with its head to damage opponents, and its up special isFly, which has Charizard fly directly up into the air. When its down specialPokémon Change is used, Charizard is switched out withSquirtle, and is switched in when used asIvysaur. ItsFinal Smash, shared amongst all three Pokémon, isTriple Finish, in which Charizard performsFire Blast.

The Subspace Emissary

In theSubspace Emissary, Charizard is the last Pokémon that the Pokémon Trainer collects.Lucas and the trainer first see Charizard flying into a mountain, and Pokémon Trainer points out to Lucas that it is the third Pokémon he must collect. After traveling through the mountain, Pokémon Trainer and Lucas find Charizard, who attacks them. The two battle the large Pokémon, which is turned into atrophy upon its defeat. The trainer collects the trophy, and Charizard joins the party.

“Charizard Fires it Up!”

—Introduction,Super Smash Bros. Direct

Charizard returns as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. However, in both games, it is a standalone fighter, rather than being one of thePokémon Trainer's Pokémon, due to the removing of in-battle transformation moves. As such, Rock Smash takes the place of Pokémon Change as its down special move, while its new side special move isFlare Blitz, which involves Charizard flying directly forward, covered in fire which also damages itself. Charizard's new Final Smash isMega Evolution, which involves it Mega Evolving into its Mega Charizard X form^[4]. In addition, the glide and type effectiveness mechanics have also been removed.

Like all the other playable Pokémon, Charizard can be equipped with the X Attack, X Defense, and X Speed equipment. Additionally, Charizard can use the Fake Nails equipment, making it the only fighter in the game who can use three different attack equipment types.

SmashWiki article:Charizard (SSBU)

Charizard appears, along withSquirtle andIvysaur, as part of thePokémon Trainer's team inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Its moveset is similar to that seen inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, with Rock Smash being replaced by Pokémon Change. Furthermore, its stamina mechanics are removed, allowing it to be used for the whole fight with no penalty. Just like inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, its final Smash is Triple Finish and no longer has it Mega Evolving into its Mega Charizard X form. Its type effectiveness mechanic is also abolished, which removes Charizard's vulnerability to Water-type attacks (e.g., those that Squirtle uses), but, in exchange, eliminates its resistance to Grass-type attacks (e.g., those that Ivysaur uses).

Charizard benefits from the game's universal changes: its overall mobility is faster (in spite of having a slightly slower walking speed); its aerials have less landing lag; its short hop timing is shortened; it can directionally air dodge; and it can use any grounded attack out of a run and any aerial attack while on ladders. Charizard's overall damage output and its attacks' knockback are both increased. In a similar vein to fellow veteranSonic the Hedgehog and newcomersInkling andIncineroar, Charizard takes minor damage from swimming in water; this is due to it both being unable to swim its home games and being weak to Water-type Pokémon in said games.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Lucas (SSBB)

Lucas appears inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl as a playable character, one of the two representatives from theEarthBound (Mother) series. Lucas' special moveset is almost exactly likeNess' from the previous games, but with a few minor tweaks. His neutral special is PK Freeze, which sends up a snowflake-shaped blast of PSI energy that freezes opponents caught in its blast radius when Lucas sets it off. His side special is PK Fire, which sends out a lightning bolt-shaped blast of PSI energy directly forward that explodes when it hits. His down special is PSI Magnet, which sets up a barrier of PSI energy in front of himself that absorbs projectiles to restore damage and attack when the barrier is dropped. His up special is PK Thunder, which discharges a streaming, electric blast of PSI energy that can attack opponents and/or propel Lucas. HisFinal Smash, also shared with Ness, is PK Starstorm, which sends groups of shooting stars raining down on the stage in an inward direction, damaging anybody hit by them, although they deal slightly less damage compared to Ness's PK Starstorm. Lucas does not actually learn any of his special moves inMother 3; rather, they are all learned by his party memberKumatora.

However, almost all of Lucas' normal moves and smash attacks are completely different. The only exception is his forward smash attack, which operates similarly to Ness' baseball bat, albeit with Lucas wielding a stick instead. In addition, Lucas' grab is theRope Snake, a weapon used by his party memberDuster, which also acts as atether recovery. One of Lucas's alternate costumes resembles his brother Claus. Lucas's home stage isNew Pork City.

Lucas wasoriginally meant to replace Ness inSuper Smash Bros. Melee.^[6] However, this was averted due to the delay and cancellation ofMother 3 for theNintendo 64, then tentatively known in North America asEarthBound 64. Nonetheless,Mother 3 was later rescheduled and redeveloped for theGame Boy Advance in 2003 and was released in 2006, though only in Japan.

