Meta Knight
- “Victory is my destiny.”
- —Meta Knight, Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Meta Knight is a recurring anti-hero character in the Kirby series, making his debut in Kirby's Adventure. He always wears his metal mask in his series, and usually appears as a rival or a boss Kirby must fight, but on occasions has had to team up with him. He is one of the captains of the Halberd ship. In certain games, after Meta Knight is defeated, his mask splits into two, revealing a face near identical to Kirby's; the main difference being his blue skin tone. He has made crossover appearances with the Super Mario franchise, mostly in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Although he does not appear as a playable character, Meta Knight has a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee, which can be randomly obtained. The trophy's title says Meta-Knight, referring to the group rather than the individual. The trophy also has a factual error: While his first appearance is listed as Kirby Super Star in September of 1996, his actual first appearance was in Kirby's Adventure in May of 1993.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Meta Knight returns as a playable character for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. He, along with other winged characters Pit and Charizard, can no longer glide, either normally or at the end of Shuttle Loop, though Shuttle Loop now hits twice instead. Aside from this, however, Meta Knight's moveset has not been changed. His design has been slightly altered for this installment, giving him metal gauntlets over his gloves. Meta Knight's mobility is improved, but his overall damage output is toned down, his recovery is worsened, his attacks are slower, and their range is decreased.
One of Kirby's alternative palettes is identical to what Meta Knight looks like without his mask (though the palette has yellow eyes), armor and cape in the early Kirby games. In addition, two of Meta Knight's new alternate costumes are based on Dark Meta Knight and Galacta Knight.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Super Mario Maker
Meta Knight appears in his Kirby's Adventure appearance in Super Mario Maker as a Mystery Mushroom costume. It can be unlocked randomly after completing the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty or higher, or unlocked by scanning any Meta Knight amiibo.

Pit
Pit, also known as Kid Icarus on occasion, is a young angel who is the main protagonist of the Kid Icarus series, and the captain of Palutena's army. His most notable appearance alongside Super Mario franchise characters, however, is in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Tetris
The results screen for the NES version of Tetris features Pit as part of a band composed of himself, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus Aran, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Bowser. He is playing the harp. Pit in particular appears when the player has completed height 0 of Game B's ninth level.
Captain N: The Game Master
Pit, referred to as Kid Icarus, appeared as a recurring character in the American television series, Captain N: The Game Master.
"Super Mario: Die Bescherung"
Pit makes a minor appearance in the Club Nintendo comic Super Mario: Die Bescherung. In this comic strip, Pit is one of the invited guests that Mario had invited over for a Christmas party that he is hosting. Within the comic, Pit is seen alongside various characters including Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Toad, Yoshi, Link, and Mega Man. His appearance resembles his artwork from Of Myths and Monsters.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Pit, using his design from the original NES game, makes an appearance as an unlockable trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
_-_Super_Smash_Bros._for_Nintendo_3DS_and_Wii_U.png)
Template:Main-external Pit returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. While Minami Takayama reprised her role in the Japanese version, Pit is now voiced in English by Anthony Del Rio, his voice actor from Kid Icarus: Uprising, which was also developed by Masahiro Sakurai. While part of his moveset is the same as in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, such as Palutena's Arrow (now named Palutena Bow, as the weapon is known in Kid Icarus: Uprising), all of his other special moves as well as his Final Smash have been replaced, mostly to reflect his appearance in Kid Icarus: Uprising. While Pit still has multiple jumps, the gliding mechanic has been removed entirely.
His side special has been changed to the Upperdash Arm, in which Pit dashes forward to uppercut opponents, and his down special is the Guardian Orbitars, which puts up a pair of shields to defend Pit on both sides. His up special is the Power of Flight, which gives Pit a brief burst of height. His Final Smash has been changed to the Three Sacred Treasures, in which he dons the treasures and attacks with light arrows.
In addition, by quickly using Pit's down taunt on the Palutena's Temple stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, it triggers his smash taunt, Palutena's Guidance, in which Pit, Palutena, and Viridi appear and talk about one of the opponents, similar to Snake's codecs in the previous game.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
WarioWare series
WarioWare: Twisted!
Pit appears as part of the Kid Icarus microgame in WarioWare: Twisted!, based upon the NES game. The objective is to tilt the Game Boy Advance so that Pit can avoid the attacks from the Eggplant Wizards.
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Pit makes an appearance as one of the 8-bit characters performing in the Opening Night microgame, during stages two and three.
WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase
Pit appears in the Kid Icarus microgame in international versions of WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, in which players must break the pots and collect the items in a room in order to win.
WarioWare Gold
Pit appears in another microgame also titled Kid Icarus, where he must shoot Medusa's eye three times.
Super Mario Maker
By tapping the Pit amiibo to the Wii U GamePad in Super Mario Maker, the player will unlock a Mystery Mushroom that gives Mario a costume based on Pit to use in the Super Mario Bros. graphical style. Rather than use his original Kid Icarus sprite, the sprite for this game is a new one based on his design in Kid Icarus: Uprising. When in use, the costume also replaces some sound effects with sound effects from the Famicom Disk System version of Kid Icarus.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Pit makes a cameo in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, early in the film when Mario is in Brooklyn playing Kid Icarus on his NES. The Kid Icarus cartridge, featuring Pit, also appears in the credits.

