In Super Smash Bros. Melee
Lucas was originally going to replace Ness as the Mother rep. However, possibly due to time restraints and/or the cancellation of Earthbound 64, this never went into effect and the game released without any Mother 3 representation.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Lucas is a semi-clone of Ness in Super Smash Bro. Brawl, representing the Mother 3 game. New Pork City, a location from Mother 3, appears as a stage, with the Ultimate Chimera randomly appearing to roam around on it. Porky Statue, Lucas himself, and Lucas's Final Smash, PK Starstorm, appear as trophies. Porky's Theme, Unfounded Revenge / Smashing Song of Praise, Mother 3 Love Theme, and You Call This a Utopia?! appear as music tracks. Finally, Lucas, Claus, Kumatora, Duster, Boney, Salsa, Hinawa, Flint, Pig Mask, and Mr. Saturn in its Mother 3 appear as stickers.
In Super Smash Bros. 4
Lucas does not return in the base roster, instead being DLC, along with the trophy of himself, a trophy of his alt, and the trophy of his final smash. While New Pork City doesn't return, the Porky Statue and Ultimate Chimera make appearances as trophies. Every Mother 3 music piece besides of You Call This a Utopia?! returns.
3D Land appears as a stage to represent Super Mario 3D Land. The Boomerang from Super Mario 3D Land appears as both an item and trophy. Other trophies from that game include Tanooki Mario & Kitsune Luigi, Boomerang Mario, and Mario (With Propeller Box). Super Mario 3D Land Theme / Beach Theme appears to represent Super Mario 3D Land while Super Bell Hill appears as a music track to represent Super Mario 3D World.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Lucas returns as a member of the base roster, along with New Pork City. Every Mother 3 music track from Brawl returns. Flint, Hinawa, Boney, Duster, Kumatora, Salsa, Ultimate Chimera, Absolutely Safe Capsule, Masked Man, Claus appear as spirits.
New Donk City appears as a stage, with Mario gaining a new taunt, a new costume, and a slightly changed up special to reference Super Mario Odyssey. Bowser (Wedding), Peach (Wedding), Cappy, and The Odyssey appear as spirits. The Boomerang item returns, along with the 3D Land stage. Cat Princess Peach, Sprixie Princesses, and Plessie appear as spirits.