Lucas is voiced by Lani Minella, who also voicesPit.

Role in theThe Subspace Emissary

In The Subspace Emissary, Lucas is shown as a weak, shy and timid figure, almost identically to how he appeared in the beginning ofMother 3.

Lucas first appears alone inThe Ruined Zoo. He is attacked by thePorky Statue, butNess arrives to save him. They proceed to fightPorky, but thenWario arrives with his Dark Cannon and attempts to hit Ness with it. Ness dodges his attacks, so Wario tries to attack Lucas instead. Lucas doesn't move out of the way, so Ness ends up taking the hit himself. Lucas, scared, runs away and meets thePokémon Trainer, and they join to fight theSubspace Army, as Lucas cannot forget what Wario had done to Ness.

Outsidethe Ruins, the Pokémon Trainer decides to capture aCharizard that flew by. Before entering them, however, they are ambushed by Wario. They defeat him, but Lucas becomes disappointed that Wario does not have Ness with him anymore. After capturing Charizard and anIvysaur inside the Ruins, Lucas and the Pokémon Trainer reachThe Ruined Hall, where they are attacked byGalleom. After defeating him, Galleom takes them and starts flying into the air, with a Subspace Bomb in his head about to go off. Lucas frees himself and the Pokémon Trainer, and they are then saved byMeta Knight, whose team they then join.

AtThe Glacial Peak, Meta Knight leaves them, but they are then joined by theIce Climbers as the Subspace Army is sent out to attack them.Mario,Link,Yoshi,Kirby and Pit then appear and defeated the enemies. Soon, the other remaining heroes show up and they enterSubspace together. Unfortunately, Lucas and the others were defeated byTabuu. But then Lucas is saved byKing Dedede, who had revived Ness andLuigi with badges. All of the revived heroes then fight and defeat Tabuu.

Lucas was initially absent from the roster, but later on released as the second downloadable playable character afterMewtwo inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, on June 14, 2015.^[7] Visually, Lucas' moveset is almost unchanged from the previous game, though his Final Smash, PK Starstorm, has been altered to be similar to Ness' version. Additionally, Lucas has three new alternate costumes, which feature sprites of theMasked Man,Boney, and a babyDrago on his shirt. Lucas' design is changed: he loses the blush on his cheeks, his eyes lose their bluish hue, and he is taller and sleeker overall. Lucas' mobility is improved in this installment, while his attacks can better link into each other. On the downside, however, many of his attacks either deal less damage and knockback or have less range.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros.

King Dedede makes a minor appearance inSuper Smash Bros., as a background element that can be seen flying by on theDream Land stage.

According to the website, King Dedede was originally planned to be a playable character, but he was cut due to time constraints.^[9]

Super Smash Bros. Melee

InSuper Smash Bros. Melee, King Dedede makes an appearance as atrophy. He is also still on the Dream Land stage, which returns from the originalSuper Smash Bros.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:King Dedede (SSBB)

King Dedede makes his playable debut in theSuper Smash Bros. series inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. In the game, he is voiced byMasahiro Sakurai, his original creator and the director of theSuper Smash Bros. series, who also voiced him inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards. King Dedede is one of the heaviest characters, making him slower, but similar toKirby, he has multiple mid-air jumps, and has the fastest falling speed of any character. Dedede's hammer gives his moves range and power, but many of his attacks are slow to execute to compensate.

Dedede's standard special move is Inhale, which works similarly to Kirby's move, but Dedede cannot copy opponents, and instead is only able to carry them and spit them back out as a projectile. His side special move is Waddle Dee Toss, in which he throws aWaddle Dee (occasionally aWaddle Doo or rarely aGordo) at opponents. His up special move is Super Dedede Jump, in which Dedede leaps into the air and slams back toward the ground. His down special move is Jet Hammer, in which Dedede charges a hammer swing powered by a jet engine. Dedede's Final Smash is Waddle Dee Army, which summons Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos and Gordos to attack.

Aside from King Dedede's standard and up specials, his dash attack and forward smash originate from theKirby games, with the former being his signature trip, while the latter is an attack he commonly uses against Kirby.

