Editing User:Aidanzapunk/List of non-gaming media representation

{{draft}}
<!--NOTE: this list should not include media that is referenced within the franchises that appear in Smash; this is instead a list of media that is referenced within Smash itself. As an example, something like an anime adaptation of a series would fit here, but noting something like the Persona 3 protagonist's headphones being based on a real-world headset or the Donkey Kong arcade game originally being based on Popeye wouldn't.-->
This is a list of non-gaming media that has been represented in the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series, whether acknowledged or not. This includes films, TV shows, literature, music, and other non-gaming media. Such representation can be subtle inspiration for original elements all the way to directly implementing the ideas of another creator. Due to the inherently communal nature of popular culture, it is common for aspects of otherwise unrelated media, espically those in the public domain, to reappear in newer media. The ''Smash'' franchise and the franchises that are represented within it are no exceptions.

'''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.

==Gaming-related media==
Many video game franchises represented in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series have received movie, television or comic book adaptations; certain elements originating from these adaptations have then made their way into ''Smash''.
*'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Bayonetta: Bloody Fate}}''''': [[Bayonetta]]'s and [[Rodin]]'s Japanese voice actors, Atsuko Tanaka and Tesshō Genda, reprise their roles from the movie, as well as the Japanese dubs of ''Bayonetta'' and ''Bayonetta 2''. Game director Hideki Kamiya was initially against having a Japanese voice cast, and thus left one out of the first game, but he enjoyed the movie's cast enough to retain them for ''Bayonetta 2'' and retroactively dub the Wii U re-release of ''Bayonetta'' in Japanese.
*'''''{{iw|fzerowiki|F-Zero: GP Legend}}''''': Zoda's [[List of SSB4 trophies (F-Zero series)|trophy description in ''Smash 4'']] references Zoda being modified by Black Shadow, a plot point in ''F-Zero: GP Legend''.
*'''''[[F-Zero]]'' manual comic''': The [[Falcon Flyer]], which appears on [[Big Blue]] and during [[The Subspace Emissary]], originates from this comic book. It has never been featured in an ''F-Zero'' game.
*'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture}}''''': One of [[Terry Bogard]]'s costumes in ''Ultimate'' is indirectly based upon his appearance in the film, using the same metal plate on his hat but overall featuring a differing color scheme.
*'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children}}''''': Four of [[Cloud]]'s costumes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' are directly based on his "Cloudy Wolf" costume; in ''Ultimate'', these costumes were updated to use [[Omnislash Ver. 5]] as a Final Smash. Sephiroth's default costume in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is based on his appearance in this film, with voice actor {{iw|wikipedia|Toshiyuki Morikawa}} reprising his role. The music tracks {{SSBUMusicLink|Final Fantasy|Those Who Fight (AC Version)}}, {{SSBUMusicLink|Final Fantasy|Those Who Fight Further (AC Version)}}, and {{SSBUMusicLink|Final Fantasy|Advent: One-Winged Angel}} are taken directly from the film's soundtrack.
*'''''{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem|anime}}''''': [[Marth]]'s Japanese voice actor, Hikaru Midorikawa, reprises his role from the original video animation.
*'''''{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem Trading Card Game}}''''': The [[spirits]] of Jagen, Draug, Bord & Cord & Barst, Julius, Wrys and Medeus use their artwork from this card game.
*'''''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby: Right Back at Ya!}}''''': In Japanese, [[Meta Knight]] and [[Knuckle Joe]] are voiced by their actors from the {{uv|Kirby}} anime. Additionally, [[Galaxia]], Meta Knight's sword, got its name and design from the anime. [[Nightmare]]'s current appearance originates from the anime, which was already adopted by the games starting with ''Nightmare in Dream Land''. The song ''{{SSBBMusicLink|Kirby|Checker Knights}}'' also originally debuted in the anime, though its appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' derives from ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Air Ride}}''.
*'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Pac-Man (TV series)}}''''': [[Pac-Land]], which the eponymous stage is based on, was created as a tie-in to the cartoon series of the game.
*'''''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon the Series}}''''': Many species from the {{uv|Pokémon}} universe are voiced by their anime actors, usually saying their names like in the anime (with some exceptions, such as Meowth). {{iw|wikipedia|4Kids Entertainment}}, who produced the series' international dubs until 2006, is credited for their work on the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.<!--Do not add the fact that some Pokémon debuted in the anime before appearing in their intended Generation, as they are intended to be "sneak peeks" of the upcoming Generation, thus calling them representatives of the anime is inaccurate.-->
**'''''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon the Series: The Beginning}}''''': Professor Oak and Misty's trophies in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' are based on [[bulbapedia:Professor Oak (anime)|their]] [[bulbapedia:Misty (anime)|appearances]] in the anime. Additionally, [[Meowth]]'s trophy in ''Melee'' is based on Meowth's appearance in {{iw|bulbapedia|Meowth's Party}}, the seventh ending animation for the anime; this Meowth is the same talking one from Team Rocket. {{iw|bulbapedia|Ash Ketchum}}, the anime's protagonist, is directly mentioned in [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s trophy description in ''Smash 4'', which also quotes the {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Theme}}; in ''Ultimate'', the theme is referenced again, in the Pokémon Trainer's Boxing Ring title. Additionally, both {{SSBU|Pikachu}}'s Classic Mode title and the Pokémon Trainer's [[Crowd|crowd chant]] in ''Ultimate'' reference the anime's usage of "I choose you!" when Ash throws out a Pokémon. [[Goldeen]]'s appearance as a Poké Ball summon is based on Misty's Goldeen in the anime, who was notable for being completely useless on land and would only be able to flop around. [[Pichu]]'s mechanic in which its electric attacks hurt itself is an element that originated in the ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pikachu & Pichu}}'' short. The bonus for [[Star KO|Star KO'ing]] all members of a team in ''Melee'' is named "Rocket KO", which is named after [[Team Rocket]] (particularly, Jessie, James, and Meowth), who are often involved in a recurring gag in which they are sent flying into the sky, leaving behind a twinkling star when they vanish from sight. In the [[Palutena's Guidance]] for {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Pit}} calls the trainer a "twerp", similar to the nickname used for Ash Ketchum by Team Rocket.
