{{art-supermariowiki|Next Level Games}}
'''Next Level Games''' is a Canadian video game developer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. They were originally an independent developer that worked closely with [[Nintendo]], developing titles such as the ''[[Mario (universe)|Mario Strikers]]'' series, the ''Luigi's Mansion'' series, {{uv|Punch-Out!!}} for the Nintendo Wii, and ''[[Metroid (universe)|Metroid Prime: Federation Force]]''. On January 5th, 2021, it was announced that Next Level Games would be acquired by Nintendo by March 1st, essentially converting them into a first party subsidiary. 

===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
Next Level Games' only representation in ''Brawl'' is through the ''Mario Strikers'' series. The [[Soccer Ball]] item is inspired by these games, including its tendency to catch on fire. The Striker Mario, Striker Daisy, and Kritter (Goalie) [[trophies]] are taken directly from ''Mario Strikers Charged''. Several [[sticker]]s are taken from the series, as well.

===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''===
[[Little Mac]] makes his debut as a playable character using his design from the rebooted Nintendo Wii installment. [[Doc Louis]] also appears as part of his taunts (voice only) and victory animations, with his [[voice actor]] Riley Inge reprising the role. The [[Boxing Ring]] stage is based on the game's aesthetics and design. Several trophies use models directly from the game, in addition to the music tracks ''{{SSB4MusicLink|Punch-Out!!|Minor Circuit (Original)}}'', ''{{SSB4MusicLink|Punch-Out!!|World Circuit Theme}}'', and ''{{SSB4MusicLink|Punch-Out!!|Title (Punch-Out!!)}}''.

[[Luigi]]'s new [[Final Smash]], the [[Poltergust 5000]], is based on the updated Poltergust model from ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', which was developed by Next Level Games. It also appears as a trophy in {{for3ds}}, along with ghosts from the game and the Polterpup. The tracks ''{{SSB4MusicLink|Super Mario Bros.|Luigi's Mansion Series Medley}}'' and ''{{SSB4MusicLink|Super Mario Bros.|On the Hunt -Gloomy Manor ver.- (Instrumental)}}'' are based on songs from the game.

The Soccer Ball item returns with similar functionality.

===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
Little Mac and all his associated elements return. Additionally, all ''Punch-Out!!'' spirits use artwork from the Wii installment.

Luigi's Final Smash is replaced with the [[Poltergust G-00]] from ''Luigi's Mansion 3'', which was not yet released at the time of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s debut. Luigi also uses the Poltergust G-00 for his grab and throws. The previous music tracks sourced from ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' return, and Polterpup and the Poltergust 5000 appear as spirits. King Boo and Professor E. Gadd's depictions from ''Dark Moon'' also appear as spirits.

Waluigi and Petey Piranha's depictions from the ''Mario Strikers'' series appear as spirits. The Soccer Ball item also returns once again.

A Mech from ''Metroid Prime: Federation Force'' appears as a spirit, and the music track ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Metroid|Main Theme - Metroid Prime: Federation Force}}'' is taken directly from this game.
