'''Intelligent Systems''' ({{ja|株式会社インテリジェントシステムズ|Kabushikigaisha Interijento Shisutemuzu}}, ''Intelligent Systems Ltd.'') is a Japanese game developer. They played a part in the development of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Similar to [[HAL Laboratory]], they are a second-party developer for [[Nintendo]] and primarily create games for Nintendo's consoles.

Originally founded as an auxiliary programming team to support many of Nintendo's in-house games, Intelligent Systems would go on to develop a number of their own games and series that would come to be represented in ''Smash'' over their long history. They are the primary developers of such series as {{uv|Fire Emblem}}, ''[[Mario (universe)#Paper Mario series|Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Wario (universe)|WarioWare]]'', {{uv|Nintendo Wars}}, {{uv|Panel de Pon}}, {{uvm|Pushmo}}, {{uv|Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru}} (''The Frog For Whom the Bell Tolls''), {{uvm|Cubivore}}, and {{uvm|Soccer}}. Intelligent Systems also developed ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart: Super Circuit}}'' in the ''Mario Kart'' series, and co-developed ''{{b|Metroid|game}}'' and ''[[Super Metroid]]''. Outside of Nintendo products, they have also developed titles in the {{uv|Dragon Quest}} series, including the ''Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Collection'' and ''{{s|wikipedia|Dragon Quest Wars}}'' but both were exclusive to Nintendo consoles.

Aside from developing games, they continue to serve their original role in supporting Nintendo with certain projects, such as programming many of Nintendo's in-house development tools for both hardware and software and building the 3D camera into the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
In its worldwide debut as a franchise, {{uv|Fire Emblem}} receives major representation with two playable characters: {{SSBM|Marth}}, the protagonist of the first game in the series, and {{SSBM|Roy}}, a clone of Marth and the protagonist of the then-upcoming sixth game in the series. ''Melee'' is often cited as a major reason as to why ''Fire Emblem'' games from the seventh game onwards were brought overseas. ''Melee'' additionally received a medley of the tracks "Story 5: Meeting" and the main ''Fire Emblem'' theme, both from ''Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', simply dubbed {{MeleeMusic|Fire Emblem}}. A [[AKANEIA|stage]] was also planned for the game, but did not make it in.

Outside of the ''Fire Emblem'' series, ''Cubivore'' saw representation in a trophy for a character named [[Alpha]], though no such character exists within ''Cubivore'' itself. Several ''Panel de Pon'' references appears in this game such as the Garbage Block in {{SSBM|Kirby}}'s [[Stone]] move and [[Lip's Stick]] as an item both based off [[Lip]], the protagonist of the first ''Panel de Pon'' game. The shop manager of the series' card shop, Maruo Maruhige from ''Card Hero'' appears as a trophy. Paper Mario from the eponymous game appears as a trophy.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
As a result of its increased popularity as a franchise, ''Fire Emblem'' gained a large boost in representation in ''Brawl''. {{SSBB|Marth}} made a return as a playable character, this time joined by {{SSBB|Ike}}, the protagonist of ''Path of Radiance'' and ''Radiant Dawn''. A stage based around several aspects of the series, dubbed "[[Castle Siege]]", also appeared in ''Brawl'', with numerous musical tracks from the ''Fire Emblem'' series. [[Lyn]], the protagonist of the seventh entry in the series, also debuted as an [[Assist Trophy]]. Several other ''Fire Emblem'' characters appear as trophies.

The ''WarioWare'' series is represented with {{SSBB|Wario}} as a playable character, with his default outfit being his biker attire from the ''WarioWare'' series, and his more classic overalls appearing as an alternate costume. A stage based around the microgames from the series, simply called [[WarioWare, Inc.]], appears as well, with multiple tracks from the games. [[Kat & Ana]] appear as an Assist Trophy as well. 

The [[Infantry and Tanks]] from ''Advance Wars'' appear as an Assist Trophy, in the 8-bit style of their origin game. Max, Sami, and Andy from ''Advance Wars'' appear as stickers, as well as Jake, Hawke, and Rachel from ''Advance Wars: Dual Strike''.

Several references to Lip and the ''Panel de Pon'' series reprises their respective role in this game such as the Garbage Block in {{SSBB|Kirby}}'s [[Stone]] move and the [[Lip's Stick]] as an item both based off [[Lip]], in addition to an unlockable remix of her theme for the [[Pictochat]] stage. In addition to stickers for Furil, Pure, Sala, and Cecil from ''Nintendo Puzzle Collection'', along with one of the titular Panels. (However, in localized versions of the game, these fairies are incorrectly named as Lip, Ruby, Elias, and Seren; these are the names of their respective counterparts from the Super Famicom version of ''Panel de Pon''.)

[[Soccer Ball]] from ''Soccer'' also appears as an item. ''Soccer''{{'}}s theme also appears in a {{SSBBMusicLink|Nintendo|Famicom Medley}} on the [[Mario Bros.]] stage. Yakuman Player on the cover of the Game Boy version, Hiroshi from ''Trade & Battle: Card Hero'', as well as Tameo and a Master card all appear as stickers.

