The '''''Super Smash Bros.'' [[universe]]''' ({{ja|大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ|Dairantō Sumasshu Burazāzu}}, ''Great Fray Smash Brothers'') refers to the collection of [[character]]s, [[stage]]s, and properties that are original to the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series. It is featured alongside other non-original licensed game characters and properties within ''Smash'' games. It is the universe of the ''Smash Bros.'' series in-and-of itself. The iconic [[Super Smash Bros. logo|''Super Smash Bros.'' logo]] represents both the series and universe.

==Franchise description==
{{main|Super Smash Bros. (series)}}
During 1998, {{uv|Kirby}} series creator [[Masahiro Sakurai]], working at [[Nintendo]] second-party developer [[HAL Laboratory]], pursued interest in making a fighting game for four players. From the outset, he did not have any ideas and used exceedingly basic character designs. When he presented the concept (provisionally called ''[[Dragon King: The Fighting Game]]'') to his superior, [[Satoru Iwata]] - then the president of HAL Laboratory - Iwata helped Sakurai find ways to make the game original since many fighting games did not sell well, and Sakurai's first idea was to insert a wide variety of popular characters from different Nintendo franchises and have them fight in a crossover. Sakurai knew he would not receive permission to do this by asking, and therefore secretly created a prototype of the [[Nintendo 64]] fighter in advance and only informed his superiors of it after carefully balancing his first four character inclusions: [[Mario]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Samus Aran]], and [[Fox McCloud]]. Fortunately for him, the idea was approved, and Sakurai developed the game, ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', as a low-budget crossover fighter that was intended to be released exclusively in Japan. The finished product's nearly-unique spin on free-roaming, multi-directional fighting on two-dimensional platform-filled planes is said to have been inspired by an obscure 1994 arcade fighting game by [[Namco]] titled ''The Outfoxies''.

''Super Smash Bros.'' was released in Japan on January 21, 1999, and despite little promotion, the game was a surprise and breakout hit, ultimately selling nearly 2 million copies domestically, and after it was decided to localize the game, it was commercially successful internationally as well, selling nearly 3 million copies in the United States. Despite some criticism toward its single player, it received praise for its unique take on fighting games; its simple-to-learn, accessible, and responsive gameplay; and above all else its mix of fan-favorite aesthetics, characters, and music, particularly with {{uv|Pokémon}}, which had then reached the height of its initial explosion of worldwide popularity.

Following the success of ''Super Smash Bros.'', Sakurai became the head of production for a sequel that was intended as a borderline launch title for the next Nintendo system, the [[GameCube]]. Sakurai described his lifestyle during this period as "destructive", working on the game for 13 straight months with no holidays and short weekends, and he found it to be the biggest project he worked on up to that point. Unlike the first game, which was an experimental venture, Sakurai felt great pressure to deliver a quality sequel that would be lauded as one of the system's premier titles. The game would also exhibit an enormous graphical advancement beyond the Nintendo 64, and to this end, the game's opening FMV was developed by HAL in conjunction with three separate graphic houses in Tokyo. The game was released shortly after the GameCube's launch in both Japan and the United States near the end of 2001 as ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and received critical acclaim as both a strong fundamental improvement and a massive expansion of content over its predecessor. The game became the best-selling GameCube game, with more than seven million copies sold worldwide. By this point, the series' relevance as a potent advertisement vehicle for all of Nintendo's IPs represented within it, past and present, was apparent; the representation of [[Marth (SSBM)|two]] [[Roy (SSBM)|characters]] from the then-Japan-exclusive {{uv|Fire Emblem}} series, who were nearly cut out from international versions of ''Melee'', prompted Nintendo's future decision to release almost all subsequent installments of the series worldwide.

During what became a seven-year hiatus for the ''Smash Bros.'' series, Sakurai left HAL Laboratory in 2003 to start his own company, [[Sora Ltd.]], so that he could create games separately from the sequel-heavy schedules of HAL. Meanwhile, Satoru Iwata succeeded Hiroshi Yamauchi as Nintendo's fourth president in 2002. At a pre-E3 2005 press conference, Iwata announced that the next installment of ''Super Smash Bros.'' was soon to be in development for its next console and would be a launch title that utilized the console's Wi-Fi based online capabilities. The announcement came as a surprise to Sakurai as he was not informed of Nintendo's intent to release another ''Smash Bros.'' game, and was only asked after the conference by Iwata to again serve as director; Sakurai agreed, and development began in October 2005. What followed was a development project handled by roughly 100 individuals working full time. The game was officially showcased at the E3 2006 conference as ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', but its actual release dates, set for early 2008, were well over a year after the [[Wii]] console's launch. Prior to release, among the most noteworthy and publicized inclusions in the game were a vastly redesigned {{SSBB|Pit}}, representing a revival of the long-dormant {{uv|Kid Icarus}} series, and the first-ever inclusions of third-party characters in the series: {{SSBB|Solid Snake}} from {{uv|Metal Gear}}, which rumor claims series director [[Hideo Kojima]] had asked to be included in ''Melee'', and {{SSBB|Sonic}} from [[Sonic (universe)|his respective series]], satisfying a long-awaited crossover with historical rival mascot {{SSBB|Mario}}. ''Brawl'' had also encouraged an enormous amount of pre-release hype and speculation by regularly posting blog updates five days a week, detailing new features, characters, and other elements of the game on the official website, the "{{SSBB|Smash Bros. DOJO!!}}", for over eight months straight.

''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' was critically and commercially successful upon release, garnering praise for its new focus on improved single-player content, an expanded and more varied cast, and what was then one of the largest video game soundtracks in history, and became the fastest-selling game in Nintendo of America's history and a seller of over 10 million units total. However, the game garnered criticism for its long loading times, its borderline unplayable online mode, and, among [[competitive]] players and even a few established ones, the general slower pace of the game compared to ''Melee'', with the absence of some advanced movement and attack mechanics and the introduction of mechanics such as hitstun canceling resulting in much more defensive gameplay. The game's Adventure Mode, [[The Subspace Emissary]], was also a major point of contention between those who found it to be a repetitive slog that took much away from what ''Brawl'' could have been and those who found it to be grand and the best part of the game, the latter of which became a particularly common viewpoint in the years following the game's launch. The introduction of random [[tripping]], however, was near universally despised due to it being a non-negotiable element of randomized chance that could singlehandedly dictate the outcome of a match. In an interview two-and-a-half years after the release of ''Brawl'', Sakurai revealed that he himself retrospectively considered ''Melee'' to be "the sharpest game in the series".