The Subspace Emissary

In theSubspace Emissary, King Dedede learns ofTabuu's motives, and about his Off Waves, and worries that if all the fighters of theWorld of Trophies are all turned into trophies, then there will be no one to change them back. Therefore, he develops special brooches that are set to turn trophies back into fighters after a specific amount of time. It is also revealed through theSmash Bros. DOJO!! that King Dedede engagesMeta Knight in combat as theSubspace Army takes hisHalberd, though this scene was cut from the final version ofSuper Smash Bros. Brawl.^[10]

He is first seen attackingLuigi with his mallet and turning him into a trophy. He then hides and leaves the trophy out in the open as bait. Wario comes along with the Princess (Peach orZelda, depending on whoKirby rescued) andNess and sees Luigi's trophy. Wario takes it, but King Dedede'sWaddle Dees come and attack Wario. Wario lets go of the Luigi trophy, which King Dedede takes. After that, he steals Wario's vehicle and drives off with the Princess trophy and Ness trophy. He later attempts to take either theMario andPit trophies or theLink andYoshi trophies, until Kirby shows up and frees them. All five character chase down King Dedede.

King Dedede looking at his trophies

In his castle, he puts one of his brooches on all the trophies he collected, giving the one he was keeping for himself to the Princess. However,Bowser starts attacking them, turning Dedede into a trophy and after a battle, Bowser escapes with the princess trophy (who dropped the badge King Dedede put on her) and Mario, Link, Pit, Yoshi, and Kirby run away leaving the King Dedede, Luigi, and Ness trophies behind. Later, King Dedede's castle is blown up by the Subspace Bomb and the Luigi, Ness and King Dedede trophies are pulled intoSubspace. Meanwhile, Kirby finds the other Dedede badge that the princess dropped andInhales it.

After Tabuu turns everyone into trophies, the brooches activate, bringing Luigi and Ness back to life, who in turn revive King Dedede as well. King Dedede then helps Ness and Luigi save everyone. When King Dedede bringsBowser back to life, Bowser attacks. However King Dedede defeats him, turning him into a trophy. Dedede then revives Bowser and before he can attack again, flicks him on the nose, then points over toward the staircase tothe Great Maze.

After Kirby arrives with several more fighters, King Dedede directs them to the Great Maze. They explore the maze, defeating previously defeated bosses and battlingclones of themselves. After defeating all of these, they head in to Tabuu's chamber for the final battle. Tabuu attempts to turn all the fighters back into trophies, but is ambushed by Sonic, weakening him and allowing the fighters to defeat him. Tabuu disappears and the World of Trophies is restored.

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

SmashWiki article:King Dedede (SSB4)

King Dedede returns as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. While Masahiro Sakurai reprises King Dedede's role, he is given a more distorted voice. Several of his moves have been changed from the previous game; most of his aerial attacks are new, his side special has been changed to Gordo Throw, in which Dedede hammers aGordo to attack opponents, and hisFinal Smash has been changed to Dedede Burst, which involves Dedede drawing in opponents with his suction breath before hammering them and ending with a bomb exploding on them. While most of his attributes remain relatively unchanged, he no longer has the fastest falling speed; King Dedede's air speed is slower, though other aspects of his mobility are improved. Similarly to Meta Knight, King Dedede also has his overall damage output toned down.

Dedede also once again appears flying in the background of theDream Land (64) stage that returns as downloadable content, though only when he is not part of the battle.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

SmashWiki article:King Dedede (SSBU)

King Dedede returns as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate where he is unlockable for the first time in the series. He has a new Final Smash, called the Dede-Rush, in which he traps opponents in a caged arena and fires missiles at them before finishing them off with his hammer asMasked Dedede, launching them away. This makes him one of the few fighters that have appeared sinceSuper Smash Bros. Brawl to have a different Final Smash in each appearance (along withR.O.B.,Pit, andZero Suit Samus). King Dedede's back aerial is now a horizontal hammer swing, which has much greater range than his previous one. Aesthetically, Jet Hammer now burns with blue fire instead of orange. King Dedede's mobility is improved in all aspects, while a majority of his attacks are faster, deal more damage or knockback, or have larger hitboxes. His down tilt is Rolling, while his dash attack is Belly Flop. King Dedede can now inhale his own Gordos and other projectiles and spit them back out.

Like inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, King Dedede also appears flying in the background of Dream Land (64), though only when he is not part of the battle.

King Dedede briefly appears inKing K. Rool's debut trailer, where he pranks Donkey and Diddy Kong by wearing a King K. Rool disguise, and then proceeding to laugh hysterically at the joke he played on them before being knocked out by the actual King K. Rool.

