====''Super Smash Bros.''====

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Samus (SSB)}}

Samus's standard special move is the Charge Shot, which allows her to charge up a blast and fire it. Her up special move is the Screw Attack, in which she jumps up with an electric barrier around her to damage opponents. Her down special is the Bomb, in which she turns into the Morph Ball and drops a bomb. In addition, Samus uses the [[metroidwiki:Grapple Beam|Grapple Beam]] as her grab move, which gives her a ranged grab.

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]]''.

=====The Subspace Emissary=====

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

After escaping from the facility, Samus and Pikachu discover another Subspace Army base producing [[Subspace Bomb]]s. The two infiltrate it, and after fighting their way through, discover the [[Ancient Minister]] in a room filled with Subspace Bombs. The allies prepare to battle, but the Ancient Minister does not seem to want to fight them. [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Captain Olimar]] then break into the room, and all of them, including Samus, witness the Ancient Minister defy [[Ganondorf]]'s commands. As a result, the R.O.B. Squad fires upon him, burning off his robe and revealing that he is a R.O.B., as well.  It turns out that all of the R.O.B.s had beem forced to work with the Subspace Army, with the main R.O.B., the Master Robot, as their leader. The rest of the R.O.B.s activate all the Subspace Bombs in the room, forcing all of them to escape. As they rush to the exit aboard Captain Falcon's [[Falcon Flyer]], [[Ridley|Meta Ridley]] races after them. The group defeats the space dragon once more, and escapes just before R.O.B.s' island home is engulfed in Subspace.

Samus, along with all the other characters except for [[King Dedede]], [[Luigi]], and [[Ness]], is turned into a trophy by [[Tabuu]]. Her trophy is obtained by Dedede's team, and she subsequently joins everyone else in [[The Great Maze]], where they eventually defeat Tabuu.

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]].

====''Tetris''====

The results screen for the NES version of ''[[Tetris]]'' features Samus Aran as part of a band composed of herself, [[Donkey Kong]], [[Link]], [[Pit (character)|Pit]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Bowser]]. She is playing the cello. Samus in particular appears when the player has completed height 2 of Game B's ninth level.

Samus Aran is the theme of the 14th Miiverse Sketch Masterpiece Collection video, a promotional series of videos for ''[[Game & Wario]]'' in which the ''WarioWare'' cast comments on drawings made in the game's Miiverse Sketch mode. Samus' video is commented by [[9-Volt]].

====Unused appearances====

[[File:Beta_MLSS_Samus.png|frame]]

Samus was originally going to appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', where she tries a sample of Bean Juice at [[Starbeans Cafe]]. She, along with other Nintendo characters, was replaced by [[Professor E. Gadd]], whose role was expanded from his intended appearance in the game.<ref>[https://www.themushroomkingdom.net/m&lss_lost.shtml The Mushroom Kingdom] (Accessed on 9-16-08)</ref> She was also the only character besides Gadd to have the blend she was tasting explicitly stated in the cut dialogue ([[Hoolumbian]], in Samus's case).

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]]).

====''Mario Artist: Paint Studio''====

Artwork of Pikachu from [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Green Versions|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Green'' versions]] can be used as a stamp in ''[[Mario Artist: Paint Studio]]''.

Pikachu appears as a [[Costume Mario]] costume in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', obtainable by collecting a [[Mystery Mushroom]]. The Pikachu costume is unlocked after the player either scans a Pikachu [[amiibo]] or completes the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty or higher.

In most ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, Luigi is available as an unlockable character. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', he is available from the start.

==Ness==

[[File:Ness SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Ness in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

{{quote2|Okay!|Ness|Super Smash Bros.}}

'''[[wikibound:Ness|Ness]]''' is a young boy from [[Onett]] and the main protagonist of ''[[wikibound:EarthBound|EarthBound]]'' (''Mother 2: Gyiyg no Gyakushū'' in Japan). Starting off as a normal young boy, Ness ends up on a journey to save the world from [[wikibound:Giygas|Giygas]]'s alien army. He also develops psychic powers, known as [[wikibound:PSI|PSI]], during the course of the game. Ness is often pictured with a baseball bat, which is the first weapon acquired in ''EarthBound''. Throughout the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Ness was voiced by {{wp|Makiko Ohmoto}}, who also voices [[Kirby]]. Ness's name is an anagram of "SNES", the shorthand term for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], on which ''EarthBound'' was released (however, it is also like "NES" as in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]).

====''Super Smash Bros.''====

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Ness (SSB)}}

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 a [[wikibound:Yo-yo|yo-yo]] for his up and down smash attacks and a [[wikibound:Baseball bat|baseball bat]] for his side smash attack, both of which are equipment in ''EarthBound''. 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 with [[wikibound:Teleport|PSI Teleport]]. Ness shares many animations with [[Mario]] in ''Super Smash Bros.'', such as his hurt, item swinging, walking, both pratfalled and face-planted prone animations, etc. In fact, his [[Battlefield#Fighting Polygons|Fighting 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 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]]''.

=====Gallery=====

<gallery>

While Ness retains many key features from the original ''Super Smash Bros.'', ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' has seen drastic changes, where Ness has been given many tweaks. Many of his formerly physical moves now have Ness 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 to ''Super 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|PK Flash]], which is one of his original ''EarthBound'' 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. Additionallly, Psychic-Magnet is renamed PSI Magnet, a change that remains in later instalments. Ness still retains most of Mario's animations, such as his [[Parasol]] drifting animation, though he has been given a new item swing animation. As ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' has no unique stage entrance animations, Ness does not use his unique stage entrance in this game, though it returns in the next games.

[[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''.

Wario later travels in his [[Cargo]] with the princess trophy (the one that wasn't rescued at [[Midair Stadium]]) and the Ness trophy. After finding the [[Luigi]] 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 timed [[Badge]] 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 the [[Subspace Army]] again. Later, the Ness, King Dedede and Luigi trophies end up in [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]].

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]].

A [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] [[List of Yoshi designs in Yoshi's Woolly World|design]] based on Ness can be unlocked in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' when players scan a Ness [[amiibo]] in.

==Jigglypuff==

[[File:Jigglypuff SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Jigglypuff in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

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

=====Gallery=====

<gallery>

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''====

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

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.

=====Gallery=====

<gallery>

{{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.''
