User:The Jacketed Terrapin/List of unrepresented universes
Note: This sandbox has yet to be finished.
This is a list of Nintendo IPs or franchises that have yet to receive representation in the Super Smash Bros. series. Third-party universes with atleast one Nintendo-published installment are allowed, as long as that installment is published by Nintendo either worldwide, in Japan, or atleast in the region it first came out in (as long as it's a brand new game and not a port, unless the port was based on a Nintendo-published/distributed game like Killer Instinct or Cruis'n or is directly developed in-house by a Nintendo division such as Crystalis).
Unless it's based on something that was created and is owned by Nintendo (such as Nester of Nintendo Power), this list will not include games/franchises based on non-video game properties, such as Popeye, Kung Fu/Kung-Fu Master (which is based on Spartan X, the Japanese release of Wheels on Meals), or the Jump Stars games (a duology of crossover games featuring various characters from various Shonen Jump franchises, such as Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece).