Immediately after Sakurai employed his redesign of the ''Kid Icarus'' series' aesthetic in the [[3DS]] title ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'', released in March 2012, he announced the beginning of development of the fourth installment in the ''Smash Bros.'' series, which would be a joint venture between Sora and [[Namco Bandai Games]] and would be co-directed with Yoshito Higuchi, who had previously directed and produced several games in Namco's ''Tales'' series. The first showcase of the project took place at the Nintendo Direct presentation preceding E3 2013, where it was shown that the series would, for the first time, develop and release a pair of titles simultaneously for separate platforms: {{for3ds}} and {{forwiiu}}. Prior to the showcase, Sakurai indicated that the games would receive a different development approach for measuring character balance, and after the showcase, Sakurai confirmed the removal of randomized tripping while [[dashing]]. In contrast to ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the game would not feature an Adventure Mode, as Sakurai felt the massive workload he undertook to develop the SSE was invalidated by people reuploading the cutscenes online: with this in mind, newcomers to the series from this point on would receive stylized video trailers announcing their introduction, a method that Sakurai found would benefit from being shared online.

The games received praise for building off of what was established by the series further, while helping to bridge the gap between ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' players, on top of being able to be taken on the go for the first time with the 3DS version of the game. Both games were criticized for a perceived lack of content, and though being able to play ''Smash'' anywhere was praised, the 3DS' limited controls setup was not. Owing to being on less successful platforms, both games were less successful than ''Brawl'', with the Wii U version selling less than the 3DS version despite the former being preferred for tournament play.

A year after the release of the [[Nintendo Switch]] console, Sakurai started work on the next game in the series. His goal was to "make the impossible possible," by including all characters from the past games. When he announced his intentions to the boardroom of directors, the room fell silent. In March 2018, a teaser trailer was released in the middle of a Nintendo Direct presentation, featuring the [[Inkling]]s from the {{uv|Splatoon}} franchise. The game was formally announced as ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' during E3 of the same year, showcasing all the previous fighters and the "Everyone Is Here" tagline, and revealing that Namco Bandai would again be the co-developer. The game was shown to have an increased focus on competitive play, while keeping it accessible for newcomers as well. During a Smash Direct showcase in October, Sakurai announced that [[trophies]], which otherwise would have taken up much development time, they were being removed in favor of [[spirit]]s, equippable items that augmented fighters, similar to [[stickers]] and [[equipment]] in previous games. Spirits also replace Event matches, by augmenting opponents in ways similar to the depicted character, and the focus of the returning [[Adventure Mode: World of Light|Adventure Mode]]. ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' ended up becoming not just the best selling title in the series and the fastest selling Nintendo game (the latter until ''Pokémon Sword and Shield'' a year later), but the single best selling fighting game of all time at over 22 million copies worldwide as of 2020.

The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is a large departure from the traditional fighting game formula: instead of having two characters trade and block each other's blows until one's health meter is depleted, knock-outs in these games are strictly achieved by sending opponents hurtling away far enough off the stage that they cannot avoid coming into contact with [[blast line|one of the four linear boundaries]] surrounding the stage. Instead of a life bar that decreases, each character has a [[percent]]age-based [[damage]] meter that raises each time they are hit by an attack, which translates into all subsequent attacks incurred by that character [[knockback|sending them away]] farther than before. Every character is designed and intended to feel and play uniquely from the rest in terms of the different moves and movements they are capable of, among many other things about them, and when a character is sent flying away from the stage horizontally, they have the opportunity to [[recovery|return to the stage]] without falling below out of the stage with both a mid-air double jump and a [[Up special move|special move that constitutes a third jump]]. Many options are available to diversify gameplay, such as [[items]] that may be picked up and used, [[stage|selectable stages]] that may feature their own dynamic hazards in their designs and layouts, and a large variety of different modes and settings for customizing matches.

Many players and groups in the competitive playerbase and community for the series choose to play each game with very specific settings and disallow much of the available content in order to minimize luck as a factor. This leads to developed [[metagame]]s for each installment where [[Smasher|top-tier players]], often playing for prizes and prestige under [[Tournament legal|accepted professional rulesets]] defined by players that organize [[tournament|''Smash Bros.''-centered tournaments]] around the world, and regularly [[advanced technique|use precise skill and exploit game physics]] in order to compete. Like many games that allow for competitive play, such as {{uv|Pokémon}}, each character in each game's cast of playable characters is graded by the community on how much inherently "better" or "worse" it is in comparison to other characters in competitive environments, and these "[[tier list]]s" spawn much community debate of their own. A further point of contention is the practice of creating and distributing unofficial modifications that fix perceived flaws and degenerate aspects with the core game design and character balance. However, the most publicized mod for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', [[Project M]], has since been featured alongside the official games themselves at national video gaming tournaments and events.

Every game adds new franchises, either published by Nintendo or involved with a third-party company closely associated with the history of Nintendo as a company, that may be represented with at least one playable fighter, and may additionally be represented with stages, items, and collectibles themed after that franchise. Meanwhile, existing franchises and modes receive new and expanded content with each additional installment of ''Smash'':

*'''''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''''' (1999), for the Nintendo 64, introduces the [[Mario (universe)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] and designates two of its recurring characters, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Yoshi]], as representatives of their [[Donkey Kong (universe)|own]] [[Yoshi (universe)|respective]] "subfranchises". It also represents {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}, {{uv|Metroid}}, {{uv|Kirby}}, {{uv|Star Fox}}, and {{uv|Pokémon}} as primary franchises from the outset, and unlockable characters additionally represent the {{uv|F-Zero}} series and {{uv|EarthBound}}. The game features 12 playable characters total, and for each character, single-player content includes both a [[Target Smash!|target-smashing]] stage and a [[Board the Platforms|platforming stage]] that may be completed for setting time records.