Trophies of various ''Paper Mario'' characters appear, this time based on their designs from ''Super Paper Mario''. Those characters, along with others and some items, also appear as stickers.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
''Fire Emblem'' gains more representation yet again, as {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Ike}} are now joined by {{SSB4|Robin}}, the avatar character from ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Awakening}}'', {{SSB4|Lucina}}, a clone of Marth and a major character in ''Awakening'', and {{SSB4|Corrin}}, the avatar character and protagonist of ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Fates}}''. {{SSB4|Roy}} also makes a return to the series as DLC. Lyn reprises her role as an Assist Trophy. A stage based on [[Arena Ferox]], an iconic location in ''Awakening'', appears in the 3DS version, while a stage based on various [[coliseum]]s from the franchise appears in the Wii U version. A [[Mii Fighter (SSB4)|Mii costume]] of the [[Black Knight]], Ike's rival, was also made as DLC.

''WarioWare'' also gains new content, with a stage based on the [[Gamer]] minigame from ''Game & Wario'' appearing in the Wii U version, and [[Ashley]] debuting as an Assist Trophy. WarioWare, Inc. returns as a stage in the 3DS version. Kat & Ana reprise their roles as an Assist Trophy, as do the Infantry and Tanks.

The [[Paper Mario]] stage in the 3DS version features three locations from the series: {{s|mariowiki|Hither Thither Hill}} from ''{{s|mariowiki|Paper Mario: Sticker Star}}'', the {{s|mariowiki|S.S. Flavion}} from ''{{s|mariowiki|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}'', and {{s|mariowiki|Bowser's Sky Castle}} from ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' along with the {{SSB4MusicLink|Super Mario Bros.|Paper Mario Medley}}. In addition, trophies of various ''Paper Mario'' characters appear.

The [[Sablé Prince]], the main character of ''Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru'', appears as an Assist Trophy. Pushmo also cameos as a collectable trophy in the 3DS version.

Several references to Lip and the ''Panel de Pon'' series reprises their respective role in this game such as the Garbage Block in {{SSB4|Kirby}}'s [[Stone]] move, the [[Lip's Stick]] as an item, and the ''Brawl'' remix of her theme on the [[Wrecking Crew]] stage only on the Wii U version of he game.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
Along with all other ''Fire Emblem'' characters from previous entries, {{SSBU|Chrom}}, the main protagonist of ''Awakening'', joins the roster as an Echo Fighter of {{SSBU|Roy}}. All ''Fire Emblem'' stages from past entries return, as well as Lyn as an Assist Trophy. Many new music tracks and spirits debut in this game, including content from ''{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Heroes}}'', a mobile game that Intelligent Systems co-developed alongside DeNA. {{SSBU|Byleth}}, the main protagonist of ''Fire Emblem: Three Houses'', appears as a downloadable character as part of Challenger Pack 5, accompanied by the [[Garreg Mach Monastery]] stage. 

''WarioWare'' keeps {{SSBU|Wario}} as its playable character, and Ashley reprises her role as an Assist Trophy. Both ''WarioWare'' stages return, as does the Paper Mario stage. The Sablé Prince reappears as an Assist Trophy, and the ''Pushmo'' series has a music track in the game.

Several references to Lip and the ''Panel de Pon'' series reprises their respective role in this game including the Garbage Block in {{SSBU|Kirby}}'s [[Stone]] move, the [[Lip's Stick]] as an item, and the Brawl remix of her theme on stages only on Summit, Duck Hunt, and stages from non-playable universes. Lip makes her first on-screen appearance in the Smash Bros. series (as well as her first physical appearance in any form of media released in Western territories) as a Support Spirit. She is also the basis for a costume for Mii Swordfighters and a Friend Icon for online play. The appearance of the [[flower]] effect has been changed, now resembling those seen on the title screen of Panel de Pon.

Several ''Nintendo Wars'' spirits makes an appearance such as The Infantry & Tanks from ''Famicom Wars'' (whom do not reprise their roles as an Assist Trophy), Andy, Eagle, and Olaf from the Advance Wars series. 

Henry Fleming from ''Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.'' makes an appearance as a Spirit, as well as a remix of Trouble Brewing II appears, playing only on Summit, Duck Hunt, and stages from non-playable universes. Additionally, the tracks Code Name: F.E., Lords-A Chance Encounter, and Lords-Showdown, remixes of Fire Emblem music, are listed as Fire Emblem music in Ultimate, thus they only play on Fire Emblem stages.

Other spirits includes Maruo Maruhige from Melee (named as "Maruhige Shop Owner"), Yakuman Player from Brawl, the ST Falcon, Mike's ST from ''Battle Clash'', Satoru, the main protagonist of Kousoku Card Battle: Card Hero, and a pig from ''Cubivore''.
