'''The Walt Disney Company''', or just '''Disney''', is an American multinational entertainment and media conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios complex in Burbank, California. {{s|wikipedia|Mickey Mouse}}, created in 1928, is Disney's official mascot.

 

Disney was originally founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt and Roy O. Disney as the "Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio"; it also operated under the names "The Walt Disney Studio" and "Walt Disney Productions" before officially changing its name to The Walt Disney Company in 1986. The company established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, theme parks, consumer products, and many other ventures. A full {{s|wikipedia|list of assets owned by The Walt Disney Company}} can be found here.

''{{s|nintendowiki|Mickey Mouse}}'' and ''{{s|nintendowiki|Mickey & Donald}}'', both {{uv|Game & Watch}} games published by Disney, are listed in the [[Chronicle]] in all regions. Three additional games are also included exclusively in the Japanese version, those being the Nintendo 64 version of ''{{s|wikipedia|Mickey's Speedway USA}}'', ''{{s|wikipedia|Disney's Magical Quest Starring Mickey and Minnie}}'', and ''{{s|wikipedia|Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse}}''.

[[Sora]], the protagonist of the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' franchise, developed by [[Square Enix]] as a joint collaboration between them and Disney, was confirmed on October 5, 2021 to be the sixth and final fighter in the Fighter's Pass Vol. 2, and the final ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' fighter in general. Despite Disney not developing or publishing the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games, they are the sole owner of the brand and all original assets and the company credited with Sora's inclusion.

The silhouette of Mickey Mouse's head, one of Disney’s most recognizable symbols and trademarks, can also be seen as a keychain on Sora's Keyblade.  

*Disney is the second oldest company represented in ''Smash'', with only [[Nintendo]] debuting first by 34 years.

*Disney has previously collaborated with Nintendo on multiple occasions, with their earliest being in the 1950s to create hanafuda cards based around their characters.

*Disney is the second major Western third-party company to be introduced to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, after [[Microsoft]]. They are also the only companies who primarily specialize in other industries.

**By the time of Sora’s reveal Disney had long since shut down all of their video game divisions due to poor sales of their games.

*Coincidentally, Sora was revealed in the same month Disney was founded, with his release only falling 2 days after Disney's 98th anniversary.  

*Also coincidentally enough, Bowser, Sonic, Pacman, Ryu, and Ken all starred together in ''Wreck-it Ralph'', an animated movie about video game characters, all except for for Bowser returned in its sequel, ''Ralph Breaks the Internet''.