Trivia
- In the Japanese version of the games, Pit occasionally says "Yarare-chatta..." when he is KO'd; a reference to the Game Over text in the NES Kid Icarus. In the international versions of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, however, this is translated directly to "I'm done for...", making it break the reference. This is changed to "I'm finished!" in the subsequent games; as how the aforementioned Game Over screen is translated in the international release of Kid Icarus.
- Similarly, Pit's Star KO line in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, "I never learned how to read!", is a reference to a line of dialogue he uses in Kid Icarus: Uprising. This is not present in the Japanese version, which simply uses his Star KO scream in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.
Zero Suit Samus
- This section is about Samus without her Power Suit. For Samus in her Power Suit, see List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. § Samus.
- “Is that all?”
- —Zero Suit Samus, Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Zero Suit Samus is an alternate form of Samus Aran without her Power Suit. In this form, Samus's main weapon is the Paralyzer, a small pistol-like weapon that is only capable of stunning enemies. Although Samus has appeared without her armor in previous Metroid games in a small capacity, the first appearance of Samus in her recurring "Zero Suit" was in Metroid: Zero Mission, which consolidated Samus's appearance and abilities outside the Power Suit. While Zero Suit Samus appears in that game as a very vulnerable and more stealth-based form, the Super Smash Bros. series enhances her abilities by giving her an extensive, speedy hand-to-hand moveset similar to Sheik, with a strong focus on aerial combat, as well as additional weaponry in the form of a "Plasma Whip" mode for her Paralyzer and, in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, rocket-powered "Jet Boots" that resemble high-heeled stilettos.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Template:Main-external Zero Suit Samus reappears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as an independent character, after the removal of in-battle transformation moves. Her overall appearance has been somewhat altered, still using her general design from Metroid: Zero Mission while also taking elements from her appearance in Metroid: Other M. As a result of being a separate character, she has a different Final Smash, Gunship. For her general moveset, she adopts different footwear, her boots now featuring a pair of jet boosters on the heels, which enables her kicking moves to be more powerful and have an electricity effect. These Jet Boots have also replaced her up special move, Plasma Wire, with Boost Kick, which uses the jet heels to boost herself into the air while kicking.
Zero Suit Samus receives significant improvements: her mobility and combo ability have been improved and her tilt attacks and forward smash deal more damage. However, her overall damage output is lowered, many of her attacks have smaller hitboxes, some of her moves have increased lag, and she no longer has access to her Power Suit pieces.
Zero Suit Samus also has two additional alternate costumes, based upon her appearances during the endings for Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
WarioWare series
Zero Suit Samus only appears in the Metroid Big Name Game in WarioWare: D.I.Y. There is a small chance that Samus appears in her Zero Suit after the player defeats the Metroids on-screen, rather than her in her Power Suit.
Samus can also appear without her armor at random in the Metroid microgame in the earlier WarioWare: Touched!, though she uses her sprite from the original Metroid rather wearing than the Zero Suit.
Super Mario Maker
Zero Suit Samus appears as a Costume Mario costume in Super Mario Maker. Her sound effects are taken from Metroid: Zero Mission; the theme that plays when the game is loaded plays when the Mystery Mushroom is collected, the theme that plays when an item is obtained plays when the level is completed, and the death sound is played when the player loses a life with the costume on.

