The Smash Fighters

Smash 64 Veterans

1: Mario (18: Dr. Mario)

Series: Super Mario Bros.

Debut: Donkey Kong (1981, Mario), Dr. Mario (1990, Dr. Mario)

The ever-vigilant Hero of the Mushroom Kingdom. He also works as the Smash House's physician and therapist.

All Men Are Perverts: Early strips have him attracted to Bowsette, of all things, much to Bowser's disgust and Peach's annoyance. The gag was dropped starting in 2019 however, likely due to Bowsette's popularity fading in the years following the Updated Re Release of New Super Mario Bros. U.
Composite Character: He and Dr. Mario are the same character in this series, in keeping with Super Mario canon.
Hollywood Mid-Life Crisis: He goes through one when he turns 35 (read, the 35th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. series) and gives himself a makeover, which includes shaving off his mustache, shocking everyone. The bonus panels even show that Sakurai had to take Ultimate offline for some time until Mario's mustache grew again.
Isabelle: What the fuck.^*
Horrible Judge of Character: Just before everyone gets poisoned by Sephiroth, he tells Cloud to just let it go because Sephiroth has changed. Needless to say, he learns to regret it.
Rage Quit: His response to various fighters hurting themselves so they can be in the infirmary with Pyra and Mythra is to quit as a doctor and become a therapist instead.
Official Couple: Carried over from the games, he's implied to be dating Peach, calling her "babe" when asking about a way to revive Ganondorf.
Too Dumb to Live: One comic has him ask for ways to revive Ganondorf in a town inhabited by the Gerudo (who hate Ganondorf, just to be clear). He and the others are promptly thrown in prison.
Sheik: That was not the brightest thing you've ever done.

2: Donkey Kong

Series: Donkey Kong Country

Debut: Donkey Kong (1981, as the character), Donkey Kong Country (1994, as the current Donkey Kong^*)

Leader and one of the biggest members of the Kongs, he was once Mario's nemesis but the two have since buried the hatchet (mostly).

Trademark Favorite Food: Bananas, as always. He even steals Master Kohga's entire supply after they revive Ganondorf.
Friend to All Children: If the "Baby Mac Duty" list is to be believed, DK is trustworthy enough with kids to look after Baby Little Mac for a day.

3: Link

Series: The Legend of Zelda

Debut: The Legend of Zelda (1986, as the character), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017, as the current incarnation)

The Hero of the Wild, the latest incarnation of Hyrule's savior.

An Arm and a Leg: Link loses his right arm to one of the Mauses during the final assault on the pests, leading to him obtaining Rauru's arm from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Delayed "Oh, Crap!": He doesn't immediately realize that the Mauses have made off with his arm.
Jerkass: Alongside Pikachu, uses his Zonai powers to torture Koroks while in Hyrule.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Link yelling over losing his right arm to the Mauses led to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Ganondorf waking up, breaking his seal and destroy the ground beneath the group trying to take Link to some healers, sending them into the depths and getting separated.
Stable Time Loop: The original Link that was poisoned by Sephiroth is technically still recovering in the Shrine of Resurrection. The Link that is present is from a hundred years into the future. This also means that the original Link will awake just in time for the rest of the fighters to pick him up and take him back to the past, thus restarting the loop every time. Oddly, no one points this out.

4: Samus Aran (29: Zero Suit Samus)

Series: Metroid

Debut: Metroid (1986, Samus), Metroid: Zero Mission (2004, Zero Suit Samus)

Intrepid bounty hunter who personally eradicated the Metroids.

Composite Character: While Zero Suit Samus is a separate fighter in the game, both incarnations are the same individual in the comic, as in Metroid canon.
Crazy Enough to Work: When making use of the Downer Ending of the first Pikmin game to revive Olimar and Alph, Samus decides to try it with Ridley too, making use of that fact that he always seems to find a way to come back to life. Falco is sceptical of the method and thus bets Samus $100 that it won't work. Surely enough, Ridley comes back to life and Samus wins The Bet, much to Falco's frustration.
Mama Bear: Loves being a mother figure — probably due to her bond with the Metroid Hatchling in her series — and pretty much adopts Little Mac when he was accidentally turned into a baby from submerging in the Rewind Springs for too long, claiming that "he's perfect" when it was pointed out as one of the problems that needed to be solved. It took her a while to be convinced to have Dialga change him back and even then, she still hates it.
Ms. Fanservice: She spends most of the comic in her Zero Suit, which really shows off her figure. Heck, she was among the fighters sitting at the "Exhibitionists" table in the cafeteria.
Official Couple: Seems to be in a relationship with Snake, though it's unknown if Samus is aware that Snake is married to Ness' mother.
Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Turns out she didn't die due to Sephiroth's poisoning: she was on a mission at the time in ZDR and left a spare Varia suit behind at the mansion for the party.