*'''''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''''' (2001), for the GameCube, introduces representation for the 1984 NES game {{uv|Ice Climber}} as an example of a defunct "retro" franchise, and unlockable characters introduce characters of the formerly-Japan-exclusive {{uv|Fire Emblem}} series and the historically-significant [[Game & Watch (universe)|Game & Watch handheld line]]. A total of 25 character choices on the select screen effectively allows a total of 26 playable characters in the game, due to the interchangeable characters {{SSBM|Sheik}} and {{SSBM|Zelda}}. A vast amount of new content is debuted, such as special modes and scenarios and an overarching collection aspect in the form of hundreds of [[trophies]] that may be earned and viewed at any time, complete with descriptions and a selection of games the basis for the trophy appeared in.

*'''''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''''' (2008), for the Wii, adds [[Wario]] and identifies him as from [[Wario (universe)|another subset of the ''Mario'' universe]], while debuting a massive redesign of [[Pit]] and the {{uv|Kid Icarus}} series and featuring the recent {{uv|Pikmin}} series as well. Unlockable characters introduce the first characaters from third-party franchises in the series, [[Solid Snake]] from [[Metal Gear (universe)|Konami's ''Metal Gear Solid'' franchise]] and [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] from [[Sonic (universe)|SEGA's series of the same name]], and also recognize the historically-significant [[R.O.B. (universe)|R.O.B. peripheral]] and give it a playable role. A total of 35 character choices on the select screen allows for a total of 39 playable characters in the game, and every character has an all-new "super attack" called a [[Final Smash]] that is typically made unavailable in competitive play. In addition to more of everything, such as another collection aspect in the form of [[sticker]]s, the game introduces a lengthy single player adventure mode titled ''[[The Subspace Emissary]]'', which is the first instance of a ''Smash Bros.'' game telling a complete crossover narrative with its extensive cast.

*'''''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''''' (2014) is the first instance of the series releasing two separate versions of the game for different platforms on the 3DS and [[Wii U]], and there are content differences between versions such as stages. New franchises that have primary representation are {{uv|Animal Crossing}}, which previously received a great deal of content in ''Brawl'' but no playable character, the {{uv|Wii Fit}} line of fitness hardware and software, {{uv|Punch-Out!!}}, Monolith Soft's [[Xenoblade Chronicles (universe)|''Xenoblade Chronicles'' series]], the well-known NES classic, [[Duck Hunt (universe)|''Duck Hunt'']], the third-party [[Mega Man (universe)|''Mega Man'' franchise by Capcom]], and the third-party [[Pac-Man (universe)|''Pac-Man'' franchise by Namco]]. Furthermore, the [[Mii]] avatars that became available for use in Nintendo hardware and software in 2006 with the release of the Wii are playable as characters representative of the ''Smash Bros.'' series. After the game's release, additional downloadable content became available and brought back [[Mewtwo]] from ''Pokémon'' and [[Roy]] from ''Fire Emblem'', as well as [[Lucas]] from ''EarthBound''. In addition, three more third-party franchises joined the series, including [[Street Fighter (universe)|Capcom's ''Street Fighter'']], [[Bayonetta (universe)|SEGA & PlatinumGames' ''Bayonetta'']] and in a move that shocked the gaming industry, [[Final Fantasy (universe)|Square Enix's flagship series, ''Final Fantasy'']]. The 3DS version was released on September 13, 2014 (Japan), October 2, 2014 (Germany (stores only)), October 3, 2014 (Americas and Europe), and October 4, 2014 (Australia), while the Wii U version released on November 21, 2014 in the Americas, November 28, 2014 in Europe, November 29, 2014 in Australia, and December 6, 2014 in Japan.

*'''''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''''' (2018) is a title for the [[Nintendo Switch]] released on December 7, 2018. This game features all previous veterans and also added the {{uv|Splatoon}} and Konami's {{uv|Castlevania}} universes to the list of universes with playable characters, including - for the first time ever in any Nintendo game - [[Ridley]] from ''Metroid''; for the first time after a decade-long absence, [[King K. Rool]] from the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, [[Isabelle]] - who appeared in the previous game as an Assist Trophy - from ''Animal Crossing: New Leaf'', and [[Incineroar]] from ''Pokémon Sun & Moon'' as playable fighters. In addition, fighters who were previously known as clones were now given the new official name of ''echo'' fighters, with [[Princess Daisy]] from ''Super Mario'', [[Chrom]] from ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', [[Ken Masters]] from ''Street Fighter'' and [[Dark Samus]] from ''Metroid Prime'' being added to the roster as Echo Fighters of [[Peach]], Roy, [[Ryu]], and [[Samus]], respectively. It will also have five DLC fighters featured as part of the [[Fighters Pass]], with a separate sixth character in the form of a generic [[Piranha Plant]] from the ''Mario'' franchise. At the 2018 Game Awards, [[Joker]] from the smash hit JRPG ''Persona 5'' was announced to be the first new downloadable challenger in the Fighters Pass, to be followed up at E3 2019 with the announcements of Hero in their many incarnations from the ''Dragon Quest'' series (with 4 in particular being playable) and Rare's iconic bird & bear duo, [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]]. At the September Direct, it was revealed that not only would SNK's unofficial mascot, [[Terry Bogard]] from ''Fatal Fury'' and ''King of Fighters'' join the battle as the 4th challenger pack in the Pass but also that more individual DLC fighters beyond the pass were now in development. During a January livestream, Byleth from ''Fire Emblem Three Houses'' was revealed as the final member of what is now referred to "Vol. 1" of the pass with confirmation of a second season dubbed Vol. 2 which will have six more fighters added by the end of 2021. During the March 2020 Nintendo Direct Mini, it was formally revealed that the first new challenger of Vol. 2 would be a character from ''ARMS'' but did not say which fighter would be chosen to appear in ''Ultimate''. In a ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' video on June 22nd, [[Min Min]] was revealed as the official fighter from ''[[ARMS]]'' and the opening newcomer of the Fighters Pass Vol. 2. 3 months later on October 1st, it was announced that [[Steve]] (along with [[Alex]], [[Zombie]], and [[Enderman]] as alternate skins) from ''Minecraft'', the best selling video game of all time would join as the second newcomer of Vol. 2, with a ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' presentation to go live two days afterwards on the 3rd. At the Game Awards 2020, it was announced that Cloud’s archenemy, [[Sephiroth]] of ''Final Fantasy VII'' fame, would be joining the roster sometime before the end of December 2020 with his own ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' presentation on the 17th. At the beginning of the February 2021 Nintendo Direct, Rex's 2-in-1 partner from ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'', [[Pyra]] and [[Mythra]] would be entering the battlefield, eventually releasing on March 4, 2021. At E3 2021, it was announced that ''Tekken'' 's poster child and on-again/off-again hero/villain of the series, [[Kazuya]] Mishima will dropkick his way into the action before the end of July with a special ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' showcase on June 28th. Finally, on October 5, the final ''Mr. Sakurai Presents'' video was broadcast, revealing ''Kingdom Hearts'' protagonist [[Sora]] as the final challenger.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
The first game in the series, ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', can be said to feature much more than a standard universe's worth of content based on the universe introduced in the game itself, compared even to the {{uv|Mario}} universe - despite its lack of a playable character or a stage selectable in multiplayer.