Snake
Template:Quote2 Solid Snake (whose real name is David) is the main character of Konami's Metal Gear series of games. He is one of the results of the "Les Enfants Terribles" project, a government project to create clones of the renowned soldier "Big Boss", and is constantly given the mission of deprogramming the various versions of the bipedal nuclear-armed tank called Metal Gear. Solid Snake has appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series, debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and returning in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. According to Masahiro Sakurai, Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima originally asked him to include Solid Snake in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but as the game was too far into development at that point, he could not be included and was instead added into the next game.[1] Like in the Metal Gear series at the time of release, Snake is voiced by Akio Ohtsuka in the Japanese version, and by David Hayter in the English version.
Snake fights using a combination of explosives and hand-to-hand combat. Snake's special moves are Hand Grenade, an explosive that can be thrown various distances, Remote Controlled Missile, a guided missile that rockets wherever it is aimed, Cypher, a flying security drone that flies Snake up, and C4, a sticky explosive that can be mounted on various surfaces.
Additionally, Snake has access to a unique series of taunts, which spawns in a cardboard box that Snake retreats into. When Snake exits the box at the end of the taunt, it can hit an opponent for a small amount of damage (1%~2%.) The cardboard box is an iconic trademark of the Metal Gear series, appearing in most games as a way to sneak by enemies.

In the Chinese version of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Snake's name is untransliterated and written in English. This also applies to Mr. Game & Watch, Simon and Richter Belmont, Cloud, Bayonetta, Inkling, and Joker for both the Simplified and Traditional Chinese versions, as well as Ryu and Ken in the Traditional Chinese and Korean versions.
Trivia
- In the codec call about Yoshi, Snake suggests capturing him to "see what he tastes like", which is Naked Snake's typical response to animal life in Metal Gear Solid 3.
- Ironically, Yoshi would later make a cameo in the Nintendo 3DS game Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D as a replacement for the Kerotans, and a radio call about Yoshi was added to said game.
- A Yoshi doll and a Mario doll also make cameo appearances in The Twin Snakes, predating Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Shooting the Yoshi doll will have Yoshi use its cry pre-Yoshi's Story and shooting the Mario doll will have the 1-UP sound effect play and restore Snake's health slightly.
- Ironically, Yoshi would later make a cameo in the Nintendo 3DS game Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D as a replacement for the Kerotans, and a radio call about Yoshi was added to said game.
- In the codec call about Peach, Snake, after criticizing Peach for constantly letting herself get kidnapped instead of actually doing something to prevent it, is accused by Mei Ling of not getting many dates, alluding to how he constantly has trouble maintaining a constant relationship with various women, notably stiffing Holly White in the ending to Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and his leaving Meryl Silverburgh sometime between Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
- In the codec call about Donkey Kong, Snake refers to him as being a "chip off the old block" upon learning about how he is the most recent Donkey Kong after inheriting the title from Cranky Kong and continuing the tradition of being a rival to Mario, alluding to how Snake himself inherited his title from his "father", Big Boss/Naked Snake, who himself had inherited the title of "Boss" from his mentor and mother figure, The Boss.
- When Snake talks about Sonic the Hedgehog over his codec, he mentions that he dislikes Sonic, giving no specific reason as to why. This may be a reference to hedgehogs being common snake predators in real life, as their spikes prevent the snake from being able to eat it. It may also be a joke in reference to Snake's Japanese voice actor, Akio Ōtsuka, being the son of Dr. Eggman's Japanese voice actor, Chikao Ōtsuka.
- Solid Snake is one of only three characters in the Super Smash Bros. series to come from an M-rated series, with the others being Bayonetta and Joker.
- Snake, or more specifically, his frequent usage of the cardboard box, is referenced in Paper Mario: Color Splash when, in Fort Cobalt, a Toad is hiding in a box, saying he is being "stealthy."
- Although he is identified as Solid Snake, his actual appearance is technically a mixture between Solid Snake himself and his "father", Big Boss, or more accurately his Naked Snake self from Snake Eater.
Ike
- This section is about the character from Fire Emblem. For other uses, see Ike.
Ike is the protagonist in two games of the Fire Emblem series, debuting in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, the series' ninth installment. In his home series, Ike is the leader of the Greil Mercenaries, who are drawn into two wars spanning the continent of Tellius. With the help of his companions, Ike acquires the sacred sword Ragnell and brings peace to Tellius, ending hostilities between its inhabitant beorc and laguz races in the process.
He appears as a playable fighter in the Nintendo-crossover fighting game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and returned for its successors, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Ike is the third Fire Emblem character to appear in the Super Smash Bros. series, after Marth and Roy. Ike is a very powerful fighter - one of the strongest, but as a downside, he is quite heavy and slow.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Template:Main-external Ike returns as a veteran fighter in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. His design has been changed to be his appearance as a Hero in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. While Ike's moveset is no different from the previous game, most of his attacks that use fire use blue flames rather than the red seen in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, referencing his blessing by the goddess Yune at the end of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, during which his sword is cloaked in blue fire. Ike receives faster movement and attack speed, in exchange for his overall damage output being slightly toned down.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Super Mario Maker
Ike appears as a Mystery Mushroom costume in Super Mario Maker, using the same sound effects from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light as the other Fire Emblem character costumes.

