 The '''Vault Boy''' ({{ja|Vaultボーイ|Bōruto Bōi}}, ''Vault Boy'') is the mascot of the {{uvm3|Fallout}} franchise.
 ==Origin==
-The Vault Boy is the mascot of the company Vault-Tec from the ''Fallout'' franchise by Bethesda. Vault-Tec designed post-apocalyptic shelters called Vaults to enable humanity to survive in the aftermath of a worldwide nuclear war, though the majority of these Vaults were in reality controlled, often unethical human experiments. The Vault Boy illustrates character statistics and selectable attributes, and from ''Fallout 3'' onward, models wearable equipment. Vault Boy should not be confused with the Pip Boy; the wearable computer used by the player to access their inventory.

Various trailers and animations starring Vault Boy have also been made over the years to advertise different ''Fallout'' games.

 ==Trivia==
 *Vault Boy is the first time Bethesda has been represented in ''Super Smash Bros.''
-*Following [[Microsoft]]’s acquisition of Bethesda on September 21, 2020, Vault Boy is now retroactively the first Microsoft Mii Costume and the second Microsoft franchise to be represented in ''Smash''.<!--Cuphead is not a property of Microsoft nor was it ever one. Do not add it here-->

Do not add it here-->
 <!--Do not add a possible reason for why Fallout's logo was not shown in Vault Boy's American trailer until there is a confirmed reason. SmashWiki is not speculative.-->
-*Unlike other regions, the logo for ''Fallout'', the series Vault Boy hails from, is absent in the American version of his [[Mii Costume]] reveal trailer, being replaced with a wordmark featuring the character's name. This is also the case with [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad|Altaïr]] and [[Travis Touchdown]]. There has not been an explanation for this, but it is speculated that it is due to Nintendo not wanting to promote a Mature-rated series (besides ''Metal Gear'', ''Bayonetta'', ''Persona'', and ''Resident Evil'') through mentioning it by name in an E10+ game.

This is also the case with [[Altaïr]], [[Travis Touchdown]], [[Dragonborn]], [[Dante]], and the [[Doom Slayer]]. There has not been an explanation for this, though it is worth noting all 5 characters come from series that consist of M-rated games.
-**Despite this, ''Fallout'' is mentioned by name in the North American version via the “News” section, also the case with Altaïr and Travis.

 *The introduction to Vault Boy's Mii Costume references the "SPECIAL" rule-set (which is spelled out in-game as "S.P.E.C.I.A.L.") from the ''Fallout'' series by abbreviating "Smash" similarly.