5: Yoshi

Series: Yoshi's Island

Debut: Super Mario World (1990)

A member of a gluttonous dinosaur species that often serves as Mario's sidekick.

Instant Expert: Despite the new Yoshi having just been hatched, he pretty quickly becomes a skilled Smash fighter.
Interspecies Romance: At least, an attempted example. In a bonus panel, the original Yoshi is seen flirting with Arthur Morgan's horse.
Killed Off for Real: The original Yoshi was replaced by an identical new Yoshi instead of being revived, meaning that he is gone for good.
Last Disrespects: After the new replacement Yoshi comes out of the egg, the old deceased Yoshi is tossed into a trash can.
Replacement Goldfish: Rather than reviving Yoshi with 1-UP Mushrooms like the rest of the Mario cast, Waluigi gives Kazuya, Incineroar and Kirby a Yoshi egg from which a new Yoshi appears, stating that people in the Mushroom Kingdom have been sacrificing and replacing Yoshis since 1990 as part of a tradition.

6: Kirby

Series: Kirby

Debut: Kirby's Dream Land (1992)

Dream Land’s gluttonous superstar and protector.

The Dreaded: He's apparently this to Death who quickly gives up a magic orb needed to revive Simon and Richter.
Heart Is an Awesome Power: Literally. One of his abilities are the Friend Hearts from Kirby Star Allies which he uses to force a Heel–Face Turn on Sephiroth and also weakens Shadow Sephiroth in his palace.
Irony: Kirby locking Incineroar up just as he was about to reveal the last two DLC fighters ahead of time ended up saving the Pokémon from Sephiroth's poison gambit and allowed him and Kazuya to start reviving everyone.
Squashed Flat: He is flattened when Pikachu lands on him with a glider.
Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: For someone who acts like an innocent puffball, there are moments where he's anything but:
- Personally shot Incineroar for trying to reveal the last two DLC fighters ahead of time.
- Decapitated a Mushroom Kingdom penguin to try and revive King Dedede. It didn't work.
- When pretending to be Meta Knight and joining Sephiroth, he gives two middle fingers to the smash cast.
Unexplained Recovery: Kirby didn't die after being poisoned.

7: Fox McCloud

Series: Star Fox

Debut: Star Fox (1993)

The leader of Team Star Fox, heroes of the Lylat System.

Attack Reflector: His Reflector, as per Smash canon. In "Maushold Siege", he uses it to deflect the Charge Shot fired by several Mauses controlling Dark Samus's armor.
Chick Magnet: To other Funny Animal girls, as shown by Whitney.

8: Pikachu

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Red and Green (1996)

The Electric Mouse Pokémon, his popularity has rendered him the mascot and face of Pokémon as a whole.

Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Is very haughty when he learns that he is in the top of the tier list, forcing the other Smashers to trick Sakurai into nerfing him.
An Arm and a Leg: For some reason, he got his left arm replaced with Rauru's arm after going with Zelda and the others to get Link healed.
Jerkass: Alongside Link, uses his Zonai powers to torture Koroks while in Hyrule.
Mythology Gag: When Samus goes to find Xerneas to revive her Pokémon friends, Pikachu rides on her shoulder. Reminds one of the partnership they had during The Subspace Emissary Adventure Mode in Brawl.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Flees the scene with Recall once the Smashers' angry neighbors show up after Pikachu and Link's catapults sends projectiles into the neighbor's houses, leaving Lucario and Isabelle to take their wrath.
Suddenly Speaking: Unlike most of its appearances, it's shown to be capable of human speech early on, as shown when it got a high head due to being top-tier, and when it hit on Samus using Isabelle's fake arms. Later, it would fall back in line with its standard depiction by using Pokémon Speak.

9: Luigi

Series: Super Mario Bros.

Debut: Mario Bros. (1983)

Mario's younger twin brother who—despite his timid nature—is just as big a hero as Mario.

An Arm and a Leg: Gets his hands sliced off by Lady Dimitrescu after Wario gropes her butt and pins the blame on him. They grow back not long after however (either that, or he had them surgically put back).
Be Yourself: A comic strip that has many of the Smashers at the beach has Luigi insecure about his portly figure compared to the more sculpted men and ladies of the cast, prompting him to keep his torso hidden under a t-shirt. However, those very same fighters encourage Luigi by telling him that he's still fit, and he ends being comfortable enough to take his t-shirt off and enjoy his day at the beach.
Butt-Monkey: Poor Luigi has gotten into lots of misfortune throughout the series, ranging from getting his hands sliced off by Lady Dimitrescu after Wario gropes her and blames him for it, to the Great Fairy developing an obsession with him and trying to force him into marrying her.
Official Couple: Carried over from the games, he appears to be dating Daisy, seeing as how he gets jealous when Brassius tries to flirt with her, and how she personally carries him in bridal style after he passes out drunk during a celebration.
Puppy-Dog Eyes: He gives these to Malanya in order to convince the Horse Spirit to revive the Duck Hunt Duo.
The Scapegoat: During a visit to Castle Dimitrescu, Wario grabs Lady Dimitrescu's butt slyly enough to pin the blame on Luigi, who gets his hands sliced off in retaliation.

