Super Smash Bros. (series): Difference between revisions

|A somewhat minor first-party series by Nintendo. It was represented by the Balloon Fighter trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', and a sticker in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' (also in this game, the music for Balloon Trip could be played on the [[Summit]] stage). It is represented by a stage titled Balloon Fight in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''.

|''Castlevania'' is a series of games by Konami. In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, it is set to be represented by the playable characters [[Simon Belmont]] and [[Richter Belmont]], making it the first third-party series represented in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series to have multiple playable characters.

|Playable characters from the ''Donkey Kong'' series include [[Donkey Kong]] since ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', [[Diddy Kong]] since ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and [[King K. Rool]] in the upcoming ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.  

|Playable characters from this series include [[Ness]] (since ''Super Smash Bros.'') and [[Lucas]] (since ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''). Lucas was originally intended to replace Ness in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', but because of ''Mother 3'''s delay, Ness was put in instead.

|A series consisting of two games in StreetPass Mii Plaza (which is featured with Nintendo 3DS and its variations), this is represented by a stage, named [[Find Mii (stage)|Find Mii]], in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''.

|''Fire Emblem'' is a second-party series, developed by [[Intelligent Systems]]. Regarding playable characters, [[Marth]] and [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]] have appeared in the series starting with ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' (although the latter is absent in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''), [[Ike]] since ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', [[Lucina]] and [[Robin]] since the launch of ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', [[Corrin]] since his DLC appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', and [[Chrom]] in the upcoming ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

|The first-billed and most heavily represented franchise in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series; characters from the ''Mario'' series have appeared in all four released games. While the series is quite abundant in content from all the sub-series of the ''Mario'' franchise, it has, primarily, a strong focus on the platforming ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games, the kart racing ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games and, to a lesser extent, the ''[[Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's]] [[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon|Mansion]]'' games. There are two ''Mario'' series characters in ''Super Smash Bros.'', five in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', four in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', and seven in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' (fourteen if the seven [[Koopaling]] alternates for [[Bowser Jr.]] are counted). The ''Mario'' characters playable in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series are [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] (both since ''Super Smash Bros.''), [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], [[Dr. Mario]] (starting with ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', although Dr. Mario is not playable in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''), [[Rosalina]] & [[Luma (species)|Luma]], Bowser Jr. with seven model swaps that replace him with one of the Koopalings (since ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''), and [[Princess Daisy]] (in the upcoming ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''). Although the ''Mario'' series also includes such characters as [[Yoshi]], [[Donkey Kong]], and [[Wario]], they are excluded from the list, due to having their own series and logos.

|Another of Nintendo's notable series. The ''Metroid'' games are represented by playable characters in the forms of [[Samus Aran]] (since ''Super Smash Bros.''), [[Zero Suit Samus]] (since ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''; she is considered a separate character from Samus since ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''), [[Ridley]], and [[Dark Samus]] (both in the upcoming ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'').

|A more recently-created series by Nintendo, ''Splatoon'' is represented by a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] and Mii Fighter customization items in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', and by [[Inkling]] as a playable fighter in the upcoming ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