In the Chinese version, King Dedede is the only character whose name is announced differently between the Simplified and Traditional Chinese versions: The former uses "King Dedede!" from the English version, while the latter uses "Dedede!" from the Japanese version.

Appearances in otherSuper Mario–related media

Mario Kirby Meisaku Video

King Dedede, alongside his rival Kirby, appeared alongside Mario in the obscure educational videoMario Kirby Meisaku Video; however, this video was merely a compilation of their non-intertwining adventures. In Kirby'sMario Kirby Meisaku Video segment, King Dedede acted as the main antagonist, where it was believed that he had kidnapped the mother of a stray puppy that Kirby befriended. In actuality, King Dedede discovered the dog to have been injured and attempted to nurse her back to health at his castle.

Super Mario Maker

King Dedede also appears inSuper Mario Maker as aMystery Mushroomcostume, based on his appearance inKirby's Adventure.

Luigi's Mansion

A trailer for the firstPikmin game, which includes Olimar, appears inLuigi's Mansion's option screen. As the release ofLuigi's Mansion predates that ofPikmin, this marks Olimar's overall first appearance in a video game.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Olimar wasplanned to make an appearance inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga as one of the characters that appears whenMario andLuigi create new brews inStarbeans Cafe. In this appearance, his dialogue was written in the type of text box that appears whenever Mario or Luigi get certain items, as though written in a log book like in the actualPikmin games. He also names Mario "Marlio" (a complete anagram of "Olimar") and mistakes Luigi for a dangerous beast.^[11] However,Professor E. Gadd replaced all of the other characters in the final version of the game in order to give E. Gadd a larger role.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros. Melee

InSuper Smash Bros. Melee, Olimar appears in the form of a trophy, which is unlocked if there is a Memory Card with saved game data forPikmin inserted.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Various costumes of Olimar inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl

SmashWiki article:Olimar (SSBB)

Captain Olimar's playable debut in theSuper Smash Bros. series isSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, as one of the game's default fighters. Olimar is one of the smaller and lighter characters in the game. He fights with the help of up to sixPikmin, which follow him and are required in order to perform most of his attacks. Each type of Pikmin (red, blue, yellow, purple, and white) has its own attributes, which produce different effects for Olimar's attacks.

Olimar's standard special isPikmin Pluck, which allows him to pull up more Pikmin (if he has less than six) from the ground. His side special isPikmin Throw, in which Olimar tosses one of his Pikmin at his opponents. His down special isPikmin Order, which allows him to call his Pikmin back to his side and grants himsuper armor as a defensive option. His up special isPikmin Chain, in which Olimar tosses all of his Pikmin in a chain as atether recovery. HisFinal Smash isEnd of Day, in which he takes off whileBulborbs come on the stage and start attacking the players, similarly to the "end of day" sequence from thePikmin games. His "home" stage is theDistant Planet.

One of Olimar's costumes makes him look very similar to his sidekick,Louie.

The Subspace Emissary

Olimar's snapshot in the Subspace Emissary

Captain Olimar's Pikmin are attacking a hugeR.O.B. However, the R.O.B. spins around and all the Pikmin that are latched onto him are shaken off and perish. Captain Olimar starts shivering in fear of the robot. A red Pikmin walks up to Olimar and taps him on the side. Olimar turns around and the red Pikmin points at theBlue Falcon that is speeding through the forest.

Captain Falcon jumps out of the Blue Falcon and thenFalcon Punches the R.O.B., which defeats the R.O.B. instantly. Captain Falcon lands back on the ground while doing a slide similar to the Falcon Kick. However, while he is sliding on the ground, he accidentally kills the Pikmin who are in the way. Olimar and the Captain then team up to fight theSubspace Army.

Upon reaching the edge of theIsle of the Ancients, they witnessDiddy Kong attackingPrimids in order to rescue his palDonkey Kong. Falcon and a reluctant Olimar then decide to join forces with theKongs, and upon reaching them, the Primids return with backup. Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Captain Falcon, and Olimar manage to fight them off before they see offFalco, who had helped Diddy in bringing him to the ship that Donkey was held on.

The ship takes Olimar and his crew insidethe Subspace Bomb Factory. They eventually find theAncient Minister, alongsidePikachu andSamus.Ganondorf suddenly appears via hologram and commands theR.O.B.s in the room to detonate the Subspace Bombs inside the factory so he can create a large enough hole in space to fit a Subspace Gunship through. The Ancient Minister through desperation reveals himself to be the leader of the R.O.B.s and helps the other heroes defeat the Subspace enemies that Ganondorf dispatched. Olimar, with R.O.B. and the rest of the heroes, escapes from the island before it is dragged intoSubspace. All of the protagonists then unite to take down the Subspace Gunship and enter Subspace. Olimar and the others are subsequently turned into trophies byTabuu however.

