{{main-external|SmashWiki|Meta Knight (SSBB)}}

Meta Knight appears as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He is a small, quick fighter with fast yet weak attacks. Like in the ''Kirby'' series, Meta Knight's cape can transform into a pair of wings which not only grant him multiple jumps but also the ability to [[smashwiki:glide|glide]]. His ship, the [[Halberd]], also appears as a stage. Meta Knight's voice actor from ''[[wikirby:Kirby: Right Back at Ya!|Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' anime series, Atsushi Kisaichi, provides Meta Knight's voice in the Japanese version ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', while [[Eric Newsome]], who provided [[Bowser]]'s voice in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', voices him in other versions.

 

Meta Knight's special moves are mostly based on attacks that appear in the ''Kirby'' series, his own or otherwise. His standard special is [[#Mach Tornado|Mach Tornado]], which causes Meta Knight to spin around rapidly to deal damage. His side special is [[#Drill Rush|Drill Rush]], in which Meta Knight charges forward in a spinning motion. His up special is [[#Shuttle Loop|Shuttle Loop]], in which he loops around before flying directly up, dealing two hits afterward. His down special is [[#Dimensional Cape|Dimensional Cape]], in which Meta Knight teleports and can attack by holding the button. His [[Final Smash]] is [[#Galaxia Darkness|Galaxia Darkness]], in which Meta Knight traps opponents by swiping his cape then deals a large sword swipe.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Pit (SSBB)}}

Pit appears as a new fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Pit's design has been significantly altered from his design in the two ''Kid Icarus'' games before, based on [[Masahiro Sakurai]]'s interpretation of what Pit would look like if the ''Kid Icarus'' series had continued after ''Of Myths and Monsters''.<ref>"In bringing [Pit] to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I [Masahiro Sakurai] designed him imagining, 'if the series had continued and he had evolved with it over these long years, what kind of character would he be?'" [http://www.ssbwiki.com/images/a/af/UprisingSakuraiEmail.png Promotional e-mail from Nintendo] for ''Kid Icarus: Uprising''. SmashWiki. Retrieved September 6, 2015.</ref>

 

Pit is voiced by [[Lani Minella]] in English, who also voices [[Lucas]], and would later voice [[Larry Koopa]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.]], [[Wendy O. Koopa]] and [[Lemmy Koopa]] in later ''Super Smash Bros.'' games and several ''Super Mario'' games; in Japanese, he is voiced by {{wp|Minami Takayama}}.

 

Pit carries the Sacred Bow of Palutena, which can fire arrows or split into two blades for up close combat. Because of his wings he is able to jump multiple times, and can also [[smashwiki:glide|glide]]. Pit's standard special move in this game is [[#Palutena Bow|Palutena's Arrow]], which lets him shoot an arrow that can be directed as it flies. His side special move is called [[#Angel Ring|Angel Ring]], which is an attack that spins his bow and deflects projectiles. Pit's down special move is the [[#Mirror Shield|Mirror Shield]], which allows him to reflect any attacks from the front. Finally, his up special move is the [[#Wings of Icarus|Wings of Icarus]], which allows him to briefly fly. Pit's Final Smash, [[#Palutena's Army|Palutena's Army]], summons [[icaruspedia:Centurion|Centurions]] to attack opponents.

 

 

 

 

 

Pit and the others eventually find the Ancient Minister again, this time in [[the Wilds]]. After chasing him for a period of time, the [[R.O.B.]]s intervene and detonate the Subspace Bomb that the Minister had been carrying. Pit and the others escape from the blast and reach [[the Canyon]], where they fought hordes from the Subspace Army and meet other heroes. They were eventually joined by even more fighters before entering [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]], where they met defeat by [[Tabuu]].

