Sakurai, however, felt that the game could not provide the proper atmosphere on a home console without a recognizable cast. Nintendo characters were soon added and the game was redesigned and renamed.<ref name=iwataasks>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080409211613/http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/ssbb/vol7_page1.jsp Wii.com] (Accessed on 9-18-08)</ref> A few screenshots of ''Dragon King'' have been released, and footage of the prototype was shown on Sakurai's YouTube Channel, ''Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games''. | ||

*Every character has an unused animation that will instantly KO them when activated, similar to the [[instant KO]] in later installments. It is unsure what the animation was for, but it is speculated it was going to be for an unused stage KO feature, possibly activated if a character was eaten by a Piranha Plant or sank in Planet Zebes' acid.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_dkxmXKKBI]</ref> | *Every character has an unused animation that will instantly KO them when activated, similar to the [[instant KO]] in later installments.

*A talk between Masahiro Sakurai and Satoru Iwata states that Sakurai intended to add [[Final Smashes]] in the game. While he did record some dialogue for them, limitations of the Nintendo 64 prevented their inclusion; Final Smashes later became a reality nine years later with the release of ''Brawl''.<ref name=iwataasks/> While the sound effects of these Final Smashes are not accessible through normal play, they can be found through Debug Menu. These sounds include {{SSB|Ness}} yelling, "[[PK Starstorm]]!", {{SSB|Pikachu}} [[Volt Tackle|charging energy]] and {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} yelling [[Blue Falcon|"Come on!" & "Blue Falcon!"]] (the latter exclusive to the Japanese version). Other characters heard include {{SSB|Fox}}, {{SSB|Kirby}} and {{SSB|Samus}}. | *A talk between Masahiro Sakurai and Satoru Iwata states that Sakurai intended to add [[Final Smashes]] in the game.

*Both {{SSB|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSB|Pikachu}} have leftover data of an unused alternate costume for each of them. These would be their fourth alternate costume, although only three are accessible in a free for all battle. Pikachu's fourth alternate costume was to be a yellow party hat, and Jigglypuff's fourth alternate costume was to be a yellow bow. These alternate costumes are not accessible through debug mode, but if they are accessed through other means, the skin hues for both Pikachu}} and Jigglypuff will be abnormal, but the hat or bow will remain green. Normally, invalid alternate costumes would yield a corrupted stock icon and the latest occurring costume, but Jigglypuff and Pikachu are the only exceptions to this rule. | *Both {{SSB|Jigglypuff}} and {{SSB|Pikachu}} have leftover data of an unused alternate costume for each of them.

*Sakurai mentioned that he considered having {{SSB|Fox}}'s alternate costumes being based off of other members of the Star Fox team, [[Falco Lombardi]] (who became playable starting in ''Melee''), [[Peppy Hare]], and [[Slippy Toad]], but Sakurai decided against it and used the ones that were completely original to the game due to the fact that Slippy didn't have a moveset like the others. Starting from ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the concept of a fighter with different characters as alternate costumes would be reutilized for various characters, such as [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Olimar]], [[Hero]] and [[Steve]].<ref>https://sourcegaming.info/2015/03/30/smash-reader-response-page-5/</ref> | *Sakurai mentioned that he considered having {{SSB|Fox}}'s alternate costumes being based off of other members of the Star Fox team, [[Falco Lombardi]] (who became playable starting in ''Melee''), [[Peppy Hare]], and [[Slippy Toad]], but Sakurai decided against it and used the ones that were completely original to the game due to the fact that Slippy didn't have a moveset like the others.
