'''Nintendog''' is the name of any puppy character from [[Nintendo]]'s ''[[wikipedia:Nintendogs|Nintendogs]]'' game series. Nintendogs are named after their debut game, which in turn is a portmanteau of "Nintendo" and "dog". Nintendogs have appeared in a few games related to the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]].

A white {{wp|Labrador Retriever}} Nintendog became an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. When it is activated, it will distract the players by covering most of the screen and start clawing and barking, although it only works on actual players. Occasionally, pausing the game while the Nintendog is on the screen instantly causes it to leave. Nintendogs also appear as [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]]s and a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]].

According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Nintendogs were briefly considered to be a playable character in ''Brawl'', but were ultimately dropped as Sakurai did not consider such a character to be suited for battle and would work better as an Assist Trophy instead.<ref>http://sourcegaming.info/2016/04/29/duflupdate/</ref>

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', a Nintendog, specifically a {{wp|Shiba Inu|Shibaken}} wearing a fedora, is a recurring character.<ref>''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'', [https://sta.sh/2ee61rlfwxv pg 235]</ref> Its model is taken directly from ''Nintendogs''. [[Mario]] can play fetch with the dog by throwing [[Cappy]], whom the Nintendog will then retrieve. It shows up in various kingdoms after the kingdom's boss has been defeated. The Nintendog appears in the [[Sand Kingdom]], [[Seaside Kingdom]], [[Metro Kingdom]], [[Moon Kingdom]] (wearing a space helmet), and [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], where it leads players to buried [[coin]]s and [[Power Moon]]s. Furthermore, in the other kingdoms left, the Nintendog appears inside the [[Odyssey]] after finishing the game at least once. A Toad in the Mushroom Kingdom claims to be the Nintendog's owner. Also, if Mario falls asleep, the Nintendog will fall asleep next to him. The Nintendog is also seen in attendance at the wedding of [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach|Peach]]. The Nintendog's fedora cannot be removed, possibly to prevent Mario from potentially [[Capture|capturing]] it. It also occasionally barks at enemies.

==Trivia==
*There are many ''Mario'' references in the ''Nintendogs'' series. The player can find hats that are the same as Mario's and Luigi's, as well as various toys. These include [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], and [[Bowser]] karts in the first game (designed with their ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' kart style), which can be driven around the room while they play music from courses in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', as well as [[Mushroom]] and [[? Block]] toys to throw around. In the second game, the Mario and Peach karts return, while the Bowser kart is replaced by a [[Yoshi]] kart.
