Creature description
Jigglypuff first appeared in Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, and is noted for being one of the cutest Pokémon in the series. Jigglypuff is similar to Kirby in appearance, but with larger eyes, thinner limbs, and large, triangular ears, as well as a curled tuft of hair on on its head. It is most-known for its singing ability, which puts anyone that can hear its song to sleep (ironically, while Sing is one of Jigglypuff's greatest assets and signature move in the games and anime, it is relatively useless in the Super Smash Bros. series). This trait was used comically in the anime where the same Jigglypuff would show up every few episodes, attempt to sing for everyone nearby, and then, upon finding that they all fell asleep during the song, draw on the faces of the "audience" with a marker hidden in its microphone. It may have been this recurring role in the anime, coupled with its cute appearance, that made Jigglypuff a popular enough Pokémon to be playable in both Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee.
In Super Smash Bros.
As a playable character
- Main article: Jigglypuff (SSB)
Jigglypuff is one of the four secret characters in Super Smash Bros. and is considered to be the easiest one to unlock. Her Rest attack is considered to be one of the powerful moves in the game. Some of her moves are the same as Kirby's and has the same jump as Kirby. Jigglypuff is in the middle of the tier list, directly above Mario.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
As a playable character
- Main article: Jigglypuff (SSBM)
Jigglypuff returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee as one of the 11 secret characters. She is unlockable after clearing Classic or Adventure with any character. Jigglypuff remains in the middle of the tier list, once again directly above Mario, and, like a few other characters, has a new Neutral B move, Rollout, which replaces her previous standard special move, Pound, which has become her Forward B move.
In Single-player
Jigglypuff appears on Classic on any Pokemon stage and sometimes appears in a Doubles, Giant or a Team Match. In All-Star Jigglypuff's stage is Poke Floats.
Trophies
- Jigglypuff
- This Balloon Pokemon invites its opponents in close with its big, round eyes and then puts them to sleep with a soothing lullaby. It puffs itself up when angry, and while it may look adorable, it's not to be trifled with: it knows several powerful techniques. Jigglypuff evolves into Wigglytuff after exposure to a Moon Stone.
- Jigglypuff (Smash Red)
- Jigglypuff's normal attacks are weak, and because of its light weight it's easily sent flying. However, with its incredible midair agility, it seems to dance when airborne. Rollout is a powerful speed attack, but be careful not to fly off the edge. Pound does serious damage, and it can also help as a recovery move. (B: Rollout, Smash B: Pound)
- Jigglypuff (Smash Blue)
- Jigglypuff can put its enemies to sleep if they are in range of its Sing attack, although the attack does not work on airborne foes. Rest puts Jigglypuff into a deep sleep, but at the instant it drops off, an intense energy force radiates out of the exact center of its body. If this force comes in contact with an enemy, look out! Rest is Jigglypuff's wild card. (Up & B: Sing, Down & B: Rest)
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
It is currently unknown if Jigglypuff will return for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, an ambiguous comment made during an interview by Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter suggests that Jigglypuff will return for the series' third outing.
