Pikachu[edit]
- Bulbapedia article: Pikachu (Super Smash Bros.)
- SmashWiki article: Pikachu
Pikachu is an Electric-type Pokémon and the mascot of the popular Pokémon series made by Game Freak. Pikachu has made some video game appearances alongside Mario, most notably in the Super Smash Bros. series, in which it is a default playable character in every installment. In the Pokémon series, Pikachu is the evolved form of Pichu and evolves into Raichu. Pikachu is voiced by Ikue Ohtani in the Super Smash Bros. series. She also voices Pikachu in Pokémon animation, as well as several mainline games (first in Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition) and various spin-offs.
Pikachu is the only playable Pokémon in the Super Smash Bros. series to have a gender difference. Female Pikachu have a heart-shaped dent at the end of their tail, while the Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series does not except in two of its alternate costumes in Ultimate, which implies that the Pikachu in Smash is male. However, this distinction was not introduced in the Pokémon games until Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Super Smash Bros.[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Pikachu (SSB)
Pikachu appears as a default character in Super Smash Bros. It is one of the game's faster characters in both running and walking speed, but is also among the lightest, meaning that while it can move quickly it can also be KO'd earlier than other characters. Its standard special move is Thunder Jolt, which sends out a ball of electricity that travels along the ground and causes opponents to flinch. Its up special move is Quick Attack, which allows it to move with up to two sudden bursts of speed. Its down special move is Thunder, which sends down a bolt of lightning from the top of the stage to strike opponents.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Pikachu (SSBM)
Pikachu returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee, yet again as a default player. Pikachu's moveset is mostly unchanged from the previous game, though it now has a side special move, Skull Bash, which allows Pikachu to launch itself across the screen and headbutt opponents. In addition, its down special Thunder now appears from a cloud instead of the top of the screen. Pikachu's down smash is now a multi-hitting, electrical spin; additionally, its back throw from the previous game has been moved to its forward throw, though it is much weaker than before.
Pikachu's pre-evolution Pichu also appears as a playable character in this game, with a moveset similar to Pikachu's. In addition, one of Pikachu's alternate costumes in this game is the hat of Red as he appears in the original Pokémon Red and Blue Versions.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Pikachu was one of the first characters revealed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Its moveset remains entirely unchanged, and its Final Smash is Volt Tackle, which causes Pikachu to become a ball of electricity that players can maneuver across the entire screen, damaging any opponents it runs in to.
While Pikachu keeps most of its alternate costumes for this game, its blue alternate costume, the party hat, has been replaced with a pair of goggles, similar to the ones worn by Pichu as one of its alternate costumes. Pikachu is the only character in the game to have only four palette swaps.
The Subspace Emissary[edit]
Pikachu begins the game trapped within a strange device that harnesses its electrical energy to provide power to the complex. Samus, infiltrating the complex in search of her Power Suit, sees that the device causes Pikachu pain, and breaks it. In thanks, Pikachu helps Samus continue through the lab. Eventually, the pair come across Samus's Power Suit within a tank. After dispatching two clones of Samus, Pikachu helps Samus (in her newly regained Power Suit) through the rest of the facility and helps her defeat Ridley.
After escaping from the complex, Pikachu and Samus infiltrate the Subspace Bomb Factory and encounter the Ancient Minister. Despite Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Captain Falcon, and Captain Olimar coming in soon after, the Ancient Minister does not fight back, and tries to stop the other R.O.B.s from obeying Ganondorf. Ganondorf gets the R.O.B.s to set up multiple Subspace Bombs, and the Ancient Minister, with the R.O.B.s no longer under his control, reveals himself to be the head R.O.B. of the island and helps Pikachu and the others defeat the Subspace Army and escape the island in the Falcon Flyer before it is consumed by Subspace.
Pikachu and the rest of its team join the remaining heroes in their last stand against Subspace, only to be defeated by Tabuu. Fortunately, King Dedede had planned this in advance and created badges that revived fighters from being trophies. Using these, he is able to form a team consisting of himself, Luigi, and Ness. Dedede and his group then revived most of the others, including Pikachu, before everyone has rejoined and proceeded to face Tabuu in a final battle.

