In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Knuckle Joe is one of the supporting characters that spawns from the [[Assist Trophy]] [[item]]. When Knuckle Joe is summoned, he uses his "Vulcan Jab" technique, which is a series of rapid punches, on the nearest foe. Afterwards, he finishes the opponent off with one of two "finisher" attacks: the strong, short-ranged "Smash Punch", or the electricity-charged uppercut known as the "Rising Break" technique. The finisher he uses is chosen at random. He will use the finisher either the second or third time he did the Vulcan Jab. He could be considered the most powerful Assist Trophy character, because if he manages to trap an opponent in his initial barrage, he can [[One-hit KO|KO them at 0%]]. | In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Knuckle Joe reprises his role as an Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. He is functionally identical to his ''Brawl'' appearance, but the overall power of his Vulcan Jab and Rising Break have been considerably reduced, and neither attack can reliably [[One-hit KO|OHKO]] opponents. As a trade-off, he now performs his attack pattern twice (a series of Vulcan Jabs then finishing with a Smash Punch/Rising Break) as opposed to once in ''Brawl'', making him much more effective. He can also be defeated this time around. | Knuckle Joe reprises his role as an Assist Trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.

Knuckle Joe's trophy is one of the very few (along with [[Shadow the Hedgehog]], Timmy & Tommy, {{SSB4|Master Hand}}, and {{SSB4|Crazy Hand}}) to be a [[Challenge]] unlock in both versions of [[SSB4]]. In ''[[List of challenges (SSB4-3DS)|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' it is obtained by playing 10 collective hours (total gameplay x participants) of [[Versus Mode|Smash]]. In ''[[List of challenges (SSB4-Wii U)|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' it is obtained by clearing {{SSB4-Wii U|Classic Mode}} at intensity 9.0 without any [[customization]]s. | Knuckle Joe's trophy is one of the very few (along with [[Shadow the Hedgehog]], Timmy & Tommy, {{SSB4|Master Hand}}, and {{SSB4|Crazy Hand}}) to be a [[Challenge]] unlock in both versions of [[SSB4]].

===As an Assist Trophy=== | |||
Knuckle Joe reprises his role as an Assist Trophy, seemingly unchanged from Super Smash Bros. For Wii U/3DS. Knuckle Joe now faces the screen regardless of direction he turns towards. [[Training Mode]] describes his Assist Trophy: ''Opens with a Vulcan Jab, and then unleashes Smash Punch or Rising Break.'' He also now has a spirit which is No. 379. He is an attack spirit. In his fight you fight a Ryu with stronger punches, kicks, knee strikes, and increased physical attack power. Knuckle Joe can also spawn as an assist trophy in the battle too. | Knuckle Joe reprises his role as an Assist Trophy, seemingly unchanged from Super Smash Bros. For Wii U/3DS.
