'''Simon Belmont''' is a protagonist from Konami's ''{{wp|Castlevania}}'' video game series, debuting in its very first entry. He crosses over with characters from the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] in episodes of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' and again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. His descendant, [[Richter Belmont]], also appears in the latter as his Echo Fighter.

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

Richter makes his ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' debut in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a third-party character. He appears alongside fellow Konami characters [[Solid Snake]] and Simon Belmont, Sega's [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[Bayonetta]], and [[Joker]], Capcom's [[Mega Man]], [[Ryu]], and [[Ken Masters]], Bandai Namco's [[Pac-Man]], Square Enix's [[Cloud Strife]] and [[Hero]], Microsoft's [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]], and SNK's [[Terry Bogard]]. He and Simon were confirmed to be in the game via a Nintendo Direct that took place on August 8th, 2018. Richter is voiced in English by {{wp|David Vincent (actor)|David Vincent}}, reprising his role from previous ''Castlevania'' titles, including ''{{wp|Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin|Portrait of Ruin}}'', ''{{wp|Castlevania: Harmony of Despair|Harmony of Despair}}'', and ''The Dracula X Chronicles''<ref>[https://twitter.com/davidvincentva/status/1027644213851246592 Tweet by David Vincent]</ref>; and in Japanese by {{wp|Kiyoyuki Yanada}}, his voice actor in ''{{wp|Castlevania: Symphony of the Night|Symphony of the Night}}''.

Incineroar is a super heavyweight fighter (being heavier than [[Kazuya Mishima|Kazuya]] but lighter than [[Ganondorf]], while having the same weight as [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s [[Charizard]]) with highly powerful attacks, yet very sluggish mobility to boot. In fact, Incineroar is notorious for having the slowest walking and dashing speeds in the game. Like [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], Charizard, and [[Inkling]], Incineroar receives minor damage while swimming, seemingly as a reference to its weakness to Water-type Pokémon in the ''Pokémon'' series. Fittingly, the overwhelming majority of Incineroar's attacks consist of professional wrestling moves, extending to its special moves.

|JapM=From「ガオー」(''gaō'', onomatopoeia for roaring) and the voiced version of「火炎」(''kaen'', flame)

|FreM=From ''félin'' (feline) and ''inferno''

|GerM=From ''fuego'' ("fire" in Spanish) and ''growl''

|ChiM=Literally "Blazing-Flame Roaring Tiger"; From ''chì/chi'' (blazing, splendid), ''yàn/yìhm'' (flame), ''páoxiāo/pàauhhāau'' (roar), and ''hǔ/fú'' (tiger)

'''Joker''' (whose real name is given as '''Ren Amamiya''' in the games and anime and as '''Akira Kurusu''' in the manga) is the protagonist of ''{{wp|Persona 5}}'', a {{wp|PlayStation 3}} and {{wp|PlayStation 4}} title from the ''{{wp|Megami Tensei}}'' franchise's spin-off ''{{wp|Persona (series)|Persona}}'' series. In his game of origin, he is a Japanese high school student in his day life; however, he also has the power to access an alternate version of the world called the Metaverse. In said universe, Joker leads the Phantom Thieves, a group of teenagers who alter the psyche of corrupted souls to steal their hearts. Joker and his companions have the ability to summon Personas, which are manifestations of their respective psyches that possess special powers and are based on mythological figures. Joker's only appearance to date alongside ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise characters has been in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where he was made available in Challenger Pack 1 as the first Fighters Pass DLC fighter.

After [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U#Bayonetta|Bayonetta]], Joker is the third guest fighter to represent [[Sega]], as {{wp|Atlus}}, the developer of the ''Persona'' series, was acquired by {{wp|Sega Sammy Holdings}} in 2013.

The '''Hero''' is a title assigned to various main playable characters in the [[dragonquest:Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] series. Their background, appearance, skills, and roles of the heroes vary between the games as they are all unique characters from one another.  

Four of these heroes appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a singular downloadable character.<ref name=HeroSakurai>Nintendo (July 30, 2019). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciLEX04BVFM Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents “Hero”]". ''YouTube''. Retrieved July 30, 2019.</ref> Players can cycle between them through alternate skins, with the default choice being the Hero from ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age|Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age]]''.

In the Hero's reveal trailer for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', [[Masahiro Sakurai]] assigned each one a different nickname to differentiate between them. Their names are as follows:

Luminary SSBU.png|'''[[dragonquest:Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Eleven]]'''<br>(default)

Erdrick SSBU.png|'''[[dragonquest:Hero (Dragon Quest III)|Arusu]]'''

*Eleven is from ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age|Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age]]''. Though he is officially known as the '''Luminary''' in his origin game, his nickname of "Eleven" stems from the fact his game is the eleventh in the series.

