| |
| '''Mew''' ({{ja|ミュウ|Myū}}, ''Mew'') is a creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} media franchise. It has appeared as a very rare Pokémon in every game of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. | |
| | |
| In-universe, Mew is the origin of [[Mewtwo]], with the latter being its genetically-altered clone.
| |
| | |
| ==Origin==
| |
| [[File:151MewRB.png|thumb|left|Mew's official artwork from ''Pokémon Red and Blue''.]]
| |
| Introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}, {{pkmn|Mew}} is a pink, feline, Psychic-type Pokémon that somewhat resembles an embryo. It is often depicted as floating through the air, sometimes encased in a bubble of energy. Within the {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokédex}}, it is registered at #151 as the "New Species Pokémon", being the last Pokémon in the Kanto Pokédex. It is said to be the origin of all other species of Pokémon, and as such, it can legitimately learn any TM move and most tutoring moves in the game. Sightings of Mew are very rare, as the Pokémon is normally invisible, only revealing itself to the pure of heart.
| |
|
| |
|
| Some time in the past, Mew was encountered and captured by scientists, who performed a multitude of experiments until it gave birth to a clone, dubbed [[Mewtwo]]. Oddly enough, Mew is numbered after Mewtwo in the Pokédex, most likely due to its late inclusion during the franchise's development.
| | ==Creature description== |
| | Mew takes the appearance of a cat. Its whole body is pink and it has a long pink tail. Mew also has big blue and black eyes. Mew travels in a bubble in both of the Smash Brothers games. Sparkles come out of the bubble while it moves around. |
|
| |
|
| According to developer anecdotes, Mew was never originally intended to be encountered at all, only being mentioned as part of the games' backstory. However, just two weeks before the games were due for release, removing the development tools left enough unused space for a single Pokémon; programmer {{iw|bulbapedia|Shigeki Morimoto}} included Mew as a secret encounter, something even [[Nintendo]] was unaware of.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Iwata-Asks/Iwata-Asks-Pokemon-HeartGold-Version-SoulSilver-Version/Iwata-Asks-Pokemon-HeartGold-Version-SoulSilver-Version/1-Just-Making-The-Last-Train/1-Just-Making-The-Last-Train-225842.html Iwata Asks - Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref>

|
| |
|
| Because of its hidden nature, Mew became the first {{iw|bulbapedia|Mythical Pokémon}}. It cannot be obtained through regular gameplay, and thus the only way to obtain it legitimately is through real-life distribution events. In most of these events, Mew is obtained without fighting it.
| | ==In ''Super Smash Bros.''== |
| | |
| The only game where Mew can be encountered and fought normally is ''Pokémon Emerald'', where the player can participate in an event to visit a [[bulbapedia:Faraway Island|deserted island]] where it resides.
| |
| | |
| Its depiction within the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is similar to Mewtwo, in that both of them are loosely based off of their [[bulbapedia:M01|first movie]] incarnations; [[List of voice actors#Y|Kōichi Yamadera]], its actor from the movie, also provides its voice in ''Smash''. Its voice clips prior to ''Ultimate'' were from the movie; one was used in ''Smash 64'' while another was used in ''Melee'' (excluding the German and French versions, which have different clips), ''Brawl'', and ''Smash 4''. Both play at a lower pitch than in the movie; the second clip in its pitched-down form was used previously in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Snap}}''.
| |
| | |
| Mew's appearance in a bubble is based on its appearance in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Snap}}''. In ''Ultimate'', the bubble is updated, making it retroactively resemble its appearance in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|New Pokémon Snap}}''. The move Mew uses in its appearances in ''Smash'' is {{iw|bulbapedia|Fly|move}}; since Mew is capable of learning all TM and HM moves, it can learn the move from {{iw|bulbapedia|HM02}} in all games. Its elusive nature is also reflected appropriately; it is among the rarest Pokémon to encounter in each installment, and doing so is usually acknowledged through a [[notice]].

| ==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
| |
| In an official poll held on ''[[Smabura-Ken]]'' (the game's official Japanese website) regarding characters for a potential sequel, Mew placed 10th with 24 votes.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult2.html</ref>

| |
| Mew makes its first appearance in ''Super Smash Bros.'' It will not do anything, but will instead remain on the screen for a few seconds, then fly off. Once the player has unlocked any of the hidden characters, Mew has a 1-in-151 chance of appearing in the game, in reference to Mew's Pokedex number and the total number of Pokémon at the time when ''Super Smash Bros.'' came out.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/Pokemon.html]</ref> If Mew is summoned by the player in the [[1P Game]], the player is awarded the "Mew Catch" bonus, worth 15,000 points (8,000 points in the Japanese version).

