Popo makes a number of appearances in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series in [[microgame]]s based on ''Ice Climber''. The player controls Popo in the [[Ice Climber (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)|Ice Climber]] microgame in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' and ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', the [[Ice Climber (WarioWare: Twisted!)|Ice Climber]] microgame in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', and the [[Ice Climbers (microgame)|Ice Climbers]] microgame in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', Popo appears as the sprite in the third level of [[8-Bit Hero]]. In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', he makes a cameo in the [[Ice Climber (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Ice Climber]] microgame, where he is seen hanging onto the condor.

{{quote2|Moratta. (I got this.)|Sheik|[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] (Japanese version)}}

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">

In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Zelda is able to use her down special move Transform to turn herself into Sheik at any point, or automatically at the start of a match by holding down {{button|gcn|A}} on the stage select screen, giving her a completely different moveset and playstyle. Compared to Zelda, Sheik is more agile, with quick movements and attacks, but she lacks Zelda's power. The lone exception is her up smash, which has a sweetspot that can hit twice for about 30%. Sheik is voiced by Jun Mizusawa (up until ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''), who also did the voice of her counterpart, Zelda. Sheik (along with [[#Ganondorf|Ganondorf]] and [[#Roy|Roy]]) does not appear as an opponent in the game's Classic Mode, though she can appear as an ally in Team and Giant battles. As a result, her introduction image for Classic Mode goes unused. However, Sheik can be fought if the opponent is Zelda and transforms into Sheik.

According to the [[Star Rod (Kirby)|Star Rod]]'s trophy information, it has most power when Sheik or [[Captain Falcon]] perform a smash attack with it.

Sheik returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', with the same role as before. Matching with Zelda's design, Sheik's design in this game is based on ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''. In this game, Sheik can now be chosen from the character select screen, by choosing Zelda and selecting Sheik's portrait.  

Sheik can now [[Wall Jump|wall jump]] and crawl; additionally, her Chain move can be used as a [[smashwiki:tether recovery|tether recovery]]. In addition, she shares her [[Final Smash]] with Zelda, Light Arrow, though Sheik's Light Arrow deals greater damage and knocks back at a more horizontal angle than Zelda's.

At any point in The Subspace Emissary at which the player can control Zelda, they can transform into Sheik using the Transform move, and vice versa. However, Sheik is not properly introduced until later in the story.

If Zelda is not rescued, [[Wario]] appears and uses a [[Dark Cannon]] to transform her into a trophy and runs off with her. She is later seen on Wario's [[Cargo]] alongside [[Ness]], who was also turned into a trophy by Wario shooting a Dark Cannon. However, [[King Dedede]] distracts Wario by turning [[Luigi]] into a trophy and using him to lure Wario off the Cargo. Dedede steals the Cargo, takes back Luigi, and drives off. [[Link]] later spots Zelda on the Cargo before Dedede takes Mario and [[Pit (character)|Pit]], who were defeated by Link and [[Yoshi]] just prior. Although he loses both his newly acquired trophies to Kirby, and the engine of the Cargo is then wrecked by Pit, Dedede manages to get away with the remaining trophies he does have and makes it to his castle, where he pins badges on Luigi, Ness, and Zelda to revive them later. Unfortunately, [[Bowser]] arrives, steals Zelda and brings her to the Halberd, having a short scuffle with Mario's team along the way (and causing Zelda to lose her badge to Kirby).

[[False Zelda]] takes out a Dark Cannon and tries to shoot Link and Yoshi, however is stopped by Pit and Mario. False Zelda and the two fight however she is soon defeated and turned into a trophy, which soon dissolves. However, Link saw this and thinks that Mario is a member of the [[Subspace Army]] and that he killed Zelda, so he tries to turn Mario and Pit into a trophy with Yoshi's help. They are both defeated, however, and taken by King Dedede before Kirby's intervention, after which Link attacks the Cargo's engine.

