In an official poll held on ''[[Smabura-Ken]]'' regarding characters for a potential sequel, [[wikipedia:Portrayal of James Bond in film|James Bond]] placed sixth overall with 35 votes, tied with [[Mewtwo]] from {{uv|Pokémon}}.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult2.html Super Smash Bros. questionnaire]</ref> The poll also included agent 006 {{s|wikipedia|Alec Trevelyan}}, who received 2 votes and was tied with a non-specified ''Blast Corps'' robot for fourth place among Rare characters.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult3.html Super Smash Bros. questionnaire]</ref> Sakurai stated that he did not include James Bond owing to concerns over Bond's realistic weaponry that included handguns and similar items. Furthermore, the copyright to the game would be owned by Rare, and a number of other copyright issues, such as those involving the likeness of his actor, {{s|wikipedia|Pierce Brosnan}}, and rights involving the film series itself, would have led to numerous legal challenges in development of ''Melee''.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return526.html</ref>

|publisher        = {{s|wikipedia|Fuji TV}}<!--would this be better suited for developer or distributor?-->

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Bayonetta: Bloody Fate}}:''''' [[Bayonetta]]'s and [[Rodin]]'s Japanese voice actors, Atsuko Tanaka and Tesshō Genda, reprise their roles from the movie, as well as the Japanese dubs of ''Bayonetta'' and ''Bayonetta 2''. Game director Hideki Kamiya was initially against having a Japanese voice cast, and thus left one out of the first game, but he enjoyed the movie's cast enough to retain them for ''Bayonetta 2'' and retroactively dub the Wii U re-release of ''Bayonetta'' in Japanese.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children}}:''''' Four of [[Cloud]]'s costumes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' are directly based on his "Cloudy Wolf" costume; in ''Ultimate'', these costumes were updated to use [[Omnislash Ver. 5]] as a Final Smash. Sephiroth's default costume in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is based on his appearance in this film, with voice actor {{s|wikipedia|Toshiyuki Morikawa}} reprising his role. The music tracks {{SSBUMusicLink|Final Fantasy|Those Who Fight (AC Version)}}, {{SSBUMusicLink|Final Fantasy|Those Who Fight Further (AC Version)}}, and {{SSBUMusicLink|Final Fantasy|Advent: One-Winged Angel}} are taken directly from the film's soundtrack.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture}}:''''' One of [[Terry Bogard]]'s costumes in ''Ultimate'' is indirectly based upon his appearance in the film, using the same metal plate on his hat but overall featuring a differing color scheme.

*'''''{{iw|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem|anime}}:''''' [[Marth]]'s Japanese voice actor, Hikaru Midorikawa, reprises his role from the original video animation.

*'''''[[F-Zero]]'' manual comic:''' The [[Falcon Flyer]], which appears on [[Big Blue]] and during [[The Subspace Emissary]], originates from this comic book. It has never been featured in an ''F-Zero'' game.

*'''''{{s|wikirby|Kirby: Right Back at Ya!}}:''''' In Japanese, [[Meta Knight]] and [[Knuckle Joe]] are voiced by their actors from the {{uv|Kirby}} anime. Additionally, [[Galaxia]], Meta Knight's sword, got its name and design from the anime. [[Nightmare]]'s current appearance originates from the anime, which was already adopted by the games starting with ''Nightmare in Dream Land''. The song ''{{SSBBMusicLink|Kirby|Checker Knights}}'' also originally debuted in the anime, though its appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' derives from ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Air Ride}}''.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Pac-Man (TV series)}}:''''' [[Pac-Land]], which the eponymous stage is based on, was created as a tie-in to the cartoon series of the game.

*'''''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon the Series}}:''''' Many species from the {{uv|Pokémon}} universe are voiced by their anime actors, usually saying their names like in the anime (with some exceptions, such as Meowth). {{s|wikipedia|4Kids Entertainment}}, who produced the series' international dubs until 2006, is credited for their work on the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.<!--Do not add the fact that some Pokémon debuted in the anime before appearing in their intended Generation, as they are intended to be "sneak peeks" of the upcoming Generation, thus calling them representatives of the anime is inaccurate-->

