*** [[FindingForrester So he's the Man now Dog?]]

** There are many more, for example the the [[GoodBadBugs Zap Jump]], or Mario's Yeeha.

** Randall, the cloud from Yoshi's Story, is a textbook example. In high-level play, expect to see ''a lot'' of incredible wins and defeats thanks to him.

** [[TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf's]] [[ThreeHundred SPARTA]] [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Kick]].
** King Dedede's BIG GAY DANCE!
** Alternatively, BIG GAY FIRE/THUNDER!

** Ganondorf's Palette swap "Old Manondorf", also referred to as SeanConnery or [[TheLordOfTheRings Ganondalf]], is worth mentioning.

** You probably didn't notice it, but the Subspace Emissary's cutscenes, Bowser is voiced by none other than JimCummings.

** Pit's Japanese voice is MinamiTakayama, AKA DetectiveConan.
** Naturally, David Hayter, Christopher Randolph, Paul Eiding, Rob Paulsen and Kim Mai Guest reprising their ''MetalGearSolid'' roles.
** Lucas (and Pit in the English version) is voiced by Lani Minella, known as the current [[SoulSeries Ivy]] and the former (Pre-''ShadowTheHedgehog'') Rouge the Bat (the latter role makes it quite amusing considering Sonic's presence). Also Luke in the American dub of [[ProfessorLayton Professor Layton]].
** [[{{Dragonball}} Vegeta]] [[RyoHorikawa voices]] Captain Falcon. So his [[MegatonPunch Falcon Punch]]'s [[PowerLevels power level]] must be '''''[[MemeticMutation OVER]] [[strike:[[MemeticMutation 9000]]]] 8000!!!'''''
*** And on top of that, 2 HeyItsThatVoice 's down, Lucario is voiced by Goku.
** [[SanaeKobayashi The reason]] why the Ice Climbers are so strong: Popo is really [[DGrayMan Allen Walker]] and Nana is really [[ElfenLied Lucy]].
** [[{{Dragonball}} Goku]] voices Lucario. Kind of funny when you realize that Lucario's [[KamehameHadouken Final Smash]] resembles Goku's Kamehameha.
*** [[TheOtherDarrin Er... not quite]]. No SeanSchemmel here.
** And if you at all find the announcer in ''Brawl'''s voice familiar, chances are you watched ''[[BillNyetheScienceGuy Bill Nye]]'' as a kid since that's Pat Cashman, announcer for ''Bill Nye'' and the Seattle-only ''Almost Live''.
** The voice over in the commercial for the original game (linked above) is none other than Mr. Movie Trailer himself, the late great DonLaFontaine.
