Fighter Movie Appearances

This is a list I've made in my free time here. This is a list of every movie, movie short, and television show every Smash character has appeared in to date. Please note that it only contains video-game related media, as well as more major appearances, so guest appearances in shows (such as MAD for example), will not be counted, despite characters from Smash making an appearance there. I try to keep this page updated as best I can, but that doesn't mean I haven't missed anything. If I missed any details (such as characters, media I skipped over, or newly-announced things I haven't yet heard about) or if you have any suggestions on how I could improve this page, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Super Mario Bros.	TBD	Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser	I apparently missed the memo, but apparently on December 2014, Sony Pictures is managing to slowly get the rights from Nintendo to create an animated remake of the film, with Avi Arad being involved. Let's just hope this time it goes right if it gets made....
Untitled Live Action Pokémon Movie	TBD	Pikachu	This was just recently announced. The Pokémon Company is auctioning off the rights to a live action movie, with big companies such as Legendary, Warner Bros., and Sony eyeing it. Legendary is in the lead in the auction. It'll most likely suck, but let's hope it's still at least better than the anime.
Metal Gear Solid	TBD	Solid Snake	First movie appearance for Snake.
Mega Man	TBD	Mega Man	First movie appearance for Mega Man.
Wreck-It Ralph 2	TBD		It's a major video game movie. Someone will appear....most likely Mario, because they did say they'd like Mario in the sequel. On March 24, 2016, Rich Moore stated that a sequel is still being planned. Moore also hopes to specifically include an appearance from Mario, citing a "good relationship with Nintendo".

Cancelled Movies

Super Mario Bros. 2	N/A	Mario, Luigi	While not outright confirmed, a sequel was hinted at the end of the first movie, but would've been ultimately dropped due to the critical failure of the first movie.
The Legend of Zelda	Cancelled by 2007	Link, Zelda	Would've been the first movie appearance for Link and Zelda. In 2007, Imagi Animation Studios, who provided the animation for TMNT and Astro Boy, created a pitch reel for a computer-animated Legend of Zelda movie, though Nintendo didn't take the studio up on their offer due to the failure of the live-action movie adaption of Super Mario Bros.
Metroid	Cancelled by 2007	Samus Aran	Would've been the first movie appearance for Samus. The movie was first agreed upon in 2003 with Nintendo being on board, but was cancelled sometime in 2007 due to Nintendo not having a good grasp of Samus's origin at the time, and didn't feel comfortable with the production team being in charge of creating her origin due to the commercial flop of Super Mario Bros.

Fan films

Fan films follow under a different set of rules compared to the other categories here: They must be notorious enough to be noticed by the original creators, and said creators have to publicly state their opinions about it. If a fan film does not meet this requirement, it will not be added to this list. Additionally, any and all characters in this category will not follow under the "first movie appearance" habit, nor will any of them be removed from the "Unannounced" section if they appear here. If you happen to know of one that meets this requirement that isn't already here, please take it to the talk page with proof of the film's existence and proof that it meets the requirement.

Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy	9/27/2009	Solid Snake
The Legend of Zelda: The Hero of Time	12/14/2009	Link, Zelda, Sheik, Ganondorf	Strangely enough, despite being based entirely on Ocarina of Time, Young Link does not appear in any form in the movie, even before Link pulled the Master Sword.
