History Characters / SuperSmashBrosU3DS

** Her being a clone of Marth is appropriate given she masqueraded as him for the first part of her debut game. Also in ''Awakening'', the "real" Marth[[note]][[ItMakesSenseInContext A sort ghost/spiritual manifestation of him]] available as DLC[[/note]] was a headswap of her.

* CallingYourAttacks: When firing their fully charged standard special. ''"Sun Salutation!"''

!!!!!!Voiced by Creator/HisaoEgawa (''Brawl''), Creator/KosukeToriumi (Wii U/3DS)

* {{Determinator}}: Not only is he a tiny young boxer that nonetheless still became the world champion of the WVBA, but WordOfGod says that sheer willpower is the reason why [[ImmuneToFlinching he can shrug off some attacks]].

* ElementalPunch: The Firespin Lunge variation of his neutral special engulfs his fist in [[PlayingWithFire flame]], which charges faster but is weaker. Shocking Lunge imbues it with [[ShockAndAwe electricity]], which stuns an opponent when fully charged but lacks super armor.

* ImmuneToFlinching: Several of his moves have armor to varying degrees. Most notably, he gets armor while he's charging his standard special before he even attacks. It's lampshaded and given an InUniverse explanation in the Super Smash Bros Direct, where it is said that Mac can shrug off some attacks [[{{Determinator}} through sheer willpower]]. He's immune to knockback all the time when he's Giga Mac.
* InertiaIsACruelMistress: His Side B specials are subject to this. Missing with them and flying off the stage is a guaranteed Self Destruct.

* MilestoneCelebration: His announcement trailer was released on February 2014, a full 30 years since the release of the original arcade ''Punch-Out!!''.

* StylisticSuck: His air attacks look incredibly clumsy and silly, due to being a ground fighter.

-->'''Palutena:''' *Dark Pit lands behind her* Dark Pit... You just dropped in to crash my party?\\
'''Dark Pit:''' *smirks* Uh-huh.

** Upon getting KO'd, female Robin may yell ''"I was careless!"'', the same as Kjelle's line in ''Awakening'' should she be killed in battle.
** ''"Time to tip the scales!"'' and female Robin's gloating ''"Ha, checkmate!"'' reference two of their critical hit lines in ''Awakening''.

-->'''Lucina:''' For my father!

** Her being a clone of Marth is appropriate given she masqueraded as him for the first part of her debut game. Also in ''Awakening'', the real Marth was a head swap of her.

* OutOfCharacter: Seems to be a thing with the ''Fire Emblem'' characters. See TrashTalk below; in ''Fire Emblem Awakening'', Lucina does nothing but completely and utterly respect the memory of Marth, so her mocking of him (and to a lesser degree, Ike) comes off as ''very'' strange. She also shares Marth's cry of ''"There's no way I can lose"'' for her taunt, and like Marth, this is much more confident than her portrayal in ''Fire Emblem''.
* PaletteSwap: Hers reference some of the other female characters from ''Awakening'', specifically Nowi, Cherche, Cordelia, Tiki, Lissa, Tharja, and Sumia. It goes so far as to even change the design on her ''cape'': her normal, Sumia, Lissa, Cordelia, and Nowi palette has the Mark of Naga, the Tharja one has three veritcal eyeballs a la Grima, and the Tiki one has two drawings of Naga.

* TrashTalk: Her opinions of the classic ''Fire Emblem'' characters... change, if she beats them in a one-on-one fight:
--> '''vs. Marth''': This ''is the Hero-King?''
--> '''vs. Ike''': ''And they call'' you ''the Radiant Hero?''

* EmbarrassingNickname: Pittoo; a tongue-in-cheek nickname given to him in ''Uprising''. He really doesn't like it. Here in ''Smash'', the crowd cheers for him by chanting ''"Pittoo! Pittoo!"'', and Palutena mocks him with it after defeating him.
-->'''Palutena:''' Poor little Pittoo.

--> '''Dark Pit''': [[WhereIsYourXNow ''Where's your goddess now?'']]

* CallingYourAttacks: The Wild Gunmen do this, shouting ''"Fire!"'' whenever they appear.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Like in the Wii game. Generally considered to be Italian-American ([[SuddenlyVoiced and had this accent]] in the Wii game's commercial), à la ''Franchise/{{Rocky}}''.
* ArtEvolution: His ''Brawl'' design is more closely inspired by the NES original while in 4 his design is taken from Punch-Out!! Wii, (however with the unmistakably black hair from the NES game, instead of the [[HairColorDissonance dark blue/greenish black hair]] from the Wii game.) [[http://i.imgur.com/rDADYvb.png Comparison here.]]