- SmashWiki article: Pikachu (SSB4)
Pikachu is once again a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, its moveset once again unchanged from its previous appearances. Pikachu's Thunder move, which still summons a cloud, now acts as a meteor smash, which can do further damage to opponents.
In addition to its alternate costumes in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, two of its new alternate costumes are the hats of Ethan and Calem, the male trainers in Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions and Pokémon X and Y, respectively.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Pikachu (SSBU)
Pikachu returns as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Its Final Smash has it travel across the screen at a much faster speed than before, though the move needs to connect with another fighter in order to continue, and missing can lead to a self-destruct. It also has two new alternate costumes, one that swaps it out for the female Pikachu Libre and another where it wears Selene's cap from Pokémon Sun and Moon. Pikachu has various alterations to its moves and now appears angry during many attacks. Some of Pikachu's standard attacks receive names: its standard attack is Headbutt, its dash attack is Running Headbutt, its down smash is Electric Flower, its back aerial is Glider, and its down aerial is Electric Skew.
Pikachu's fighter spirits use its respective artwork from Pokémon Global Link. Pikachu also appears in various support spirits.
Classic Mode route[edit]
By completing Pikachu's Classic Mode route, it is possible to unlock Villager, Shulk, R.O.B., Mega Man, Isabelle, Mr. Game & Watch, or Pichu. Pikachu's Classic Mode route has it facing off against other Pokémon. The route's name, "I Choose You!", is a common phrase throughout the Pokémon franchise (for example, it is used in the title of the first episode of the Pokémon anime).

Captain Falcon[edit]
- FZerowiki article: Captain Falcon
- SmashWiki article: Captain Falcon
- “Show me your moves!”
- —Captain Falcon, Super Smash Bros.
Captain Falcon is the main character from the F-Zero series. He is an F-Zero racer and a secret bounty hunter, with a mysterious past. Throughout the Super Smash Bros. series, Captain Falcon is known for his blend of speed and power, as well as his various signature moves, such as the Falcon Punch and Knee Smash. In addition, the Male Wire Frame and Red Alloy are modeled after Captain Falcon, having some of the exact same attacks and similar idle poses. In the Super Smash Bros. series, Captain Falcon is voiced by Ryo Horikawa, speaking English with a false American accent.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Captain Falcon has appeared as a playable character in every game in the Super Smash Bros. series released thus far. He is readily available in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, whereas he is unlockable in the original Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Super Smash Bros.[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Captain Falcon (SSB)
Captain Falcon appears as an unlockable character in the original Super Smash Bros., and is unlocked by clearing 1-P Mode in under 20 minutes and defeating him on Planet Zebes. Despite having a slow walking speed, Captain Falcon has the fastest running speed. His attacks, however, despite being powerful, are for the most part slow. His design in this game is based on his design from F-Zero X, though his outfit is indigo instead of blue.
Captain Falcon's special attacks are unique in that none of them are based upon any aspect of his series of origin. His special moves are the Falcon Punch, which involves Captain Falcon throwing a delayed, yet powerful, fiery punch; Falcon Kick, which has Captain Falcon performing a flame-engulfed flying kick; and Falcon Dive, in which Falcon leaps and causes a small explosion against an opponent he makes contact with.
Captain Falcon is also unique in that he has a total of six playable alternate color schemes beginning with this installment, with two of the recolors being team battle exclusive. One of Captain Falcon's alternate costumes is that of his evil clone, Blood Falcon, including a patch on his uniform saying "25 - Blood Hawk", which corresponds to the number and name of Blood Falcon's own F-Zero machine. Another one of his colors recolors the original, brighter colors used in the F-Zero series. Captain Falcon and Yoshi have the most color changes of the selectable characters in the game, totaling six, although two of Yoshi's colors are not selectable.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Captain Falcon (SSBM)
Captain Falcon appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee, this time as a default character instead of an unlockable character (a trait shared with Ness). Captain Falcon also appears as an opponent in Adventure Mode, All-Star Mode, and Event Matches 12, 17, 20, 33, 36, and 43. He is also one of the random characters in Trophy Tussle 1, 2, and 3. Captain Falcon's fighting techniques are shared with Ganondorf, who has similar abilities, but is much slower and has more powerful attacks.