===Boss===
*[[File:MasterHandIcon(SSB).png|50px|right|link=Master Hand (SSB)]]'''{{SSB|Master Hand}}''': A giant floating right-hand glove and the narrator, this entity is described as the imaginary link between the real world and the ''Smash Bros.'' tournaments and can be considered the be-all, end-all host of the series. He features a voice that is heard calling out the names of fighters on the [[character select screen]], as well as calling the status of matches before, during, and after matches, so he can be considered the [[Announcer|narrator]] of the series as well, sharing his voice actor with said announcer in order to drive that point home. He functions as the "final boss" of the game in that the final match of the single-player mode pits the player's character against Master Hand in a 1-on-1 duel. He fights with a variety of unique movements and motions, and instead of a percentage meter, he carries a "traditional" health meter that lowers when taking damage from opponents. Reducing it to zero will defeat him and end the 1P Game in success for the player.

===Fighting Team Characters===
*[[File:ThePolygons.png|50px|right|link=Fighting Polygon Team]]'''[[Fighting Polygon Team]]''': The "generic fighter grunts" of the game; these are purple, untextured, blocky entities whose shapes and motions are modeled vaguely after the proper fighters in the game. They appear only in the game's single-player mode in two stages: The {{SSB|Race to the Finish}} stage, in which three of them are obstacles in the player's path to the finish, and in the subsequent Fighting Polygon Team stage, where the player must battle a total of 30 of them as easy-to-KO opponents in a match similar to the Multi-Man Melee/Brawl/Smash of later games. There are twelve varieties of Fighting Polygons, just as there are twelve distinctive fighters in the game.

===Stages===
The first ''Smash'' game features a lot of environments thematically original to the game itself, and none of these are selectable in the game's multiplayer mode (hacking aside); they are only available as single player content. The following stages would work as multiplayer stages if they were available in the multiplayer mode:

*[[File:MetaCrystal.png|50px|right|link=Meta Crystal]]'''[[Meta Crystal]]''': A small and simple stage consisting of a big platform with a small platform above it, this is the single-player stage where the battle against [[Metal Mario]] takes place. It is based on the part of Hazy Maze Cave from ''Super Mario 64'' where Mario would find the Green ! Switch.{{clr}}
*[[File:Battlefield 64.png|50px|right|link=Duel Zone]]'''[[Duel Zone]]''': As with Final Destination above, Battlefield is not referred to as such yet, but rather is known as "Duel Zone" or "Fighting Polygon Stage" in-game. Likewise, it has the same four-platform layout as later [[Battlefield]] stages and serves the same purpose, as the home to the [[Fighting Polygon Team]] in the penultimate single-player battle.{{clr}}
*[[File:FinalDestinationSSB.png|50px|right|link=Final Destination (SSB)]]'''{{SSB|Final Destination}}''': Known as "Master Hand's Residence" in-game, this prototypical [[Final Destination]] otherwise serves the same purpose as its successors in later games. It is a flat, featureless platform laid against a space background and is where the player fights {{SSB|Master Hand}} in the final battle of the game's 1P Game.{{clr}}

The following stages are more "mini-game"-centric stages featured as single-player content:

[[File:Mario Target Smash SSB.png|50px|right]]
*'''Break the Targets!''': Twelve separate maze-like stages are accessible as single-player Target Test challenges in the Target Test mode. There is one stage for each character, and it is specifically constructed to test the character's ability to attack all ten targets in the stage as fast as possible in the time limit. The character will be required to go through their respective Target Test stage early in the game's main single-player mode.{{clr}}
[[File:Mario Board the Platforms.png|50px|right]]
*'''[[Board the Platforms]]!''': Likewise, twelve separate maze-like stages are accessible as single-player Board the Platform challenges in the Board the Platform mode. There is one stage for each character, and it is specifically constructed to test the character's ability to jump onto all ten yellow platforms in the stage as fast as possible in the time limit. The character will be required to go through his respective Board the Platform stage later on in the game's main single-player mode.{{clr}}
[[File:RacetotheFinishSSB.png|50px|right]]
*'''{{SSB|Race to the Finish}}!''': This five-story stage is a single-player mini-game where the character must race from the upper left to the lower right of the stage and reach the end as fast as possible within the time limit, while avoiding obstacles such as floating bumpers, rolling bombs, and three computer-controlled Fighting Polygon opponents.{{clr}}

