'''''Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light''''' ({{ja|ファイアーエムブレム　暗黒竜と光の剣|Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Ken}}, ''Fire Emblem: Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light'') is the first installment of the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} game series, developed by Nintendo R&D1 and Intelligent Systems and published by [[Nintendo]]. It is widely accepted to be a progenitor of the tactical role-playing game genre as it exists in Japan, with many other Japanese games of the genre following in its stead.
'''''Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi''''' ({{ja|ファイアーエムブレム　暗黒竜と光の剣|Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi}}, ''Fire Emblem: Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light'') is the first installment of the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} game series, developed by Nintendo R&D1 and Intelligent Systems and published by [[Nintendo]], and released only in Japan. It is widely accepted to be something of an archetypical codifier for the strategy roleplaying game genre as it exists in Japan, with many other Japanese games of the genre following in its stead.

The game is set on the continent {{s|fireemblemwiki|Archanea}}, just one of several lands in a world explored by later installments. The game follows the story of [[Marth]] (one of the series' representatives in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series), the exiled prince of the fallen kingdom of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Altea}}, as he travels Archanea to raise a resistance army to combat the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Dolhr}} empire, which currently dominates much of the land, and to find the lost sacred sword [[Falchion]] to allow him to follow in the footsteps of his ancestor {{s|fireemblemwiki|Anri}} and slay {{s|fireemblemwiki|Medeus}}, the tyrannical Shadow Dragon.

This game appears as a [[Masterpiece]] in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. It can be played for up to 240 seconds, however it is only available in the Japanese version. An official localized release was not made available until the Nintendo Switch in late 2020, albeit as a limited time offer to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the ''Fire Emblem'' franchise.

=== Fighter ===
Marth, a character introduced in the game,  makes his Smash Bros. series debut (and by extension, his North American video game debut, excluding the Mystery of the Emblem anime adaption, which was released in North America) as an [[unlockable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Marth returns as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and a starter character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''.
{{main|Marth}}
Marth, a character introduced in the game,  makes his ''Smash Bros.'' series debut (and by extension, his international debut, excluding the ''Mystery of the Emblem'' anime adaption, which was released in North America) as an [[unlockable character]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Marth returns as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a starter character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and an unlockable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
 
===Stage===
While a stage based off of the nation of [[AKANEIA|Archanea]] was planned for ''Melee'', it was ultimately scrapped due to unstated circumstances.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return527.html 速報スマブラ拳!!: "アンケート集計拳!!"]</ref><ref>[https://sourcegaming.wordpress.com/2015/04/13/the-definitive-unused-fighters-list-in-smash/ Source Gaming: "The Definitive Unused Fighters List in Smash"]</ref>
 
While [[Castle Siege]] isn't based off of any specific game, many of the elements of this stage were first introduced in this game. This includes the objective of seizing ownership of castles, {{s|fireemblemwiki|Armor Knight}}s and {{s|fireemblemwiki|General}}s, and {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ballista}}.
 
===Assist Trophy===
[[Tiki]] is a {{s|fireemblemwiki|manakete}} - a race of dragonkin able to shapeshift between a humanoid and a dragon form - that debuted in this game. However, while she's seen as a child in ''Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', she uses her adult design in Smash. Despite this, the fire attack she uses as an assist trophy more closely resembles how it appears in this game.
 
===Music===
''Brawl'' was the first game in the Smash series to introduce music from this game with "Fire Emblem Theme" and "Shadow Dragon Medley" being playable on Castle Siege. Both of these tracks are remixes. The latter incorporates multiple pieces of music from the game: '''Enemy Battle Phase''', '''Trouble''' and '''Player Battle Phase Theme'''.
 
''Smash 4'' brings back both tracks introduced in ''Brawl'' while also introducing another new remix, "Fire Emblem", based off the original Fire Emblem recruit theme. Additionally, "Meeting Theme Series Medley" incorporates the recruitment theme that was first introduced in this game, going under several names in different entries such as "Story 5 - Meeting", "Come, Join Us" and, most famously, "Together, We Ride!"


''Ultimate'' brings back all of the music from ''Brawl''.
This game appears as a [[Masterpiece]] in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''. It can be played for more than 123 seconds. However, it is only available in the Japanese version.
