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]].

However, almost all of Lucas' normal moves and [[Smash attack (move)|smash attacks]] are completely different. The only exception is his forward smash attack, which operates similarly to Ness' baseball bat, albeit with Lucas wielding a stick instead. In addition, Lucas' grab is the [[wikibound:Rope Snake|Rope Snake]], a weapon used by his party member [[wikibound:Duster|Duster]], which also acts as a [[tether recovery]]. One of Lucas's alternate costumes resembles his brother Claus. Lucas's home stage is [[New Pork City]].
