Skull Kid: Difference between revisions

'''Skull Kids''' ({{ja|スタルキッド|Sutarukiddo}}, ''Stal Kid'') are recurring characters in ''{{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}'' series. They appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as [[sticker]]s. The one from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask}}'' appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', wearing the titular mask, as an [[Assist Trophy]].

Skull Kid himself did not appear, but he was mentioned in the description of the {{h2|List of SSBM trophies (The Legend of Zelda series)|Four Giants}} [[trophy]] and the {{h2|List of SSBM trophies (The Legend of Zelda series)|Majora's Mask}} trophy.

Skull Kids appear on two [[sticker]]s in ''Brawl''.

The Skull Kid from ''The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask'' appears in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' as an Assist Trophy. As one of the [[Tips]] mentions, Skull Kid is one of the only Assist Trophies to have potentially detrimental effects to both enemies and the user. When he appears, he can do one of three things, chosen at random:

*Flips the camera upside-down, similar to [[Palkia]]'s effect in [[Spear Pillar]].

*Turns all fighters invisible.

Skull Kids first appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' as minor characters, but one returns (specifically, the one who befriends Link once he plays Saria's Song to him) in ''Majora's Mask'' as the main antagonist in the game under the control of [[Majora's Mask]]. This Skull Kid is the basis for ''Super Smash Bros. 4'''s Assist Trophy. A Skull Kid (thought to be the same one as he knows Saria's Song) also appears as a minor character in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'' as a miniboss.

The Skull Kid's attack as an Assist Trophy is not based on any known ability of Majora's Mask itself, although Skull Kid has been seen using the power of the mask to curse people for his own amusement. Two of his attacks, however, have a mechanic that makes reference to the {{s|zeldawiki|Stone Tower}} and its [[zeldawiki:Stone Tower Temple|respective temple]], which must be inverted for Link to progress.

*Usually, when Skull Kid makes the fighters invisible, they stay invisible upon losing a life. However, if this happens in [[Smash Tour]], the newly-respawned character will [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHiJVm2POg become visible.]

*If Skull Kid flips the screen in [[Training Mode]], the training menu and info will also be flipped.