*Arusu is from ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation|Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation]]''. Within the ''Dragon Quest'' fan base, he is commonly referred to as '''Erdrick'''.

Despite this, their nicknames are not used in-game at all; all menu screens and the announcer refer to all four incarnations of the character as "Hero". Their [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|Spirit]] also refers to them as Hero, with their origin game in parenthesis.

'''Steve''' is the name given to the default main player character and protagonist in ''[[Minecraft]]''; the female default skin playable character is '''Alex'''. Steve has dark brown hair, a light blue shirt, blue pants, grey shoes, and a dark, brownish pigmentation. Alex has long, red hair, a light green shirt, brown pants, grey boots, and a much lighter skin tone. Enemies in the game include a '''Zombie''' (a green-skinned version of Steve with no hair), and an '''Enderman''' (an entirely black humanoid-like figure with small, purple eyes, and skinny, tall legs).  

The game, ''Minecraft'', and its characters were created by independent video game developer company, {{Wikia|Minecraft|Mojang Studios|Mojang Studios}}, which was wholly purchased by {{wp|Xbox Game Studios}} in 2014. Steve, Alex, a Zombie, and an Enderman were all confirmed to be a playable character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as downloadable content.

Steve's moveset is heavily based off of ''Minecraft'' in general (and especially that game's Survival Mode). Many of Steve's standard attacks use a sword, axe or pickaxe from the game; neutral attack and side tilt attack are quick sword swings, up tilt attack is a quick upward axe swing, dash attack is a running pickaxe swing, side smash attack is a slower but stronger sword swing, neutral air attack is a quick sword swing, forward air attack is a pickaxe swing that can [[meteor smash]], back air attack is a backward-facing pickaxe swing, and up air attack is a quick upward axe swing. Steve also has other standard attacks that do not use those tools; down tilt attack uses flint and steel to create a flame in front, up smash attack places a magma block above then breaks it, down smash attack uses a lava bucket to pour lava on both sides, down air attack places an anvil directly underneath which falls downward, and grab uses a fishing rod to grab an opponent. Steve's grab attack involves punching the grabbed opponent, forward throw places a piston which launches the opponent forward, backward throw tosses the opponent backward with a fishing rod, upward throw uses a piston to launch the opponent upward, and downward throw drops an anvil on the opponent. Steve's neutral special move is Mine / Craft / Create Block, which functions differently depending on Steve's position: when grounded, Steve uses a tool to mine for resources; when near a crafting table, Steve uses resources to craft tools; and in the air, Steve places a block directly underneath. Steve's side special move is Minecart, which has Steve summon a minecart and ride it; Steve can jump out of the minecart, and it can grab opponents after Steve has exited it. Steve's up special move is Elytra, which uses elytra wings to glide horizontally or vertically, with Steve briefly using firework rockets as well. Finally, Steve's down special move is TNT, with Steve placing a TNT block in front; after the TNT block has been placed, Steve can place a trail of redstone dust followed by a wooden pressure plate to create a redstone circuit which can detonate the TNT block itself.

Steve's [[Final Smash]] is called House of Boom, and it uses a large {{plain link|[https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Piston Piston]}} that pushes the fighter into a dark room if made contact, locking them inside with {{plain link|[https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Creeper Creepers]}}, {{plain link|[https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Zombie Zombies]}}, and {{plain link|[https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/TNT TNT]}}. After the room explodes, Steve eats a {{plain link|[https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Steak steak]}} upon successfully finishing his Final Smash.

Some of Steve's attacks use tools from the game, such as a sword, an axe, a shovel and a pickaxe. Said items can break over time from being used. A {{plain link|[https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Crafting_Table Crafting Table]}} will spawn in the background near Steve at the beginning of a match. Using his neutral special move, Steve can mine the ground for various resources. There is a limit to how many resources Steve can carry, so if he exceeds this limit, he will begin to ditch previous resources to make room for new ones. A gauge is present near the player's icon and damage at the bottom of the screen which shows Steve's current resource. The resources that Steve mines with his neutral special move will vary depending on the material of the stage that Steve is playing on. Steve can then walk over and use the Crafting Table and his mined materials to craft a full set of tools in addition to replenishing broken/damaged ones; when Steve crafts using the table, all of his tools get upgraded at the same time. The various types of tools in order of strength are wood, stone, iron, gold and diamond; gold is weaker and less durable than stone, iron and diamond, but attacks with golden tools are faster overall. The Crafting Table can be broken by any player's attacks (including Steve's own), but it will respawn after a few seconds. Steve can also summon his table near him at any time by pressing the special move button while shielding. If there are two or more Steves in a battle, they can all use one another's Crafting Tables.

