Trivia

• Yoshi, Jigglypuff, and Captain Falcon are the only fighters to have voice clips reused in all five games.
  • Jigglypuff is unique in that it has received new voice clips in other languages (Japanese in Melee and Ultimate, French in Melee and Brawl, German in Brawl); only its English clips have been reused.
  • While Captain Falcon has used the same voice clips in each game, he was given new dialogue in Min Min's reveal trailer; Ryō Horikawa reprised his role for this appearance.
• Inversely, Kirby is the only fighter to receive new voice clips in all five games while still being voiced by the same actress, Makiko Ōmoto.
• Sonic, Pit, Fox, Falco, and Lucario are the only characters to have their English voice actors changed from Brawl to SSB4.
  • Out of these, Sonic is the only one to reuse voice clips from other games.
• Ivysaur and Pokémon Trainer are the only characters to have their English voice actors changed from Brawl to Ultimate.
• Both genders of Inkling are voiced by Yuki Tsujii, making Inkling the only character whose genders have different voices provided by the same actor.
  • Additionally, the female Inkling is one of two female characters to be voiced by a male actor, with the other being Kazooie.
• Shadow is the only Assist Trophy character to have his voice actor changed from Brawl to SSB4.
• Ike and Viridi are the only characters to have their English voice actors changed from SSB4 to Ultimate.
• In Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, Luigi's voice clips are pitch-shifted clips of Mario from Super Mario 64, even though Luigi had his own voice in previous Mario games.
• Charles Martinet's surname is misspelled "Martinee" in the credits of the original Super Smash Bros. This spelling may be an Anglicized form of the name's pronunciation.
• Link, Fox, and Jigglypuff are only members of the "perfect-attendance crew" whose voice actors have been changed for at least one language or installment. Conversely, Dr. Mario, Pichu, Young Link, the Ice Climbers, Marth, and Roy are the only Melee newcomers who keep their voice actors from that game for at least one language.
• Many Brawl newcomers share a similar trait: Pit, Sonic, Lucario, Ike, and Pokémon Trainer keep their Japanese voice actors from Brawl in later games, but receive new voice actors in English.
  • Of these, Sonic is the only one to have his Japanese voice clips from Brawl recycled throughout. While Ike had his recycled in SSB4, Ultimate gives him new ones in Japanese.
• The English voice recordings for Super Smash Bros. 4 and Ultimate were conducted under non-union conditions, which is presumed to be the cause of noticeable impacts on the voice casts of characters from Final Fantasy, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Fire Emblem Awakening:
  • The only Kid Icarus: Uprising voice actors to reprise their roles in Smash are Antony Del Rio (Pit and Dark Pit) and Hynden Walch (Viridi), both of whom are uncredited. Additionally, Walch only returned as Viridi for Smash 4, being completely replaced by Dayci Brookshire for Ultimate. All other Uprising characters were recast.
  • Cloud is only voiced in Japanese.
  • From Smash 4 onward, Lauren Landa took over as the voice of female Robin instead of Michelle Ruff or Wendee Lee, who portrayed the three voice options for her in Awakening (although both of those actresses have since portrayed other Fire Emblem characters). Additionally, Laura Bailey's performance as Lucina is uncredited, as it has been in every Fire Emblem game except Fates.
    • As of 2017, Bailey has left the role of Lucina, as part of a noticeable exodus of unionized voice talent from the series, and has been replaced by Alexis Tipton. Due to its reuse of Smash 4 voice assets, Ultimate is the only time since 2017 that Bailey has portrayed Lucina in any capacity.
• Several announcers have also voiced playable characters:
  • Xander Mobus, the English announcer, also voices Joker.
  • The Spanish and Italian announcers, Carlos Lobo and Luigi Fantino, also voice Lucario in those languages.
  • The French announcer for Smash 64, Jean-Marc Delhausse, voices various Pokémon in later installments, including Ivysaur and Lucario.
• With Ultimate marking his 100th performance as Mario, Charles Martinet received a Guinness World Records certificate for the most performances as a single video game character.
• Eric Newsome, Meta Knight's English voice actor, mistakenly labeled the Super Smash Bros. franchise as the Super Mario Bros. franchise on his website.
  • In a similar vein, Reuben Langdon, Ken's English voice actor, mistakenly claimed to have portrayed Raiden from Metal Gear in a Super Smash Bros. game (likely via motion capture, as Raiden's voice is portrayed throughout the Metal Gear series by Quinton Flynn). This led many fans to conclude that he had accidentally leaked the inclusion of Raiden in the then-upcoming fourth entry, before later correcting himself and stating that he had mixed Super Smash Bros. up with PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
• Pokémon Trainer has the most voice actors in the entire series, totaling at 18. Wii Fit Trainer previously held the title, and still holds the record for the most voice actors in a single game, having 17 in Smash 4.
