Revision as of 02:47, November 26, 2024
The following is a list of series that are technically represented in Super Smash Bros., but either have a questionable standing as being their own franchise, represented in too minor or indirect a way to even be considered dependant, in some way has the potential to be a coincidence, or all of the above. Major WIP, I have inserted some small references for unwritten paragraphs for when I get back to this article. I will set up solid rules at some point, as there are some entries I think are too pedantic even for this whole concept.. Refrain from editing until those rules are set up, at that point I will welcome them.
Questionable individuality
Captain Toad
Music
Dr. Mario
| Dr. Mario (universe) | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Developer(s) | Nintendo Arika TOSE LINE NHN Entertainment Mani Industries Intelligent Systems |
| Publisher(s) | Nintendo Mani Industries |
| Genre(s) | Puzzle |
| Console/platform of origin | Game Boy NES |
| First installment | Dr. Mario (1990) |
Dr. Mario is a puzzle game series featuring Mario characters (and, in 64, characters from Wario Land 3), in which the player must connect pills of the same color to eliminate viruses.
Dr. Mario has been featured as a playable character in all Super Smash Bros. games except for Brawl and 64, the prior still featuring him as a sticker and introducing new Dr. Mario music tracks, and the latter mentioning him in passing in Mario's description. Dr. Mario appears to have been planned for inclusion in Brawl.
}
Luigi's Mansion
Mario Kart
Does not qualify within my current idea of the rules, but is officially considered its own thing in Smash.
Nintendo eShop
| Nintendo eShop (universe) | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Developer(s) | Nintendo |
| Publisher(s) | Nintendo |
| Genre(s) | Utility |
| Console/platform of origin | Wii |
| First installment | Wii Shop Channel (2006) |
Nintendo eShop refers to digital storefronts owned by Nintendo, used for purchasing digital games, introduced as a platform for vintage and smaller games, but over time branching out to provide full retail releases in a non-physical format.
The Wii Shop Channel theme is featured as a song in Brawl and Ultimate. A remix of said song was added in for Wii U and remains in Ultimate.
Pikachu
| Pikachu (universe) | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Developer(s) | Nintendo Creatures Ambrella Denyusha |
| Publisher(s) | Nintendo The Pokémon Company |
| Genre(s) | Pet simulator Television simulator Mini-game compilation Visual novel |
| Console/platform of origin | LCD Handheld |
| First installment | Pokémon Pikachu (1998) |
Pikachu is a series of spin-off games starring the Pokémon franchise mascot Pikachu, itself made up of the subseries Pokémon Pikachu, Detective Pikachu, PokéPark, and Hey You, Pikachu!, with some dubious entries in the form of a single game starring Pichu and multiple special edition mainline Pokémon games with Pikachu in the place of a legendary or starter on the box.
Detective Pikachu appears as a Spirit in Ultimate.
Pokémon (anime)
Various references, mostly in trophies. (uncertain on elegiblity?)
Professor Hector
| Professor Hector (universe) | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Developer(s) | Nintendo |
| Publisher(s) | Nintendo |
| Genre(s) | Puzzle Platformer Toy |
| Console/platform of origin | NES |
| First installment | Gyromite (1985) |
Professor Hector is a character featured in all games that support R.O.B., described as being the inventor of the robot in-universe.
The representation for the actual games that support R.O.B., as opposed to the physical hardware, is extremely scant, as R.O.B. is mostly treated as a Smash original character and some elements of the Professor Hector lore contradict the plotline of The Subspace Emissary. However, R.O.B.'s victory jingle is taken from Stack-Up, and a music track featuring songs from both Professor Hector games has been present since Brawl.
Pyoro
| Pyoro (universe) | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Developer(s) | Nintendo Intelligent Systems |
| Publisher(s) | Nintendo |
| Genre(s) | Arcade Shooter |