**'''''[[bulbapedia:M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''''': [[Mewtwo]]'s portrayal starting in ''Melee'' is linked to its appearance in the movie, as implied by its Japanese voice lines, as well as its voice actor in ''Melee'', Masachika Ichimura, who reprises his role from the original Japanese cast of the movie. [[Shadow Ball]] was first used by Mewtwo in this movie, before appearing in ''Pokémon Gold & Silver''. Mewtwo's reveal slogan in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' is the same as the subtitle of this film. 
**'''''[[bulbapedia:M01|Pokémon The Movie 2000: The Power of One]]''''': [[Zapdos]]' [[List of SSB4 trophies (Pokémon series)|trophy description in the 3DS version of ''Smash 4'']] alludes to this movie.
**'''''[[bulbapedia:M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''''':  The Latias and Latios spirit battle is on Delfino Plaza, which references Alto Mare.
**'''''[[bulbapedia:M08|Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''''': [[Lucario]]'s portrayal starting in ''Brawl'' is linked to its appearance in the movie, as implied by its Japanese voice actor, Daisuke Namikawa, who reprises his role from the film; other generic Lucario appear throughout the series (voiced in English by Bill Rogers, who voiced Lucario in ''Brawl''), but Namikawa specifically voiced the Lucario from the film, though Namikawa would later voice {{iw|bulbapedia|Gurkinn}}'s Lucario in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon the Series: XY}}'', as well as Ash's Lucario in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}'' (with both also being voiced in English by Rogers). Sean Schemmel, the English voice of Lucario from the film, would later reprise his role in ''Smash 4'' as Lucario, and Gerhard Jilka, the German voice of Lucario from the film, reprises his role in all of Lucario's appearances. Other references to the film include one of Lucario's victory quotes, "The aura is with me!" (which also appears as the name of [[Event 25: The Aura Is With Me|''Brawl''{{'}}s 25th event]]), as well as [[:File:SSB4-Wii U Congratulations All-Star Lucario.png|Lucario's All-Star congratulations screen]] in ''Smash Wii U''.
**'''''[[bulbapedia:M16|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''''': Mewtwo's Boxing Ring title directly references the film's title.
**'''''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon the Series: XY}}''''': {{iw|bulbapedia|Ash-Greninja}}, a form obtained by Ash Ketchum and [[bulbapedia:Ash's Greninja|his Greninja]], makes an appearance in ''Ultimate'' in [[Greninja]]'s [[Final Smash]], [[Secret Ninja Attack]], with Greninja transforming into such when activating the attack. 
*'''''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}''''': [[Thunder Jolt]] debuted as a move on the [[bulbapedia:Pikachu (Base Set 58)|original Pikachu card]].
*'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Sonic Underground}}''''': Jonatán López, [[Sonic]]'s original Spanish voice actor from the show, began voicing the character in the games' Spanish dubs from ''{{iw|wikipedia|Sonic Generations}}'' onwards until his death in 2020; as the voice clips from those games are reused in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', López reprises his role as Sonic from ''Underground''.
*'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Sonic X}}''''': Jason Griffith, Sonic and [[Shadow]]'s voice actor from the anime (who later carried over into the {{uv|Sonic the Hedgehog}} video games, alongside the rest of the 4Kids cast, starting with ''{{iw|wikipedia|Shadow the Hedgehog|video game}}'' and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Sonic Rush}}'' before being replaced in ''{{iw|wikipedia|Sonic Free Riders}}''), reprised his role as both characters in ''Brawl''. From ''Sonic Generations'' onwards, the ''Sonic'' cast has been dubbed in Spanish, French, German, and Italian, with the French and German voice casts from ''Sonic X'' (barring a few characters) reprising their roles. Because the voice clips from those games are reused in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', Alexandre Gillet and Marc Stachel, Sonic's French and German actors, reprise their roles from the anime, as does Benoît DuPac, Shadow's French actor. Sébastien Desjours and Claus-Peter Damitz, [[Knuckles]]'s French and German voice actors, also reprise their roles from the anime in ''Ultimate''.
*'''''Street Fighter III: Ryu Final''''': The animation of Ryu's Focus Attack is based on the ''Kaze no Kobushi'', an attack that was created for this manga and has since been frequently referenced, but not directly used, in the ''Street Fighter'' games.
*'''''Street Fighter Alpha'' (1996 manga)''': The [[Shin Shoryuken]] debuted in this manga, where it was used by Ryu in his final fight against M. Bison. However, instead of the strong 3-hit combo seen in games like ''{{iw|wikipedia|Street Fighter III}}'', it was simply a single strong [[Shoryuken]] with lightning effects. Some games, like the ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' series and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Street Fighter 6}}'', combine the strong 3-hit combo with the lightning effects from the manga.
*'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Street Fighter: Sakura Ganbaru!}}''''': Karin Kanzuki, a character who debuted in this manga adaptation, appears as a Spirit.
*'''''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!}}''''': One of [[Luigi]]'s costumes in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' is reminiscent to his appearance in the movie.
*'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Tekken: Blood Vengeance}}''''': The artwork used for Nina William's spirit in ''Ultimate'' is sourced from this movie.