10: Ness

Series: Mother

Debut: EarthBound (1994)

A PK-powered boy from Eagleland.

Hey, That's My Line!: He thinks that Terry's "Are you okay?" line rips off his own "Okay".
Luke, I Am Your Father: As revealed in the bonus panels, Snake is married to Ness' mother and is thus his father.
Mundane Utility: Uses his PSI powers to cheat at poker.
The Quiet One: Ness never speaks. The closest he has come to it in the series is him calling Wolf a "boomer" in his mind. That said, he gets angry when Terry seemingly rips-off his "Okay", possibly meaning that he can talk, he just never does it on-screen.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Implied. Both he and Lucas were still targeted by Sephiroth's poisoning scheme even though they previously had helped him prank Cloud.

11: Captain Falcon

Series: F-Zero

Debut: F-Zero (1990)

Expert F-Zero pilot and feared bounty hunter.

Big "YES!": Shouts one when he gets revived.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He gets the reaction after his trip from Nohr. At first he was merely tolerable of the disturbing sight of Benny and Elise being a couple, but he drew the line when he heard that Corrin and Camilla, adoptive siblings, are married. He got out of there quickly.

12: Jigglypuff

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Red and Green (1996)

The big-eyed Balloon Pokémon whose song can put those who hear it to sleep.

Face Doodling: Jigglypuff has a fondness for doing this. Various examples include doodling everywhere with the marker she gets as a present in Christmas of 2018, doodling on an asleep Byleth for not being invited to her choir practice, and doodling on the deceased Pokémon fighters after being revived by Arceus.

Melee Veterans

13: Princess Peach

Series: Super Mario Bros.

Debut: Super Mario Bros. (1985)

The beloved Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Fur Bikini: She and Daisy make these with the fur they got from Incineroar in Revenge for his prank on them and the other Mario fighters. The two princesses end up expanding upon the idea and start a business, making bikinis and women's underwear and earning a lot of money.
Heel Realization: Peach and Daisy come to realize their fur lingerie business wasn't the most ethical of lucrative outlets (plus there's only so many willing models to go around), so they close up business. Rosalina then takes advantage of this and steals their idea.
Ms. Fanservice: Along with Daisy after the two use Incineroar's fur to make Fur Bikinis, which they proudly show off quite a lot, and while they do revert to their regular dresses a few comics later, in turn they start a lingerie business that becomes very successful among other female videogame characters.
Official Couple: Carried over from the games, Peach is implied to be in a relationship with Mario.
Those Two Girls: More often than not, Peach is usually seen with Daisy, but there are instances of the two being separated; Peach shows up on her own more than Daisy during the revival arc, and Daisy gets stranded in Paldea while Peach is held hostage by the Mauses in the Paldea Misadventures arc.

14: King Bowser Koopa

Series: Super Mario Bros.

Debut: Super Mario Bros. (1985)

The ferocious King of the Koopas who has made kidnapping Peach his favorite pastime.

Butt-Monkey: The other Smash villains had long since made a habit of dressing him up as Bows ette while he is sleep when it's first shown in the comic.
Papa Wolf: He's already one of these towards his son, but he ends up ready to square off against Sephiroth when the One-Winged Angel attempts to destroy the bodies of the remaining deceased fighters to ensure that they can't be brought back.
Playing with Fire: He's known for breathing a large gout of flames.

15: Popo and Nana, the Ice Climbers

Series: Ice Climber

Debut: Ice Climber (1985)

A pair of young mountain climbers.

Cephalothorax: The bonus panel for the beach comic reveals both of them to consist of just a head with limbs underneath their parkas.
Determinator: In a bonus panel, Kazuya is actually amused at how they'll always climb back to the top of the volcano he throws them in.
The Quiet One: They never speak.

16: Sheik

Series: The Legend of Zelda

Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)

The illusive Sheikah who is in fact Zelda in disguise.