Many of Captain Falcon's moves, such as his smash attacks and neutral aerial, have been completely changed and updated. He also received the side special move Raptor Boost, in which he charges forward to throw a flame-engulfed punch that differs depending on his position: he throws an uppercut while grounded, or an overhand while airborne.
Captain Falcon has a unique way of using certain items in this game. For example, when using a Home-Run Bat, Captain Falcon slams the opponent down and then up again, instead of hitting them across the screen. According to the trophy information of the Star Rod, it has the most power when it is used with a Smash Attack of Captain Falcon or Sheik.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Captain Falcon (SSBB)
Captain Falcon appears as an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and can be unlocked by clearing stage 20 in The Subspace Emissary, playing 70 versus matches, or by clearing Classic Mode in 12 minutes on at least Normal difficulty. However, he has been superseded by Sonic the Hedgehog as the fastest runner. Captain Falcon's design is now primarily based on F-Zero GX, though he wears a scarf similar to his design in F-Zero: GP Legend. Captain Falcon's Final Smash is the Blue Falcon, in which he summons the machine to run over any players he catches.
The Subspace Emissary[edit]
In The Subspace Emissary, Captain Falcon saves Captain Olimar and his Pikmin from a giant R.O.B. Later, he and Olimar save Donkey Kong with the help of Diddy Kong and they join a team with them. After getting through the Subspace Bomb Factory, they meet up with Samus and Pikachu but soon, Ganondorf appears and gets all R.O.B.s in the factory to burn the Ancient Minister and detonate Subspace Bombs to create a giant hole in space. The Minister turns out to be a R.O.B. himself, who joins Falcon's team, and then, after the Subspace Army is taken care of, the whole team decides to leave the area.
Captain Falcon calls his Falcon Flyer and after everyone gets on, they are attacked by Meta Ridley, whom must be defeated in a certain time limit. they all fly to The Canyon where they meet up with everyone else. Everyone enters Subspace and find themselves being turned into trophies by Tabuu. King Dedede and his group then arrive and revive Captain Falcon and most of the others until everyone is revived and able to take on Tabuu.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Captain Falcon (SSB4)
Captain Falcon appears as a default character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Although his moveset has remained overwhelmingly the same in regard to aesthetics, it has undergone noticeable mechanical changes that, when coupled with the general gameplay changes, significantly improve his combo game.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Captain Falcon (SSBU)
Captain Falcon appears as an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He is faster on the ground and in the air, while Raptor Boost no longer renders him helpless in the air if he manages to hit an opponent with it. On a related note, Raptor Boost has been repurposed from a potent KO option into a very reliable combo starter. However, both direct and indirect changes to a number of his moves, particularly to his dash grab and down throw, have resulted in his moveset being riskier to use.
In the World of Light, Captain Falcon is present when the fighters oppose Galeem for the first time. When Galeem begins to vaporize the fighters with a barrage of energy beams, Captain Falcon attempts to flee in his Blue Falcon, but is also vaporized before he can board it.
Captain Falcon's fighter spirit uses his artwork from F-Zero GX.

Other elements from the F-Zero series appear in the game in the The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8 and Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8 DLC packs; Captain Falcon's trademark Blue Falcon and F-Zero themed tracks named Mute City and Big Blue respectively, which even features F-Zero music. Artwork of Captain Falcon from F-Zero X also appears on large television screens around Mute City, along with his signature quote, "Show me your moves!"

Jigglypuff[edit]
- Bulbapedia article: Jigglypuff (Super Smash Bros.)
