The {{s|zeldawiki|Master Sword}} is a longsword from {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} universe. It has appeared in many games of the ''Zelda'' series as [[Link]]'s most powerful sword and is one of the few weapons capable of defeating [[Ganondorf|Ganon]]. The backstory established in ''The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword'' shows that it was created from the {{s|zeldawiki|Goddess Sword}} and is inhabited by the sword spirit {{s|zeldawiki|Fi}}. It is generally found in the {{s|zeldawiki|Pedestal of Time}}, although its location varies by game.

In ''Smash'', the Master Sword appears in many roles. The Master Sword is wielded by adult Link in all games of the ''Smash'' series, and its appearance varies by game. In ''SSB'' and ''Melee'', it is based on its appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''; ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', it is based on its appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''; in ''Ultimate'', it is based on its appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild''. [[Toon Link]] wields the Master Sword as well, based on its appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''; his version is shorter and weaker, but swings much faster. {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s can also wield the Master Sword as part of the [[downloadable content]] [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Wave 1|costume]] based on Link.

[[File:Ganondorf_up_smash_(ultimate).png|thumb|200px|{{SSBU|Ganondorf}} wielding the SpaceWorld 2000 sword in ''Ultimate''.]]
The unnamed sword popularly known as the SpaceWorld 2000 sword was wielded by Ganondorf in ''The Legend of Zelda''-based {{s|zeldawiki|SpaceWorld 2000 GameCube Tech Demo}}, being used in a short sword duel with Link. Despite the sword only appearing in a tech demo before, it appeared in ''Melee'' as part of one of Ganondorf's victory poses and returned in ''Ultimate'' as part of Ganondorf's down taunt and his new smash attacks. The sword did not appear in ''Brawl'' or ''SSB4'', which used the ''Twilight Princess'' design of Ganondorf and the Sword of Six Sages from the same game.

The {{s|zeldawiki|Sword of the Six Sages}} is a longsword from {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}} universe. In the backstory of ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', the sword was originally used by the [[zeldawiki:Sage#Twilight Princess|Sages]] in an attempt to execute [[Ganondorf]]. While the sword penetrated his armor and left a glowing wound, Ganondorf was kept alive by the [[Triforce]] of Power he possessed, and he took the sword for himself before he was sealed into the {{s|zeldawiki|Twilight Realm}}. When Ganondorf is revived towards the end of the game's plot, he uses the sword prominently in his final battle with [[Link]]. The sword is first given its official name in its appearance in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild}}'' as a legacy item unlockable through the usage of Ganondorf's ''Smash'' [[amiibo]].

In ''Smash'', Ganondorf shows off the Sword of the Six Sages in his down [[taunt]] in both ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4''. He would first use it to attack as part of the [[Warlock Blade]] custom move in ''SSB4''. The sword did not appear in ''Melee'' or ''Ultimate'', which use Ganondorf's ''Ocarina of Time'' design, and his sword from the SpaceWorld 2000 ''The Legend of Zelda'' tech demo.

{{s|wikirby|Galaxia}} is a branched sword from the {{uv|Kirby}} universe. It is [[Meta Knight]]'s signature weapon and is used by him in all of his appearances. It was first named Galaxia in the ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' anime series and the name was adopted back into the main games starting with ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Epic Yarn}}''.

==Greninja's water katana/kunai==
[[File:GreninjaUpSmashSSBU.jpg|thumb|200px|{{SSBU|Greninja}} using a kunai made of water in ''Ultimate''.]]
[[Greninja]] uses a blade of water for its smash attacks and forward air. It was originally a water {{s|wikipedia|katana}} in ''Smash 4'', but was changed to a {{s|wikipedia|kunai}} in ''Ultimate'', which is similar to when {{s|bulbapedia|Ash's Greninja}} uses {{iw|bulbapedia|Cut|move}} in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon the Series}}''.
Although an original concept in ''Smash'', several Greninja in the film ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Detective Pikachu}}'' would use water swords, similar to the Greninja in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''. It also has been referenced in ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon UNITE}}''.

