Samus is the only female character to be playable in this game, not counting [[#Pikachu|Pikachu]] and [[#Jigglypuff|Jigglypuff]], which could be either gender starting in ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold & Silver]]'', and possibly [[Kirby]], whose sex is ambiguous<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostReturn084.html From the questionnaire on the N64「スマブラ拳!!」(''SmaBro Ken!!'') Japanese official website:]「サムスって，女性だったんすね，驚きました。」(''…I was surprised to learn that Samus is a woman.'') Masahiro Sakurai:「ピカチュウもメスかも？ カービィもメスかも？　その真相は闇の中。」(''Maybe Pikachu is also female? Maybe Kirby is also female? The truth is shrouded in darkness.'')</ref> despite the use of masculine pronouns.

Most of Samus's moves are carried over from the previous game, while she has been given a side special move, the Missile, in which she can fire either a homing missile or a Super Missile. The Grapple Beam can also now be used to cling to walls. Samus's down tilt is now a downwards blast with her arm cannon.

One of Samus's new alternate costumes in this game is based upon the [[metroidwiki:Fusion Suit|Fusion Suit]] from ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Fusion|Metroid Fusion]]'', while another is based upon the [[metroidwiki:Dark Suit|Dark Suit]] from ''[[metroidwiki:Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''.

In addition to her existing alternate costumes, Samus has been given two new ones: one based on the [[metroidwiki:Light Suit|Light Suit]] from ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', and one based on [[Assist Trophy#Dark Samus|Dark Samus]], who also appears as an [[Assist Trophy]].

She also appeared in the reveal trailer for [[Ridley]], alongside [[Mario]] and [[Mega Man]] as they explore an area reminiscent of Tourian. However, Ridley appears and defeats Mario and Mega Man, making Mario lose his hat in the process and taunts Samus by twirling it.

=====Classic Mode route=====

By completing Samus' Classic Mode route, it is possible to unlock [[Inkling]], [[Wii Fit Trainer]], [[Pit (character)|Pit]], [[Incineroar]], Dark Samus, [[Cloud Strife|Cloud]], [[Wario]], or [[Dark Pit]].

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=====

[[File:SubspaceIntro-Pikachu.png|thumb|Pikachu's snapshot in The Subspace Emissary]]

In addition to its alternate costumes in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', two of its new alternate costumes are the hats of [[bulbapedia:Ethan (game)|Ethan]] and [[bulbapedia:Calem (game)|Calem]], the male trainers in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|''Pokémon Gold'' and ''Silver Versions'']] and [[bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'']], respectively.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Pikachu (SSBU)}}

Pikachu returns as a playable fighter in ''[[Super 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. It also has two new alternate costumes, one that swaps it out for the female [[bulbapedia:Cosplay Pikachu|Pikachu Libre]] and another where it wears [[bulbapedia:Selene|Selene]]'s cap from ''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon''. Pikachu has various alterations to its moves and now appears angry during many attacks. Some of Pikachu's standard attacks receive names: its standard attack is Headbutt, its dash attack is Running Headbutt, its down smash is Electric Flower, its back aerial is Glider, and its down aerial is Electric Skew.

=====Classic Mode route=====

By completing Pikachu's Classic Mode route, it is possible to unlock [[Villager]], [[Shulk]], [[R.O.B.]], [[Mega Man]], [[Isabelle]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], or [[Pichu]]. Pikachu's Classic Mode route has it facing off against other Pokémon. The route's name, "I Choose You!", is a common phrase throughout the ''Pokémon'' franchise (for example, it is used in the title of [[bulbapedia:EP001|the first episode of the ''Pokémon'' anime]]).

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, [[FZeroWiki:Blood Falcon|Blood Falcon]], including a patch on his uniform saying "25 - Blood Hawk", which corresponds to the number and name of Blood Falcon's own [[List of Super Smash Bros. series objects#F-Zero machine|F-Zero machine]]. Another one of his colors recolors the original, brighter colors used in the ''F-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.

Captain Falcon has a unique way of using certain items in this game. For example, when using a [[Home-Run Bat]], Captain Falcon slams the opponent down and then up again, instead of hitting them across the screen. According to the [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] information of the [[Star Rod (Kirby)|Star Rod]], it has the most power when it is used with a Smash Attack of Captain Falcon or [[Sheik]].

Captain Falcon appears as a default character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. Although his moveset has remained overwhelmingly the same in regard to aesthetics, it has undergone noticeable mechanical changes that, when coupled with the general gameplay changes, significantly improve his combo game.

Ness's victory theme is based off of the second half of the Eight Melodies from ''EarthBound''. Ness has an unused voice clip with him shouting PK Starstorm. PK Starstorm would not become Ness's move until [[Final Smash]]es are introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

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

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 turn [[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Samus Aran|Samus]], [[Fox]], [[Pikachu]], [[Captain Falcon]], [[Marth]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]], [[Pit (character)|Pit]], [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], Lucas, [[Diddy Kong]], the [[Pokémon Trainer]], and [[Ike]] back into their living counterparts. Ness and Luigi also witness King Dedede's battle with [[Bowser]] and convince Wario about the truth of the situation. All trophies (including [[Kirby]] and the ones he rescued) then endure [[the Great Maze]] and fight Tabuu.

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 two [[Villager]]s with a [[Pitfall]]. 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 defeat [[Kirby]], [[Meta Knight]], [[Fox]], [[Falco]], [[Captain Olimar|Olimar]], and [[Rosalina|Rosalina & Luma]].

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

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.

While Jigglypuff's general moveset is unchanged, it has been given a [[Final 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 in [[The Swamp]] stage, the player will be taken to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and fight Jigglypuff in a one-stock match. Once defeated, it will join the player's party.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Jigglypuff (SSB4)}}

Jigglypuff returns once again as an unlockable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and for the first time as a default playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. It can be unlocked in the Nintendo 3DS version by collecting 30 pieces of equipment, or by winning 120 matches, and is the only playable Pokémon character to be unlockable in the game. All of its moves and its Final Smash from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' are kept in this game.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Jigglypuff (SSBU)}}

Jigglypuff appears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Compared to ''Super 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 oppose [[Galeem]] 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 for [[Kirby]]), 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 against Galeem and [[Dharkon]].

=====Classic Mode route=====

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