- If Ike grabs someone while he is a giant and does a pummel, the grabbed opponent instantly breaks free from the grab, regardless of their damage. This also happens if Ike grabs someone while tiny.

Pokémon Trainer
- This section is about the character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses of "Trainer", see Trainer.

- —Pokémon Trainer, Super Smash Bros. Brawl
A Pokémon Trainer is a human that catches, trains, cares for, and battles alongside Pokémon. The player character in the Pokémon series is fittingly a Pokémon Trainer, as are most humans in the series.
Red, the player character of the Pokémon series' first generation and male player character of Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version, makes a playable appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a default fighter and (alongside his female counterpart Leaf) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as an unlockable fighter. However, Red and Leaf are referred to simply as "Pokémon Trainer", and differ from other fighters by issuing commands to three Pokémon (Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard) to fight on their behalf.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, transforming during battle is omitted, so Charizard was made into a separate character, while the Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, and Ivysaur are no longer playable. They appear as collectable trophies, however.

The concept of switching between Pokémon is omitted from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, causing Charizard to return as a standalone fighter, while Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, and Ivysaur are not playable. Ivysaur does, however, appear as a trophy alongside Squirtle and Pokémon Trainer.

Charizard
- This section is about the fire Pokémon featured in the Super Smash Bros. series, who is known as Lizardon in Japan. For the boss from Wario's Woods, see Lizardon.
Template:Quote2 Charizard is a Fire/Flying-type Pokémon resembling a winged European dragon. In the Pokémon series, it evolves from Charmeleon, which evolves from Charmander, and is one of the three fully-evolved starter Pokémon of the Kanto region. In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, Charizard gained the ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y, the former of which appears as its Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Charizard appears in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee as a Poké Ball Pokémon, and in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character. When playable, its fighting style is similar to Bowser's, as a slow, powerful, heavy reptile with some fast movement options and the ability to breathe fire.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros.
Charizard appears in Super Smash Bros. as a Poké Ball Pokémon. When summoned, it turns from side to side, using Flamethrower to attack opponents.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
In Super Smash Bros. Melee Charizard once again appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon, retaining its attack and pattern from the original game, but this time using a 3D model ported from the Nintendo 64 Pokémon Stadium games instead of a 2D sprite, like all other Poké Ball Pokémon.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Template:Main-external Template:Quote2 Charizard returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. However, in both games, it is a standalone fighter, rather than being one of the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon, due to the removing of in-battle transformation moves. As such, Rock Smash takes the place of Pokémon Change as its down special move, while its new side special move is Flare Blitz, which involves Charizard flying directly forward, covered in fire which also damages itself. Charizard's new Final Smash is Mega Evolution, which involves it Mega Evolving into its Mega Charizard X form[2]. In addition, the glide and type effectiveness mechanics have also been removed.
Like all the other playable Pokémon, Charizard can be equipped with the X Attack, X Defense, and X Speed equipment. Additionally, Charizard can use the Fake Nails equipment, making it the only fighter in the game who can use three different attack equipment types.