| | Mew makes its first appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', using Teleport as its attack which will have Mew remain on the screen for a few seconds, then fly off. It can be completely unnoticed when it comes out of a [[Poké Ball]] if the fighting is intense, since it doesn't harm anyone. Mew's appearance is rare since it is a legendary Pokémon. The summoner of Mew is awarded the '''Mew Catcher''', worth '''10,000 points'''. |
| Mew returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', appearing in a bubble and flying off instead of attacking, again causing no harm to any fighter. Mew can only appear from a Poké Ball if all characters are [[unlockable character|unlocked]]. This makes Mew one of only two unlockable Pokémon in ''Melee'', the other being [[Celebi]], both having a 1-in-251 chance of appearing related to the total of existing Pokémon at the time. The first time the player sees a Mew, they will receive a [[notice]] commemorating the occasion. Seeing Mew is one of the requirements of unlocking Celebi.
| |
| | |
| Mew's and Celebi's chance to spawn are determined independently, with Celebi being determined before Mew—because Celebi's chance to spawn must fail first, this results in Mew having a slightly lower chance to spawn when Celebi is unlocked (<code>(250/251)×(1/251)</code> or <code>1/252.004</code>). Additionally, either of the two can only appear once per match, meaning if Celebi appears then Mew cannot or vice versa, and then neither will be able to appear afterwards. | |

| ===Trophy=== | | ==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''== |
| Mew is featured as a collectible trophy; to attain it, the player has to clear the [[All-Star Mode]] on Hard or Very Hard difficulty, though the player is allowed to use continues.

| |desc=Mew is an extremely rare Pokémon that has been seen by only a few people. Information on every Pokémon in the world is contained in Mew's cell structure, so it has the ability to use any and all {{iw|bulbapedia|TM}}s and {{iw|bulbapedia|HM}}s. Some Pokémon scholars believe Mew to be the ancestor of all existing Pokémon, but the idea is debatable. | |

| | Mew reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', again using Teleport as its attack. The only difference in the "attack" is that Mew says its name before flying off, as all the Pokemon do. No character is harmed by Mew's attack in ''Melee'' either. Mew can only be seen if all characters are unlocked. This makes Mew one of only two unlockable Pokémon in '''Melee''', the other being [[Celebi]]. Both have a 1-in-251 chance of appearing in this game. |
| [[File:Mewbrawl.jpg|thumb|150px|Mew as seen in ''Brawl''.]]
| |
| Mew returns yet again in the third installment, and it now drops a [[CD]] before flying away. Along with [[Celebi]] and [[Jirachi]], it is one of the rarest of all the Pokémon, having a 1-in-493 chance to spawn, in reference to the total number of Pokémon as of Generation IV (the then-current generation of the series). After encountering Mew for the first time, the player receives a notice as in ''Melee''. | |
|
| |
|
| If the player has collected all of the CDs, Mew will instead drop [[sticker]]s, like [[Jirachi]] does. If the player has collected all CDs and stickers, Mew drops nothing.
| | ===As a trophy=== |

| | Mew features as a collectible trophy; this trophy must be specifically earned by encountering Mew once during any match. |

| Mew returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as either a [[Poké Ball]] or [[Master Ball]] summon. It drops a random [[trophy]] or [[Custom Part]] as it flies away, taking over [[Celebi]]'s role in ''Brawl''. In the Wii U version, it may also drop CDs. This is the first game where Mew does not need to be unlocked.

| |
| [[File:Mew SSBU.png|thumb|Mew as it appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]
| |
| Mew returns as a Poké Ball summon. However, as in-battle collectible spawns have been removed entirely, it has no effect in-game at all, much like its pre-''Brawl'' behavior, now making it completely useless.
| |
|
| |
| Mew cannot be summoned on [[Corneria]] or [[Mushroomy Kingdom]].
| |
| {{clr}}
| |
|
| |
| ===Spirit===
| |
| Mew also appears as a Legend-class [[support spirit]].
| |
|
| |
| Mew's Spirit Battle uses a {{SSBU|Mewtwo}} puppet fighter and is fought on the {{SSB|Kongo Jungle}} stage. During the battle, the player must defeat Mewtwo in 1:30, referencing the short amount of time that Mew appears on-screen as a rare Poké Ball Pokémon before flying away in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Also, Mewtwo will turn invisible while the stage is covered in fog, referencing Mew's ability to turn itself invisible at will, who normally appears to those who are pure of heart.

| ==Trivia==
| | Mew returns yet again in the third installment. This time, it occationally drops collectables, such as a [[CD]]. According to some sources, it only drops [[CD]]s, however, this is false. It is the rarest of all the Pokemon. After the first time you see it you will get a notice saying that it was your first time (like in Melee). |
| *[[Goldeen]], Mew, and [[Snorlax]] are the only Pokémon to appear as Poké Ball Pokémon in every game.
| | <ref>http://www.serebii.net/ssbb/pokeball.shtml</ref> |
| **Mew is also the only Mythical Poké Ball Pokémon to appear in every game.
| | Once one has acquired all the CDs, Mew will drop Stickers instead. |
| **Mew is also the first Mythical Pokémon to appear in ''Smash''.
| |
| *If Mew is sent out during [[Smash Tour]], it will not drop anything.
| |
| *The odds of Mew being released from a Poké Ball in the first 3 games reflect the total number of Pokémon known at the time of that ''Smash'' game's release: it has a 1 in 151 chance of appearing in ''Smash 64'', referencing the number of Pokémon introduced in Generation I; a 1 in 251 chance of appearing in ''Melee'', referencing the total number of Pokémon known during Generation II and a 1 in 493 in ''Brawl'', referencing the total number of Pokémon in Generation IV.