Ambiguous Gender Identity: While simply being another incarnation of Zelda in disguise, Sheik is seen showering with the male fighters in one strip, and Mario refers to them with male pronouns when it comes to reviving the Zelda characters, but Sheik is also part of the audience of the drinking competition between Bayonetta and the Aegis, which only allowed women.
Decomposite Character: The comic makes it clear that Sheik is not a transformation of Zelda, as they are each from different part of the Timeline. This even comes into the plot of Tears of the Kingdom arc: Because the Smashers who meet the Yiga when trying to revive Ganondorf include Sheik but not Zelda, Master Kohga, who has thus seen Sheik, doesn't recognize Zelda after unmasking her during her (miserable) attempt to sneak in.

17: Princess Zelda

Series: The Legend of Zelda

Debut: The Legend of Zelda (1986, as the character), The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1991, as the current incarnation)

The wise Princess of Hyrule.

Bad Liar: Her pitiful stammering when trying to blend in with Master Kohga's squad in Tears of the Kingdom arc instantly alerts him to unmask her on the spot. He lets her off only because she isn't the exact Zelda he's looking for.
Clueless Dude Magnet: Seems unaware of how the three Links are fighting over her. Subverted in that she's aware of Young Link's affection and seems to return it.
Decomposite Character: The comic makes explicitly clear that she and Sheik are not the same person this time around.
Flipping the Bird: Does this to Master Kohga as she rides the electric dragon Farosh out of Hyrule's Depths.
Summon Magic: She can summon a Phantom Knight as extra muscle power, such as for knocking out a Yiga footsoldier to steal his uniform and unsealing the Master Sword which requires more stamina than she herself has.

19: Pichu

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Gold and Silver (1999)

The Tiny Mouse Baby Pokémon who has yet to master its control over its electricity.

Characterization Marches On: In earlier strips, Pichu's main defining trait was that it was a masochist. Later strips in the series gradually phased out this trait to the point where it is no longer what Pichu is known for.
Insistent Terminology: Early on, Pichu preferred to be called "Blackrose". This has been phased out along with its masochistic tendencies.

20: Falco Lombardi

Series: Star Fox

Debut: Star Fox (1993)

A member of Star Fox and Fox's hot-tempered wingman.

The Bet: Makes one with Samus over whether or not the idea of burying Ridley like he's a Pikmin would resurrect him. Surely enough, Samus wins and gets $100 out of it, much to Falco's frustration.

21: Marth

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light (1990)

The brave, kind-hearted Prince of Altea.

Gratuitous English: In the first few strips, Marth is apparently still learning how to speak English, and it results in him letting out sentences in broken English. After he is revived, however, Isabelle reveals that being dead for so long caused him to only be able to speak Japanese again.
Language Barrier: Because the gang took so long to revive Marth, he lost the ability to speak in English and is back to only speaking Japanese (with Marth himself being annoyed at the cast for not just learning Japanese). To circumvent this, Kazuya serves as his translator until he learns how to speak English again.

22: Young Link

Series: The Legend of Zelda

Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)

The child incarnation of the Hero of Time.

Big Damn Heroes: Alongside a clan of Lynels, he rescues Beedle from Villager's army of Bokoblins and Moblins when the shopkeeper is taken captive by them.
But Now I Must Go: To the Lynel family in Hyrule when he finally reunites with Link and Pikachu.
Locked Out of the Loop: He doesn't know who Tabuu is, due to being cut from Brawl.
Nice Guy: Gets Malanya to revive the Lynel family's deceased child as a parting gift for them.
Oh, Crap!: Has this reaction when Tabuu is awakened.
Precocious Crush: He has a crush on Zelda and looks noticeably jealous when she signals the mistletoe to older Link.
Replacement Goldfish: Serves as this to a Lynel couple in Hyrule who lost their child in a Hinox attack.
Walking Shirtless Scene: He spends the entirety of the Tears of the Kingdom arc barechested, likely because his adoptive Lynel tribe are themselves minimally-dressed.

23: Ganondorf

Series: The Legend of Zelda

Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998)

The dreaded King of the Gerudo and the eternal enemy of Link and Zelda.

Big Damn Heroes: In "Gloom Link", he shows up in the nick of time to save Toon Link from a Phantom Ganon.
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Upon finding out there's a 50K rupee bounty on him just for "being a villain", he sets off to help various locals to clear his name. All he gets is a 50 rupee discount on the bounty^notenot even 1% of the bounty value, prompting him to force a Hyrule Castle guard to manually remove the bounty.
Forgot Flanders Could Do That: Done to himself. He's lived for so long that he's forgotten his people's tradition of making the sole male Gerudo the king of the tribe.
Mean Character, Nice Actor: While he is part of the Smash Villains Club (and initially kicks Sephiroth out for seemingly turning nice), he himself is a lot nicer than in canon. He also doesn't turn against the other Smashers when Sephiroth offers. He also goes along with Zelda, the other two Links, and Pikachu to get regular Link healed after he lost his arm.
Papa Wolf:
- Thrashes the Yiga clan for attempting to offer Mario, the Ice Climbers, DK, and Sheik to him as sacrifices.
- He rescues a critically wounded Toon Link from Phantom Ganon, punching the demon to death with the look of an enraged father before hugging Toon Link in relief.
Walking Shirtless Scene: He spends his entire screentime in Tears of the Kingdom arc in his underpants. At the conclusion of the arc, Isabelle irately brings some change as if to nonverbally tell him to get dressed.