Steve is the default skin in all versions of ''Minecraft'', with Alex being the other default playable skin available from the start. Before being named Steve, the model for the human player was added to the first public release of Minecraft on May 13, 2009. The character of Steve originally came to be referred unofficially to as "Steve?" by the game's creator,<ref>Markus "Notch" Persson (November 22, 2010). [https://twitter.com/notch/status/6825860292157440 ''Twitter'']. Retrieved October 1, 2020.</ref> but it was not until the game's official release out of beta in 2011 that the name "Steve" was made official (dropping the question mark). The model for Steve in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' uses a version of his face with a beard that {{plain link|[https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Java_Edition_Classic_0.24_SURVIVAL_TEST#Mobs_2 was removed]}} from ''Minecraft'' since {{plain link|[https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Java_Edition_Classic_0.24_SURVIVAL_TEST Java Edition Classic 0.24]}} released on September 1, 2009. Despite having been changed in-game for over a decade by the time of the DLC's release, this bearded version of Steve is still used in promotional artwork for ''Minecraft'', including its game cover. The beard on Steve's face is often confused for a smile.  Zombies were added on September 1, 2009 to Java Edition Classic 0.24, Endermen were added on September 14, 2011 to Beta Update 1.8, and Alex was added on September 2, 2014 to Java Update 1.8.

The [[Minecraft|Super Mario Mash-up]], available on [[Wii U]], [[Nintendo Switch]], and [[Nintendo 3DS#New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL|New Nintendo 3DS]], adds forty different [[Minecraft#Skins|''Mario''-themed skins]] to replace Steve. [[Hammer Bro]]s. replace the Zombies in the pack, while Endermen are replaced by [[Stilt Guy]]s.

'''Pyra''' is one of the main characters from ''[[xenoseries:Xenoblade Chronicles 2|Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]''. She is a Blade, a personification of a weapon (in her case, the legendary Aegis sword) that can be wielded by the game's main protagonist, Rex. She was created by [[Mythra]] out of shame as an alternate personality and an idealized version of herself. The kind, gentle Pyra uses a variety of flame-based powers in combat, whereas her arrogant, headstrong "sister" Mythra uses light-based powers. Both Pyra and Mythra were released as a singular 2-in-1 downloadable fighter for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', marking their sole appearance alongside ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise characters.

'''Mythra''' is one of the main characters from ''[[xenoseries:Xenoblade Chronicles 2|Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]'' and its prequel, ''{{wp|Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna – The Golden Country|Torna – The Golden Country}}''. She is a Blade, a personification of a weapon (in her case, the legendary Aegis Sword) that can be wielded by protagonists Rex and Addam respectively. She is the Aegis' original form, having created her other self [[Pyra]] out of shame over mass destruction that she caused after losing control of her powers. The arrogant, headstrong Mythra uses a variety of light-based powers in combat, whereas her kinder, gentler "sister" Pyra uses flame-based powers. Both Mythra and Pyra were released as a singular 2-in-1 downloadable fighter for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', marking their sole appearance alongside ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise characters.

When compared to Pyra, Mythra is a much faster fighter overall, walking faster than [[Little Mac]], and being a faster runner than [[Fox McCloud|Fox]]. However, Mythra's higher overall mobility comes at the cost of being less powerful on offense, as most of her attacks lack the knockback strength to KO fighters at realistic damage percentages. Mythra is also lighter than Pyra; she shares her weight with the [[Ice Climbers]], [[Lucario]], [[Wolf O'Donnell|Wolf]], [[Villager]], and [[#Steve|Steve]], meaning that she is lighter than [[#Joker|Joker]] but heavier than [[Toon Link]] and [[Palutena]].

'''Sora''' is the protagonist of the crossover video game series ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' by {{wp|The Walt Disney Company|Disney}} and [[Square Enix]]. The series pits him fighting alongside and against various Disney and ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'' characters, including [[Cloud Strife]] and [[Sephiroth]], with {{wp|Donald Duck}} and {{wp|Goofy}} being among his main allies. Sora wields a [[khwiki:Keyblade|Keyblade]] as his weapon of choice. His sole crossover with the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] is in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as the game's final downloadable fighter.

Sora is a lightweight character, being lighter than [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] and [[Duck Hunt (character)|Duck Hunt]] but heavier than [[Falco Lombardi|Falco]] and [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]], while having the same weight as [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]. He possesses a unique midair jump, ascending a further distance in a curved trajectory in a similar manner to [[Ness]] or [[Mewtwo]]. If Sora wins a stamina battle, the screen will zoom in and slowly fade to white, a reference to the victory animation that occurs when defeating a boss in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series.