 

Fortunately, King Dedede had designed badges (including the one Kirby ate) to revive fighters from their trophy forms after a set amount of time. With [[Luigi]] and [[Ness]] by his side, Dedede rescues Pit and most of the others, while Kirby saves the remainder of the team. They then explore [[the Great Maze]] before reaching Tabuu for their final battle.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Zero Suit Samus (SSBB)}}

When Samus finishes her Final Smash, the [[Samus Aran#Zero Laser|Zero Laser]], the force of the beam is so strong it causes the Power Suit to fall off, allowing Zero Suit Samus to be playable and enabling the use of the discarded pieces of her Power Suit as projectiles. Zero Suit Samus is more swift and agile than her armored form, though lighter and easier to KO. In this state, Samus fights using a gun that can stun opponents and also turn into an energy whip. Zero Suit Samus's standard special move is the [[#Paralyzer|Paralyzer]], in which she fires a blast from the gun that can stun opponents. Her side special is [[#Plasma Whip|Plasma Whip]], in which she fires a whip to the side that deals more damage at the tip. Her up special is [[#Plasma Wire|Plasma Wire]], in which she fires the whip directly up. Finally, her down special is [[#Flip Jump|Flip Jump]], in which she does a jump that can be followed up with a kick. Similar to Samus, Zero Suit Samus's grab also uses the Paralyzer's whip, which gives her an extended grab; this and her up and side specials can all be used as [[smashwiki:tether recovery|tether recoveries]].

 

At the character selection screen, when players select Samus, they can start the battle as Zero Suit Samus by holding the controller's assigned shield button when proceeding to the stage selection screen.

Samus first appears in the Subspace Emissary in her Zero Suit, infiltrating [[The Research Facility]] to retrieve her stolen Power Suit. Along the way, she finds [[Pikachu]] trapped in a power generator and frees it. Eventually, Samus tracks her Power Suit down, but was stopped by evil copies of it. She defeats them and retrieves her suit. She, along with Pikachu, spends most of the Subspace Emissary in either The Research Facility or [[The Subspace Bomb Factory]]. When Samus is selected on the World Map, she can still be turned into Zero Suit Samus by pressing the grab button.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Snake (SSBB)}}

Snake's appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' was revealed from the very first trailer premiered in May 2006. His reveal was very noteworthy, marking the first time a third-party character had debuted in the series. He uses his general appearance from ''[[wikipedia:Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty|Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'', though also taking elements from Big Boss in ''[[wikipedia:Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater|Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'', such as the facial hair and his alternate costumes based upon the camouflage suits. By doing a split-second down [[taunt]] on [[Shadow Moses Island]], Snake contacts one of several ''Metal Gear'' characters by [[List of Snake's codec conversations|codec]] to analyze the opponent, including [[List of Smash Taunt characters#Mei Ling|Mei Ling]], [[List of Smash Taunt characters#Otacon|Otacon]], [[List of Smash Taunt characters#Colonel Roy Campbell|Colonel Roy Campbell]], or [[List of Smash Taunt characters#Slippy Toad|Slippy Toad]] (though only if the character being analyzed is [[Falco Lombardi]]). His [[Final Smash]] is [[#Grenade Launcher|Grenade Launcher]], in which he jumps onto a helicopter and fires grenades on the stage.

 

Snake is the third heaviest character in the game, even surpassing characters such as [[King Dedede]], [[Ganondorf]] and [[Charizard]], and only behind [[Bowser]] and [[Donkey Kong]].

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Ike (SSBB)}}

Ike appears as a playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', using his appearance in ''Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance''. He fights using the two-handed longsword Ragnell, which gives his attacks power and range, but as a result he is slower and heavier than most characters. Ike was not originally intended to be in the game from the start; instead, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] had created a template for a slow but powerful swordsman. As he also wanted to include a new ''Fire Emblem'' character, it was decided that Ike, in addition to being the protagonist of the latest games in the ''Fire Emblem'' series at the time, would be a good fit for the concept. Ike is voiced by Jason Adkins in English, and by Michihiko Hagi in Japanese, his respective voice actors since the release of ''Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance''. This also makes him the first ''Fire Emblem'' character in the series to be given an English voice actor.

 

Ike's neutral special move is [[#Eruption|Eruption]], in which he plunges his sword into the ground to create an explosion. His side special move is [[#Quick Draw|Quick Draw]], which has Ike charge a sword slash that sends him directly forward. His up special is [[#Aether|Aether]], in which Ike throws his sword into the air and slams back into the ground. His down special move is [[#Counter|Counter]], which has Ike deal a counterattack if he is hit. His [[Final Smash]] is [[#Great Aether|Great Aether]], which has him slash any nearby opponents into the air, where he repeatedly attacks them before slamming them back into the ground.