- SmashWiki article: Jigglypuff
Jigglypuff is a Normal/Fairy-type Pokémon (a pure Normal-type Pokémon prior to the Fairy type's introduction in Generation VI) from the Pokémon series. Its first appearance was in the Japanese Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green, which later became the international Pokémon Red Version and Pokémon Blue Version. Classified as the Balloon Pokémon, Jigglypuff evolves from Igglybuff and into Wigglytuff.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
Super Smash Bros.[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Jigglypuff (SSB)
In the original Super Smash Bros., Jigglypuff is an unlockable character, unlocked by clearing 1P Game once, and then defeating it on Saffron City. Jigglypuff is voiced by Rachael Lillis in English and Mika Kanai in the original Japanese, its respective voice actors in Pokémon media.
Jigglypuff was designed to be the weakest character in the game.[1] Jigglypuff is the lightest playable character; while it has up to five midair jumps, tied with Kirby for the most, Jigglypuff can also be launched the easiest. In addition, when Jigglypuff's shield breaks, it is launched higher into the air than any other character, potentially KOing it. Jigglypuff also has a high air speed and the lowest falling speed, but also has low walking and dashing speeds. Its attacks are also slow and weak.
Jigglypuff's neutral special is Pound, in which it slaps its opponents. Its up special is Sing, which puts nearby opponents to sleep, and its down special is Rest, which sends any opponents close enough flying but puts Jigglypuff to sleep.
The Japanese version of the game has both "Purin!" and "Jigglypuff!" announcements.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Jigglypuff (SSBM)
Jigglypuff returns in Super Smash Bros. Melee. According to its page on the Japanese website, Sakurai was torn over whether to have Jigglypuff return or not, but kept it so as to not leave behind fans of the character.[1] Like in the original Super Smash Bros., Jigglypuff can be unlocked by clearing Classic or Adventure with any character, or by playing 50 Melee matches, and then defeating it on Pokémon Stadium.
Like other re-introduced characters, Jigglypuff's neutral special move, Pound, was made into its side special move, and its new neutral special move is Rollout, which allows Jigglypuff to charge an attack in which it rolls across the screen. Its air speed has been increased for this game, giving it the highest air speed of any character. All of Jigglypuff's jumps also now give height, though the height given decreases as it continues to jump.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
- SmashWiki article: Jigglypuff (SSBB)
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Jigglypuff returns as an unlockable character once again. It can be unlocked by clearing at least 20 Event Matches after finishing The Subspace Emissary, playing 350 Brawl matches, or by having it join the party in The Subspace Emissary. Similarly to the previous game, Jigglypuff (along with Wolf and Toon Link) was nearly cut from the game due to time constraints.[2] Jigglypuff has only five recolors in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, instead of the usual six; this is shared with Pokémon Trainer, Lucario, and Sonic.
While Jigglypuff's general moveset is unchanged, it has been given a Final Smash, Puff Up. Jigglypuff increases in size dramatically, bouncing players off of it at great speed.
The Subspace Emissary[edit]
Like Toon Link and Wolf, it makes a rather minor Subspace Emissary appearance, and is the only veteran character who does not appear in the main story of The Subspace Emissary. After finding a red door in The Swamp stage, the player will be taken to Pokémon Stadium 2 and fight Jigglypuff in a one-stock match. Once defeated, it will join the player's party.

It can be unlocked in the Nintendo 3DS version by collecting 30 pieces of equipment, or by winning 120 matches, and is the only playable Pokémon character to be unlockable in the game. All of its moves and its Final Smash from Super Smash Bros. Brawl are kept in this game.

Jigglypuff appears as an unlockable playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Compared to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, it moves faster on the ground and in the air, and many of its attacks are more powerful. In addition, Jigglypuff makes an angry expression during its Puff Up move.
World of Light[edit]
Jigglypuff is not seen when the fighters oppose Galeem for the first time. However, it is hit by one of Galeem's beams of light and imprisoned in the World of Light like the other non-DLC fighters (except for Kirby), and multiple puppet fighters of it are created. The actual Jigglypuff is eventually defeated, awakening it, and it joins Kirby's team in the battle against Galeem and Dharkon.
