'''Duck Hunt''' ({{ja|ダックハント}}, ''Duckhunt'') (known as '''Duck Hunt Duo''' in the European release) are [[newcomer]] fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Aside from its titular game, Duck Hunt also references other NES light-gun games by having [[special move]]s that use the gunmen from ''Wild Gunman'' and a can from ''Hogan's Alley''. Duck Hunt was first leaked as part of the [[Leak#ESRB leak|ESRB leak]] prior to the release of {{for3ds}}; the character would be the last newcomer to receive a formal reveal and trailer on November 5th, 2014, in a [[Nintendo Direct]] presentation.

==How to unlock==
==={{for3ds}}===
* Complete {{SSB4-3DS|Classic Mode}} with 8 characters.
* Play 110 VS Matches.
After completing one of the two methods, Duck Hunt must then be defeated on [[Battlefield]].

==={{forwiiu}}===
* KO one fighter in [[Cruel Smash]].
* Play 100 VS matches.
After completing one of the two methods, Duck Hunt must then be defeated on the [[Duck Hunt stage]].

==Attributes==
Despite being referred to as "Duck Hunt '''Duo'''" in the PAL versions, Duck Hunt is not a single entity, but rather a trio of fighters much like {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} is in ''Brawl''. In Duck Hunt's case, the team consists of the dog and a duck from ''{{s|wikipedia|Duck Hunt}}'' as well as an unseen person using an {{s|wikipedia|NES Zapper}}. The dog uses spins, paw swipes, and bite attacks for his moves. The duck is used for some tilts and the team's up special. Lastly, the unseen person with the Zapper is used for only five moves: when a [[smash attack]] is used and during the team's neutral and side special attacks, in which the player shoots the can and clay pigeon, respectively. The nature of Duck Hunt's specials make them highly proficient at zoning.

Of note is that the duck has a [[hurtbox]] just as the dog does.

==Trophies==

:'''Duck Hunt'''
::{{flag|ntsc}} ''You could call these two the stars of the NES 1985 launch title Duck Hunt. The goofy dog would chase down any ducks hit by the Zapper. In Smash Bros., these two work as a team to fight. When a can or a clay pigeon is in play, hit the button again to fire at it. Show your foes how the ducks felt!''

::{{flag|pal}} ''Back in 1987, when Duck Hunt came out, these two might not have had the best relationship. That all seems to have changed now, and this unlikely pair are here to fight together. After throwing a can or a clay pigeon, press the button again to have a little helper fire the NES Zapper for extra damage!''

{{Trophy games|console1=NES|game1=Duck Hunt (10/1985)}}

:'''Duck Hunt (Alt.)'''
::{{flag|ntsc}} ''Duck Jump, an up special, has the charming twosome float up in an adorable fashion. It also makes getting back to the stage much easier. Their side smash can hit up to three times at close range, depending on your shooting skills. By charging up the attack, you can increase the range even further!''

::{{flag|pal}} ''Duck Jump Duo, an up special, has the charming twosome float up in an adorable fashion. It also makes getting back to the stage much easier.

:'''NES Zapper Posse'''
::''In this Final Smash, three games from the Light Gun Series team up: Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, and Wild Gunman. A flock of ducks fly by, warping anyone they hit to the Wild West. There, a posse of gunmen will use foes for target practice! If the ducks don't hit anyone, though, nothing happens besides some birds passing through.''

==Trivia==
*The dog of Duck Hunt is the second character in the series (following [[Ivysaur]]) to be a fully quadrupedal fighter, although the dog can stand on two legs.
**Humorously, the dog stands on two legs to swing with the [[Home-Run Bat]].
*Duck Hunt is the only newcomer to not have footage from their reveal trailer be used in {{forwiiu}}'s [[opening movie]].
**He is also one of the only two newcomers not to appear in the opening movie, the other being {{SSB4|Dark Pit}}.
*Duck Hunt is one of the few characters who lacks voice clips in the [[Sound Test]]. However, the dog barks in some of his attacks, laughs during his side taunt and on-screen appearance, yelps during his [[Star KO]], and whines if he misses his [[Final Smash]].
**This could be because the game registers them as sound effects, not voice clips.
*Not counting Pokemon, this is the first non-anthropomorphic group to be playable in a Smash Bros game if one doesn't count the gunner.
*The duck and Falco are the only two avian characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
*According to an interview, Duck Hunt was one of the first new characters put on the roster.
**Ironically, he was the last one announced.
*Duck Hunt is the only unlockable newcomer to introduce a new universe.
**Duck Hunt is also the only sole representative, unlockable newcomer.
*Duck Hunt, {{SSB4|Pac Man}} and {{SSB4|Villager}} are the only characters who have moves based on another series.
*When Duck Hunt falls in their helpless state, the sound effect that plays when a duck falls in the original Duck Hunt plays.