**'''''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon the Series: The Beginning}}:''''' Professor Oak and Misty's trophies in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' are based on [[bulbapedia:Professor Oak (anime)|their]] [[bulbapedia:Misty (anime)|appearances]] in the anime. Additionally, [[Meowth]]'s trophy in ''Melee'' is based on Meowth's appearance in {{s|bulbapedia|Meowth's Party}}, the seventh ending animation for the anime; this Meowth is the same talking one from Team Rocket. {{s|bulbapedia|Ash Ketchum}}, the anime's protagonist, is directly mentioned in [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s trophy description in ''Smash 4'', which also quotes the {{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Theme}}; in ''Ultimate'', the theme is referenced again, in the Pokémon Trainer's Boxing Ring title. Additionally, both {{SSBU|Pikachu}}'s Classic Mode title and the Pokémon Trainer's [[Crowd|crowd chant]] in ''Ultimate'' reference the anime's usage of "I choose you!" when Ash throws out a Pokémon. [[Goldeen]]'s appearance as a Poké Ball summon is based on Misty's Goldeen in the anime, who was notable for being completely useless on land and would only be able to flop around. [[Pichu]]'s mechanic in which its electric attacks hurt itself is an element that originated in the ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pikachu & Pichu}}'' short. The bonus for [[Star KO|Star KO'ing]] all members of a team in ''Melee'' is named "Rocket KO", which is named after [[Team Rocket]] (particularly, Jessie, James, and Meowth), who are often involved in a recurring gag in which they are sent flying into the sky, leaving behind a twinkling star when they vanish from sight. In the [[Palutena's Guidance]] for {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Pit}} calls the trainer a "twerp", similar to the nickname used for Ash Ketchum by Team Rocket.  

**'''''[[bulbapedia:M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]:''''' [[Mewtwo]]'s portrayal starting in ''Melee'' is linked to its appearance in the movie, as implied by its Japanese voice lines, as well as its voice actor in ''Melee'', Masachika Ichimura, who reprises his role from the original Japanese cast of the movie. [[Shadow Ball]] was first used by Mewtwo in this movie, before appearing in ''Pokémon Gold & Silver''. Mewtwo's reveal slogan in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' is the same as the subtitle of this film.  

**'''''{{s|bulbapedia:M05|Pokémon Heroes}}:'''''  The Latias and Latios spirit battle is on Delfina Plaza, which references Alto Mare.  

 

**'''''[[bulbapedia:M08|Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]:''''' [[Lucario]]'s portrayal starting in ''Brawl'' is linked to its appearance in the movie, as implied by its Japanese voice actor, Daisuke Namikawa, who reprises his role from the film; other generic Lucario appear throughout the series (voiced in English by Bill Rogers, who voiced Lucario in ''Brawl''), but Namikawa specifically voiced the Lucario from the film, until Ash's Riolu [[bulbapedia:JN045|evolved]] in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}'' and was voiced in Japanese by Namikawa (and in English by Rogers). Sean Schemmel, the English voice of Lucario from the film, would later reprise his role in ''Smash 4'' as Lucario, and Gerhard Jilka, the German voice of Lucario from the film, reprises his role in all of Lucario's appearances. Other references to the film include one of Lucario's victory quotes, "The aura is with me!" (which also appears as the name of [[Event 25: The Aura Is With Me|''Brawl''{{'}}s 25th event]]), as well as [[:File:SSB4-Wii U Congratulations All-Star Lucario.png|Lucario's All-Star congratulations screen]] in ''Smash Wii  

**'''''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}:''''' Mewtwo's Boxing Ring title directly references the film's title.

**'''''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon the Series: XY}}:''''' {{s|bulbapedia|Ash-Greninja}}, a form obtained by Ash Ketchum and [[bulbapedia:Ash's Greninja|his Greninja]], makes an appearance in ''Ultimate'' in [[Greninja]]'s [[Final Smash]], [[Secret Ninja Attack]], with Greninja transforming into such when activating the attack.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Street Fighter: Sakura Ganbaru!}}:''''' Karin Kanzuki, a character who debuted in this manga adaptation, appears as a Spirit.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Underground}}:''''' Jonatán López, [[Sonic]]'s original Spanish voice actor from the show, began voicing the character in the games' Spanish dubs from ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Generations}}'' onwards until his death in 2020; as the voice clips from those games are reused in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', López reprises his role as Sonic from ''Underground''.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic X}}:''''' Jason Griffith, Sonic and [[Shadow]]'s voice actor from the anime (who later carried over into the {{uv|Sonic the Hedgehog}} video games, alongside the rest of the 4Kids cast, starting with ''{{iw|wikipedia|Shadow the Hedgehog|video game}}'' before being replaced in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic Free Riders}}''), reprised his role as both characters in ''Brawl''. From ''Sonic Generations'' onwards, the ''Sonic'' cast has been dubbed in Spanish, French, German, and Italian, with the French and German voice casts from ''Sonic X'' (barring a few characters) reprising their roles. Because the voice clips from those games are reused in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', Alexandre Gillet and Marc Stachel, Sonic's French and German actors, reprise their roles from the anime, as does Benoît DuPac, Shadow's French actor. Sébastien Desjours and Claus-Peter Damitz, [[Knuckles]]'s French and German voice actors, also reprise their roles from the anime in ''Ultimate''.