Super Mario Maker
Charizard appears as an unlockable costume in Super Mario Maker. It can be unlocked by scanning the Charizard amiibo onto the GamePad, or at random by clearing the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal or a more difficult setting. The costume turns Mario into a sprite of Charizard based on the species' appearance in the Nintendo DS Pokémon games. While Mario's appearance changes with the costume, like with the other Pokémon costumes, the sound effects remain the default Super Mario Bros. sounds.
Charmander, Charizard’s first stage form, appears as a costume as well. It is unlocked by completing the I Choose You! Event Course after picking the Charmander path. Unlike the fully-evolved Charizard, Charmander uses Pokémon sound effects.

Lucas
Template:Quote2 Lucas is the protagonist of the Japan-only game Mother 3 from the EarthBound (Mother) series. In this game, he lived with his twin brother Claus and his parents Hinawa and Flint, in Tazmily Village located in the Nowhere Islands. However, tragedy soon strikes his family, as his mother is killed and his brother is lost, both of which set in motion Lucas' adventure to contend with the Pig Mask Army and its leader Porky.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Template:Main-external Lucas was initially absent from the roster, but later on released as the second downloadable playable character after Mewtwo in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, on June 14, 2015.[4] Visually, Lucas' moveset is almost totally unchanged from the previous game, though his Final Smash, PK Starstorm, has been altered to be similar to Ness' version. Additionally, Lucas has three new alternate costumes, which feature sprites of the Masked Man, Boney, and a baby Drago on his shirt. Lucas' design is changed: he loses the blush on his cheeks, his eyes lose their bluish hue, and he is taller and sleeker overall. Lucas' mobility is improved in this installment, while his attacks can better link into each other. On the downside, however, many of his attacks either deal less damage and knockback or have less range.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Super Mario Maker
In Super Mario Maker, Lucas appears as a Mystery Mushroom costume, which plays the sound effect from Mother 3 when an important item is obtained upon transforming into him. The costume can be randomly unlocked after completing the 100 Mario Challenge on Expert or harder, or unlocked by scanning the Lucas amiibo. Lucas is one of the two downloadable fighters from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U that appear as costumes in Super Mario Maker; the other being Mewtwo.

King Dedede
Template:Quote2 King Dedede is a large penguin-like creature,[5] the self-proclaimed king of Dream Land, and the rival of Kirby in the Kirby series. In his home series, he has acted as both an ally and enemy to Kirby.
Mario Kirby Meisaku Video
King Dedede, alongside his rival Kirby, appeared alongside Mario in the obscure educational video Mario Kirby Meisaku Video; however, this video was merely a compilation of their non-intertwining adventures. In Kirby's Mario Kirby Meisaku Video segment, King Dedede acted as the main antagonist, where it was believed that he had kidnapped the mother of a stray puppy that Kirby befriended. In actuality, King Dedede discovered the dog to have been injured and attempted to nurse her back to health at his castle.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros.
King Dedede makes a minor appearance in Super Smash Bros., as a background element that can be seen flying by on the Dream Land stage.
According to the website, King Dedede was originally planned to be a playable character, but he was cut due to time constraints.[6]
Super Smash Bros. Melee
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, King Dedede makes an appearance as a trophy. He is also still on the Dream Land stage, which returns from the original Super Smash Bros.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
King Dedede returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. While Masahiro Sakurai reprises King Dedede's role, he is given a more distorted voice. Several of his moves have been changed from the previous game; most of his aerial attacks are new, his side special has been changed to Gordo Throw, in which Dedede hammers a Gordo to attack opponents, and his Final Smash has been changed to Dedede Burst, which involves Dedede drawing in opponents with his suction breath before hammering them and ending with a bomb exploding on them. While most of his attributes remain relatively unchanged, he no longer has the fastest falling speed; King Dedede's air speed is slower, though other aspects of his mobility are improved. Similar to Meta Knight, King Dedede also has his overall damage output toned down.
Dedede also once again appears flying in the background of the Dream Land (64) stage that returns as downloadable content, though he does not appear if he is part of the battle.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Super Mario Maker
King Dedede also appears in Super Mario Maker as a Mystery Mushroom costume, based on his appearance in Kirby's Adventure.

