==''Punch-Out!!''==
===Little Mac===
'''Little Mac''' is the protagonist of the {{wp|Punch-Out!!|''Punch-Out!!'' series}}. A boxer from {{wp|the Bronx}}, [[New York City]], Little Mac trains under Doc Louis in order to become the world champion of the World Video Boxing Association (WVBA). Little Mac has made several crossover appearances with [[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], and other characters from the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], some of which are via appearances in the ''Punch-Out!!'' series itself. [[Mario]]'s voice actor, [[Charles Martinet]], provided the voice of Little Mac in ''{{wp|Super Punch-Out!!}}''

====''Punch-Out!!'' series====
[[File:DK Punchout.png|thumb|Little Mac fighting [[Donkey Kong]] in the Wii version of ''Punch-Out!!'']]
The original protagonist of the arcade ''{{wp|Punch-Out!! (arcade game)|Punch-Out!!}}'' and ''{{wp|Super Punch-Out!! (arcade game)|Super Punch-Out!!}}'' titles fights several fighters for the world championship, and is depicted as a tall, green-haired man with a cleft chin who appears as a wireframe model during gameplay. The character "Little Mac" did not appear until ''{{wp|Punch-Out!! (NES)|Punch-Out!!}}'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] (also known as ''{{wp|Mike Tyson|Mike Tyson's}} Punch-Out!!''), which featured a younger and shorter protagonist mentored by his manager and trainer, Doc Louis. Mario cameos as the referee.

In ''{{wp|Super Punch-Out!!}}'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]], there was initially confusion over whether the protagonist of the game was Little Mac or an entirely different character, due to said protagonist featuring sandy blond hair, a pair of blue shorts, and lacking a tank top. Nintendo of America later clarified that the two are indeed the same character,<ref name=SuperMac>[https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/super-punch-out-wii-u/ Super Punch-Out!! for Wii U - Nintendo Game Details]</ref> with Little Mac having changed his appearance after splitting ways with Doc Louis.

After a 15-year hiatus, the ''Punch-Out!!'' series was rebooted with [[Punch-Out!! (Wii)|a titular installment]] for the [[Wii]]. After fighting through all of his opponents once again, Mac gets tired of his fame and decides to go out in a blaze of glory. Dubbed "Mac's Last Stand", his condition for retiring and thus vacating the world championship is losing three times. In this game, [[Donkey Kong]] appears as a secret opponent, and his record is displayed as 0-0 (0 wins, 0 losses). In the latest title so far, ''{{wp|Punch-Out!! (Wii)#Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!|Doc Louis's Punch-Out}}'', he spars with Doc.

====''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''====
Pit makes a cameo in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', early in the film when Mario is in Brooklyn playing ''Kid Icarus'' on his NES. The ''Kid Icarus'' cartridge, featuring Pit, also appears in the credits.

She serves as the damsel in distress in the original games, but takes on a more proactive role in [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'', providing protagonist [[Pit (character)|Pit]] with guidance and powers from afar. In contrast to her serene, elegant appearance, Palutena has a playful "trickster" personality that she uses to tease Pit and other characters on occasion.

====''Super Mario Maker''====
[[File:SMM Palutena.png|frame|left]]
Palutena appears in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' as a costume available for [[Costume Mario]]. Her sprite is based upon her appearance in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', rather than the one seen in the original ''Kid Icarus''.

Pressing {{button|wiiu|Padup}} causes her to stand facing the player.

===Dark Pit===
'''Dark Pit''' (sometimes called '''Pittoo''' by [[Pit (character)|Pit]] and [[#Palutena|Palutena]]) is an imperfect, opposite clone of Pit created after the destruction of the [[icaruspedia:Mirror of Truth|Mirror of Truth]], in the events of ''[[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus: Uprising]]''. He serves as an anti-hero, being somewhat of a rival to Pit. Compared to Pit's, his personality is more serious and aggressive, rejecting the idea of being a servant to anyone. His appearance is identical to Pit's, except with the dark coloring to his clothing, wings and hair. His character was most likely based off the "fallen angel" coloration of Pit in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as both ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' were made by [[Sora Ltd.]]

====''Super Mario Maker''====
[[File:SMM Dark Pit.png|frame]]
Dark Pit can be unlocked as a [[Costume Mario]] costume in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. His sprite is identical to Pit's sprite, but using Dark Pit's colors.

