The Vault Boy is the mascot of the company Vault-Tec from the ''Fallout'' franchise by | The Vault Boy is the mascot of the company Vault-Tec from the ''Fallout'' franchise by Bethesda. Vault-Tec designed post-apocalyptic shelters called Vaults to enable humanity to survive in the aftermath of a worldwide nuclear war, though the majority of these Vaults were in reality controlled, often unethical human experiments. The Vault Boy illustrates character statistics and selectable attributes, and from ''Fallout 3'' onward, models wearable equipment. Vault Boy should not be confused with the Pip Boy; the wearable computer used by the player to access their inventory. | ||

A [[DLC]] costume for {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}} based on the Vault Boy was announced on June 22nd, 2020, and was made available for purchase on June 29th, 2020. Like [[Sans]] and [[Cuphead]] before him, Vault Boy appears as a fully modelled character. His "mask" is just his head instead of a mask with the Mii's head visible. His gun appears to be based off the generic gun he is depicted with on the Energy Weapons bobblehead, a collectible item in the ''Fallout'' games. His Vault Suit is labeled '111' on the back, a reference to the Sole Survivor's vault in ''Fallout 4''. Unlike Sans and Cuphead, Vault Boy does not come with a music track, possibly due to most of the music in the ''Fallout'' series being licensed music. | A [[DLC]] costume for {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}} based on the Vault Boy was announced on June 22nd, 2020, and was made available for purchase on June 29th, 2020.

Finally, Vault Boy stands besides {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}}. This is a reference to {{iw|wikipedia|Dogmeat|Fallout}}, a recurring dog companion throughout the ''Fallout'' series. | ||
