'''James Bond''' is a literary spy created by British author Ian Fleming. The first book, ''Casino Royale'', published in 1953, spawned a gargantuan multi-media franchise, with many books, movies, and video games. One of the video games, based on the movie ''GoldenEye'', was ''[[GoldenEye (universe)|GoldenEye 007]]'', developed for the [[Nintendo 64]] by [[Rare Ltd.]]. The [[Motion-Sensor Bomb]], an item originating from ''GoldenEye 007'', appears in ''Super Smash Bros.'' and the Western releases of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' (in the Japanese release, it is based on an original Rare game, {{uv|Perfect Dark}}). However, references by name to the game in ''Smash'' were minimized, and from ''Brawl'' onwards, the Motion-Sensor Bomb has been redesigned and treated as an original item.

In an official poll held on ''[[Smabura-Ken]]'' regarding characters for a potential sequel, [[wikipedia:Portrayal of James Bond in film|James Bond]] placed sixth overall with 35 votes, tied with [[Mewtwo]] from {{uv|Pokémon}}.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult2.html Super Smash Bros. questionnaire]</ref> The poll also included agent 006 {{iw|wikipedia|Alec Trevelyan}}, who received 2 votes and was tied with a non-specified ''Blast Corps'' robot for fourth place among Rare characters.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult3.html Super Smash Bros. questionnaire]</ref> Sakurai stated that he did not include James Bond owing to concerns over Bond's realistic weaponry that included handguns and similar items. Furthermore, the copyright to the game would be owned by Rare, and a number of other copyright issues, such as those involving the likeness of his actor, {{iw|wikipedia|Pierce Brosnan}}, and rights involving the film series itself, would have led to numerous legal challenges in development of ''Melee''.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return526.html</ref>

'''Yume Kōjō '87''' ({{ja|夢工場'87|Yume Kōjō '87}}, ''Dream Factory '87'') was an event sponsored by Fuji TV and held from July 18th to August 30th, 1987. On the last day of this event, there was a grand finale<ref>Gaijillionaire (July 17, 2016), [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL9o9zzCUsQ Yume Kojo! Not The Story of Super Mario Bros 2 vs Doki Doki Panic Nintendo NES History Fuji TV ｜　Gテレ]</ref> meant to introduce a new generation of media that would arrive in the years to come, with various technical displays, as well as to advertise Fuji TV's fall lineup of shows. The characters of Papa, Mama, Imajin, Lina, Poki, and Piki, as well as the use of masks as a visual motif, originate from this technology expo.<!--This paragraph was more-or-less copy/pasted from Super Mario Wiki; could we rewrite this and/or expand upon it?-->

As part of a deal with Fujji TV, Nintendo developed a licensed game called ''{{iw|mariowiki|Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic}}'' ({{ja|夢工場 ドキドキパニック|Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panikku}}, ''Dream Factory: Heart-Pounding Panic'') to promote Yume Kōjō '87. The Yume Kōjō mascots Papa, Mama, Imajin, and Lina form the playable roster, each with their own set of abilities: Papa is the strongest and fastest; Mama has a high, floaty jump; Imajin is well-rounded overall; and Lina is capable of [[floating]] in midair. In addition, Nintendo created a storybook setting for this licensed game, populated with an entirely original cast of enemies including [[Shy Guy|Shyguys]]<!--"Shy Guy" was originally written as one word-->, [[Birdo]]s, [[Pidgit]]s, [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Snifit]]s, [[Mouser]]s, and [[Wart|Mamu]]. The Yume Kōjō '87 mascots can fight these enemies by throwing [[vegetable]]s or [[POW Block]]s plucked from {{b|grass|item}}.

With Fuji TV and Yume Kōjō '87 being exclusive to Japan, ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' was never officially released internationally. Instead, it was rebranded as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', with the most significant change being replacing the licensed Yume Kōjō '87 mascots with Nintendo's own {{uv|Mario}} cast. Papa, Mama, Imajin, and Lina's abilities have become staples of the ''Mario'' characters and carried over into their ''Super Smash Bros.'' appearances, most notably [[Princess Peach]] inheriting Lina's floating ability. [[Mario]] being a well-rounded character like Imajin and [[Luigi]] being a higher, floatier jumper like Mama, while having precedent in the Japan-exclusive ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' (later released internationally as ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels}}''), are also further established in this game. The original music, setting, and enemies created for ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' have likewise become mainstays within the ''Mario'' series and have been represented in ''Super Smash Bros.'', most notably with the [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] stage.

Although the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series usually credits ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' (or ''Super Mario Bros. USA'' in Japan) as the first appearance of elements from this universe, it has occasionally referenced ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and, by extension, the original Yume Kōjō '87 event that serves as its basis. Shy Guy and Birdo's respective [[trophy|trophies]] in {{forwiiu}} both mention these characters' debut in the non-''Mario'' game ''Doki Doki Panic''; however, these mentions omit the ''Yume Kōjō'' portion of the game's title, presumably due to licensing concerns.