Zelda benefits from the game's universal changes: her mobility is considerably faster, no longer being one of the slowest characters in the game; her short hop timing is reduced; her attacks have less landing lag; she can directionally air dodge once again; and she can use any grounded attack out of a run and any aerial attack while climbing ladders. In addition, Zelda's special attacks receive many improvements while her attacks deal either more damage or knockback, and have lower start-up or ending lag. Din’s Fire no longer leaves Zelda helpless when in midair.

Zelda was originally voiced by Jun Mizusawa in her first three ''Super Smash Bros.'' appearances, matching her appearances in both ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' and ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', but was replaced for the first time in series by {{wp|Ayumi Fujimura}} in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', who previously voiced her in ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds'', applying a similar situation to what Link and Ganondorf received in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

==Falco==

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

<div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"data-expandtext="Show history"data-collapsetext="Hide history">

Falco is a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He is, however, unlockable, and is unlocked by beating 100-Man Melee or by playing 300 Melee matches, and then beating Falco on [[Battlefield]]. While his voice clips are mostly provided by Hisao Egawa, Ben Cullum voices Falco during the Adventure Mode Stage 6 cutscene or the Corneria Smash Taunt, and would later provide Falco's voice for ''Star Fox Adventures''.

Falco also appears in Stage 6 of Adventure Mode. In this, he, [[List of Smash Taunt characters#Slippy Toad|Slippy]], and [[List of Smash Taunt characters#Peppy Hare|Peppy]] will appear in their Arwings in the second half of the battle to shoot at both the player and Fox. Additionally, if Falco is unlocked, he will sometimes replace Fox in the second battle, forcing Fox into the Arwing.

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

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

After this, he wasn't seen again until the battle at the [[Battleship Halberd Bridge]], where he joins Fox, [[Princess Peach|Peach]], [[#Zelda|Zelda]], [[Lucario]], and [[Solid Snake]] in defeating [[Duon]]. Once all of the teams unite, they enter [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]], where they are defeated by [[List of Super Smash Bros. series bosses#Tabuu|Tabuu]], with Falco being among the victims. [[King Dedede]], however, comes to his aid with the help of [[Luigi]] and [[Ness]], who were revived by Dedede's badges and are helping him revive most of the others. The newly revived Falco then heads with the others to stop Tabuu at [[the Great Maze]] once and for all.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Marth (SSBM)}}

Marth is a fast character with average power and below-average weight. However, all of his attacks are stronger when hitting opponents closer to the tip of his sword. His standard special is Shield Breaker, a slash that can be charged to be more powerful that can also instantly break an opponent's shield when charged fully. His side special is Dancing Blade, a series of sword slashes that can be altered depending on the direction inputted on the control stick. His up special is Dolphin Slash, an upward slash that has Marth leaping into the air, damaging nearby opponents. Finally, his down special is Counter, in which Marth delivers a counterattack when hit, reflecting all damage and knockback back onto the opponent.

[[File:Marth.png|frame|left]]

Marth appears as a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', as one of the Mystery Suits that are part of [[Costume Mario]]. He can be unlocked via [[amiibo]], or as a randomly unlocked costume by clearing 100 Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty or higher. Marth's sprite in this game uses the basic structure of the Small Mario sprite while designed after his ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Wii U'' appearance and uses sound effects taken from the original ''Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light''.

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

Young Link benefits from universal changes: his overall mobility is faster, his short hop timing is reduced, his aerials have less landing lag, and he can use ground attack out of a run and use his aerials on ladders. Young Link's recovery is better, since his [[Double Jump (airborne)|double jump]] grants more height, while directionally air dodging does not leave him helpless anymore. However, Young Link's air and falling speeds are decreased, unlike fellow veterans; additionally, some of his moves deal less damage and knockback, or more startup and ending lag.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Ganondorf appeared as an unlockable playable character, unlocked by either clearing Event Match 29: Triforce Gathering or by playing 600 Melee matches, and then defeating him in a one-on-one stock match. Like Link and Zelda, Ganondorf's appearance is based on his design from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', though he uses his "past" design instead of his "future" design. Ganondorf was not initially planned to appear in the game, but was later included since his body build was similar to that of Captain Falcon's. Like fellow secret characters [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros.#Jigglypuff|Jigglypuff]] and [[#Pichu|Pichu]], Ganondorf makes a cameo appearance in the title's introduction. His hand can be seen, along with Link's and Zelda's, one of the three Triforce pieces glowing on each of their hands.