===Items===
A large proportion of the game's items are original to the game itself.
*'''[[Beam Sword]]''': A powerful energy sword, this bludgeoning weapon carries sound effects similar to a Lightsaber in the ''Star Wars'' movie franchise in the Japanese version of the game, but they was changed for the U.S. release, possibly to avoid copyright trouble.
*'''[[Home-Run Bat]]''': This bludgeoning item is the most potentially deadly offensive measure in the game; while normally featuring unremarkable power with standard attacks, a [[smash attack]] with the Bat carries so much knockback that it often causes a [[one-hit KO]] to the target, regardless of how healthy the opponent is. Some consider it a property native to the {{uv|EarthBound}} franchise, but ''Melee''{{'}}s Trophy Gallery identifies the bat as having made its first game appearance in the original ''Smash'' and not ''EarthBound''.
*'''[[Fan]]''': The polar opposite to the Home-Run Bat and the {{b|Hammer|item}}, the Fan is weak enough that picking it up may be considered a handicap. While it can attack extremely quickly, it does tiny damage and offers no knockback, so it is generally not considered a helpful item.  However, it deals considerable damage against [[shield]]s, and can quickly lead to a shield break if the opponent is not careful.
*'''[[Bumper]]''': A unique item not seen in the sequel (but spiritually replaced by the [[Flipper]]), the thrown Bumper creates an obstacle on the ground that knocks back any opponent that touches it. The bumper, in response, slides in the opposite direction. If another opponent gets in its way, the process repeats.  The Bumper returned in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and all subsequent games.
*'''[[Ray Gun]]''': This item is the standard projectile weapon, firing laser beams that do good knockback. ''Melee'' describes it as having originated in this game, contrary to the popular belief that it originates from the {{uv|Star Fox}} universe.
*'''[[Motion-Sensor Bomb]]''': An item that sticks to the surface it is thrown on. It will detonate if a player steps on it. Despite being labeled as an original item, it is based on the Proximity Mine from ''GoldenEye 007''.
*'''[[Crate]]''': One of the game's four item containment units, the crate is by far the biggest. It is a giant wooden box with the Smash symbol on it, and it can be picked up, carried, and hurled at opponents as a projectile. When it crashes into the ground, it splinters and up to three items contained inside can appear.
*'''[[Barrel]]''': Another item that can contain items within, the Barrel is somewhat less large and may contain fewer items than the Crate, but as a hurled weapon, it can roll on its side before breaking. Some consider it a property native to the {{uv|Donkey Kong}} franchise, but ''Melee''{{'}}s Trophy Gallery identifies the barrel as having made its first game appearance in the original ''Smash'' and not ''Donkey Kong''. It is not to be confused with ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Barrel Cannon]] item.
*'''[[Capsule]]''': This pill-shaped item contains a single item inside. It can be thrown as a fast projectile.
*'''[[Egg]]''': This is a white egg that acts just like a Capsule. Some consider it a property native to the {{uv|Pokémon}} franchise, especially considering that Eggs are scattered about by the appearance of the Pokémon [[Chansey]], but ''Melee''{{'}}s Trophy Gallery identifies the Egg as having made its first game appearance in the original ''Smash'' and not ''Pokémon''. All four of the game's item-containment units have a chance that they contain an explosive rather than an item, so these units can sometimes be used as [[Bob-omb]]s.

===Music===
These are the main musical tracks unique to the game found within the [[Sound Test]]:
*'''1''': The music heard during the game's opening cinema movie, this is fast-paced music interspersed with parts of track 45.
*'''2''': Low-key music heard during the How to Play segment.
*'''3''': Very discrete music heard in the Characters and VS Records sub-menus.
*'''4''': Extremely discrete "music" heard on the game's main menu screen.
*'''25''': This music plays on the match complete screen after one of the 10 character victory fanfare tracks plays for the winning character.
*'''28''': Low-key music heard while playing the Training mode.
*'''32''': Climactic battle music heard in the final battle against Master Hand.
*'''33''': Music heard on any of the Break the Targets, the Board the Platforms stages and Race to the Finish stage.
*'''35''': Discrete, low key music played at the score display screen following the Master Hand battle.
*'''38''': Synthesized battle music heard on the battle against the [[Fighting Polygon Team]].
*'''39''': Heavy techno music that plays when battling [[Metal Mario]] in Single-player mode.
*'''45''': An original composition that is one of the main themes of both the game and the overall ''Smash Bros.'' series. It is heard throughout the ending [[credits]].
There are also many short pieces counted as "music" heard in response to in-game occurrences. These tracks original to the game itself include '''29''', '''30''', '''31''', '''34''', '''36''', '''37''', '''40''', '''41''', '''42''', '''43''', and '''44'''.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
The sequel to ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', is noted for being an immensely larger game than its predecessor. The number of original properties featured in the game is seemingly increased proportionally.

===Bosses===
Like in the previous game, none of the game's characters are considered true "characters" in that they cannot be selected for play without hacking. These all make specific appearances as single-player opponents.
*[[File:MasterHandIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right|link=Master Hand (SSBM)]]'''{{SSBM|Master Hand}}''': The "master of ceremonies" and "narrator" of the series returns in ''Melee'' as a "final boss" enemy like before, but it is no longer the only one. With a slightly redesigned look and some new moves, Master Hand is otherwise not much different as a final boss of the game's [[Classic Mode (SSBM)|"Classic" (Single-Player) Mode]], though he can perform some two-on-one moves with his newly introduced "twin", Crazy Hand.{{clr}}
*[[File:CrazyHandIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right|link=Crazy Hand (SSBM)]]'''{{SSBM|Crazy Hand}}''': The "twin brother" of Master Hand, Crazy Hand is a left hand and is a "hidden boss" in the game. It is described as the embodiment of a child who derives pleasure from destroying his creations, as opposed to Master Hand's will to play around. In the final bout of Classic mode on Normal, Hard, or Very Hard difficulty, when Master Hand has had over half of his hit points depleted, Crazy Hand will erratically enter the battle and join the fight against the player, making it a tougher two-on-one battle. Crazy Hand features at least three of his own unique attacks, and the two Hands will occasionally perform a special two-hand super attack together. If the player can beat both enemies in the match, the Crazy Hand KO bonus will be awarded. Both Hands can also be fought at [[Event 50: Final Destination Match]].{{clr}}
*[[File:GigaBowserIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right|link=Giga Bowser]]'''[[Giga Bowser]]''': A gargantuan, powered-up version of the {{uv|Mario}} universe character {{SSBM|Bowser}}, himself the heftiest fighter in the standard ''Melee'' roster. Giga Bowser, whose body is proportionally different to Bowser, has larger horns, and a frenzied expression on his face, is a hidden final boss in the game's Adventure Mode. At Normal difficulty or above, if the player gets to the final battle against Giant Bowser and defeats him in under 18 minutes, he will "revive" as Giga Bowser to rematch the player; defeating him will yield the Giga Bowser KO bonus and the Giga Bowser trophy. Giga Bowser receives an enormous handicap in his Adventure Mode appearance; he also appears in [[Event 51: The Showdown]], with less of a handicap.{{clr}}