 

Ike makes his debut in the Subspace Emissary near the end of [[The Battlefield Fortress]]. During the story, both [[Marth]] and [[Meta Knight]] fail to stop the [[Ancient Minister]] from carrying another [[Subspace Bomb]] to another location in the trophy world. Hope seems lost for the two, until, out of nowhere, the Ragnell sword begins hovering behind the Ancient Minister, and Ike continues to use Aether on the Subspace Bomb, breaking it and deactivating it, making the Ancient Minister flee. The three warriors continue through the wasteland, finally reaching the Ancient Minister, but are unable to do anything as he floated over a cliff.

 

The three continue to dash onwards through [[The Wilds]], after seeing [[Galleom]] in its tank form. Galleom transforms into its main form after meeting the swordsmen. Ike, Marth, and Meta Knight face off against Galleom afterwords, and then continue into [[The Canyon]]. After Meta Knight had left the group after Galleom was defeated a second time, Ike, alongside [[Pokémon Trainer]], [[Lucas]], and Marth, are seen fighting many Primids, now with the [[Ice Climbers]]. The five "warriors" are then seen ([[Mario]], [[Pit (character)|Pit]], [[Kirby]], [[Link]], and [[Yoshi]]) in the background, jumping off from a bluff to help fight off the army. After awhile, Ike, alongside many others, are flown into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]], where he and all others are turned into trophies. However, [[King Dedede]], [[Ness]], and [[Luigi]] recover him, and others (Kirby also helps afterwards). He and the others are then pitted against [[The Great Maze]], and then the creature whom turned the heroes into trophies, [[Tabuu]].

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)}}

[[File:BrawlPokeTrainer.png|thumb|left|150px|Pokémon Trainer artwork from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]

[[bulbapedia: Red (game)|Red]], albeit known simply as "Pokémon Trainer", is the first playable [[Pokémon]] representative in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series who is not an actual Pokémon. Though a selectable character, he is not an actual fighter, instead commanding any of his three Pokémon in the background of the stage, his team consisting of [[Squirtle]], [[Ivysaur]], and [[Charizard]]. The only move the trainer performs is [[#Pokémon Change|Pokémon Change]], which allows the player to switch out his three Pokémon at will throughout the battle. He also automatically switches Pokémon whenever one is KO'd. The Pokémon also run on a stamina system that weakens them, as their stamina decreases the longer they are out on the field. Their [[Final Smash]] is [[#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]], which has the trainer send out all three Pokémon at once to attack. In English, the Pokémon Trainer is voiced by {{wp|Michele Knotz}}.

 

Pokémon Trainer is one of the few fighters to only get five alternate costumes in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', instead of the usual six. This is also shared with fellow ''Pokémon'' representatives [[Lucario]] and [[Jigglypuff]], as well as [[Sonic]]. One of Pokémon Trainer's alternative costumes has the same colors as another Pokémon Trainer: Brendan's outfit from ''Pokémon Emerald''.

{{br}}

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Squirtle (SSBB)}}

Squirtle is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. However, it takes commands from the [[Pokémon Trainer]], who is the real mastermind behind Squirtle's actions. The other two Pokémon used by Pokémon Trainer are [[Ivysaur]] and [[Charizard]]. When the Pokémon Trainer uses [[Pokémon Change]], his down special move, he returns Squirtle and sends out Ivysaur next, but when used with Charizard, Squirtle is sent out. Squirtle is the lightest of the group, but also attacks the quickest.

 

Squirtle's special moves are derived from [[bulbapedia:Water (type)|Water]]-type attacks from the ''[[bulbapedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]]'' series. Its standard special move is [[#Water Gun|Water Gun]], in which it charges an attack to spit water at opponents. Its side special is [[#Withdraw|Withdraw]], which causes it to charge directly ahead in its shell. Its up special is [[#Waterfall|Waterfall]], which causes Squirtle to leap into the air on a stream of water.

