Jigglypuff

Jigglypuff is a character from the Pokémon series. Its first appearance was in Pokemon Blue & Red. It is a round, pink, ball-like Pokémon that can float through the air for a short time. There is a species of Jigglypuff, and a character Jigglypuff (similar to Yoshi, Toad, and Pikachu); with the character, Jigglypuff, appearing in the Super Smash Bros. Series.

Super Smash Bros. Series
Jigglypuff is first seen in the original Super Smash Bros. Jigglypuff was the first of the four unlockables, unlocked by beating 1-P Mode once, and then beating its (however, if specific conditions to unlock Captain Falcon and Ness are met beforehand, they will be battled first). Although it does not have many powerful attacks, its ability to float (technically, a five-fold jump), is one of its best abilities in the game, like Kirby's own ability. It needs this ability, being a very light character. Jigglypuff has one very powerful, very risky attack called Rest, which will almost always KO anyone, if close enough, and cause Jigglypuff to fall asleep. But, if not done correctly, it may just fall asleep, and that's it.

Jigglypuff returned in Super Smash Bros. Melee, retaining the same position it had in the previous game. It was still unlockable, and was unlocked the exact same way. Like other re-introduced characters, Jigglypuff's normal B move, Pound, was moved to Side B, and Rollout took its place. Once used, the player could charge up the attack and, once charged up enough, will send Jigglypuff rolling across the ground at top speed, devastating anyone who is unlucky enough to be in the way.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Jigglypuff returns as an unlockable character once again. This information was accidentally leaked in an interview with Solid Snake's voice actor David Hayter (when asked what Brawl character he would like to beat up, he replied "Jigglypuff".) In its Final Smash, Puff Up, it increases in size dramatically, bouncing players off of it at great speed.

Solid Snake Codec Conversation

 * Snake: Aw, there's a big eyeball walking around here...
 * Colonel: That's just Jigglypuff.
 * Snake: Jigglypuff? Is that some kind of marshmallow?
 * Colonel: Jigglypuff is a balloon-shaped Pokémon. It may be light and puffy and full of air, but its Sleep ability is devastating.
 * Snake: Sleep...? What's so devastating about it going to sleep?
 * Colonel: The instant it falls asleep, there's a huge buildup of energy in its center of gravity. If it hits you, it's lights out for sure.
 * Snake: So it puts a lot of energy into sleeping? Sounds pretty irresponsible if you ask me.
 * Colonel: Takes all kinds, Snake. Especially here in Brawl.

Role in the Subspace Emissary
Like Toon Link and Wolf O'Donnell, it makes a rather minor Subspace Emissary appearance. After finding a red door in a Donkey Kong Island stage, the player will be taken to Pokemon Stadium where Jigglypuff is singing. When it sees the arrival of the player, it thinks they are opponents and fights them. Once defeated, it'll join the player's party.

Other Information
The Super Smash Bros. series dawned a new popularity for Jigglypuff, and it has become one of the most popular Pokémon. In the first two games, Jigglypuff was voiced by Rachael Lillis in the English Dub, and Mika Kanai in the original Japanese. This marks its as one of the only five characters who have an English voice actor, the others being Mario, Dr. Mario, Luigi and Peach. Additionally, if Kirby uses Rollout, he will always say "Purin", which is Jigglypuff's Japanese name. Jigglypuff's name and voice have been localized throughout Europe as well, in French as Rondoudou, and in German as Pummeluff.