24: Mewtwo

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Red and Green (1996)

A genetically-engineered Psychic Pokémon built to be the strongest Pokémon in the world.

Mundane Utility: Uses its psychic abilities to cheat at poker
Pet the Dog: After Isabelle is pressured into arm wrestling Little Mac, it provides unnoticed assistance by psychically empowering her arm to help her win (and break Little Mac's hand in the process).

25: Roy

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (2002)

A young Lord from Pherae also known as "the Young Lion".

Stealing the Credit: He takes an outfit Chrom was going to use to impress Pyra (which Lucina had made him change out of) and uses it instead.

26: Mr. Game & Watch

Series: Game & Watch

Debut: Ball (1980)

A completely flat, black blob humanoid who hails from Flat Zone.

Loophole Abuse: He's revived when Sora makes a black paper-craft 1-Up for him.

Brawl Veterans

27: Meta Knight

Series: Kirby

Debut: Kirby's Adventure (1993)

The mysterious masked swordsman of Dream Land and leader of the Meta Knights.

Adaptational Villainy: Although Meta Knight has come to blows with Kirby on a number of occasions in canon, it's inaccurate to call him evil as he's more of an anti-hero who more often than not assists Kirby in his adventure in some way. Here, he's a member of the Smash Villains Club and hangs out with the other villains in the roster.
Fake Defector: To trick Sephiroth, Meta Knight has Kirby dress as him using his armor and a dark blue paint job and pretend to have had a Face–Heel Turn.
"Shaggy Dog" Story: He goes through a hell of a gauntlet to get the Drink of the Gods to revive Pit...only to find out that Pit was revived with floor ice cream (it gives you health!) Thankfully, they were still able to use it to revive Dark Pit, but it had to be tainted black with Brewster's coffee because he didn't want to admit a pink drink revived him.

28: Pit

Series: Kid Icarus

Debut: Kid Icarus (1986)

A loyal angel of Palutena who serves as the general of Skyworld's Army.

Trademark Favorite Food: Really likes his Floor Ice Cream.

30: Wario

Series: Wario

Debut: Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (1992)

Mario's greedy rival who is also the CEO of a microgame company.

Everyone Has Standards: Wario might be a crass jerk, but he still lends a hand in reviving the other fighters and doesn't accept Sephiroth's We Can Rule Together proposal. "Gym Rats" has him and Waluigi bust a Toad's illegal drug production, stating that even he won't go that far to make a quick buck.
Friend to All Children: Bafflingly, Wario apparently is good enough with kids to be trusted to look after Baby Little Mac for a day, if the list is anything to go by. This is even after his rude comment to Baby Piranha Plant too. Then again, if one counts having kids as employees for his company — Kat and Ana, Penny, 9-Volt, Lulu — then it makes more sense.
Genre Savvy: A downplayed example while in the Pokémon world. He doesn't fully understand the mechanics behind Pokémon, but living with Pikachu and Pichu for so long means he can recognize another Electric-type when he sees one, such as Electivire.
Jerkass: Too many to count. The only positive thing you can say about Wario is that he didn't betray the heroes when Sephiroth offered his We Can Rule Together speech.
Karma Houdini: In Europe Trip, Wario gropes Lady Dimitrescu and pins the blame on Luigi. Luigi gets both hands sliced off, and Wario gets away scot-free. This is without counting other things he has done, such as making Little Mac end up in hospital or convincing the others to dress Bowser as Bowsette against his will.
Karma Houdini Warranty: Wario attempted to tell Kazuya to let Piranha Plant rot. Needless to say, Kazuya was not amused and gave Wario a comeuppance.
Laser-Guided Karma: There has been a few times where Wario's actions have caught up to him. Such as the time Wario snuck up on Banjo, becoming a victim of Incineroar's prank, or most notably, telling Kazuya to let Piranha Plant rot.

31: Solid Snake

Series: Metal Gear

Debut: Metal Gear (1987)

The Legendary Mercenary of FOXHOUND known for sneaking into many secret bases and enemy HQs.