 

Like all Pokémon of the Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle shares the damage meter with the other Pokémon and has a special stamina stat. It is there to regulate the Pokémon changes. When the player changes Pokémon rarely or too often, the stamina of the Pokémon runs low. Squirtle can also wall jump, and has the ability to stick to walls. Finally, Squirtle has a similar type effectiveness to its games of origin, making it take more damage from grass attacks but less from fire attacks. Squirtle is voiced by {{wp|Michele Knotz}}, who also does the voice of the Pokémon Trainer.

 

In the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]], the Pokémon Trainer starts out with only Squirtle. Eventually, he earns Ivysaur and Charizard.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Ivysaur (SSBB)}}

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] starting with ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Ivysaur appears as one of [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s three Pokémon along with [[Squirtle]] and [[Charizard]]. Its standard special move is [[#Bullet Seed|Bullet Seed]], which involves it shooting seeds directly upward, its up special is [[#Vine Whip|Vine Whip]], which has it attack with a vine that strikes upward, and its side special is [[#Razor Leaf|Razor Leaf]], which involves it throwing a grass projectile forward. Its down special is [[Pokémon Trainer#Pokémon Change|Pokémon Change]], in which the Pokémon Trainer returns Ivysaur and sends out Charizard, or sends it out if Squirtle is the active Pokémon. For the group's collective [[Final Smash]], [[Pokémon Trainer#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]], Ivysaur attacks with [[bulbapedia:Solar Beam (move)|SolarBeam]].

 

Ivysaur has a certain amount of stamina, which decreases as it remains on the battlefield and weakens its attacking power. Ivysaur also has an extended grab in the form of two vines, but unlike other characters it does not function as a [[smashwiki:tether recovery|tether recovery]]; this is instead given to Vine Whip. In addition, Ivysaur, like in the ''Pokémon'' games, takes less damage from water attacks but takes more from fire attacks.

 

Ivysaur is found during the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]] part of the game as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] sitting inside a cave before Pokémon Trainer battles Charizard. Pokémon Trainer throws a [[Poké Ball]] at it and it is caught. After that Ivysaur can be used during the campaign.

 

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Charizard (SSBB)}}

Charizard appears as one of the Pokémon used by the [[Pokémon Trainer]] (alongside [[Squirtle]] and [[Ivysaur]]), who remains in the background of a stage while Charizard fights. Charizard is the heaviest of the three Pokémon, but is also the strongest and the fastest, though it walks the slowest. It is also capable of [[smashwiki:glide|gliding]], one of three characters in the entire game with this ability. Like in the ''Pokémon'' games Charizard is also affected by an emulation of the series' [[bulbapedia:Type#Type effectiveness|type effectiveness]]; it takes more damage from water attacks but less from grass attacks. Charizard also has a limited stamina, which decreases as it is on the field but replenishes while it is not, but its attacks are weaker as its stamina decreases.

 

 

In the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]], Charizard is the last Pokémon that the Pokémon Trainer collects. [[Lucas]] and the trainer first see Charizard flying into a mountain, and Pokémon Trainer points out to Lucas that it is the third Pokémon he must collect. After traveling through the mountain, Pokémon Trainer and Lucas find Charizard, who attacks them. The two battle the large Pokémon, which is turned into a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] upon its defeat. The trainer collects the trophy, and Charizard joins the party.

 

====Appearances in other Mario-related media====

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Lucas (SSBB)}}

[[File:BrawlLucas.jpg|thumb|left|Lucas' artwork from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]

Lucas appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a playable character, one of the two representatives from the ''EarthBound'' (''Mother'') series. Lucas' special moveset is almost exactly like [[Ness]]' from the previous games, but with a few minor tweaks. His neutral special is [[#PK Freeze|PK Freeze]], which sends up a snowflake-shaped blast of PSI energy that freezes opponents caught in its blast radius when Lucas sets it off. His side special is [[#PK Fire|PK Fire]], which sends out a lightning bolt-shaped blast of PSI energy directly forward that explodes when it hits. His down special is [[PSI Magnet]], which sets up a barrier of PSI energy in front of himself that absorbs projectiles to restore damage and attack when the barrier is dropped. His up special is [[#PK Thunder|PK Thunder]], which discharges a streaming, electric blast of PSI energy that can attack opponents and/or propel Lucas. His [[Final Smash]], also shared with Ness, is [[#PK Starstorm|PK Starstorm]], which sends groups of shooting stars raining down on the stage in an inward direction. Lucas does not actually learn any of his special moves in ''Mother 3''; rather, they are all learned by his party member [[wikibound:Kumatora|Kumatora]].