Luckily,King Dedede had created badges that revive trophies beforehand, with Ness and Luigi eventually coming to their senses amidst the rubble of Dedede's Castle, which was destroyed by Bowser earlier on. The two eventually decide to revive Dedede and journey into Subspace to revive as many heroes as possible. Olimar is one of the trophies that may be revived by them when they enter Subspace. However it is optional for the player to revive him.

Olimar inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U

SmashWiki article:Olimar (SSB4)

Olimar appears as a default playable character inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. His appearance has been altered from the previous game, adding a whistle into his helmet like inPikmin 3. Instead of having six Pikmin like inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, Olimar can now only pluck three Pikmin at a time, and in a certain order (being red, yellow, blue, white, and purple). His up special move has also been changed toWinged Pikmin, in which a pair of Winged Pikmin fly Olimar through the air for a short time; however, the more active Pikmin he has, the heavier he is when using this move. Four of Olimar's alternate costumes replace him with Alph fromPikmin 3, who acts as a separate character to Olimar, while still taking up the same slot as him. Olimar's home stage in the Wii U version of the game isGarden of Hope. ForEquipment, Olimar can use the Pikmin equipment (usable only by him) to increase attack, the Space Suit (also available only to him) for defense, and the Boots for speed.

According toMasahiro Sakurai, the developers barely got Captain Olimar working inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS,^[12] hence why the Pikmin count is reduced to three while the Pikmin are rendered as sprites.^[13] Rock Pikmin were originally intended to be part of Olimar's moveset, but the idea was put in hold due to the lack of time.^[14] They would have been heavy, with short reach, but high attack power, akin to a stronger version of Purple Pikmin. Alph had even been considered to be a separate clone character until it was decided to make him an alternate costume of Olimar.^[15]

Its flavor is most satisfying! Finding that such a drink could be partook of in such a place is a tremendous discovery, indeed! This Marlio creature exhibits what seems to be a longing expression... Perhaps it will react if I present it with something... I have just noticed a strange,unsightly green creature standing next to the Marlio... It could be a dangerous life form.

• In theSuper Smash Bros. series, Olimar's eyes never glow yellow if he has broken theSmash Ball, not even if he is attacked.
• According to design documents, at one point during development ofSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, Alph was being considered as a fully separate playable character; he would have been a clone of Olimar, except with the addition of utilizing Rock Pikmin.^[16]
• On hisfighter page on the desktop version of the official EnglishSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate website, Olimar's name was originally misspelled as "Olimer." This mistake has since been corrected.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Wolf's appearance inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl.

SmashWiki article:Wolf (SSBB)

Wolf is one of the unlockable characters inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, using his appearance fromStar Fox: Assault, and is voiced by Jay Ward. According toMasahiro Sakurai, Wolf was nearly cut from the game due to time constraints. He is both the biggest and heaviest of theStar Fox characters. He is not as fast as Fox andFalco, but his attacks are more powerful. His aerial speed is better than that of Fox's and Falco's. He can be unlocked by having him join the party in The Subspace Emissary, playing 450 Brawl matches, or by clearing Boss Battles with either Fox or Falco, then defeating him onLylat Cruise.

Though hisspecial moves are based on the basic design of Fox's special moves, they have been altered for Wolf, with new effects for all of them. All his standard moves are different as well. Wolf's standard special move is theBlaster, though unlike Fox and Falco's, the gun has a claw-like extension that damages nearby opponents. His side special isWolf Flash, which gives Wolf some vertical height and has ameteor smash at the end. His up special isFire Wolf, in which Wolf instantly charges in the direction held on the control stick, the air surrounding him damaging opponents. His down special isReflector, which has a different visual effect than the other characters' Reflectors and increases the speed of reflected items and projectiles rather than power. HisFinal Smash is theLandmaster, his version having more firepower and sporting Wolfen coloration.

Wolf also appears in all of theStar Fox character Smash Taunts on Lylat Cruise.

The Subspace Emissary

Wolf's appearance in The Subspace Emissary

In The Subspace Emissary, Wolf does not play a major role and does not interact with other characters, but can join the player's party after beatingTabuu, along withJigglypuff andToon Link.
