Editing User:BubzieBobkat/List of by-technicality playable characters

The following is a list of characters who are playable in ''Smash'' without modding or glitches by some kind of technicality or close proximity.

Major WIP, I plan to add infoboxes and descriptions gradually, but for now the emphasis is on explanations of this status.

===Dark [[Fox]], [[Falco]], and [[Wolf]]===
Dark Fox is an official title from Sakurai, wheras Falco and Wolf's equivalents are simply implied.
===[[Dark Pit]] (''Brawl'')===

Titled by Sakurai
===Yeti [[Donkey Kong]]===
Titled by Sakurai
==Non-specific alt costumes==
===Ethnic characters===
The following characters have alternate costumes that make them appear to be a different ethnicity, it can be reasonably assumed these are seperate characters, as the alternative would be offensive.
*[[Alex]]
*[[Dark Pit]]
*[[Inkling]]
*[[Ken]]
*[[Pokémon Trainer]] 
*[[Villager]]
Also of note is that, in Brawl, there exists an alternate costume for Olimar with a foggy helmet, that some have interpreted as being a dark-skinned Olimar.
===Gender variance===
The following characters have alternate costumes that swap their gender.
*[[Byleth]]
*[[Corrin]]
*[[Inkling]]
*[[Pikachu]]
*[[Pokémon Trainer]]
*[[Robin]]
*[[Villager]]
*[[Wii Fit Trainer]]
It should be noted that [[Corrin]] and [[Byleth]]'s trailers both imply that their respective subjects are genderfluid in the context of ''Smash'', which may or may not apply to other characters.

==World of Light==
See [[Spirits with overworld effects]]. The only spirits featured in this article that will be listed here are ones that summon or function as some kind of vehicle.

Also note that, per the lore of ''World of Light'', it could be argued that all Primary spirits are playable through possession.