 

 

 

Lucas is voiced by Lani Minella, who also voices [[Pit (character)|Pit]].

{{br|left}}

 

 

Lucas first appears alone in [[The Ruined Zoo]]. He is attacked by the [[Porky Statue]], but [[Ness]] arrives to save him. They proceed to fight [[Porky]], but then [[Wario]] arrives with his [[Dark Cannon]] and attempts to hit Ness with it. Ness dodges his attacks, so Wario tries to attack Lucas instead. Lucas doesn't move out of the way, so Ness ends up taking the hit himself. Lucas, scared, runs away and meets the [[Pokémon Trainer]], and they join to fight the [[Subspace Army]], as Lucas cannot forget what Wario had done to Ness.

 

 

At [[The Glacial Peak]], Meta Knight leaves them, but they are then joined by the [[Ice Climbers]] as the Subspace Army is sent out to attack them. [[Mario]], [[Link]], [[Yoshi]], [[Kirby]] and [[Pit (character)|Pit]] then appear and defeated the enemies. Soon, the other remaining heroes show up and they enter [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] together. Unfortunately, Lucas and the others were defeated by [[Tabuu]]. But then Lucas is saved by [[King Dedede]], who had revived Ness and [[Luigi]] with badges. All of the revived heroes then fight and defeat Tabuu.

*Lucas is the only ''Super Smash Bros.'' character to have been a starter, unlockable and DLC character in three separate games.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|King Dedede (SSBB)}}

King Dedede makes his playable debut in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In the game, he is voiced by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], his original creator and the director of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, who also voiced him in ''[[wikirby:Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards|Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. King Dedede is one of the heaviest characters, making him slower, but similar to [[Kirby]], he has multiple mid-air jumps, and has the fastest falling speed of any character. Dedede's hammer gives his moves range and power, but many of his attacks are slow to execute to compensate.

 

Dedede's standard special move is [[#Inhale|Inhale]], which works similar to Kirby's move, but Dedede cannot copy opponents, and instead is only able to carry them and spit them back out as a projectile. His side special move is [[#Waddle Dee Toss|Waddle Dee Toss]], in which he throws a [[Waddle Dee]] (occasionally a [[Waddle Doo]] or rarely a [[Gordo (Kirby)|Gordo]]) at opponents. His up special move is [[#Super Dedede Jump|Super Dedede Jump]], in which Dedede leaps into the air and slams back toward the ground. His down special move is [[#Jet Hammer|Jet Hammer]], in which Dedede charges a hammer swing powered by a jet engine. Dedede's Final Smash is [[Waddle Dee Army]], which summons Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos and Gordos to attack.

 

Aside from King Dedede's standard and up specials, his dash attack and forward smash originate from the ''Kirby'' games, with the former being his signature trip, while the latter is an attack he commonly uses against Kirby.

{{br|left}}

 

 

In his castle, he puts one of his brooches on all the trophies he collected, giving the one he was keeping for himself to the Princess. However, [[Bowser]] starts attacking them, turning Dedede into a trophy and after a battle, Bowser escapes with the princess trophy (who dropped the badge King Dedede put on her) and Mario, Link, Pit, Yoshi, and Kirby run away leaving the King Dedede, Luigi, and Ness trophies behind. Later, King Dedede's castle is blown up by the [[Subspace Bomb]] and the Luigi, Ness and King Dedede trophies are pulled into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]]. Meanwhile, Kirby finds the other Dedede badge that the princess dropped and [[Inhale]]s it.

