'''''Goemon''''' ({{ja|がんばれゴエモン|Ganbare Goemon}}, ''Go For It, Goemon!'') is an action-adventure series made by [[Konami]]. Although Konami mostly regards the series as largely too culturally based to be released worldwide, several games have been released to the west: one for the Super NES (''The Legend of the Mystical Ninja'' in 1991), two for the Nintendo 64 (''Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon'' in 1997, and ''Goemon's Great Adventure'' in 1999), and two for the Game Boy (the first in 1991, as part of ''Konami GB Collection Vol. 3'', and ''Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon'' in 1997, the former of which was released in Europe but not in America). The series is mainly action-adventure oriented, although the series has dipped its toes into other genres, such as role-playing games and puzzle games.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Anarchy Reigns}}''''' is an open world beat 'em up game developed by PlatinumGames and published by Sega. The [[:File:SSBU spirit Bayonetta (Bayonetta).png|fighter spirit artwork]] of {{SSBU|Bayonetta}} from the first ''{{iw|wikipedia|Bayonetta|video game}}'' game, as well as some of her [[alternate costume]]s, come from this game.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Dance Dance Revolution}}''''' is a series of dance rhythm games by [[Konami]] and one of many franchises developed by {{s|wikipedia|Bemani}}. A [[:File:Brawl Sticker Bowser (DDR Mario Mix).png|sticker of]] {{SSBB|Bowser}} uses artwork from ''{{s|mariowiki|Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix}}''. {{SSBU|Mario}}'s down smash in ''Ultimate'' also resembles his breakdancing on that game's cover art, as opposed to just his leg sweep from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' as it was prior.

*'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Ehrgeiz}}''''' is a 3D arena fighting game made by DreamFactory, developer of the Tobal series, and released jointly by [[Square]] and [[Namco]] in December 1998. It featured characters from ''Final Fantasy VII'' like {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSBU|Sephiroth}} as guest fighters. Some of Cloud's and Sephiroth's moves (which also may have been borrowed from the ''Tekken'' and ''Tobal'' games due to ''Ehrgeiz'' reusing a lot of animations from those games), such as their down tilts and Sephiroth's forward smash, originated from this game. The animation of the last three hits of [[Cross Slash]] is based on its animation from this game.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Final Fight}}''''' is a series of beat-em-up games made by [[Capcom]]. The series is a spinoff of {{uv|Street Fighter}}, hence why Cody Travers, one of the series' protagonists, appears as a playable character in several ''Street Fighter'' games and receives a spirit in ''Ultimate'', referencing his appearance in ''{{s|wikipedia|Street Fighter Alpha 3}}''.

The series is also indirectly referenced by [[Palutena's Guidance]] in the conversation about Ryu.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Meteos}}''''' is a series of puzzle games developed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]] and originally released for the Nintendo DS. The [[X Bomb]]'s behavior in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is similar to that of the item of the same name in ''Meteos'', in which it explodes in a cross shape rather than exhibit its behavior from ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}''.

*'''''[[wikipedia:Mickey Mouse universe|Mickey Mouse]]''''' is the mascot franchise of [[The Walt Disney Company]]. While most of the pre-existing Disney material featured in {{uv|Kingdom Hearts}} is not referenced in ''Super Smash Bros.'', the keychain on [[Sora]]'s [[Keyblade]] still bears the signature tri-circle {{s|wikipedia|Hidden Mickey}} logo. Several video games starring Mickey Mouse are also listed in the [[Chronicle]].

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Pulseman}}''''' is a platformer game developed by [[Game Freak]] for the Sega Mega Drive.

Anne” comes from the name of the host computer “Saint Anne”. So the designs aren’t the only way the two games are connected. That’s true. }}</ref> sharing the same name in Japanese.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Sid Meier's Pirates!}}''''' is a pirate-based strategy game originally developed by MicroProse for a selection of computer platforms. The opening of the final boss theme from ''Donkey Kong Country'', featured in the songs [[List of SSBB Music (Donkey Kong series)|King K. Rool / Ship Deck 2]], [[List of SSBU Music (Donkey Kong series)|Snakey Chantey, and Gangplank Galleon]], is taken from Rare's NES conversion of the game, which was also composed by David Wise.

*'''''[[wikipedia:Omega Force#Games|Warriors]]''''' is a hack-and-slash series by Omega Force (stylized as ω-Force) and Koei Tecmo (previously Koei prior to their merger with Tecmo). Originally a spin-off to Koei's ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms'' series titled ''Dynasty Warriors'', the game would spawn an entire sub-series of games under the ''Warriors'' title or otherwise have the same type of gameplay. While the first game in the series is a one-on-one fighting game, its sequels and spin-offs adopted the style of the player controlling several generals on an open map and mowing down hordes of enemies while simultaneously managing the positions and actions of allied forces until the enemy has fallen or surrendered. The franchise includes having crossovers with franchises such as ''Dragon Quest'', {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}, ''Fire Emblem'', and ''Persona''. Spirits from ''{{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity}}'' appeared in ''Ultimate'' via a [[Spirit Board]] event. Additionally, Sophia from ''{{s|wikipedia|Persona 5 Strikers}}'', a ''Persona 5'' spin-off, is available as a spirit for those who have save data from the game in the system. She would be available to purchase from the [[Shop]] as of version 12.0.0.

[[Mushroom Kingdom II]] is based on the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of the game, and characters from the game such as [[Birdo]], [[Pidgit]] and [[Shy Guy]] have appeared in various forms as parts of the {{uv|Mario}} and, in some cases for Shy Guy, {{uv|Yoshi}} universes, In fact, Birdo and Shy Guy's Trophies in Smash 4 mention the game sans Yume Kōjō '87. Additionally, Lina's floating jump, a special ability which was then inherited for [[Peach]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', appears as a mechanic for Peach since her debut in ''Melee'', also being inherited for [[Daisy]] in ''Ultimate''.