===Fighting Team Characters===
[[File:FightingWireFramesIcon(SSBM).png|50px|right|link=Fighting Wire Frames]]
[[File:MaleFightingWireFrameIcon(SSBM).png|40px|right|link=Fighting Wire Frames]]
[[File:FemaleFightingWireFrameIcon(SSBM).png|40px|right|link=Fighting Wire Frames]]
*'''[[Fighting Wire Frames]]''': The spiritual successors to the Fighting Polygon Team, pink wire-frame models of fighters without special talents. Their insides feature a vague skeletal and organ system, however, and a red ''Smash''-universe symbol resides where each Wire Frame's face should be. Unlike the Fighting Polygons, however, the Wire Frames come only in two varieties: Male and Female. Male Wire Frames feature the body structure and movement/attack style of {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}}/{{SSBM|Ganondorf}} while the females are the same with {{SSBM|Zelda}}. They appear in [[Adventure Mode]], [[Multi-Man Melee]], and some [[Event match]]es.{{clr}}

===Other NPCs===
[[File:SSBM Sandbag.png|50px|right|link=Sandbag]]
The '''[[Sandbag]]''' from the Home-Run Contest mode might be considered a character because it registers damage as an opponent, and can even be played as when the game is hacked, though it has no moveset past movement and a single jump.

There is also a character named '''[[NONE]]''' which can be selected when the games debug mode is selected. It is most likely a removed testing character, as the game crashes upon its selection.

===Stages===
The game contains more environments thematically original to the game itself than the previous game. The two Multiplayer-friendly stages that follow, however, are indeed unlockable for selection.

*[[File:BattlefieldIconSSBM.png|right|link=Battlefield (SSBM)]] '''{{SSBM|Battlefield}}''' ([[Unlockable stage|Unlockable]]): The Fighting Polygon Stage from SSB returns with its popularized name of Battlefield. It is the site of many stages and events such as the Multi-Man Melee competitions and is where Fighting Wire Frames are always fought. Due to its basic and standard layout, the stage is very popular. Interesting to note: the emblem for this stage is not the normal ''Smash Bros.'' Emblem.
{{clr}}
*[[File:FinalDestinationIconSSBM.png|right|link=Final Destination (SSBM)]] '''{{SSBM|Final Destination}}''' ([[Unlockable stage|Unlockable]]): The Master Hand's Residence arena returns as the "final battle arena" of the game. The flat, featureless platform is where many single-player boss encounters take place, and it is also among the most popular stages for use in [[Tournament legal|tournaments]]. It floats through outer space, then seems to travel through a wormhole where it will then appear in an earth-like world where landscapes are visible in the background.{{clr}}

The following stages are more "mini-game"-centric stages featured as single-player content:
[[File:Iceclimbertargettest.jpg|50px|right]]
*'''Target Test''': Like in the previous game, each character has their own separate maze-like stage that is accessible as a single-player Target Test challenge in the Target Test mode. There is one stage for each character, and it is specifically constructed to test the character's ability to attack all ten targets in the stage as fast as possible in the time limit. The character will be required to go through his respective Target Test stage early in the game's Classic mode. A total of 25 target test stages reside in the game for normal play; a 26th is locked away, however, available only through hacking. This stage belongs to {{SSBM|Sheik}}, but it was cut, likely to encourage strategic [[transform]]ing.{{clr}}
[[File:RACE-NRML-SSBM.png|50px|right]]
*'''{{SSBM|Race to the Finish}}!''': The successor to the previous game's Race to the Finish, this stage is laid out very differently; it is now a left-to-right path dotted with potential exits, and the aim is to get as close to the end as possible in the time limit.{{clr}}
[[File:FIGUR-NRML-SSBM.png|50px|right]]
*'''[[Snag trophies!]]''': This bonus stage in Classic mode is a minigame in which a platform has a container of sorts in the middle, and three trophies will fall down from the sky. The character is to try and attack the falling trophies so they will fall into the container, in order to earn them, and collecting all three will yield the Collector bonus.{{clr}}
[[File:All Star Rest Area Melee.png|50px|right]]
*'''{{h1|All-Star Rest Area|In Super Smash Bros. Melee}}''': This grassland environment is the hub between matches in the All-Star Mode. It contains three [[Heart Container]]s and a portal in the center that transports the player to the next bout. In the background the progress of the All-Star Mode is displayed; trophies of the opponents defeated thus far stand on the ground, while portraits of the next opponents are displayed in the air above. This features music from the {{uv|Kirby}} series.{{clr}}
[[File:Home-Run Stadium SSBM.png|50px|right]]
*'''{{h1|Home-Run Stadium|In Melee}}''': This baseball stadium is the site of the [[Home-Run Contest]] mini-game. On an elevated platform, the [[Sandbag]] resides, and in ten seconds the character must damage it without knocking it off the platform, then use the nearby [[Home-Run Bat]] to send Sandbag flying east, where the distance traveled is recorded. The stage seems to stretch on endlessly to the east.{{clr}}

Like the previous game, there are some environments that can be seen only through hacking. [[TEST]] is a very wide white-ground stage with several aerial platforms shaped differently, with the background being a photo of a bar used as a test for rendering graphics. The name indicates that it was used for testing, like the previous [[Kirby Beta Stage 2]]. Hidden in the game's [[debug menu]] are the titles of two other stages that crash the game when selected: [[10-2]] and [[DUMMY]]. DUMMY can be opened up with a special hack, however, and the stage reveals itself to be completely empty, black space without any death-line borders. For fun, some players like to hack in death lines and activate an infinite double-jumping hack to allow for a completely aerial bout.