 

 

After Kirby arrives with several more fighters, King Dedede directs them to the Great Maze. They explore the maze, defeating previously defeated bosses and battling [[False Character|clones]] of themselves. After defeating all of these, they head in to Tabuu's chamber for the final battle. Tabuu attempts to turn all the fighters back into trophies, but is ambushed by Sonic, weakening him and allowing the fighters to defeat him. Tabuu disappears and the World of Trophies is restored.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Olimar (SSBB)}}

Captain Olimar's playable debut in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as one of the game's default fighters. Olimar is one of the smaller and lighter characters in the game. He fights with the help of up to six [[Pikmin]], which follow him and are required in order to perform most of his attacks. Each type of Pikmin (red, blue, yellow, purple, and white) has its own attributes, which produce different effects for Olimar's attacks.

 

Olimar's standard special is [[#Pikmin Pluck|Pikmin Pluck]], which allows him to pull up more Pikmin (if he has less than six) from the ground. His side special is [[#Pikmin Throw|Pikmin Throw]], in which Olimar tosses one of his Pikmin at his opponents. His down special is [[#Pikmin Order|Pikmin Order]], which allows him to call his Pikmin back to his side and grants him [[smashwiki:Armor#Super armor|super armor]] as a defensive option. His up special is [[#Pikmin Chain|Pikmin Chain]], in which Olimar tosses all of his Pikmin in a chain as a [[smashwiki:tether recovery|tether recovery]]. His [[Final Smash]] is [[#End of Day|End of Day]], in which he takes off while [[pikipedia:Red Bulborb|Bulborb]]s come on the stage and start attacking the players, similarly to the "end of day" sequence from the ''Pikmin'' games. His "home" stage is the [[Distant Planet]].

 

 

 

 

 

The ship takes Olimar and his crew inside [[the Subspace Bomb Factory]]. They eventually find the [[Ancient Minister]], alongside [[Pikachu]] and [[Samus Aran]]. [[Ganondorf]] suddenly appears via hologram and commands the [[R.O.B.]]s in the room to detonate the [[Subspace Bomb]]s inside the factory so he can create a large enough hole in space to fit a [[Subspace Gunship]] through. The Ancient Minister through desperation reveals himself to be the leader of the R.O.B.s and helps the other heroes defeat the Subspace enemies that Ganondorf dispatched. Olimar, with R.O.B. and the rest of the heroes, escapes from the island before it is dragged into [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]]. All of the protagonists then unite to take down the Subspace Gunship and enter Subspace. Olimar and the others are subsequently turned into trophies by [[Tabuu]] however.

*"''What is this? Before my eyes stands a strange life form. It resembles me slightly, so I shall dub it...[[Mario|Marlio]]! ...Further investigation indicates that the drink that this Marlio holds is the source of the aroma. I shall now partake of its flavor. Why! Its flavor is most satisfying! Finding that such a drink could be partook of in such a place is a tremendous discovery, indeed! This Marlio creature exhibits what seems to be a longing expression... Perhaps it will react if I present it with something... I have just noticed a strange, [[Luigi|unsightly green creature]] standing next to the Marlio... It could be a dangerous life form. I feel I should attack it before it attacks me. ''" - Unused quote from ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''  

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Lucario (SSBB)}}

[[File:BrawlLucario.jpg|thumb|left|Lucario's artwork in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']]

Lucario appears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. It can be unlocked by playing 100 Brawl matches, completing every level of Target Smash with one character, or by having it join the party in The Subspace Emissary by clearing [[The Glacial Peak]]. Its voice clips in this game are provided by {{wp|Bill Rogers (voice actor)|Bill Rogers}} in the English release, who voices Lucario for the television series, and {{wp|Daisuke Namikawa}} in Japanese, who provided the voice of the Lucario in the movie ''[[bulbapedia:M08|Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and the ''Pokémon Diamond and Pearl'' seasons of the animated series.