The Casanova: Not only is he apparently in a relationship with Samus and Ness' mother, but he also gets the attention of Amazon Pandora and Medusa. Downplayed with Madama Butterfly, who just finds him a great conversationalist.
Chekhov's Gunman: He was dumped in the Rewind Springs in a box. This ends up becoming very important during the final battle when Sephiroth demands the secret weapon from Hades — which is also in a box.
Late to the Action: After freeing Rex and his friends from the Mauses that took them hostage, the two of them head to the Smash House to fight off the infestation there. Unfortunately for them, by the time they arrived, the Mauses have already been routed.
Luke, I Am Your Father: The bonus panels reveal he is apparently Ness' father, as he is married to Ness' mother. This is actually a nod at the fact that the Spirit fight for Ness' father in Ultimate is against an invisible Snake.
Mythology Gag: He's apparently married to Ness' mother, which brings to mind the Spirit fight for Ness' Father.

32: Ike

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (2005)

Leader of the Greil Mercenaries and the Radiant Hero of Tellius.

Decomposite Character: His Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn alternates are treated as different characters.
- Though a later Bonus Panel shows that he's able to freely swap between both versions at will.
Gag Penis: According to a nearby Talking Flower that was in his shower room, Ike—or at least, his older incarnation—is very well-endowed down below.
Horse of a Different Color: At one point serves as Pikachu's mount when the electric mouse gets a big head over being at the top of the tier list.

Pokémon Trainer (33-34-35: Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard)

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Red and Green (1996)

A young adventurer who catches and trains Pokémon for battles.

The Alcoholic: Ivysaur has a fondness for alcoholic drinks. His present during Christmas of 2018 is even a bottle of sake.
Suddenly Voiced: Ivysaur has its sole spoken line be a Precision F-Strike in response to seeing Incineroar join the roster.
Ivysaur: Aw summabitch.
Supreme Chef: Squirtle if the cake it and Sephiroth baked for Zelda is any indication.
What Happened to the Mouse?: The last time the male trainer (Red) was seen was in the 2018 Christmas Comic, with only the female trainer (Leaf) being seen from that point onwards.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Implied for Squirtle, as they, along with their comrades and Trainer, were all targeted by Sephiroth in his poisoning scheme, despite baking a cake with him.

36: Diddy Kong

Series: Donkey Kong Country

Debut: Donkey Kong Country (1994)

Donkey's Kong's nephew and adventuring buddy.

Hollywood Tone-Deaf: He's among the fighters Byleth tries to lead in a choir. Considering the cacophony that blows her off her feet, it's clear he can't sing any better than the others.

37: Lucas

Series: Mother

Debut: Mother 3 (2006)

A PK-powered boy from the Nowhere Islands.

Mundane Utility: Like Ness, he uses his PSI abilities to cheat at poker.
The Quiet One: Like Ness, Lucas doesn't really say a word, and had to use a play on words to spell out how to revive him and Ness.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Implied. Both he and Ness were still targeted by Sephiroth's poisoning scheme even though they previously had helped him prank Cloud.

38: Sonic the Hedgehog

Series: Sonic the Hedgehog

Debut: Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)

The cocky blue-furred hedgehog known for his extremely fast speed.

Interspecies Romance: Has a fling with Coco Bandicoot during the Ultimate Battle Royale.
Loophole Abuse: Sonic was revived by having 100 rings for a 1-UP. However, due to everyone believing it would take incredibly long to get the rings, King Dedede simply asked a blacksmith in the Roundtable Hold to make them 100 rings since they were already there. It was never specified what type of rings.
Nice Guy: In the 2022 Christmas Special, he's willing to run to Paldea to pick up Incineroar, Kazuya and Sephiroth for the party but Crash tells him that there's no way he can carry three grown-up adults at once. After using Chell's Portal Gun, he brings them back and he gets a kiss from Isabelle in return.
Super-Speed: Naturally. Comes into play when the Fighters need to revive Captain Falcon, and to recover Incineror's group (and later, Daisy's group) from Paldea in a timely manner using the Portal Gun.
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: In order to get enough points in F-Zero to revive Captain Falcon, Sonic is given TWELVE shots of espresso, equipped with the Bunny Hood, allowed to hold the Monado in Speed Mode, and set up to drive the Blue Falcon Flintstones-style while Kazuya pilots. Needless to say, he maxes out the score meter.
Trademark Favorite Food: Chili dogs, like in canon. He mentions to Arven his love of spicy foods, too.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Using Chell's portal gun to bring Incineroar, Kazuya and Sephiroth back to the house for the 2022 Christmas party is nice and all, but neither he nor anyone else factors in the Mauses that follow the three in not only multiply to the point of being pests to hunt down, but outright taking over the place and leaving most of its inhabitants at their mercy.

39: King Dedede

Series: Kirby

Debut: Kirby's Dream Land (1992)

The self-proclaimed King of Dream Land and Kirby's frenemy.

