→‎Characters: Nvm I mistook Takamaru/Mach Rider for SSB64, but I still don't think they be added because it's hard to tell to what extent they were considered from those statements in the source

-[[Lucas]] (mentioned as the protagonist of ''Mother 3'') was originally meant to replace [[Ness]], but as ''Mother 3'' was facing development difficulties and ultimately canceled, Ness was used instead.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0717/index.html Ness] at ''[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/index.html Sokuhou Smabura Ken!!]'', the Japanese website for ''Super Smash Bros.

-According to ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series producer Yuji Naka, [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] was requested to be in the game, but the idea fell through due to time constraints.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120207220055/http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4451/sonicinmeleeis4.jpg]</ref> Sonic was later included as a playable character in the series starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', while Tails would appear as a background character on the [[Green Hill Zone]] stage and as a [[List of Mii Fighter Outfits|Mii costume]]. Similarly, [[Solid Snake]] was requested by ''Metal Gear Solid'' series creator Hideo Kojima, but was rejected as development was too far in.<ref>[http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=2576 [E3<nowiki>]</nowiki> Interview: Super Smash Bros.

 When choosing a "retro" character from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]/Famicom era to add, Sakurai mentioned on the Japanese ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' website that he also considered [[Bubbles (Clu Clu Land)|Bubbles]] from ''{{wp|Clu Clu Land}}'', the Balloon Fighter from ''{{wp|Balloon Fight}}'', "{{wp|Urban Champion}}", and "''[[Excitebike (character)|Excitebike]]''" in addition to the [[Ice Climbers]].<ref name="Source">Soma (April 29, 2016).

 In a meeting between Sakurai and Nintendo of America, it was suggested that [[Marth]] and [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]] would be removed from the international version, meaning both characters would be only playable in the Japanese version, though Nintendo of America decided to keep them in the game.<ref>Soma (December 13, 2015).

-[[Wario]] was another character considered to appear as a playable character, but ultimately was not added, in part due to time constraints and because Sakurai felt the game would have had too many ''Mario'' characters. He also stated that he would have had to cut [[Mewtwo]] or Marth and Roy for Wario to be included.<ref name="Source 2">sutamen (January 31, 2016).