 

Lucario's attacks and abilities mostly revolve around Aura, which increases in power the more damage Lucario takes (though this only applies to attacks that use its Aura). Its standard special move is [[#Aura Sphere|Aura Sphere]], in which Lucario charges and throws a ball of Aura energy. Its side special move is [[#Force Palm|Force Palm]], in which Lucario thrusts its hand forward to attack with a burst of energy. Its down special move is [[#Double Team|Double Team]], in which Lucario counterattacks an opponent that attacks it. Its up special move is [[#Extreme Speed|ExtremeSpeed]], in which Lucario flies in the direction the player inputs. Its [[Final Smash]] is [[#Aura Storm|Aura Storm]], in which Lucario leaps into the air and fires a beam down onto the stage.

{{br|left}}

 

Lucario is first encountered in [[The Subspace Emissary]] at the top of [[The Glacial Peak]], where it is balanced on the peak when [[Meta Knight]] and the [[Ice Climbers]] arrive. Lucario and Meta Knight battle (the player able to control either character), and the loser is turned into a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]]. The winner revives the loser, and the two shake hands, now allies. However, in its battle with the [[Great Fox]], the [[Halberd]] smashes the Great Fox into the mountain, allowing Lucario and Meta Knight to climb aboard the Halberd.

 

 

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Toon Link (SSBB)}}

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Toon Link is a secret playable character. He can be unlocked by either finding a door in The Forest in The Subspace Emissary after beating the mode, playing Classic after clearing The Subspace Emissary, or by playing 400 Brawl matches, then defeating him in battle. His attributes and moveset are mostly similar to [[Young Link]] from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', in that he is lighter than Link, but also faster than him. Toon Link's only unique attacks are his up smash, forward and back throws, and standard, forward, and back aerials.

 

Toon Link's special moves are mostly the same as Link's, though Toon Link's attacks use their ''The Wind Waker'' variants. The only different move is the [[#Boomerang|Boomerang]], which is the same as Link's Boomerang in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Toon Link's grab also uses the [[zeldawiki:Hookshot|Hookshot]] from ''The Wind Waker'', which like Link's Clawshot also has a ledge-homing property, though its range is not as far. They also share a [[Final Smash]], [[#Triforce Slash|Triforce Slash]]. Despite this, some of their other moves are different, and some of their shared moves have different properties, such as Toon Link's [[#Hero's Bow|Hero's Bow]] having an arc to the arrows.

 

{{br|left}}

After beating The Subspace Emissary, in The Forest stage, if the player enters the first red door in the beginning of the level, they will be taken to the [[Pirate Ship (stage)|Pirate Ship]]. There, Toon Link will be looking out to the sea. However, once he sees the player, he's surprised. Thinking the player is an enemy, he attacks the player. The player then fights Toon Link, and if he is beaten, Toon Link is unlocked as a playable character.

{{br|left}}

[[File:Wolf Brawl art.png|thumb|left|upleft=1.1|150px|Wolf's appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.]]

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Wolf (SSBB)}}

Wolf is one of the unlockable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', using his appearance from ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox: Assault|Star Fox: Assault]]'', and is voiced by Jay Ward. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Wolf was nearly cut from the game due to time constraints. He is both the biggest and heaviest of the ''Star Fox'' characters. He is not as fast as Fox and [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]], but his attacks are more powerful. His aerial speed is better than that of Fox's and Falco's. He can be unlocked by having him join the party in The Subspace Emissary, playing 450 Brawl matches, or by clearing Boss Battles with either Fox or Falco, then defeating him on [[Lylat Cruise]].

 

Though his [[List of moves|special moves]] are based on the basic design of Fox's special moves, they have been altered for Wolf, with new effects for all of them. All his standard moves are different as well. Wolf's standard special move is the [[#Blaster|Blaster]], though unlike Fox and Falco's, the gun has a claw-like extension that damages nearby opponents. His side special is [[#Wolf Flash|Wolf Flash]], which gives Wolf some vertical height and has a [[smashwiki:meteor smash|meteor smash]] at the end. His up special is [[#Fire Wolf|Fire Wolf]], in which Wolf instantly charges in the direction held on the control stick, the air surrounding him damaging opponents. His down special is [[#Reflector|Reflector]], which has a different visual effect than the other characters' Reflectors and increases the speed of reflected items and projectiles rather than power. His [[Final Smash]] is the [[#Landmaster|Landmaster]], his version having more firepower and sporting Wolfen coloration.