==''Metal Gear Solid''==
===Snake===
'''Solid Snake''' (whose real name is '''David''')  is the main character of [[Konami]]'s ''{{wp|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. Snake has appeared in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|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 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.<ref>[http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=2576 [E3<nowiki>]</nowiki> Interview: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Miyamoto, Sakurai]. N-Sider (May 11, 2006). Retrieved January 1, 2016.</ref> 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. Although he is identified as Solid Snake, his actual appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is technically a mixture between Solid Snake himself and his "father", Big Boss, or more accurately his Naked Snake self from ''Snake Eater''. He is one of only three characters in the series to come from an M-rated franchise, with the others being [[Bayonetta]] and [[Joker]].

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 at 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.

Additionally, Snake has access to a unique series of taunts, which spawns in a cardboard box that Snake retreats into. When Snake exits the box at the end of the taunt, it can hit an opponent for a small amount of damage (1%~2%.) The cardboard box is an iconic trademark of the ''Metal Gear'' series, appearing in most games as a way to sneak by enemies.

==''Street Fighter''==
===Ryu===
'''{{fandom|streetfighter|Ryu}}''' is one of the central characters of [[Capcom]]'s ''{{wp|Street Fighter}}'' series, appearing in every game in the series since the first. He is a practitioner of a unique martial art known as Ansatsuken. He appears as a downloadable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', making him the first downloadable character to be both a newcomer and a third-party character. Players who purchase him off the Nintendo eShop also get his ''{{wp|Street Fighter II}}'' stage, [[Suzaku Castle]]. He is voiced by his voice actors for all versions of ''{{wp|Street Fighter IV}}'' and ''{{wp|Street Fighter V}}'': [[Kyle Hebert]] in English, and Hiroki Takahashi in Japanese.

Despite being ''Street Fighter''{{'}}s main character, Ryu does not appear in the [[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]] magazine comic [[Super Mario Klemp-Won-Do: Muskeln sind nicht alles!]], while many other ''Street Fighter'' characters like Ken, [[Chun-Li]], [[Blanka]], [[Zangief]], [[Dhalsim]], and E. Honda do.

===Ken===
'''Ken Masters''' is one of the central characters of [[Capcom]]'s ''{{wp|Street Fighter}}'' series. He is the best friend and rival to [[Ryu]] and uses improved Shoryuken ki techniques to fight. He has made crossover appearances in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series.

====Appearances in other ''Super Mario''-related media====
The German [[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]] magazine published a 1992 comic titled [[Super Mario Klemp-Won-Do: Muskeln sind nicht alles!]], which features various characters from the ''Street Fighter'' series. Among the characters [[Mario]] meets in the comic are {{fandom|streetfighter|E. Honda}}, [[Dhalsim]], [[Chun-Li]], [[Blanka]], and Ken.

He crosses over with the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' cast]] and other Nintendo characters as a newcomer and downloadable character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', confirmed during the November 2015 Nintendo Direct,<ref name="Nintendo Direct">Nintendo (November 12, 2015).

Cloud was the first third-party character in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series whose debut title was never released on a [[Nintendo]] console (though ''Final Fantasy VII'' has since released on the Nintendo Switch). Early concepts for ''Final Fantasy VII'', however, were created with the intention of developing a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] title before production was delayed in favor of other projects and later restarted for {{wp|Sony}}'s {{wp|PlayStation (console)|PlayStation}} console.<ref>https://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/11/final-fantasy-7-beta/</ref>

===Sephiroth===
'''Sephiroth''' is the main antagonist from [[Square Enix]]'s ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VII}}''. He is a former renowned member of an elite fighting force called SOLDIER, who became a renegade and went on a murderous rampage after discovering the circumstances of his existence. Sephiroth would then go on to become a world-ending threat for [[Cloud Strife]] and his allies to stop. He appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a downloadable character. Despite having almost all of his home series appearances dubbed in English, and a few earlier appearances dubbed in additional languages, Sephiroth, like his rival Cloud, speaks only Japanese in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', similar to Marth and Roy prior to the game; he is voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa, his Japanese voice actor from ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'' onward.

==''EarthBound''==
===Ness===
'''[[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]]).

====''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''====
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.

====''Super Mario Maker''====
[[File:NessSMM.png|frame]]
Ness makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' as an unlockable amiibo costume for [[Costume Mario]]. Mario's 8-bit sprite takes the appearance of Ness, and his sound effects change to ones from ''EarthBound'': when acquired, the PSI healing sound effect plays. Clearing the stage plays the boss victory theme. When falling into a pit, the sound effect of Ness's party being defeated from that game plays, and pressing {{button|wii|Padup}} on the controller makes the jingle for learning a new technique play. The costume is unlocked either randomly upon completion of 100 Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty or higher, or by scanning a Ness [[amiibo]].

