History VideoGame / PocketAllStarSmashBrothers

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The main shop (mainly accepts Coins and Jewels, though the second section of that shop accepts a special currency, along with the usual Jewels) features a total of four store sections (counting the ones temporarily opened after "traveling merchant" encounters), each with its own unique shopkeeper/merchant. The shopkeepers/merchants include Blue Toad, a Luma, Captain Toad, and... [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Tingle]]. Note that Tingle is also notably the only non-''Mario'' character to be an {{NPC}} in this game.

* DropTheHammer: Dedede's, Amy's, and the Ice Climbers' weapon of choice. Hammer Bros obviously attack using hammers.

* ObviousBeta: Despite the latest version prior to this game's death is 2.0.0. The most notable is the fact that only the first two skills on a fighter's skillset are usable, even though all skills, once unlocked, can be upgraded. The same can be said for companion Pokémon, as they're stuck with only being able to use one main move and not the other four, even though they can be unlocked and upgraded. Both cases pretty much result in basic battle strategies.

* ''Franchise/MetalGear''

* ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}''

* ''VideoGame/StarFox''

* GuestFighter: Being based on ''Super Smash Bros.'', this is a given. Guest fighters include Franchise/MegaMan, [[Franchise/MetalGear Snake]] (and his Stage 1 form, [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Soldier: 76]]), Ash (from the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime series, thus the only fighter not originated from video games), [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic, Amy]], and [[Franchise/StreetFighter M. Bison]] (though Ryu is nowhere to be seen).

* PowerPalms: Captain Falcon ends his special by unleashing an energy shot from his palms, [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Hadouken]] style.

* YouAllLookFamiliar: Enemy-only characters, even if they're based on normally "unique" characters, aren't treated as such unlike enemies based on playable fighters. So, it is possible to encounter multiple Larries, Roys, Mortons, Ludwigs, or Toadsworths in a single battle sequence.

* WhipItGood: Zero Suit Samus's regular attack, which utilizes her Paralyzer's Plasma Whip.

The game achieved [[http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/07/chinese_app_pocket_all-stars_smash_bros_uses_nintendo_capcom_and_sega_franchises notoriety]] mid-2016, just at the time when the news about the unofficial mobile port of ''VideoGame/Splatoon1}'' (renamed ''Sepia Go!'') was still fresh in Nintendo fans' minds. The backlash is obvious; as mentioned before, this game is an unlicensed mobile game that uses copyrighted characters without permission...

* MoneyGrinding: UpToEleven, since aside from the common Coins and premium currency Jewels, there are LOADS of other currencies, each gathered from their relevant modes. And you need them to buy certain stuff.