*'''{{s|pikipedia|Strawberry Flower}}:''' Two songs from the {{uv|Pikmin}} universe in ''Brawl'', ''{{SSBBMusicLink|Pikmin|Ai no Uta}}'' and ''{{SSBBMusicLink|Pikmin|Tane no Uta}}'', are not present in the ''Pikmin'' games themselves; rather, they were chart singles by the band released to promote the series in Japan. ''{{SSBBMusicLink|Pikmin|Ai no Uta (French Version)}}'', an abridged cover of ''Ai no Uta'', was used for Pikmin's advertising in France and subsequently featured in ''Brawl''.

*'''''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!}}:''''' One of [[Luigi]]'s costumes in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' is reminiscent to his appearance in the movie.

*'''''[[Super Metroid]] Nintendo Power'' comic:''' This ''Nintendo Power'' comic is the first source to reveal the backstory of [[Samus Aran]], the sole survivor of the Space Pirates' raid on K-2L. This backstory is referenced by Samus's classic and unmasked trophies in ''Melee''. The ''Metroid'' games themselves would not allude to this backstory until the Child Mode endings of ''Metroid Fusion'', released after ''Melee''.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Tekken: Blood Vengeance}}:''''' The artwork used for Nina William's spirit in ''Ultimate'' is sourced from this movie.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Arsène Lupin|, Gentleman Burglar}}:''''' A fictional French thief and the titular character of a series of stories written by Maurice Leblanc. [[Arsène]], a Persona that debuted in ''{{s|wikipedia|Persona 5}}'' and appeared in ''Ultimate'' alongside [[Joker]], is loosely inspired by this character.  

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Carmilla}}:''''' A female vampire and the titular character of the early vampire novel of the same name by Josep Sheridan Le Fanu. A very loose interpretation of Carmilla is first seen in ''{{s|wikipedia|Castlevania II: Simon's Quest}}'', and this version appears in [[Dracula's Castle]] in ''Ultimate''.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Carmina Burana}}:''''' Verses taken from some of the poems featured in this medieval collection are used as the lyrics of {{SSBUMusicLink|Final Fantasy|One-Winged Angel}}; specifically, verses taken from ''{{s|wikipedia|O Fortuna}}'', ''Estuans interius'', ''Veni, veni, venias'', and ''Ave formosissima''.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Dracula}}:''''' A vampire and the titular character of Bram Stoker's novel of the same name. [[Dracula]] is a recurring antagonist in the ''Castlevania'' franchise, and the depiction of Dracula from {{s|wikipedia|Castlevania: Symphony of the Night}} is the basis for the boss character in ''Ultimate''. [[List of spirits (Castlevania series)#Jonathan Morris|Jonathan Morris]]'s surname is a reference to the novel character Quincey Morris.

**'''''{{iw|wikipedia|Son of Dracula|1943 film}}:''''' [[Alucard]] is loosely inspired by the main character of this Universal film, Count Alucard.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Dungeons & Dragons}}:''''' A tabletop role-playing game designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. The {{iw|wikipedia|mimic|Dungeons & Dragons}}, a shapeshifting monster created for the game in 1977, serves as the inspiration for both the [[Mimic|creature of the same name]] from the ''Dragon Quest'' series and the [[Mimicutie]].

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Eine kleine Nachtmusik}}:''''' A chamber ensemble piece originally composed by {{s|wikipedia|Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart}}. The "{{SSBBMusicLink|Nintendo|Mario Bros.}}" track, which is based on the level begin tune from the original arcade game, uses a short excerpt of this piece.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Frankenstein}}:''''' A science fiction/horror novel written by Mary Shelley. The Creature in [[Dracula's Castle]] is inspired by the monster in this novel, particularly its portrayal by Boris Karloff in [[wikipedia:Frankenstein (1931 film)|the 1931 film adaptation]].

