'''Skull Kids''' ({{ja|スタルキッド|Sutaru Kiddo}}, ''Stal Kid'') are recurring characters in {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} series. They appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as [[sticker]]s. The one from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask}}'' appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', wearing the titular mask, as an [[Assist Trophy]].

==Origin==
[[File:SkullKid64.png|left|thumb|SkullKid64.png|Skull Kid casting a spell in ''Majora's Mask''.]]
Skull Kids first appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' as minor characters, with one in particular who befriends Link once he plays Saria's Song to him and rewards Link with a piece of heart. In ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask}}'', a Skull Kid becomes a central character. Lonely and depressed due to a lack of friends, he is shunned and downtrodden by the people of {{iw|zeldawiki|Termina}} because of his many tricks and pranks. Still, he managed to find companionship in {{iw|zeldawiki|Tatl}} and {{iw|zeldawiki|Tael}}. One day, he manages to steal a mask from the {{iw|zeldawiki|Happy Mask Salesman}} and put it on. This mask was [[Majora's Mask]], which corrupted his mind and turned him evil. He now wished to destroy all of Termina by striking it with the [[Moon]]. He crosses Link during this time, which sets the events of the game into motion. This Skull Kid is the basis for ''Super Smash Bros. 4'''s Assist Trophy. A Skull Kid also appears as a minor character in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'', who plays hide and seek as a form of guidance towards the Master Sword and the Temple of Time and as a miniboss who sends shadow puppets to attack Link.

The Skull Kid's attack as an Assist Trophy is not based on any known ability of Majora's Mask itself, although Skull Kid has been seen using the power of the mask to curse people for his own amusement. Two of his attacks, however, have a mechanic that makes reference to the {{s|zeldawiki|Stone Tower}} and its [[zeldawiki:Stone Tower Temple|respective temple]], which must be inverted for Link to progress.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
Skull Kid himself did not appear, but he was mentioned in the description of the {{h2|List of SSBM trophies (The Legend of Zelda series)|Four Giants}} [[trophy]] and the {{h2|List of SSBM trophies (The Legend of Zelda series)|Majora's Mask}} trophy.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
Skull Kids appear on two [[sticker]]s in ''Brawl''.

===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===

[[File:FlippedHUD.jpg|thumb|Skull Kid flipping the screen.]]
The Skull Kid from ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'' appears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' as an Assist Trophy. As one of the [[Tips]] mentions, Skull Kid is one of the only Assist Trophies to have potentially detrimental effects to both enemies and the user. When he appears, he can do one of three things, chosen at random:
*Flips the camera upside-down, as well as mirroring it.
*Reverses all directional inputs for all players, so left is right and up is down. This does not apply to [[taunt]]s.
*Turns all fighters invisible.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''==
===As an Assist Trophy===
Skull Kid once again returns as an Assist Trophy from ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. [[Training Mode]] describes his Assist Trophy: ''Does disruptive things like turning the stage upside down or making fighters invisible. Can't be KO'd.'' When playing on the [[Spear Pillar]] stage, Skull Kid cannot be summoned which is likely due to Palkia which can affect the screen most likely similar to what Skull Kid usually does as an Assist Trophy. Along with Spear Pillar, Skull Kid cannot be summoned on 3D Land, Arena Ferox, Dream Land, Hyrule Castle, Jungle Japes, Magicant, Mario Circuit, Midgar, Peach's Castle, Reset Bomb Forest, Skyloft, Super Mario Maker, Tortimer Island, Umbra Clock Tower, and WarioWare, Inc.

===As a costume===
[[File:SSBU Skull Kid Set.jpg|thumb|A {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} dressed as the Skull Kid.]]
Skull Kid serves as the basis for the Skull Kid's Hat Headgear and the Skull Kid's Outfit for the {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}.

===Spirit===
Skull Kid also appears as two different [[primary spirit]]s.

In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], Skull Kid is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. After Galeem's defeat, [[Dharkon]] takes control of Galeem's spirits, including Skull Kid. Skull Kid's spirit is located in the [[Sacred Land]] sub-dungeon of [[The Dark Realm]].

Skull Kid's Spirit Battle uses a Mii Brawler puppet fighter wearing a Skull Kid's Hat and Outfit and can be fought on the [[Distant Planet]] stage. He is fought along two [[Tiny]] {{SSBU|Meta Knight}} puppet fighters representing Skull Kid's fairy companions, Tatl and Tael. During the battle, Skull Kid appears as a hostile Assist Trophy while the stage is covered in fog, referencing the fog of the Lost Woods where the Skull Kid resides.

Skull Kid & Majora's Mask can be obtained by [[enhanceable spirit|enhancing]] the Skull Kid spirit at level 99.

==Trivia==
*Usually, when Skull Kid makes the fighters invisible, they stay invisible upon losing a life. However, if this happens in [[Smash Tour]], the newly-respawned character will become visible.
*If Skull Kid flips the screen in [[Training Mode]], the training menu and info will also be flipped.
**Conversely, if a character is out of the camera's view and taking [[hoop damage]] during a standard match, the hoop will point at the character's actual location, instead of following the flipped camera view.
*Skull Kid is one of the few Assist Trophies to be revealed on the ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' website rather than in a Nintendo Direct.
*Skull Kid cannot be summoned on Spear Pillar due to his abilities conflicting with those of Dialga and Palkia. For similar reasons, Palkia cannot be summoned from a Poké Ball alongside Skull Kid and vice versa.