Olimar
Template:Quote2 Captain Olimar (or simply Olimar) is the main protagonist of the Pikmin franchise, created by Shigeru Miyamoto. Olimar is actually named after Mario himself (Olimar is an anagram of Mario, with an L added; his Japanese name, Orimā, (オリマー) which was romanized as Olimar, is a near perfect anagram of "Mario"). He has crossed over with the Super Mario franchise primarily through the Super Smash Bros. series, but also through Nintendo Land as well, where Pikmin gets its own attraction, titled "Pikmin Adventure." Most of his other appearances involve cameos via amiibo.
Olimar had to be scaled up drastically, even more so than Kirby, for his appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series, as according to the Pikmin game manual, he is only about an inch tall. Olimar does not have any voice effects (unless players count his whistles as a voice effect) in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, making him the only playable character in the game without a star KO sound effect (although he would later share this trait with other characters in future installments). However, in Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3, and Super Mario Maker, he is voiced by Kazumi Totaka.
In Super Smash Bros. games beginning with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS onward, Alph, one of the protagonists of Pikmin 3, appears as an alternate costume of Olimar. His attacks and statistics are identical to Olimar's with any and all changes merely being cosmetic. As with other alternative costumes, the games do not acknowledge him as a separate character from Olimar in battle records and miscellaneous aspects, such as Classic Mode. The exception to this is the announcer, crowd, and character selection, all of which say and/or display his own name. He shares this trait with the Koopalings (the alternate costumes of Bowser Jr.) who are also named, but not acknowledged as separate characters.
Luigi's Mansion
A trailer for the first Pikmin game, which includes Olimar, appears in Luigi's Mansion's option screen. As the release of Luigi's Mansion predates that of Pikmin, this marks Olimar's overall first appearance in a video game.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Olimar was planned to make an appearance in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga as one of the characters that appears when Mario and Luigi create new brews in Starbeans Cafe. In this appearance, his dialogue was written in the type of text box that appears whenever Mario or Luigi get certain items, as though written in a log book like in the actual Pikmin games. He also names Mario "Marlio" (a complete anagram of "Olimar") and mistakes Luigi for a dangerous beast.[7] However, Professor E. Gadd replaced all of the other characters in the final version of the game in order to give E. Gadd a larger role.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Melee
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Olimar appears in the form of a trophy, which is unlocked if there is a Memory Card with saved game data for Pikmin inserted.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Template:Main-external Olimar appears as a default playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. His appearance has been altered from the previous game, adding a whistle into his helmet like in Pikmin 3. Instead of having six Pikmin like in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Olimar can now only pluck three Pikmin at a time, and in a certain order (being red, yellow, blue, white, and purple). His up special move has also been changed to Winged Pikmin, in which a pair of Winged Pikmin fly Olimar through the air for a short time; however, the more active Pikmin he has, the heavier he is when using this move. Four of Olimar's alternate costumes replace him with Alph from Pikmin 3, who acts as a separate character to Olimar, while still taking up the same slot as him. Olimar's home stage in the Wii U version of the game is Garden of Hope. For Equipment, Olimar can use the Pikmin equipment (usable only by him) to increase attack, the Space Suit (also available only to him) for defense, and the Boots for speed.
According to Masahiro Sakurai, the developers barely got Captain Olimar working in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS,[8] hence why the Pikmin count is reduced to three while the Pikmin are rendered as sprites.[9] Rock Pikmin were originally intended to be part of Olimar's moveset, but the idea was put in hold due to the lack of time.[10] They would have been heavy, with short reach, but high attack power, akin to a stronger version of Purple Pikmin. Alph had even been considered to be a separate clone character until it was decided to make him an alternate costume of Olimar.[11]
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
WarioWare: D.I.Y.
Olimar is seen in the WarioWare: D.I.Y. microgame Pikmin, exclusive to versions of the game outside Japan. The player controls Captain Olimar, who is holding a Red Pikmin in his hand and must toss it onto a small raft with nectar on it.
Nintendo Land
An attraction called Pikmin Adventure is featured in Nintendo Land. In this minigame, the player with the GamePad is dressed up as Olimar and uses Pikmin figurines to help him locate the lost spaceship.
Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
In Mario Kart 8 (as of the version 4.0 update) and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, players can scan Olimar's amiibo into the game to unlock a racing suit for Miis based upon his appearance. Olimar himself can be seen on the Mii Racing Suits menu next to his respective Mii racing suit.
Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World
An Olimar theme is one of the many unlockable amiibo designs for Yoshi in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. By scanning an Olimar amiibo, players can unlock an Olimar-themed reskin for Yoshi.
Super Mario Maker
Olimar, alongside the majority of the Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U playable cast, cameos as one of the costumes Mario can obtain in Super Mario Maker via the Costume Mario power-up. Upon powering up, Olimar's voice from Pikmin 2 can be heard. If the player completes a level as Olimar, the "Course Clear" fanfare is replaced by the tune that plays after obtaining an important item in Pikmin 3. Pressing 
on the controller lets Olimar blow his whistle.

