The cast of 35 playable characters (40 if [[Sheik]] and [[Zero Suit Samus]] are included and the three different Pokémon of the [[Pokémon Trainer]] are treated as individual characters alongside the Trainer) includes twenty returning veterans from ''Melee'' and fifteen newcomers. Of these, 21 are [[starter character]]s and fourteen [[unlockable character|need to be unlocked]]. Many of the returning characters have been updated or refined since their last appearance, either in terms of appearance, fighting capabilities, or both. For example, [[Link]] and [[Fox McCloud]] have taken on new designs from more recent titles, while [[Samus Aran]] has gained the ability to change into a new form, [[Zero Suit Samus]], by using her [[Final Smash]] or by the player pressing a certain button after picking Samus and before picking a stage. | The cast of 35 playable characters (40 if [[Sheik]] and [[Zero Suit Samus]] are included and the three different Pokémon of the [[Pokémon Trainer]] are treated as individual characters alongside the Trainer) includes twenty returning veterans from ''Melee'' and fifteen newcomers.