They Killed Kenny Again: He has died the most times out of any of the Smashers who had died, at a total of four times: He was slashed by King K. Rool, vaporized by Galeem (offscreen), poisoned by Sephiroth, and, along with Zelda and Young Link, was killed by Godrick the Grafted.

40: Olimar

Series: Pikmin

Debut: Pikmin (2001)

A beleaguered space explorer who is an expert when it comes to Pikmin.

A Father to His Men: Clearly Olimar must have been running a No-Death game of Pikmin, because even knocking out one of his Red Pikmin is enough for him to declare war.

41: Lucario

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (2006)

A mysterious Pokémon with an acute sense of and control over Aura.

Mundane Utility: Uses its aura to cheat at Poker.
Pokémon Speak: Averted; Lucario is capable of human speech, just like its counterparts in Smash and in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
Translator Buddy: As a Pokémon capable of speech, he can understand other Pokémon and translate for them.

42: R.O.B.

Series: The Robotic Operating Buddy

Debut: NES Accessory (1985)

The robotic accessory sold with the NES in an attempt to get video games back into the American public's good graces after 1983's Video Game Crash.

Brain Bleach: He along with Mega Man request a full memory wipe from Shulk when they see Simon and Dark Samus sneaking out of the bathroom.
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: All Shulk has to do to revive him is give him an oil change.

43: Toon Link

Series: The Legend of Zelda

Debut: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (2002)

The Hero of the Wind who set across the seas initially to rescue his kidnapped sister.

Missed Him by That Much: "Torture of the Koroks" has him fleeing upon seeing what looks like numerous Korok merchants on torture devices... only to reveal in the last panel that Link and Pikachu were standing behind a wooden panel only about a dozen or so feet away.
One-Man Army: Singlehandedly saves Lurelin Village, armed with whatever he can get his hands on.
Precocious Crush: Has one on Zelda, who is at least seven or eight years older than him, just like the other two Links.
The Worf Effect: Despite having singlehandedly obliterated the pirates terrorizing Lurelin Village, he's left at the mercy of a Gloom Spawn, and would have been done in by Phantom Ganon if Ganondorf hadn't interfered.

44: Wolf O'Donnell

Series: Star Fox

Debut: Star Fox 64 (1997)

Leader of Star Wolf, a mercenary band of pilots who rival Team Star Fox.

Companion Cube: He's really attached to his Wolfen, growing concerned when someone (namely Master Chief, in an effort to revive Banjo & Kazooie) makes off with it.
Not So Above It All: Tries to reason with Ness over the latter being upset about Terry supposedly stealing his catchphrase (Ness' "Okay" for Terry's "Are you okay?"), only to become so upset upon hearing Terry shout "BUSTER WOLF" that he goes straight to Sakurai to complain.

3DS/Wii U Veterans

45: Villager

Series: Animal Crossing

Debut: Doubutsu no Mori (2001)

Mayor of an idyllic village populated by animals.

Bad Boss: After being exiled from the Smash House, he moves in with a group of enemy mooks in Hyrule, where he soon becomes their tyrannical leader.
Enfant Terrible: Initially implied, as, despite being a child (or looking like one), he hangs out with villains such as Bowser and Ganondorf, and ended up in Hell after falling for Sephiroth's poison party. It's then played straight when he seemingly sells the other Smashers to the Mauses, as well as leading hordes of monsters.
Even Evil Has Standards: Zig-Zagged. Villager is described as an evil monster by everyone (which is a nod to his status as a Memetic Psychopath), but he still helps his fellow fighters reviving everyone and does not accept Sephiroth's We Can Rule Together proposal. At the same time however, he appears to willingly join the Mauses when they take over the Smash House and imprison everyone else.
Face–Heel Turn: While Villager was always stated to be an evil psychopath by the other fighters, he was never actually shown doing anything evil and even helped the other fighters in the revival quest. When the Mauses take over the Smash Mansion during the Paldea Misadventures arc however, Villager seemingly joins them and actively helps them keep the other fighters hostage. Following the Paldea fighters and the Cat Army kicking out the Mauses and freeing everyone, Villager is kicked out of the house for seemingly betraying his fellow fighters.
Forced from Their Home: Due to him seemingly betraying his fellow fighters for the Mauses, Villager is banished from the Smash House after the Paldea fighters and the Cat Army deal with the Mauses, and will only be allowed back in when he learns how to behave.
Humanoid Abomination: Probably. Villager is often seen hanging out with the villains of Smash, who are mostly monsters, and a comic describes him as being a monster rather than a human. There's also the fact that he, alongside Bayonetta and the original Isabelle, went to hell after being murdered by Sephiroth.
Laser-Guided Karma: He has his monster army beat up some Hylian warriors, up until Demon King Ganondorf's defeat causes the monsters to vanish. The Hylian warriors retaliate by beating him up.
Les Collaborateurs: When the Mauses take over the Smash House, Villager appears to willingly join them and actively helps them keep the rest of the fighters hostage. Due to this "betrayal", the Smashers kick him out of the house, claiming they will only let him back in when he has learned how to behave.
Offstage Villainy: Despite being described as an evil monster by others, and even being implied to be a Humanoid Abomination, Villager never has done anything that is remarkably despicable at any point during the series, nor does he engage in any of the psychopathic deeds the other fighters claim he engages in. Heck, he even helps the other fighters in reviving the rest of the cast. This is subverted during the the Paldea Misadventures arc where he appears to join the Mauses and help them hold the rest of the Smashers in the house prisoner. This causes him to get the boot from the Smash House once the Maus problem is dealt with.
Perpetual Smiler: He is always seen smiling regardless of the situation. Very rarely does he change his facial expression.
The Quiet One: Villager is never seen speaking.
Rescued from the Underworld: Along with Bayonetta and Isabelle, Villager went to Hell after being murdered by Sephiroth. In order to escape, Isabelle calls upon her friend Doomguy, who busts the three of them out of Hell.
Shoot the Messenger: After taking over as the iron-fisted leader of a tribe of Hylian mooks, Villager does this to a Bokoblin messenger that delivers the news of their dispatched group's defeat at Lurelin Village.