Its flavor is most satisfying! Finding that such a drink could be partook of in such a place is a tremendous discovery, indeed! This Marlio creature exhibits what seems to be a longing expression... Perhaps it will react if I present it with something... I have just noticed a strange, unsightly green creature standing next to the Marlio... It could be a dangerous life form. I feel I should attack it before it attacks me." - Unused quote from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Toon Link
- "Wind Waker" redirects here. For the microgame in WarioWare: Smooth Moves, see The Wind Waker.
Template:Quote2 Toon Link is the incarnation of Link whose cartoony design first appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords. This version of Link is prominently featured in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, in which he goes on a quest to rescue his kidnapped sister, Aryll, and later becomes known as the "Hero of Winds" for his courageous efforts against the returning Ganondorf. In The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, the same Link is transported to a parallel world, where he seeks to rescue his companion Tetra from the curse inflicted upon her by the squid-like monster Bellum and return home with her.
While the cel-shaded art style typically associated with the "Toon" term was established during the development cycle of The Wind Waker,[13] the first usage of the term itself occurred in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to denote the Hero of Winds from The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass. However, the "Toon" term itself can nevertheless be used to describe the same art style; for instance, Toon Link's trophies from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U list The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks as an appearance, despite technically being a separate Link.
Toon Link appears as a playable fighter in the Super Smash Bros. series starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and is treated as a separate character from Link and Young Link.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Link was originally supposed to cameo in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga as one of the many Nintendo characters (all of whom were replaced by Professor E. Gadd in the final) who would appear at the Starbeans Cafe to test out Mario and Luigi's latest Bean Juice.[14] His sprite seems to have been modeled after the incarnation of Link as he appears in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.[15] Meeting Link would award the player the Triforce, which was replaced with the Great Force for the final version.
WarioWare series
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, there is a microgame called The Wind Waker which involves Link using his Deku Leaf to land on an island. This game uses the form "The Mohawk".
WarioWare Gold
The microgame The Wind Waker returns with Toon Link in WarioWare Gold, alongside a new microgame called Phantom Hourglass, in which the player must draw a path for Toon Link's Boomerang to hit Shock Switches.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Template:Main-external Toon Link returns as a starter playable character in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. His moveset remains unchanged from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, though with the game's new art style his design has been updated to more closely resemble his actual appearance in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Toon Link is faster than before, but in exchange, his damage output is lower.
One of Toon Link's additional alternate costumes in this game is based upon the appearance of the Link from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Additionally, the Toon Link from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (also known as "Engineer Link") appears as a background character, complete with his Engineer's Clothes to further differentiate him. Engineer Link appears on the Spirit Train stage in the Nintendo 3DS version, where he conducts the titular train. However, he is replaced by his mentor Alfonzo if Toon Link or Link are involved in the battle.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Super Mario Maker
Toon Link appears as two Mystery Mushroom costumes in Super Mario Maker: one based on his appearance in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and one (named Totem Link) based on the trio of protagonists in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. The former costume can be unlocked by scanning the Toon Link Amiibo or randomly after completing the 100 Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty, while the latter costume is unlocked after completing the "Tri Force Heroes" Event Course.