| Console/platform of origin | Game Boy Advance Nintendo DSi (first solo release) |
| First installment | Pyoro and Pyoro 2 (2003, as part of WarioWare, Inc: Mega Microgame$!; 2008, as an individual product) |
Pyoro is a fictional series of video games playable within the WarioWare series of games, starring and presumably developed by a long-tongued small red bird of the same name (a parody of the Japanese chocolate mascot Kyorochan) depicted as both Wario's greatest competitor and admirerer, with minigames from the character's gamography being playable in almost every WarioWare game. In 2008, the first two Pyoro games featured in Mega Microgame$! were released as an independent downloadable game for Nintendo DSi, under the title Bird & Beans in the US and retaining the Pyoro title elsewhere.
Pyoro's artwork as a Spirit in Ultimate is taken from Bird & Beans. Additionally, all other instances of Pyoro representation, such as in a cameo on Gamer, could be considered representation for the Pyoro series of games depending on how one views the franchise in relation to reality.
Stanley the Bugman
| Stanley the Bugman (universe) | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Developer(s) | Nintendo |
| Publisher(s) | Nintendo |
| Genre(s) | Shooting Arcade |
| Console/platform of origin | Game & Watch |
| First installment | Green House (1982) |
Stanley the Bugman is a character who has recieved starring roles within the continuities of both Donkey Kong and generic Game & Watch games.
Stanley has made multiple appearances in Smash, with Mr. Game & Watch's jab having been based on Green House for all of his appearances, and being reanimated in Ultimate to have him transform into Stanley (even when other Mario-related games did not recieve transformation animations). Stanley is also a trophy in Melee and Spirit in Ultimate, classified as Donkey Kong character both times.
Tingle
| Tingle (universe) | |
|---|---|
 | |
| Developer(s) | Vanpool |
| Publisher(s) | Nintendo |
| Genre(s) | RPG Utility Platformer Point & click adventure Dating simulator |
| Console/platform of origin | Nintendo DS |
| First installment | Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland (2006) |
Tingle is a self-parodic spin-off of The Legend of Zelda starring the eccentric and perverse map maker Tingle, featuring a more twisted sense of humor and light satirical commentary on matters such as capitalism and slavery.
Tingle's trophy description in Brawl describes the plot of Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, and Barkle; Pinkle; and Uncle Rupee are featured as stickers. Tingle's Assist Trophy animation features flowers, presumably in reference to the box art of Rosy Rupeeland which shows Tingle skipping through a meadow, which is retained into Smash 4. Zero content from the Tingle series appears in Ultimate however, with Tingle's reduced presence only taking from his Zelda appearances.
Wario Land
| Wario Land (universe) | |
|---|---|
| |
| Developer(s) | Nintendo Good-Feel Treasure Suzak TOSE |
| Publisher(s) | Nintendo |
| Genre(s) | Platformer Beat-em-up |
| Console/platform of origin | Game Boy |
| First installment | Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (1994) |
Wario Land is a series of platformers starring Mario's greedy, unkempt "dark" counterpart Wario on his adventures to acquire great fortune, often committing good deeds by complete accident along the way.
Wario Land only recieves very minor representation in Smash, with moves like the "shoulder bash" having been implemented in very minor forms, and a single Wario Land music track (Stonecarving City from Wario Land: Shake It!) being avaliable in Ultimate and for Wii U, with Wario's representation instead mostly taking from WarioWare and original concepts based on the idea of Wario being a slob, which originated in marketing for Wario Land but is not particularly present in the games themselves. Various Wario Land Spirits and stickers have been featured in Ultimate and Brawl respectively, and Ultimate classifies Wario's overalls outfit, also featured in Mario games, as being from Wario Land.
Smash would also directly influence Wario Land, as the Stonecarving City theme was based on Wario's victory theme.