===Items===
<small>'''''Bold italics denote an item new to the ''Smash Bros.'' series.</small><br>
Compared to the characters and stages, ''Melee''{{'}}s collection of original items is not much different at all from its predecessor.
*'''[[Beam Sword]]''': Returns from ''Smash 64'' as a bludgeoning weapon, but the length of its blade now changes based on the power of the attack swinging it. Its power and knockback have been degraded to a large degree.
*'''[[Home-Run Bat]]''': Returns from ''Smash 64'' essentially unaltered.
*'''[[Fan]]''': Returns from ''Smash 64'' essentially unaltered.
*'''[[Ray Gun]]''': Returns from ''Smash 64'' essentially unaltered.
*'''[[Motion-Sensor Bomb]]''': Returns from ''Smash 64'', essentially unaltered. Curiously, its design changes depending on the version. In Japanese versions, the item uses its design from ''Perfect Dark'', while other versions retain its ''GoldenEye 007'' appearance.
*'''[[Crate]]''': Returns from ''Smash 64'' essentially unaltered.
*'''[[Barrel]]''': Returns from ''Smash 64'' essentially unaltered.
*'''[[Capsule]]''': Returns from ''Smash 64'' essentially unaltered.
*'''[[Egg]]''': Returns from ''Smash 64'' essentially unaltered.
*'''''[[Food]]''''': A new item that randomly spawns as tiny health-replenishers. There are 27 varieties of food in the game, and they restore usually 3% or so health per item.
*'''''[[Party Ball]]''''': A new containment unit, this is a big yellow ball that can be carried and hurled like the other containment units, but after it is thrown it will float up, make a noise, and open up to drop a bunch of stuff. Sometimes it drops random items, sometimes it drops a load of Food, and sometimes it drops [[Bob-omb]]s.

===Music===
*'''0: Opening''': The music heard during ''Melee''{{'}}s opening FMV, this is the official theme song of the game, orchestrated with slight bits of a chorus.
*'''51: Metal Battle''': Fast and heavy music that plays whenever the player confronts a metal opponent in single-player modes.
*'''52: Battlefield/Race to the Finish!''': A techno remix of the Menu 1 music, this is heard as the primary track on the {{SSBM|Battlefield}} stage outside the Multi-Man Melee mode, and in the {{SSBM|Race to the Finish}} mode.
*'''53: Final Destination''': This is a climactic orchestration of the ending credits music of the original ''SSB'', used as primary "final match" music only on the {{SSBM|Final Destination}} stage.
*'''54: Menu 1''': The epically orchestrated music heard as the primary track in ''Melee''{{'}}s menu screens. This has been remixed as stage music for {{SSBB|Battlefield}} in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
*'''55: Menu 2''': A more laid back track heard as the secondary track in the menu screens of ''Melee''. It is a medley of the official ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' opening theme and Menu 1.
*'''56: How to Play''': Music heard during the How to Play video within ''Melee''{{'}}s Archives section.
*'''57: Targets!/Home-Run Contest''': The techno music heard in almost all characters Target Test stages, as well as the [[Home-Run Contest]].
*'''58: Multi-Man Melee 1''': Synthesized rock variant of the opening theme, heard half the time in the Multi-Man Melee mode, and also as the secondary track of {{SSBM|Battlefield}} in Vs. mode.
*'''59: Multi-Man Melee 2''': A more fast-paced rock variant of the opening theme, heard half the time in the Multi-Man Melee mode, and also as the secondary track of {{SSBM|Final Destination}} in Vs. mode.
*'''61: Tournament 1''': Heavy music heard half the time outside of battle during a Tournament Melee.
*'''62: Tournament 2''': Heavy music heard half the time outside of battle during a Tournament Melee.
*'''63: Trophies!/Lottery''': Soft synthesized menu music heard at the [[Trophy Lottery]] and the [[Trophy Collector]].
*'''78: Warning Siren''': Troubling music heard during the part of the Adventure mode that occurs in the [[Brinstar Escape Shaft]].
In addition, a lot of tracks original to the ''Smash Bros.'' series are listed as "music", but do not loop and are merely short pieces meant to signify occurrences. These include '''64: Classic Intro''', '''65: Adventure Intro''', '''66: Stage Clear 1''', '''67: Stage Clear 2''', '''68: Continue?''', '''69: Game Over''', '''70: New Trophy!''', '''71: Rare Trophy''', '''72: Challenger!''', '''73: New Feature 1''', '''74: New Feature 2''', '''75: New Feature 3''', '''79: Trophy Fall Ending (SFX)''', '''80: Ending''', '''81: Master Hand Intro (SFX)''',  '''82: Crazy Hand Intro (SFX)''', '''83: Giga Bowser Intro (SFX)''', and '''84: Giga Bowser''' plays only when battling [[Giga Bowser]] in Final Destination.

===Trophies===
{{main|List of SSBM trophies (Super Smash Bros. series)}}

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
There were plenty of things introduced in the ''Smash Bros.'' series not introduced elsewhere appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Most prominent among them is a major single-player mode of the game called [[The Subspace Emissary]], a side-scrolling Adventure Mode game where characters contend with the machinations of an interdimensional force called the [[Subspace Army]]. None of the [[unlockable character]]s (if the Subspace Emissary method is not used) are unlocked on the stages {{SSBB|Battlefield}} or {{SSBB|Final Destination}} (as they are not considered home stages) except {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}, ''Super Smash Bros.'' universe stages on {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} only occur on the final two stages, and Battlefield and Final Destination are never fought in [[All-Star Mode]].

===Characters===
The following distinctive entities who are original to the series make big appearances:
*[[File:SandbagSSBB.jpg|50px|right|link=Sandbag]]'''[[Sandbag]]''': Sandbag reprises its role in the [[Home-Run Contest]], as well as appearing in the [[Online Practice Stage]], sometimes unofficially dubbed the "Wi-Fi Waiting Room". In both modes, it acts as it did in ''Melee'': immobile and living up to its name as a punching bag. In addition, it appears in the main modes of play as an item, which releases other items when hit - a property exploited in "[[CD Factories]]". Like all returnees, it has a more detailed model than it did in ''Melee''.{{clr}}
*[[File:MasterHandBrawl.jpg|50px|right|link=Master Hand (SSBB)]]'''{{SSBB|Master Hand}}''': Reprises his role as the boss of the {{SSBB|Classic Mode}}, as well as making an appearance in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]]. Also serves as the "narrator" during matches.{{clr}}
*[[File:CrazyHand.jpg|50px|right|link=Crazy Hand (SSBB)]]'''{{SSBB|Crazy Hand}}''': Reprises his role as Master Hand's partner in classic mode, though he does not appear in the Subspace Emissary.{{clr}}
*[[File:TabuuOfficial.png|50px|right|link=Tabuu]]'''[[Tabuu]]''': The final boss of the Subspace Emissary.