• Wii Fit Trainer is the only character to have different voice actors for different regional dialects. This is seen in the distinction between American and British English as well as Latin American and Iberian Spanish.
  • Because of this, Wii Fit Trainer is also the only character to feature up to four voice actors in a single language.
• Though the Pokémon anime was recasted prior to Brawl's release, coinciding with its localization moving from 4Kids Entertainment to The Pokémon Company International, the Smash Bros. series continues to use voice actors from the 4Kids dub for Pokémon such as Jigglypuff and Snorlax, rather than their current actors.
  • Similarly, other Pokémon such as Eevee and Togedemaru use their Japanese voices in the Smash Bros. series despite having dubbed voices in the anime.
• Ultimate is the first game with official voice acting for Erdrick, Solo, and Eight, and Masahiro Sakurai shared some interesting pieces of trivia about each of the Hero's voice actors and their recording sessions:
  • The Luminary's voice actress, Mitsuki Saiga, reprises her role from Dragon Quest XI S (thus technically making Ultimate her debut voicing the character), but was directed to have more energy in her vocals to better fit the style of Smash.
  • Erdrick's voice actor, Nobuyuki Hiyama, had also notably voiced Adult Link in Ocarina of Time, Smash 64, and Melee. Of the four Heroes, his recording session was completed the fastest due to his extensive experience. Sakurai also notes that his performance can be recognized as Guy Shishioh from The King of Braves GaoGaiGar. In Dragon Quest XI S, he also voices Erdwin, a past hero based on Erdrick.
  • Solo's voice actor, Takeshi Kusao, asked for a lot of detail on the backstory of the protagonist to help improve his performance.
  • Eight's voice actor, Yūki Kaji, apparently dreamed of doing voice work for the Dragon Quest and Super Smash Bros. series, and he was enthusiastic to fulfill both at the same time in Ultimate.
• Several actors are credited in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate despite having no peformances actually in the game:
  • Jaz Adams and Lyssa Browne, who were the English voices of Peppy Hare and Slippy Toad in the Orbital Gate Assault stage's Smash Taunt in Smash 4, are still credited despite the stage not returning for Ultimate.
  • Wendee Lee is credited despite having never portrayed any character in a Smash game. As she is the current English voice actress for Lyn in Fire Emblem games released from 2017 onward, it is possible that this is some sort of mix-up relating to the possibility of her reprising that role; Ultimate instead reuses Lani Minella's portrayal of the character from Brawl and Smash 4. This makes her, along with Lucina, one of the only Fire Emblem characters in Ultimate to not be portrayed in some capacity by their current English voice actors.
• Despite being released after Star Fox 64 3D, Smash 4 continued to use Kenji Nojima and Hisao Egawa as Fox and Falco's Japanese voice actors from Brawl for unknown reasons. This is no longer the case in Ultimate, as both characters have been recasted to reflect their appearances as of Star Fox 64 3D.
• In both Smash 4 and Ultimate, Rosalina uses archived voice clips by Kerri Kane, even though in her home series, Laura Faye Smith has taken over Kane's role as of late 2013, aside from few archived voice clips.
  • Likewise, Lani Minella and Mike Vaughn have left the role of the Koopalings as of 2014 (except in Super Mario Maker 2, which reuses their voice clips, presumably for consistency with New Super Mario Bros. U), but both Smash 4 and Ultimate reuse their portrayals.
• Zelda and Sheik are the only characters whose voice actor remained the same in three installments in a row across all regions before being recasted. If regional differences are ignored, this also applies to Falco (in Japanese) and Marth (in international releases) as well.
  • Coincidentally, all four made their Smash debut in Melee, and being recasted in Ultimate.
• Every Smash games introduced at least one playable character with a voice actor who never portrayed them outside of Smash. Namely:
  • Smash 64 introduced Ness and Captain Falcon.
  • Melee introduced the Ice Climbers.
  • Brawl introduced Pokémon Trainer, Lucas and Zero Suit Samus. Meta Knight and Pit also share this distinction as well, albeit only applying to the English version.
  • Smash 4 introduced Little Mac and Palutena.
  • Ultimate introduced all of Hero's incarnations except the Luminary.
  • Kirby, Pit (Japanese), Wolf and Lucario (English), Roy (Japanese), and female Robin (English) also initially shared this distinction as well, until the release of Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, Pokémon the Series: XY and Fire Emblem Heroes respectively.
  • As of Smash 4, Mewtwo also falls this distinction as well. Ultimate added female Pokémon Trainer, Sheik and Zelda (in English).
