Meta Knight

“Victory is my destiny.”
Meta Knight, Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Meta Knight is a recurring anti-hero character in the Kirby series, making his debut in Kirby's Adventure. He always wears his metal mask in his series, and usually appears as a rival or a boss Kirby must fight, but on occasions has had to team up with him. He is one of the captains of the Halberd ship. In certain games, after Meta Knight is defeated, his mask splits into two, revealing a face near identical to Kirby's; the main difference being his blue skin tone. He has made crossover appearances with the Mario franchise, mostly in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Pit, also known as Kid Icarus on occasion, is a young angel who is the main protagonist of the Kid Icarus series, and the captain of Palutena's army. His most notable appearance alongside Mario franchise characters, however, is in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Zero Suit Samus

This article is about Samus without her Power Suit. For Samus in her Power Suit, see Samus Aran.

“Is that all?”
Zero Suit Samus, Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Zero Suit Samus is an alternate form of Samus Aran without her Power Suit. In this form, Samus's main weapon is the Paralyzer, a small pistol-like weapon that is only capable of stunning enemies. Although Samus has appeared without her armor in previous Metroid games in a small capacity, the first appearance of Samus in her recurring "Zero Suit" was in Metroid: Zero Mission, which consolidated Samus's appearance and abilities outside the Power Suit. While Zero Suit Samus appears in that game as a very vulnerable and more stealth-based form, the Super Smash Bros. series enhances her abilities by giving her an extensive, speedy hand-to-hand moveset similar to Sheik, with a strong focus on aerial combat, as well as additional weaponry in the form of a "Plasma Whip" mode for her Paralyzer and, in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, rocket-powered "Jet Boots" that resemble high-heeled stilettos.

Snake

It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: provide information on the cardboard box

Template:Quote2 Solid Snake (real name David) is the main character of Konami's Metal Gear series of games. He is one of the results of the "Les Enfants Terribles" project, a government project to create clones of the renowned soldier "Big Boss", and is constantly given the mission of deprogramming the various versions of the bipedal nuclear-armed tank called Metal Gear. Solid Snake has appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series, debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and returning in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. According to Masahiro Sakurai, Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima originally asked him to include Solid Snake in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but as the game was too far into development at that point, he could not be included and was instead added into the next game.[3] Like in the Metal Gear series at the time of release, Snake is voiced by Akio Ohtsuka in the Japanese version, and by David Hayter in the English version.

Snake fights using a combination of explosives and hand-to-hand combat. Snake's special moves are Hand Grenade, an explosive that can be thrown various distances, Remote Controlled Missile, a guided missile that rockets wherever it is aimed, Cypher, a flying security drone that flies Snake up, and C4, a sticky explosive that can be mounted on various surfaces. Snake can also deal a small amount of damage with his taunts, which involve him hiding in and coming out his cardboard box, which can also be thrown like an item to deal 1-2% of damage.

Ike

This article is about the character from Fire Emblem. For the dog in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, see Ike (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!).

Ike's Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Template:Quote2

Ike is the protagonist in two games of the Fire Emblem series, debuting in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, the series' ninth installment. In his home series, Ike is the leader of the Greil Mercenaries, who are drawn into two wars spanning the continent of Tellius. With the help of his companions, Ike acquires the sacred sword Ragnell and brings peace to Tellius, ending hostilities between its inhabitant beorc and laguz races in the process.

He appears as a playable fighter in the Nintendo-crossover fighting game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and returned for its successors, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Ike is the third Fire Emblem character to appear in the Super Smash Bros. series, after Marth and Roy. Ike is a very powerful fighter - one of the strongest, but as a downside, he is quite heavy and slow.

Pokémon Trainer

This article is about the character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses of "Trainer", see Trainer.

Pokémon Trainer, Super Smash Bros. Brawl

A Pokémon Trainer is a human that catches, trains, cares for, and battles alongside Pokémon. The player character in the Pokémon series is fittingly a Pokémon Trainer, as are most humans in the series.

Red, the player character of the Pokémon series' first generation and male player character of Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version, makes a playable appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a default fighter and (alongside his female counterpart Leaf) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an unlockable fighter. However, Red and Leaf are referred to simply as "Pokémon Trainer", and differ from other fighters by issuing commands to three Pokémon (Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard) to fight on their behalf.

Squirtle

Template:Quote2 Squirtle is a Water-type Pokémon and one of the three starting Pokémon in Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Green Version, later localized as Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version. Its name is a portmanteau of "squirt" and "turtle." In the Pokémon series, it evolves into Wartortle and later into Blastoise.

Ivysaur

Template:Quote2 Ivysaur is a Grass/Poison-type Pokémon from the Pokémon series, appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character. In the Pokémon series, it is the evolutionary form of Bulbasaur and evolves into Venusaur.