* NonDubbedGrunts: He sounds substantially different from Matt Harty, who voiced his grunts in Wii's ''Punch-Out!!''

* PaletteSwap: Unique in that ''all'' of his (non-wireframe) palettes are clothes he actually wore in his home series. The default color is the Minor Circuit outfit, and he also has the Major Circuit, World Circuit, Title Defense and second player outfits from the Wii version of ''Punch-Out!!'' Other palettes are his blonde appearance from ''Super Punch-Out!!'', the strange white and black outfit he suddenly dons in the NES game when he defeats an opponent, and his famous [[RealMenWearPink pink]] sweatsuit. He also has wireframe versions of all of these outfits, referencing the arcade version of the game, with the sweatsuit version of that inverting the colors so that his gloves are pink and suit is green.

* SteamPunk: An alternate costume unlocked by destroying all of the red targets in Target Blast on the 3DS version.

* CanonWelding: In a twist for the series, there's some intrigue in his entry for "Palutena's Guidance Secrets" that leads directly off of ''[[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising]]'': Dark Pit now officially works for Viridi, and they have pulled an EnemyMine on Pit and Palutena.

** His boxing ring alias, "Blue Metal Hero", seems to be a nod to ''Video/MegaMan8'''s Japanese subtitle: ''Metal Heroes''.

* TheGhost: The person with the Zapper doesn't appear in person. Palutena's Guidance on Duck Hunt doesn't elaborate on him much, either.

** He can wall jump in ''Smash'', which was one of X's abilities.

** In a MirrorMatch, it's entirely possible for two Macs to attack each other with this, only for their punches to negate each other, with the clash potentially going on indefinately. It ends up looking like a clash between [[JoJosBizarreAdventure Jotaro and Dio]].

* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: Despite her snarking, she comes across as the most level-headed character during her Guidance conversations, in comparison to the easily distracted Pit and the childish Viridi.

* [[TheSmartGuy The Smart Girl]]: Shares her knowledge of the ''Smash'' fighters with Pit during his Palutena's Guidance taunts.

* BigGood: While ''Smash 4'' lacks a story mode, Palutena comes across as this due to the Palutena's Guidance taunts showcasing her reasonably extensive knowledge of the other fighters, in keeping with her advisory role from ''Uprising''.

* BigGood: While ''Smash 4'' lacks a story mode, Palutena comes across as this due to the Palutena's Guidance taunts showcasing her reasonably extensive knowledge of the other fighters, in keeping with her nature as the Goddess of Wisdom.

The Goddess of Light and ruler of Skyworld, Palutena goes to great lengths to protect her people, and those who dwell on the surface lands below. See also [[SelfDemonstrating/{{Palutena}} her Self-Demonstrating page]], which is based just as much on her appearance in ''Smash'' as on her home series[[note]]with her current incarnation being molded by Sakurai and created for ''Smash''[[/note]].

* {{Adorkable}}: She keeps her humorous and adorable personality from ''Uprising''.

* CasualDangerDialogue: Another carried trait in the reveal trailer, as she casually chats with Pit while showcasing her skills to the other ''Smash'' combatants.

* DeadpanSnarker: To Pit and Dark Pit in her reveal trailer, a personality trait carryover from ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising''.

* ArtShift: The non-gameplay bits of her trailer are done in anime style. These portions were animated by Creator/{{SHAFT}}, who also animated the "Palutena's Revolting Dinner'' short to promote ''Uprising''.

* {{Badass}}: She definitely shows off the power of a god here.

[[caption-width-right:348:L-R: Gunner, Brawler, Swordfighter]]

* MovesetClone: Partially. Some of their attacks are taken directly from other fighters, like Swordfighter's Hero's Spin being Link's Spin Attack.

* CutscenePowerToTheMax: In the ''Mario'' series, he's presented as a legitimate threat, but usually never enough to be able to take on Mario by himself. In his intro trailer, he takes on Mario ''and'' Link, Samus, Megaman, and Kirby single handedly before calling in his koopaling reinforcements for a coup-de-gras.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Few people were expecting ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'' to get a second new representative in ''Wii U/3DS'', and even fewer people were expecting said representative to be Dark Pit. Prior to the ESRB leak unofficially confirming him as a playable character, many people assumed that he would be the stage boss of the Palutena's Temple stage, or an alternate costume of Pit with unique voice clips.
** Even the early reveal of Dark Pit in the stinger of Palutena's reveal trailer wasn't enough to make people realize he would be a separate character from Pit.

* CompositeCharacter: They act as one for the various incarnations of the villager, plus the VideoGame/{{Balloon Fight}}er, using various items and tools you can find in VideoGame/{{Animal Crossing}} itself.
