'''Min Min''' ({{ja|ミェンミェン|Myen Myen}}, ''MinMin'') is a character from the 3D fighting game {{uv|ARMS}}. After making a cameo as a [[spirit]] in the base version of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Min Min later became a playable character in ''Ultimate'' as the first character of {{h2|Downloadable content (SSBU)|Fighters Pass Vol. 2}}.

==Origin==
[[File:Ninjara Battle.jpg|thumb|left|Min Min fighting against [[Ninjara]] on the {{iw|armsinstitute|Ramen Bowl}} in ''ARMS''.]]
Min Min is one of the 15 fighters from the [[Nintendo Switch]] fighting game ''{{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS|game}}''. She is one of a select few people in the world to be born with a gene that grants {{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS|extendable}}, a phenomenon where the person's arms (or, in rare cases, other body parts) transmute into extendable helixes. In Min Min's case, her ARMS heavily resemble ramen noodles, fittingly in reference to her family operating the Mintendo Noodle House.

Unlike the other fighters, Min Min's left ARM can transform into a dragon ARM (regardless of whatever type of ARM is equipped) when her ARMS are fully {{iw|armsinstitute|charge}}d for longer than usual, or upon successfully [[armsinstitute:Grab|throwing]] an opponent. This effect increases that ARM's size significantly and causes it to remain charged indefinitely. However, this effect can be deactivated if Min Min is hit with a charged punch, knocked down, or if her left ARM is disabled. In addition to her ARMS, Min Min is a talented martial artist, and utilizes kicks that enable her to deflect an opponent's punches.

Min Min participates in the {{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS League}} {{iw|armsinstitute|Grand Prix}} with the goal of winning the championship in order to promote her family's restaurant. Her Grand Prix ending depicts her serving ramen to many people wearing replicas of her hat, including {{iw|armsinstitute|Biff}}, indicating that the publicity stunt was a success.

===Standard ARMS===
In addition to their extendable {{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS|extendable}}, all of the fighters in the ARMS League have equipment also referred to as {{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS|equipment}}, which are worn over their fists and serve as their primary weapons. Different ARMS have different types (referring to how they act when used to punch), attributes (usually an elemental effect inflicted on any opponents hit when the ARM is charged), and weight classes (determining what will happen if two ARMS collide; heavier ARMS will beat out lighter ones, while ARMS of equal weight will cancel each other out). Each fighter comes with three standard ARMS, although all ARMS can be unlocked for all fighters via the {{iw|armsinstitute|ARM Getter}}. Min Min uses her standard ARMS in ''Super Smash Bros.'', which are as follows:
*The '''{{iw|armsinstitute|Ramram}}''' ({{ja|ホットリング|Hotto Ringu}}, ''Hot Ring'') is a medium-weight {{iw|armsinstitute|Curve}}-type and has the {{iw|armsinstitute|Fire}} attribute.
*The '''{{iw|armsinstitute|Megawatt}}''' ({{ja|メガボルト|Megaboruto}}, ''Megavolt'') is a heavy-weight {{iw|armsinstitute|Heavy}}-type and has the {{iw|armsinstitute|Electric}} attribute.
*The '''{{iw|armsinstitute|Dragon}}''' ({{ja|ドラゴン|Doragon}}, ''Dragon'') is a medium-weight {{iw|armsinstitute|Beam}}-type and has the Fire attribute.

===As a playable character===
{{Main|Min Min (SSBU)}}
[[File:Min Min SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Min Min, as she appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]
Prior to ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''{{'}}s launch, playable fighters from ''ARMS'' and ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles (universe)|Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]'' were considered for inclusion in the base roster. However, these potential fighters were passed over because their respective games had been announced long after planning and production of ''Ultimate'' began.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1087124601807691776 @PushDustIn: "Xenoblade 2 and ARMs characters just had bad timing for the project plan."]</ref> A little over a year following ''Ultimate''{{'}}s launch, a [[Nintendo Direct]] Mini on March 26, 2020 announced an {{uv|ARMS}} fighter as the first [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|DLC]] character of {{h2|Downloadable content (SSBU)|Fighters Pass Vol. 2}}. Although the entire playable cast of ''ARMS'' was shown in the Direct, the identity of the playable fighter would not be revealed until their release in June.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubRf4zyEvG4 Nintendo Direct Mini 3.26.2020]</ref>

