| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
| |
| Takamaru's first appearance in decades, besides rereleases of ''The Mysterious Murasame Castle'', is in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' where he appears as a collectible [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]]. In Subspace Emissary, equipping Takamaru's sticker to a character gives them +11 to their attack stat.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
| |
| Takamru appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. He was first announced in a Miiverse post by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]<ref>[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAABnUYoAI9LMgQ Sakurai's pic of the day 2014/7/28]. Retrieved October 22, 2014.</ref>{{dead link}}. Like in his original game, he attacks by quickly slashing with his katana and by throwing shurikens in the four cardinal directions. He constantly moves around while attacking and jumps back to the stage's edge if he starts to fall to a pit. If enough damage is dealt to him, he becomes staggered before disappearing; otherwise, he simply goes away after a period of time.
| |
| | |
| Early in development Takamaru was considered to be a playable character, but was rejected due to lacking familiarity.<ref>[http://www.gonintendo.com/s/249633-sakurai-discusses-the-various-miiverse-requests-for-smash-bros-characters-almost-made-takamaru-playable Sakurai discusses the various Miiverse requests for Smash Bros. characters, almost made Takamaru playable]. GoNintendo (March 22, 2015). Retrieved March 23, 2015.</ref>
| |
| | |
| In the sixth DLC Pack for the game, a [[Mii]] [[List of Mii Outfits|outfit]] with matching [[List of Mii Headgear|headgear]] based on Takamaru was released.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
| |
| Takamaru returns as an Assist Trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', acting as he did in the previous game. He also appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]].
| |
| | |
| ===''Captain Rainbow''===
| |
| In ''[[Captain Rainbow]]'', Takamaru is one of the inhabitants of Minmin Island. His first encounter with the protagonist, Nick, involves him calmly meditating before slicing a falling leaf into pieces. Afterwards, Takamaru teaches Nick how to meditate. He later asks Nick to visit Tracey for some medicine for an injured Minmin, though she then gives Nick a letter that asks Takamaru to directly come to her. After he reads it, he reveals that he gets anxious around women, and is later seen practicing hugging a dummy, as if it was Tracey. Giving him one of Tracey's bras leads to him attaching it to the dummy and becoming more confident, and he then makes his way to Tracey's mansion.
| |
| | |
| Once there, he suddenly gets nervous again, but Nick pushes him up the stairs to confront Tracey. He walks up to Tracey and asks for his medicine, but Tracey tells him to kiss her shoe. He bends down to do so, but Tracey stops him and tells him that she wanted to see if he would swallow his pride. Telling him that she respects him, Takamaru gains the medicine he needs and leaves. He is later seen at a womanly statue (where he meditated previously), and destroys it, showing that he's overcome his uncertainty with women. He thanks Nick for his help, creating a friendship bond with him.
| |
| | |
| ===''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''===
| |
| One of ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]''{{'}}s Japan-exclusive [[microgame]]s, [[Murasamejō]], involves Takamaru being attacked by ninjas that throw shuriken at him. At the right time, the player has to tap him to make him invisible, letting him dodge the projectile. If Takamaru gets hit, he gets knocked out, losing the microgame.
| |
| | |
| ===''Nintendo Land''===
| |
| Though Takamaru does not make a physical appearance, the ''[[Nintendo Land]]'' minigame Takamaru's Ninja Castle is based on ''The Mysterious Murasame Castle'', and the gameplay (which involves throwing shuriken) is based on Takamaru's ability to do the same in his game.
