Meowth can be summoned by a [[Poké Ball]]. It uses Pay Day as its attack: Meowth hovers in the place it was summoned, scattering coins in all directions. Any character caught in the radius of this attack will take damage. When the coins hit characters, they also make [[Mario (universe)|Mario]]-coin sounds. The attack radius of Pay Day is short so it can be easy to avoid, however, fighters can become trapped in the barrage of coins taking up to 50% damage. Meowth can also deal significant damage with its body, which has much higher [[knockback]] scaling, so it may [[KO]] foes after they are hit with the coins. Meowth's attack does not harm the summoner. | Meowth can be summoned by a [[Poké Ball]]. It uses Pay Day as its attack: Meowth hovers in the place it was summoned, scattering coins in all directions.

Meowth's trophy is unlocked after getting the "Smash Blue" trophies (from the [[All-Star Mode|All-Star]] single-player mode) for all 26 playable characters. This is the only game where Meowth isn't a Poké Ball Pokémon. | ||

Reflecting this, the trophy depicts Meowth holding the red and white guitar featured from the demo. | ||