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|The Girl I Left Behind}}:''''' An English folk song. The "[[List of SSBB Music (Kid Icarus series)#Skyworld|Overworld]]"<!--correct title used in SSB4 and SSBU--> track from ''Kid Icarus'' includes a short excerpt of this song.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Game of Death}}:''''' A martial arts film starring, written and directed by {{s|wikipedia|Bruce Lee}} in his final film project, as he died during production. The outfit Bruce Lee wears throughout the film was the inspiration for [[Bayonetta]]'s [https://www.co-optimus.com/images/gallery/7362xanarchy%20reigns%205.30%20(12).jpg yellow costume] in ''{{s|wikipedia|Anarchy Reigns}}'', which itself inspired her yellow costume in ''Smash''.

*'''Goro Maze-Solving Robot:''' A series of two robots designed by [[Namco]] for {{s|wikipedia|Micromouse}} competitions.<ref>http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/mappy-misc/</ref> The titular character of the {{uvm3|Mappy}} series, appearing in the [[Namco Roulette]], originated as one of these robots, with the game being inspired by the competitions.  

*'''{{s|wikipedia|Ishikawa Goemon}}:''' Goemon, a Japanese folk hero based on an outlaw from the 16th century, serves as the basis for [[Goemon|a Konami character of the same name]], whose appearance inspires a Mii costume in ''Ultimate''.  

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Journey to the West}}:''''' An ancient Chinese novel and legend depicting the adventures of Sun Wukong the monkey king, known as ''Son Gokū'' in <!--Dragon Ball's Goku, while also being based on the same character, has nothing to do with Smash, so don't add him here.--> The {{uvm|Yūyūki}} universe is based upon this novel, with its main character [[List of spirits (Others)#Goku & Chao|Goku]] being based upon the Monkey King.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Korobeiniki}}:''''' A 19th century Russian folk song, based on a poem by {{s|wikipedia|Nikolay Nekrasov}}. The "{{SSBBMusicLink|Nintendo|Tetris: Type A}}" track is based on this song.

*'''{{s|wikipedia|Marvel}}:''' Various characters from this multimedia company's comic books, such as the {{iw|wikipedia|Avengers|comics}} and the {{s|wikipedia|X-Men}}, are referenced in the [[Palutena's Guidance#Ryu|Palutena's Guidance]] for Ryu. Namely, Viridi's line "cyborgs, androids, mutants, giant monsters, super heroes, aliens, and demons," referring to the ''{{s|wikipedia|Marvel vs. Capcom}}'' series, in which both Ryu and the aforementioned characters are playable.

*'''{{s|wikipedia|Mickey Mouse}}:''' An anthropomorphic cartoon mouse created in 1928 by Walt Disney, serving as the main character of the eponymous franchise and the mascot of [[Disney]]. Mickey's emblem appears as the keychain of {{SSBU|Sora}}'s Keyblade; however, references to him and other Disney characters are otherwise minimized in ''Smash''.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Peter and Wendy}}:''''' A play and novel by J. M. Barrie, telling the tale of {{iw|wikipedia|Peter Pan}}, the boy who never grew up, famous for being able to fly with a combination of happy thoughts and fairy dust. The plot was later adapted into [[wikipedia:Peter Pan (1953 film)|a film by Walt Disney in 1953]], which is one of the more famous adaptations. Link's original green look is based off the design of Peter Pan (with his association with fairies paying homage to {{iw|wikipedia|Tinker Bell}}), and Sora's on-screen appearance features him flying around using the power of flight he obtained from Neverland in the original ''Kingdom Hearts''.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|The Red Badge of Courage}}:''''' A historical fiction novel written by Stephen Crane. A very loose depiction of [[List of spirits (Others)#Henry Fleming|Henry Fleming]], the main protagonist of the novel, appears as a character in ''Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.'', which appears as a spirit in ''Ultimate''.  

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Star Wars}}:''''' A science-fantasy multimedia franchise created by {{s|wikipedia|George Lucas}}. The [[Beam Sword]] is loosely based upon the {{s|wikipedia|lightsaber}}, using similar sound effects in the Japanese version of ''64''; the international release of ''64'' and all versions of ''Melee'' had more distinct sound effects, but all versions of the series from ''Brawl'' onward use similar sounds to the original Japanese ''64''.

*'''''{{s|wikipedia|Train Your Brain}}:''''' A self-help book written by Japanese neuroscientist {{s|wikipedia|Ryuta Kawashima}}. The {{uv|Brain Age}} universe is based upon this book, and [[Dr. Kawashima]] himself appears as an Assist Trophy.