Ganondorf (along with [[#Roy|Roy]] and [[#Sheik|Sheik]]) does not appear as an opponent in the game's Classic Mode, though he can appear as an ally in Team and Giant battles. As a result, his introduction image for Classic Mode goes unused.

In The Subspace Emissary's storyline, Ganondorf is the true commander of the [[Subspace Army]], though [[Bowser]] believes he is. He is working for [[List of Super Smash Bros. series bosses#Master Hand|Master Hand]] to bring the world into Subspace, though he plots to betray him and seize his power. He gathers several other villains such as [[Wario]], [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Ridley|Ridley]], and [[List of Super Smash Bros. series bosses#Porky|Porky]]. Bowser acts as his second in command, while Ganondorf works behind the scenes. Wario, however, chooses to act independently (until he was turned into a trophy and sucked into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]]). When many of the heroes infiltrate [[List of The Subspace Emissary stages#The Subspace Bomb Factory|the Subspace Bomb Factory]] on the [[List of The Subspace Emissary stages#Island of the Ancients|Isle of Ancients]], he reveals himself to them and commands the [[Subspace Army|R.O.B.]]s to set off multiple [[List of Super Smash Bros. series objects#Subspace Bomb|Subspace Bomb]]s. He even commands them to attack the [[R.O.B.#Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Ancient Minister]], who then reveals himself to be the leader of the R.O.B.s and assists the fighters. The island is absorbed into Subspace, shortly after the heroes escape. Ganondorf emerges from Subspace with Bowser on a massive [[List of Super Smash Bros. series items#Subspace Gunship|Subspace Gunship]] and fires at the [[Halberd|Battleship Halberd]], destroying it.

Afterward, the two travel to Master Hand. However, Ganondorf then betrays Bowser, using the only remaining [[List of Super Smash Bros. series objects#Dark Cannon|Dark Cannon]] to reduce him to a trophy. Master Hand himself is seen to be controlled by [[List of Super Smash Bros. series bosses#Tabuu|Tabuu]], the embodiment of Subspace. Ganondorf, surprised at this revelation, leaps to attack him, only to be turned into a trophy himself. When Bowser is revived by [[King Dedede]], he furiously attacks Ganondorf's trophy in vengeance. [[Link]] and [[#Zelda|Zelda]] come across the trophy and revive him, forming a temporary alliance as all the characters prepare for the final battle against Tabuu. He initially considers using Warlock Punch on them when their backs were turned, but ultimately decides to refrain from doing so. After every fighter is returned to normal, all of them, including Ganondorf, battle Tabuu, eventually defeating him. After Tabuu is destroyed, the world is returned from subspace.

Ganondorf benefits from universal changes: his mobility is faster, his short hop timing is reduced, his aerials have less landing lag, his recovery is extended by the reintroduction of directional air dodging, and he has the abilities to use any ground attack out of a run and use any of his aerial attacks on ladders. Ganondorf also receives direct buffs: his [[Double Jump (airborne)|double jump]] grants more height, many of his attacks deal more damage and knockback, and some of his moves are also faster.

Aside from this, he also appears in the beginning of [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Kazuya|Kazuya]]'s debut trailer where he is carried by the titular character upon defeating him and being tossed over a cliff into a lava flow.

Since his initial appearances, he has made subsequent minor appearances in other ''Fire Emblem'' games and returned as a downloadable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and as an unlockable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

*In English (which is also used in Japanese, Korean, and, for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Chinese) and German, ''Fire Emblem'' Roy's name is spoken in a more energetic tone, similar to the announcer in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', while Roy Koopa's name is spoken in a deeper tone.

*In French and Dutch (in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''), the announcer calls ''Fire Emblem'' Roy with a slightly higher-pitched voice than Roy Koopa; conversely, in Spanish, he calls Roy Koopa with a slightly higher-pitched voice instead.

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

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

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