==Falchion==
==Falchion==
{{s|fireemblemwiki|Falchion}} is a broadsword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. A {{s|fireemblemwiki|regalia}} sword dating back to the original ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light]]'', Falchion is the signature weapon of the series' first protagonist, [[Marth]]. Falchion's sister weapon/artifact is the {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem|Archanean item}}, a.k.a. the Binding Shield; they were both created together by the Divine Dragon {{s|fireemblemwiki|Naga}} from her fangs, to provide humanity with a means of protecting itself from sinister dragons. The weapons can be used separately or together.

In the English version of ''Awakening'', this form is simply called Falchion, which is reflected in the [[Palutena's Guidance#Chrom|Palutena's Guidance conversation about Chrom]]. However, it is given the name Sealed Falchion in ''Fire Emblem Heroes'', which more closely matches the Japanese name ({{ja|封剣ファルシオン|Fūken Farushion}}, ''Sealed Sword Falchion'').

In ''Smash Bros.'', Chrom uses the Sealed Falchion in all of his appearances: as a playable fighter in ''Ultimate'', in his role as part of [[Robin]]'s [[Pair Up]] [[Final Smash]], and in his [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Wave 3|costume]] for {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}s. For his playable role, unlike Marth, its power is completely even throughout the blade. Kirby can also use the Sealed Falchion if he copies Chrom's [[Flare Blade]].

[[Lucina]] carries the same Falchion as Chrom from her future timeline, slightly powered up into a form known as the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Parallel Falchion}} after she used an incomplete rite of Awakening on it. In ''Smash Bros.'', like Chrom's Falchion, the Parallel Falchion deals consistent damage throughout the blade. Kirby can also use the Parallel Falchion if he copies Lucina's [[Shield Breaker]].

The {{iw|fireemblemwiki|Binding Blade|weapon}} (previously localized as the Sword of Seals), is a regalia sword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. The titular sword of ''Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade'', the Binding Blade was the second sword wielded by the legendary {{s|fireemblemwiki|Hartmut}} of the {{s|fireemblemwiki|Eight Generals}}, the founder of the militant nation of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Bern}} in {{s|fireemblemwiki|Elibe}}. It was used to seal away the Demon Dragon {{s|fireemblemwiki|Idunn}} and end {{s|fireemblemwiki|the Scouring}}, a war in which humans fought and exiled dragons to another dimension. Late in ''The Binding Blade'', the weapon is awakened by the Fire Emblem and reacts to [[Roy]], [[fireemblemwiki:Class change|promoting]] him into a {{s|fireemblemwiki|Great Lord}}.

In ''Smash'', the Binding Blade is wielded by Roy in all of his playable appearances. In a similar vein as Marth's Falchion, Roy's Binding Blade has consistently featured a "reverse" sweet spot at the base of its blade in every appearance, necessitating him to fight much closer to his opponents; Ironically, the Binding Blade is a two ranged weapon in ''Fire Emblem'' unlike in ''Smash''. It also is capable of having [[flame]] properties in some of its attacks. Starting from ''SSB4'', Roy also wields it in reverse grip. Kirby can also use the Binding Blade if he copies Roy's [[Flare Blade]].

{{s|fireemblemwiki|Ragnell}} is a two-handed regalia sword from the {{uv|Fire Emblem}} universe. Ragnell is a holy blade blessed by the Goddess {{s|fireemblemwiki|Ashera}}; in the ancient past of {{s|fireemblemwiki|Tellius}}, the apostle Altina used the sword in tandem with its counterpart, {{s|fireemblemwiki|Alondite}}. In ''Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance'' and ''Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn'', [[Ike]] wields Ragnell as his primary weapon, while Alondite belongs to his rival, the [[Black Knight]]. The swords clash against each other, along with their respective wielders, in their rivalry throughout both games set on Tellius. Within these games, both swords are among the most powerful weapons available, capable of performing long-ranged attacks.

