The Skull Kid from ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'' appears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' as an Assist Trophy. When he appears, he can do one of three things, chosen at random:

*Flips the camera upside-down, similar to [[Palkia]]'s effect in [[Spear Pillar]].

*Reverses all directional inputs for all players, so left is right and up is down.

*Turn all fighters invisible.

It'll move into the background and bring down a world of chaos on the whole stage. Even the fighter who summoned him will be affected, so try to keep a level head!''

==Origin==

Skull Kids first appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' as minor characters, but one returns (specifically, the one who befriends Link once he plays Saria's Song to him) in ''Majora's Mask'' as the main antagonist in the game under the control of [[Majora's Mask]]. This Skull Kid is the basis for ''Super Smash Bros. 4'''s Assist Trophy. A Skull Kid (thought to be the same one as he knows Saria's Song) also appears as a minor character in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'' as a miniboss.

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.

*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 be come visible. An example can be seen [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHiJVm2POg here]

*If the Skull Kid flips the screen in [[Training Mode]], the training menu and info will also be flipped.