===Bosses===
Of the ten bosses in ''Brawl'' (all fought in the [[Boss Battles Mode]]), five are original characters while the other five hail from other game franchises:

*[[File:Duon.jpg|50px|right|link=Duon]][[Duon]]{{clr}}
*[[File:Galleom.jpg|50px|right|link=Galleom]][[Galleom]]{{clr}}
*[[File:MasterHandBrawl.jpg|50px|right|link=Master Hand (SSBB)]]{{SSBB|Master Hand}}{{clr}}
*[[File:CrazyHand.jpg|50px|right|link=Crazy Hand (SSBB)]]{{SSBB|Crazy Hand}}{{clr}}
*[[File:TabuuOfficial.png|50px|right|link=Tabuu]][[Tabuu]]{{clr}}

===Common Enemies===
In [[The Subspace Emissary]], characters are to contend with all sorts of common enemies, with many classes and distinctive builds of generic enemies and obstacles new to the ''Smash Bros.'' universe seen in screenshots and trailers. The most notable example is a type of dark robot that was shown on Super Smash Bros. DOJO!! in a mini-trailer and was later identified as the '''[[Primid]]'''. [[R.O.B.]]s are also seen as henchmen whose purpose is to detonate weapons of the Army called [[Subspace Bomb]]s. However, the R.O.B. is a part of the {{Uv|R.O.B.}} universe.

===Fighting Team Characters===
*[[File:SSBU spirit Fighting Alloy Team.png|50px|right|link=Fighting Alloy Team]]'''[[Fighting Alloy Team]]''': The spiritual successors to the first game's Fighting Polygon Team and ''Melee''{{'}}s Fighting Wire Frames. This time around, they come in four distinct types: Red Alloy, Blue Alloy, Yellow Alloy, and Green Alloy. Red and Blue Alloys have limited movesets taken from {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}} and {{SSBB|Zelda}} respectively, like the Fighting Wire Frames, while Yellow and Green Alloys have limited movesets taken from {{SSBB|Mario}} and {{SSBB|Kirby}} respectively. They only appear in the [[Multi-Man Brawl]] mode.

===Stages===
*[[File:Icon-battlefield.gif|right|link=Battlefield (SSBB)]]'''{{SSBB|Battlefield}}''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): The earliest stage revealed for this game is a newly visually designed version of the Battlefield stage from ''Melee'', with natural and architectural elements and floating above an expansive canyon below. It goes through a day and night cycle.{{clr}}
*[[File:Icon-finaldestination.gif|right|link=Final Destination (SSBB)]]'''{{SSBB|Final Destination}}''' ([[Starter stage|Starter]]): Like Battlefield before it, Final Destination has been visually redesigned for ''Brawl''. It still serves as the location of the battle against Master Hand. Unlike the previous game, this and Battlefield are considered starter stages.

The following stages appear in Classic Mode & other single-player or co-op modes.
'''[[Target Smash!]]''': There are 5 difficulty target smash stages in all, in lieu of character-specific Target Test stages.

'''[[All-Star Rest Area]]''' returns in ''Brawl'', and also in Boss Battles Mode, with a new background and floating platforms for [[Heart Container]]s.{{clr}}

[[File:Tabuu stage.png|50px|right]]
'''[[Tabuu's Residence]]''' is the final part of The Great Maze in the Subspace Emissary and is home to Tabuu.{{clr}}

===Items===
<small>'''''Bold italics''''' denote an item new to the ''Smash Bros.'' series.</small>
*'''[[Beam Sword]]''': Returns from ''Melee'' seemingly unaltered.
*'''[[Home-Run Bat]]''': Returns from ''Melee'', although the windup time for the smash attack is much longer.
*'''[[Fan]]''': Returns from ''Melee'' seemingly unaltered.
*'''[[Bumper]]''': The classic bumping item from the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' finally makes a return appearance with the same functionality and the added function of being able to be placed in midair like ''Melee''{{'}}s [[Flipper]].

*'''[[Crate]]''': Returns from ''Melee'', although it comes in several varieties now, any of which may be on wheels.

*'''''[[Assist Trophy]]''''': A special trophy that, when grabbed, brings a random helper into the battle for a short period of time. While technically a ''Smash Bros.'' item, its main purpose is to summon characters from various other Nintendo and third-party franchises.
*'''''[[Sandbag]]''''': The Sandbag from Home-Run Contest also appears as an item. Players can hit it to release other items, as well as [[CD]]s. 
*'''''[[Gooey Bomb]]''''': A spherical explosive encased in a gooey bubble. It is a variant on the old [[Motion-Sensor Bomb]] in that it is an explosive that can be thrown at something, it will stick to it, and explode after a certain period of time. The Gooey Bomb, however, can now stick to characters the bomb is thrown at, and it has a chance to transfer between characters when characters pass by each other.
*'''''[[Cracker Launcher]]''''': A large cylindrical cannon that launches firework projectiles.  Unlike most projectile items, it can be aimed vertically.
*'''''[[Smoke Ball]]''''': A non-damaging device that emits thick smoke to distract and disorient combatants. It can be picked up and thrown again while it's emitting its contents.  It can also be stuck to players.
*'''''[[Blast Box]]''''': Very poor throwing distance. Explodes upon taking 30% damage or a [[flame]] attack.
*'''''Rolling Crate''''': When thrown, struck, or landing on a hill, it will roll across the stage and damage what it hits without breaking, though it will break with enough force. Can be stood on.
*'''''[[Team Healer]]''''': Heals teammates when thrown at them. When thrown at opponents, can heal or damage them at random. Only appears during team battles.
*'''''[[Timer]]''''': Slows down all opponents. Can backfire and slow down the user, or slow down the entire game.

*'''{{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}''': The Mii Fighters are [[Mii]]s which are revealed during the ''Nintendo Digital Event'' during [[E3]] 2014. There are three versions of the Mii Fighter: the {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}, the {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}, and the {{SSB4|Mii Gunner}}. While not created for the ''Smash'' universe, Mii Fighters use the ''Smash Bros.'' symbol and a new victory theme based on a remix of the ''Smash 4'' theme, making them the first playable fighter of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' universe.{{clr}}