In ''Smash'', Yato is Corrin's main weapon, appearing in its ultimate form known as Omega Yato, the "Fire Emblem" of its continuity. This form is exclusively available in the third plot path, ''Revelation'', and in the DLC chapter ''Heirs of Fate 6: Lost in the Waves''. Despite its chainsaw-like blade, it functions identically to a typical sword with the exception of Corrin's charge portion of their [[forward smash]], where the small blades rotate along with the sword and deal multiple weak hits.

The {{s|fireemblem|Sword of the Creator}}, also simply called the Creator Sword, is one of the [[fireemblemwiki:Regalia#In Fódlan|Relics]] from ''Fire Emblem: Three Houses'', and Byleth's signature weapon, crafted from the heart and bones of the progenitor goddess [[Sothis]] and previously wielded by the bandit king {{s|fireemblem|Nemesis}}. It has the ability to extend and retract like a whip to attack opponents at range. The sword can only be wielded by those who bear the {{s|fireemblem|Crest of Flames}}, the "Fire Emblem" of this continuity. The Relics usually require the corresponding crest stone to be used without harm, yet Byleth seemingly wields it without one. It is later revealed that the sword was made from the remains of the progenitor god and that the crest stone is her heart which Rhea placed within Byleth.

The sword used to only be used at its fullest potential by those who bear the {{s|fireemblem|Crest of Flames}}, the "Fire Emblem" of this continuity but by the time Byleth acquired the sword at the Holy Mausoleum, only they can wield it despite Edelgard also having the Crest of Flames. The Relics usually require the corresponding crest stone to be used without harm, yet Byleth seemingly wields it without one. It is later revealed that the sword was made from the remains of the progenitor god and that the crest stone is her heart which Rhea placed within Byleth.  


In ''Smash'', the sword is used for most of Byleth's ground attacks, as well as upward-inputted moves such as up smash, up air, and [[Sword of the Creator|up special]]. The sword is sometimes used in its whip form while other times is used in its sword form.

The Monado begins ''Xenoblade Chronicles'' as the Homs' ultimate weapon against the invading Mechon—it cannot harm Homs, whereas it is the only known weapon that can damage the Mechon. However, it appears to have a mind of its own; initially, [[Dunban]] is the only one that can successfully control its power, and even then, it gradually causes him to lose the use of his right arm. When the Mechon later attacks Colony 9, Dunban can no longer use the Monado despite trying, and Shulk ends up taking it in his stead, finding that he can wield it with no ill effects. From there, Shulk uses the Monado as his only weapon. As his adventure progresses, he discovers that it hides additional battle arts and provides him with premonitions of the future that he must take action to avoid. Over the course of the adventure, the Monado evolves to grant Shulk additional strength when he most needs it. Ultimately, Shulk and his party discover the deep and complex connection between the Monado and the nature of the world.

In ''Smash'', Shulk wields the initial form of the Monado as his primary weapon and additionally utilizes its [[Monado Arts]]. Due to its beam nature, the Monado grants Shulk excellent disjointed range, one of the longest in the entire series. Its ability to provide premonitions is also used as his [[Vision|down special]], functioning as a counterattack. Kirby can also carry the Monado if he copies [[Monado Arts]] from Shulk, though he does not fight with it.

