Super Smash Bros. (series): Difference between revisions

|The first-billed and most heavily represented franchise in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series; characters from the ''Mario'' series have appeared in all four released games. While the series is quite abundant in content from all the sub-series of the ''Mario'' franchise, it has, primarily, a strong focus on the platforming ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games, the kart racing ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games and, to a lesser extent, the ''[[Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's]] [[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon|Mansion]]'' games. The ''Mario'' characters playable in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series are [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] (both since ''Super Smash Bros.''), [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], [[Dr. Mario]] (starting with ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', although Dr. Mario is not playable in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''), [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma (species)|Luma]], [[Bowser Jr.]] with seven model swaps that each replace him with one of the [[Koopalings]] (since ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''), [[Princess Daisy]], and [[Piranha Plant]] (both in the upcoming ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the latter as DLC)<ref name="E32018Direct" /><ref name="NovemberDirect" />. Although the ''Mario'' series also includes such characters as [[Yoshi]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[Wario]], they are excluded from the list, due to having their own series and logos.