Charizard

This article is about the fire Pokémon featured in the Super Smash Bros. series, who is known as Lizardon in Japan. For the boss from Wario's Woods, see Lizardon.
Charizard from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Template:Quote2 Charizard is a Fire/Flying-type Pokémon resembling a winged European dragon. In the Pokémon series, it evolves from Charmeleon, which evolves from Charmander, and is one of the three fully-evolved starter Pokémon of the Kanto region. As of Generation VI, Charizard is also capable of Mega Evolving into Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y, the former of which appears as its Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Charizard appears in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee as a Poké Ball Pokémon, and in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character. When playable, its fighting style is similar to Bowser's, as a slow, powerful, heavy reptile with some fast movement options and the ability to breathe fire.

Template:Quote2 Lucas is the protagonist of the Japan-only game Mother 3 from the EarthBound (Mother) series. In this game, he lived with his twin brother Claus and his parents Hinawa and Flint, in Tazmily Village located in the Nowhere Islands. However, tragedy soon strikes his family, as his mother is killed and his brother is lost, both of which set in motion Lucas' adventure to contend with the Pig Mask Army and its leader Porky.

King Dedede

Template:Quote2 King Dedede is a large penguin-like creature,[8] the self-proclaimed king of Dream Land, and the rival of Kirby in the Kirby series. In his home series, he has acted as both an ally and enemy to Kirby.

Olimar

Captain Olimar from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Captain Olimar in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Template:Quote2 Captain Olimar (or simply Olimar) is the main protagonist of the Pikmin franchise, created by Shigeru Miyamoto. Olimar is actually named after Mario himself (Olimar is an anagram of Mario, with an L added; his Japanese name, Orimā, (オリマー) which was romanized as Olimar, is a near perfect anagram of "Mario"). He has crossed over with the Mario franchise primarily through the Super Smash Bros. series, but also through Nintendo Land as well, where Pikmin gets its own attraction, titled "Pikmin Adventure." Most of his other appearances involve cameos via amiibo.

Olimar had to be scaled up drastically, even more so than Kirby, for his appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series, as according to the Pikmin game manual, he is only about an inch tall. Olimar does not have any voice effects (unless players count his whistles as a voice effect) in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, making him the only playable character in the game without a star KO sound effect (although he would later share this trait with other characters in future installments). However, in Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3, and Super Mario Maker, he is voiced by Kazumi Totaka.

In Super Smash Bros. games beginning with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS onward, Alph, one of the protagonists of Pikmin 3, appears as an alternate costume of Olimar. His attacks and statistics are identical to Olimar's with any and all changes merely being cosmetic. As with other alternative costumes, the games do not acknowledge him as a separate character from Olimar in battle records and miscellaneous aspects, such as Classic Mode. The exception to this is the announcer, crowd, and character selection, all of which say and/or display his own name. He shares this trait with the Koopalings (the alternate costumes of Bowser Jr.) who are also named, but not acknowledged as separate characters.

Lucario

Lucario is a Fighting/Steel-type Pokémon from the Pokémon series. It originates from the fourth Generation Pokémon games: Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl, and Pokémon Platinum Versions, is the evolved form of Riolu, and as of Generation VI can Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario.

Toon Link

"Wind Waker" redirects here. For the microgame in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, see The Wind Waker.
Toon Link from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Toon Link in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Template:Quote2 Toon Link is the incarnation of Link whose cartoony design first appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords. This version of Link is prominently featured in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, in which he goes on a quest to rescue his kidnapped sister, Aryll, and later becomes known as the "Hero of Winds" for his courageous efforts against the returning Ganondorf. In The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, the same Link is transported to a parallel world, where he seeks to rescue his companion Tetra from the curse inflicted upon her by the squid-like monster Bellum and return home with her.

While the cel-shaded art style typically associated with the "Toon" term was established during the development cycle of The Wind Waker,[17] the first usage of the term itself occurred in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to denote the Hero of Winds from The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass. However, the "Toon" term itself can nevertheless be used to describe the same art style; for instance, Toon Link's trophies from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U list The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks as an appearance, despite technically being a separate Link.

Toon Link appears as a playable fighter in the Super Smash Bros. series starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and is treated as a separate character from Link and Young Link.

Wolf

Wolf O'Donnell, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Wolf O'Donnell is the longtime rival of Fox McCloud, who appears in the Star Fox series of games, making his debut in Star Fox 64. He is the leader of the Star Wolf wing, a rival team to Fox's Star Fox team. Wolf later appears as an unlockable playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. After a ten-year playable absence in the Super Smash Bros. series, he reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
