User:BubzieBobkat/List of semantic universes

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

Mario Kart

Does not qualify within my current idea of the rules, but is officially considered its own thing in Smash.

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

Only considered seperate by me due to his scant representation. Gyromite song, victory theme, and certain alts.

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 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 Spirits. 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.

Oddity

Oddity (universe)
Developer(s)	Azure Studios
Publisher(s)	Unknown, possibly vaporware
Genre(s)	RPG
Console/platform of origin	Microsoft Windows
First installment	Oddity (currently unreleased)

Oddity is an RPG taking place in a suburban setting, heavily inspired by EarthBound, it was originally intended as a fan game under the name Mother 4. The game has notably had a rocky development cycle, originally planed for Winter 2019, and gaining a strong enough following for its protagonist Travis to be featured in many general EarthBound and Smash fan works such as Smashified!, before being delayed indefinitely.

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.

The Offspring

Disney's Peter Pan

Developer(s)	Doki Denki Studios Crawfish Interactive Gorila Systems Blue 52 Games

Diddy Kong Racing

Diddy Kong Racing (universe)
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)
Developer(s)	Disney Interactive Capcom WayForward Various
Publisher(s)	Disney Interactive Capcom Various
Genre(s)	Adventure Comedy
Console/platform of origin	Nintendo 64
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.

Goofy

Goofy (universe)
Developer(s)	Disney Interactive Krome Studios Capcom The Code Monkeys Absolute Entertainment

Genre(s)	Comedy
Console/platform of origin	Movie (debut)
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.