The {{s|xenoserieswiki|Aegis Sword}} is a weapon type exclusive to [[Pyra]] and [[Mythra]] in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'', being wielded by their Driver [[Rex]]. Pyra's Aegis Sword is an energy blade with a red triangular shell similar in appearance to the Monado, but with several small beams emitted from its side. With it, Rex's attacks and her Blade Arts specialize in the Fire element. Mythra's sword has a white shell and its smaller beams form a crossguard. With it, Rex's attacks and her Blade Arts specialize in the Light element.
The {{iw|xenoserieswiki|Aegis Sword}} is a weapon type exclusive to [[Pyra]] and [[Mythra]] in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'', being wielded by their Driver [[Rex]] (and by Mythra herself in ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country''). Pyra's Aegis Sword is an energy blade with a red single-edged triangular shell similar in appearance to the Monado, but with several small beams emitted from its side. With it, Rex's attacks and Pyra's Blade Specials specialize in the Fire element. Mythra's Aegis Sword has a white double-edged triangular shell and its smaller beams form a crossguard. With it, Rex's attacks and Mythra's Blade Specials in ''XC2''—along with Mythra's attacks, Vanguard/Rear Guard Arts, and Specials in ''Torna ~ The Golden Country''—specialize in the Light element.


In ''Smash'', Pyra and Mythra wield their respective Aegis Swords, rather than Rex. Pyra's sword generates [[flame]] effects for certain attacks, but as ''Smash'' lacks a true "Light" element, Mythra's Aegis instead uses the [[slash]] effect for its direct attacks, and the [[magic]] effect for its light-based moves. The energy blade of Pyra's Aegis Sword has significantly greater length than Mythra's, despite the two having identical length in their home game. During various animations, Pyra and Mythra's Aegis Swords levitate freely near their bodies. Additionally, during Pyra and Mythra's respective [[Final Smashes]] ([[Burning Sword]] and [[Sacred Arrow]]), the Aegis Sword gets handed over to Rex, who performs the initial slash that sets up into the rest of either move. Kirby can also use both Aegis Swords if he copies Pyra's [[Flame Nova]] or Mythra's [[Lightning Buster]], respectively. Pyra's Aegis Sword is also part of Rex's Mii Fighter costume. The Pneuma spirit also depicts herself with the third Aegis Sword.
In ''Smash'', Pyra and Mythra wield their respective Aegis Swords, rather than Rex, similarly to how Mythra does so in ''Torna ~ The Golden Country''.

The [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Buster_Sword Buster Sword] is an immense broadsword from the {{uv|Final Fantasy}} universe. Debuting in ''{{s|wikipedia|Final Fantasy VII}}'', it is [[Cloud Strife]]'s trademark and starting weapon and was wielded before him by Zack Fair and Angeal Hewley. The Buster Sword has become an iconic design element for both Cloud and ''Final Fantasy VII'' in general, due to its massive size and simple yet distinctive shape. The Buster Sword is wielded by Cloud in most of his appearances and has appeared in other ''Final Fantasy'' media as well. From tip to handle, it is approximately five to six feet long, with a single-edged large blade approximately one foot wide. There are two holes near the handguard, variably said to be Materia slots (and portrayed as such in ''Final Fantasy VII Remake''), or where Cloud clips the sword onto his back. Kirby can also wield the Buster Sword if he copies [[Blade Beam]] from Cloud.

Angeal was the original owner of the Buster Sword and it was forged by his father when Angeal joined [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/SOLDIER SOLDIER] but after his father fell ill and passed, Angeal barely used it to avoid the blade being damaged, instead fighting with a standard SOLDIER sword because of his father's memory. Angeal would later entrust the Buster Sword to Zack as a symbol of passing on his honor and dreams. Zack uses the Buster Sword much more frequently than Angeal, but Zack would later be gunned down by Shinra outside of [[Midgar]]. Just prior to his death, Zack would pass on the Buster Sword to Cloud, naming him his living legacy and proof of his life.
 
After acquiring the Buster Sword, Cloud would use it as his main weapon but he would later get better weapons later in the game like the Hardedge and the Ultima Weapon for example. Cloud still uses the Buster Sword in cutscenes and minigames however. In ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', Cloud would place the Buster Sword on the cliff where Zack had his last stand as a memorial. The sword rusts and becomes covered in dirt due to its exposure to the elements and lack of maintenance, but after Cloud defeats Sephiroth yet again, he soon after refurbishes the Buster Sword and moves it to the Sector 5 church as a memorial to both Zack and [[Aerith Gainsborough]].