On June 22nd, an installment of ''[[Mr. Sakurai Presents]]'' was released and ultimately revealed that Min Min was the playable ''ARMS'' fighter, and that she would be released on June 29th. According to [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'']] series creator and director [[Masahiro Sakurai]], he narrowed down the choices to Min Min and [[Ninjara]], but ultimately chose the former following a request from {{iw|armsinstitute|Kosuke Yabuki}}, the producer of ''ARMS''.<ref name=MinMinReveal>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_NNyXaBW-I Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents "Min Min"]</ref> On a related note, Sakurai responded to the widespread notion of [[Spring Man]] being the main protagonist of ''ARMS'' by saying that, according to Yabuki, "Everyone's the protagonist!"<ref name=MinMinReveal/>

Min Min's ARMS give her a unique control scheme: the [[A button]] and [[B button]] control her left and right ARMS, respectively; by extension, they result in her special moveset technically consisting of only an up special move ([[ARMS Jump / ARM Hook]]) and a down special move ([[ARMS Change]]). Min Min wields her standard ARMS ({{iw|armsinstitute|Ramram}}, {{iw|armsinstitute|Megawatt}}, and {{iw|armsinstitute|Dragon}}), which she can freely cycle between via ARMS Change. In addition to her ARM-based attacks, Min Min uses various types of kicks; her up smash is particularly notable due to being a [[reflect]]or, which is a reference to her ability to deflect an incoming punch in ''ARMS''.<ref name=MinMinReveal/> Due to her very long-ranged, yet laggy [[punch]]es, Min Min's playstyle encourages playing on the ground from a distance, but leaves her at a disadvantage in the air and at close range.<ref name=MinMinReveal/>

====Primary spirit====
Prior to the release of the Min Min fighter, Min Min appeared as an Ace-class [[primary spirit]].

In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], Min Min is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. Min Min's spirit is located in the village section of [[The Light Realm]].

Min Min uses a female {{SSBU|Corrin}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[New Pork City]] stage's [[Ω form]]. During the battle, Corrin has increased move speed and favors her [[Dragon Fang Shot]], referencing Min Min's Dragon ARM, a dragon-shaped ARM with the ability to fire a laser from its mouth. Also, Corrin's attack power increases when she reaches high damage.

==Trivia==
*Min Min is the first DLC [[newcomer]] in any ''Super Smash Bros.'' game to come from a new first-party series; {{SSB4|Corrin}}, {{SSBU|Byleth}} and {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} are from preexisting series.
*Min Min's default right ARM in ''ARMS'' is the Megawatt, whereas in ''Super Smash Bros.'', it is the Ramram.
*Min Min is the fourth fighter to originate from a fighting game, following [[Ryu]], [[Ken Masters]], and [[Terry Bogard]].
*Min Min's playable inclusion in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' marks the first time a newly included franchise's fighter is not the flagship character or mascot in some form (such as one who is the main protagonist) or prominently featured in official media in some form (such as box art).
**According to ''ARMS'' producer Kosuke Yabuki, this is because every fighter in ''ARMS'' is the protagonist.
**In addition, Min Min was the champion of the online {{iw|armsinstitute|Party Crash Bash}} ''ARMS'' event that took place from November 2018 to June 2019, in which Ninjara was also the runner-up.
***She also won six Party Crashes in ''ARMS''.
*Min Min, {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}, {{SSB4|Lucas}}, {{SSBU|Pyra}}, and {{SSBU|Mythra}} are the only fighters to already have appeared as collectibles prior to being added as playable characters within the same ''Super Smash Bros.'' game.
*Min Min is the first fighter in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to speak Chinese.
**She is also the only fighter to speak a real-life language other than English or Japanese in all regions of ''Ultimate''.
*Perhaps coincidentally, Min Min's [[neutral attack#Rapid jabs|rapid jab]] bears a slight resemblance to {{iw|wikipedia|Chun-Li}}'s Hyakuretsukyaku in {{uv|Street Fighter}}. Like Chun-Li, Min Min hails from a fighting game, and is a practitioner of {{iw|wikipedia|Chinese martial arts}}.
*Min Min, [[Ness]], [[Lucas]], and [[Kazuya]] are the only fighters to have a [[reflect]]or that is not a [[special move]].
*Interestingly, while Min Min's name is spelled identically to English in the Japanese ''ARMS'' official website, the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions of ''Ultimate'' spell it as a single word ("MinMin").