==Promotional media==
Content that, while not itself a video game, exists primarily to market other entities within its series as opposed to standing as its own work.
*'''Bandai Namco merchandising''': [[Pac-Man]]'s spirit uses artwork from a 2010s promotion.
*'''{{iw|wikipedia|E3}}''': a former video game industry trade event hosted between 1995 and 2021. E3 is namedropped in ''Ultimate'', as {{SSBUMusicLink|Sonic The Hedgehog|His World (Theme of Sonic the Hedgehog - 2006 E3 Version)|the version of ''His World''}} featured in the game is from the 2006 game ''Sonic the Hedgehog''{{'}}s E3 reveal trailer and denotes such in the title, though the track's name lacks this in both ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''; it is also namedropped in ''Brawl''{{'}}s [[Movies]] menu as the title of the game's reveal trailer.
*'''''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty - The Other Side''''': The version of the music track ''{{SSBBMusicLink|Metal Gear|Yell "Dead Cell"}}'' used in ''Brawl'' and ''Ultimate'' is the slightly altered version from this album.
*'''''{{iw|wikibound|Mother 1+2 (soundtrack)}}''''': The remix of ''{{SSBBMusicLink|EarthBound|Humoresque of a Little Dog}}'' includes an extra line that comes from the version on this album.
*'''''{{iw|wikibound|Mother 3+}}''''': The track ''{{SSBBMusicLink|EarthBound|Snowman}}'' is pulled from this album, with additional choral vocals at the beginning.
*'''Nintendo commercials and trailers''': 
**Multiple Spirit events related to consoles are named after commercial slogans for said hardware - [[Classics!|Now You're Playing With Power]] (NES), [[Now You're Playing with Portable Power!]] (Game Boy), and [[Get N or Get Out]] (Nintendo 64). 
**Captain Falcon's black alternate costume from ''Smash 64'' is taken from a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTtQYuWbYZo Japanese commercial] for ''F-Zero X''.<ref name="64colors">https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/Color.html</ref>

**The artwork of [[Nikki]]'s spirit comes from the Nintendo News section of the Nintendo website.

*'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Godzilla|franchise}}''''': A long running kaiju/tokusatsu franchise, which spawned from a drama/horror movie from 1954 inspired by the 1945 bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the 1953 movie ''The Beast from 50,000 Fathoms''. A few Pokémon, such as [[Palkia]] and [[Solgaleo]], use modified versions of some of the monster's roars, taken directly from the 2006 CD ''Godzilla: Sound EFX / BGM on Japanese Film''. One of [[Rathalos]]' roars samples {{iw|wikipedia|King Ghidorah}}'s roar from the 1991 film ''{{iw|wikipedia|Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah}}''.