In ''Smash'', Cloud wields the Buster Sword as his primary means of attack. When using Cloud's costume based on ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children'', the Buster Sword is replaced with the combined [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Fusion_Sword Fusion Sword] from that film, with no difference in function.

Kirby cannot copy the Fusion Sword, regardless of Cloud's costume.
The [http://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Fusion_Sword Fusion Sword] is a six-piece sword assembly wielded by Cloud Strife.

It is composed of six swords that assemble into a single large sword with a shape identical to the Buster Sword.

This is primarily a cosmetic change, with the resulting total damage and knockback being the same as the normal version. Kirby cannot copy the Fusion Sword, regardless of Cloud's costume.

Sephiroth is said to be the only one able to effectively wield it; [[Tifa Lockhart]] briefly, but unsuccessfully, attempted to use it against Sephiroth during the Nibelheim Incident. Sephiroth gained the ability to manifest the blade at will after his merging with the Lifestream.

==Kingdom Key==
[[File:Sora SSBU.png|thumb|150px|{{SSBU|Sora}} wielding the Kingdom Key in ''Ultimate''.]]
{{iw|khwiki|Keyblade}}s are the primary weapon of choice in the {{uv|Kingdom Hearts}} universe. They functionally serve three purposes: as a key to unlock virtually any keyhole, as a sword for close quarters combat, and as a wand to cast magic spells. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', [[Sora]] wields his signature {{iw|khwiki|Kingdom Key}}; it has a yellow guard, a metal colored shaft in the shape of a key, and is adorned with a keychain in the shape of {{iw|khwiki|Mickey Mouse}}'s head.
 
In the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, the first Keyblades were originally created by the {{iw|khwiki|Master of Masters}} by extracting them from the {{iw|khwiki|hearts}} of people using the {{iw|khwiki|χ-blade}} (pronounced the same as Keyblade), a legendary Keyblade meant to unlock the true {{iw|khwiki|Kingdom Hearts}}. However, various factions grew surrounding the myths of the χ-blade and Kingdom Hearts, resulting in the first {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade War}}, and the aftermath left resulted in the {{iw|khwiki|Keyblade Graveyard}} as it is known in legends. A multitude of Keyblades exist with different attributes, strengths and weaknesses. A single wielder is capable of using multiple Keyblades, with particularly powerful wielders being able to wield several simultaneously.
 
A process known as {{iw|khwiki|bequeathing}} allows [[khwiki:List of Keyblade wielders|Keyblade Wielders]] to hand their Keyblade to others as a test of worthiness for that particular individual. The Kingdom Key was originally {{iw|khwiki|Riku}}'s main Keyblade, but in the process of Riku falling into the darkness, the Kingdom Key chose Sora as its new user.
 
When Kirby copies Sora's [[Magic]], he does not directly wield the Keyblade and instead wields a rough imitation of the weapon made of sparkles, presumably due to the complicated requirements to properly become a Keyblade wielder.

*Kirby can copy fighters via {{b|Inhale|Kirby}}, so he can use some fighters' swords through their [[Copy Ability]]. He cannot copy alternate costumes, so some non-default swords are unusable, like the Fusion Sword. Other Copy Abilities gain an unusable sword for aesthetic purposes, such as Hero's Supreme Sword of Light. In Shulk’s case, Kirby does use the weapon but not by directly attacking with it.

*Although Exalted Falchion does not have the appearance of a real-life {{s|wikipedia|falchion}}, its tipper mechanic is similar to cleaver falchions, which are blade-heavy and thus strongest at the tip.

Looking at the design of the sword in the game's data reveals that it accurately matches the design seen in concept art for ''Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru''.