In the launch version of Ultimate, the Masked Man's Spirit used stolen fan art of the character in the art style of Mother 4. This was shortly patched out.

All of the Tetrimino Spirits in Ultimate use artwork from Tetris 99.
Diddy Kong Racing

| Developer(s) | Rare |
| Publisher(s) | Rare Nintendo |
| Genre(s) | Racing |
| Console/platform of origin | Nintendo 64 |
| First installment | Diddy Kong Racing (1997) |
Diddy Kong Racing, known in modern merchandising as Rare Racers, is a racing game featuring Diddy Kong alongside a cast of original animal characters. The game is notable for introducing the world to Banjo of Banjo-Kazooie and Conker of Conker's Bad Fur Day as as a promotional stunt (albeit one that would quickly become poorly aged as Conker developed into an adult character in later games)
Diddy Kong's Trophy description in Brawl makes a vague reference to Diddy participating in races, which could be interpreted as a reference to either Mario Kart, Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast, or Diddy Kong Racing. Diddy Kong Racing has an unused Spirit identifier in the files of Ultimate, likely scrapped due to the series' well-known legal woes.
Disney's Ducks
| Disney's Ducks (universe) | |
|---|---|

| Publisher(s) | Disney Interactive Capcom Various |
| Genre(s) | Adventure Comedy |
| Console/platform of origin | Movie Atari 2600 (video game) Commodore 64 (released video game) |
| First installment | Don Donald (1937) Donald Duck's Speedboat (first video game, unreleased) Donald Duck's Playground (first released video game, 1984) |
Disney's Ducks is a sub-series of the Mickey Mouse universe revolving around various ducks going on adventures, typically in the town of Duckburg. In some territories, the franchise is more popular than Mickey Mouse. It itself comprises multiple sub-series, Donald Duck being the most iconic character; the Uncle Scrooge being a popular meta-spin-off; most famous through the television series DuckTales; and a slightly lesser known branch coming in the form of the superhero parody cartoon series Darkwing Duck.
Sora's Wisdom Form, featured as an alternate costume in Ultimate, is accessed by fusing with Donald Duck, technically making Donald a playable character. The game Mickey & Donald is namedropped in the Chronicle.
Game & Watch Gallery
| Game & Watch Gallery (universe) | |
|---|---|

| Developer(s) | Nintendo TOSE Million Colors |

| First installment | Game Boy Gallery (1995) |
Game & Watch Gallery is a compilation series featuring classic Game & Watch games in faithful remakes and special remakes starring Mario and Yoshi characters.
The theme to Flat Zone 2 is misattributed as originating from Game & Watch Gallery in Brawl, despite being an original composition. Peach's frying pan, while most likely a reference to Super Mario RPG, may originate from Modern Chef.
Goofy

| First installment | Goofy and Wilbur (1939) Sport Goofy (first video game, unreleased) Goof Troop (first released video game, 1993) |
Goofy, sometimes known as George Geef, is a popular Disney cartoon character, typically depicted as a well-meaning halfwit and the out-of-touch single father to his teenage son Max. Goofy is most famous for the How To short series, animated parodies of instructional videos in which Goofy fails to follow the provided instructions, leading to mild cartoon slapstick.
Sora's Valor Form, featured as an alternate costume in Ultimate, is accessed by fusing with Goofy, technically making Goofy a playable character.

Google Search is a search engine website. It is ubiquitous to the point of having become a genericised trademark. Although not a video game, Google has become very well known for its "Google Doodles", alternate logos released to mark certain occasions, some of which function as minigames.
Ando-Kensaku from And-Kensaku, a game themed around Google searches, is featured as a Spirit in Ultimate

| First installment | Pocket Monsters Stadium (1998) |
Pokémon Stadium is a spin-off of the Pokémon franchise based around simulating battles on home consoles by transferring Pokémon from handheld mainline games. GameCube installments in the sub-series had their own RPG modes targeting an older audience.
The Pokémon Stadium stages are named after this series, but do not feature any elements from the games. All of the models in Poké Floats are ripped from Stadium, and many of the Pokémon trophies in Brawl are ripped from Battle Revolution.
