This page is dedicated to all the rumors that have been floating around the internet. The most famous one being the Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails in Melee.
Sonic & Tails?
This is most famous rumor in Melee. An April Fool's joke said that Sonic and Tails could be unlocked after defeating 20 enemies in Cruel Melee. This has been proven false by countless people.
However, Sonic has become a playable character in Brawl, and Tails shows up in cameos.
Toad in Melee?
Another infamous rumor featured Toad as a playable character in Melee. To get Toad, one must shoot all the credits at the end of the game. Since Toad is one of Peach's attacks, it was easily proven false.
Master Hand in The Original?
Videos all over YouTube have claimed to unlock Master Hand in Super Smash Bros, via spinning the control stick 30 times on the select screen. The only way to play as Master Hand is through a cheat device, such as an Action Replay.
Clouds of Bosses?
A popular theory states that at the beginning of the Subspace Emissary when Meta Knight's ship appears, various faces show when the ghastly clouds form. People have speculated this to be four major bosses throughout the game. This seems to be coincidence at best, much like Rorschach inkblot tests. Many people believe the four "faces" resemble Ganondorf, Master Hand, Bowser, and Ridley. As it were, all four characters where villains during the game, two being bosses. Many believed the Ganondorf cloud could have also been Mewtwo, who is no longer a playable character in Brawl.
Ridley, Bowser Jr, and Wind-Waker Link
At one point shortly after the game's announcement, a rumor began floating around that Ridley, Wind-Waker/Cel-Shaded Link (Toon Link), and Bowser, Jr. would be playable characters. There was also the rumor of Young Link, Ice Climbers, and Mr. Game and Watch being dropped. The alleged source was a radio interview with Masahiro Sakurai. This was proven to be mostly false, with the exception of Toon Link replacing Young Link. However, this appears to be mostly cosmetic, as T. Link plays much like Y. Link.
No More Clones
Another popular rumor stated that Sakurai claimed clones will not be in Brawl. That would mean Dr. Mario, Roy, Pichu, Ganondorf, Falco, Young Link, and (to a lesser extent) Luigi, would be removed or redesigned for Brawl. This has has been proven mostly true. The majority of clone type characters have been differentiated compared to the level of similarity in Melee, while others have been dropped entirely.