===Jigglypuff===
'''[[bulbapedia:Jigglypuff (Pokémon)|Jigglypuff]]''' is a [[bulbapedia:Normal (type)|Normal]]/[[bulbapedia:Fairy (type)|Fairy]]-type [[bulbapedia:Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] (a pure Normal-type Pokémon prior to the Fairy type's introduction in [[bulbapedia:Generation VI|Generation VI]]) from the ''Pokémon'' series. Its first appearance was in the Japanese [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Green Versions|''Pokémon Red'' and ''Pokémon Green'']], which later became the international [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|''Pokémon Red Version'' and ''Pokémon Blue Version'']]. Classified as the Balloon Pokémon, Jigglypuff evolves from [[bulbapedia:Igglybuff (Pokémon)|Igglybuff]] and into [[bulbapedia:Wigglytuff (Pokémon)|Wigglytuff]].

===Mewtwo===
'''[[bulbapedia:Mewtwo (Pokémon)|Mewtwo]]''' is a [[bulbapedia:Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] [[bulbapedia:Psychic (type)|Psychic]]-type [[bulbapedia:Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] debuting in the first ''Pokémon'' games, [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Red and Green Versions|''Pokémon Red Version'' and ''Pokémon Green Version'']]. Mewtwo was created artificially based on the genetic code of [[bulbapedia:Mew (Pokémon)|Mew]] to be the ultimate battling Pokémon, though it grew too vicious and powerful to be controlled and escaped. Among all the Pokémon that exist, Mewtwo has the most violent nature. As of [[bulbapedia:Pokémon X and Y|''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y'']], Mewtwo can [[bulbapedia:Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. 

Mewtwo makes a playable appearance as an unlockable fighter in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', and as a downloadable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', later appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an unlockable fighter like in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Its appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is primarily based on the [[bulbapedia:Mewtwo (original series)|Mewtwo]] from [[bulbapedia:M01|the first ''Pokémon'' anime movie]], who was initially cruel, condescending, and fierce before reforming its ways, yet also questions its existence and purpose. Mewtwo is thus far the only Legendary Pokémon to be playable in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Its depiction as a lightweight fighter in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is likely due to its floaty attributes and its tendency to float while moving, which are both mentioned in its trophy descriptions. Its lightweight status may also be a reference to the ''Pokémon'' games, where its defenses are on the low side when compared to most other Pokémon who share its base stat total.

Mewtwo never speaks when the language is set to English in the NTSC version of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', at all in the PAL version of the game, in Western versions of ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', and when the game is set to any language other than Japanese or Chinese in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''; it makes only grunts, laughs, and other noises. However, it does speak telepathically on the results screen when the language is set to Japanese (as well as Chinese in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'').

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

====''Super Mario Maker''====
[[File:SMM Mewtwo.png|left|frame]]
Mewtwo is one of the [[Costume Mario]] costumes that can be unlocked in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', either with a Mewtwo [[amiibo]] or as a random unlock by completing the 100 Mario Challenge. Mewtwo's sprite is based on its overworld sprite from the [[Nintendo DS]] ''Pokémon'' games, though like the other Pokémon costumes in the game (excluding the Event Course costumes), Mewtwo does not have any unique sound effects, instead using the default ''Super Mario Bros.'' sounds.

===Pichu===
'''[[bulbapedia:Pichu (Pokémon)|Pichu]]''' is an [[Bulbapedia:Electric (type)|Electric]]-type [[bulbapedia:Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] introduced in the games [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|''Pokémon Gold'' and ''Pokémon Silver'']]. It is the [[bulbapedia:evolution|pre-evolved]] form of [[Pikachu]], the ''Pokémon'' mascot. It appears as a playable fighter in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' and as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', as well as being mentioned in the Palutena's Guidance conversation regarding Pikachu in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

==''Persona''==
===Joker===
'''Joker''' (whose real name is given as '''Ren Amamiya''' in the games and anime, although the player can edit it freely in the former, and as '''Akira Kurusu''' in the manga) is the protagonist of ''{{wp|Persona 5}}'', a {{wp|PlayStation 3}} and {{wp|PlayStation 4}} title from the ''{{wp|Megami Tensei}}'' franchise's spin-off ''{{wp|Persona (series)|Persona}}'' series.