46: Mega Man

Series: Mega Man (Classic)

Debut: Mega Man (1987)

The super fighting robot engineered by Dr. Light to combat Dr. Wily's cavalcade of hostile Robot Masters.

Accidental Hero: Mega Man’s attempt to shoot an apple off of Sora's head leads to his Mega Buster shot ricocheting off of everything and hitting Pac-Man's corpse, revealing that it counts as a Pac-Man pellet. This leads to everyone asking him to shoot Pac-Man over and over until he comes back to life. To this day, he and Pac-Man don't understand what he did so right to deserve their admiration.
They Killed Kenny Again: Mega Man has died multiple times over the course of the comic. He was impaled by Ridley (twice, though the first time was in a comic as part of Wooden Plank Studios proper before Everyone Is Home was established), then got vaporized offscreen by Galeem, and is then poisoned by Sephiroth along with the majority of the other Fighters.

47: Wii Fit Trainer

Series: Wii Fit

Debut: Wii Fit (2007)

Nintendo's resident porcelain-skinned fitness trainer.

The Power of the Sun: She's revived when her fellow Acolytes of the Supreme Sun perform a Sun Salutation.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Wii Fit Trainer at first was disturbed at the sight of Benny and Elise being a couple, but when she heard that Camilla and Corrin, adoptive siblings, were married, she and her group left Nohr immediately and were emotionally drained.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Only the female Wii Fit Trainer is revived, with the male trainer not appearing or being mentioned anywhere other than in the 2018 Christmas Comic.

48: Rosalina

Series: Super Mario Bros.

Debut: Super Mario Galaxy (2007)

Guardian of the cosmos and mother-figure to many, many Lumas aboard her Comet Observatory.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Rosalina seems to have a crush on Sans, or at the very least thinks he is dreamy.
Rosalina: He's so cool...
Mama Bear: If the list of taking care of baby Little Mac is anything believe, Rosalina makes for a good parental figure. It's not that surprising however, given that she's a mother figure to the Lumas and has been taking care of them for centuries.
Demoted to Extra: The Lumas that accompany Rosalina are notably not as prominent as she is.
Ms. Fanservice: Not as prominent as Peach or Daisy, but her Hyrule outfit shows off her legs and her space jumpsuit is form-fitting. And prior to the revival arc, she's shown to run a gamer girl stream where she dresses up as a Sexy Cat Person.
Mundane Utility: In the 2022 Christmas Special, a Luma is used as a star to top a Christmas tree.
Rapid Hair Growth: Incineroar shaved off her hair as part of his prank on the Mario cast before reviving all of them. In turn they all shaved off part of his fur, with Rosalina using it to make a wig. Her hair fully grows back with no explanation a few comics later however.
Stealing the Credit: Some time after Daisy and Peach end their Pokémon fur lingerie business, Rosalina steals their idea and starts her own business, only that she makes complete Pokémon fur outfits instead of just bikinis and underwear and that she uses Teddiursa fur, which is more easily accesible than the Incineroar, Litten and Sabrecat fur Peach and Daisy used.
You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Has this reaction when she and Richter find out too late that Link's recovery method requires 100 years to work.

49: Little Mac

Series: Punch-Out!!

Debut: Punch-Out!! (1983)

The young WVBA boxer from the Bronx who proves that size doesn't always matter.

51-52-53: Mii Brawler, Mii Swordfighter, and Mii Gunner

Series: Mii

Debut: Mii Channel (2006)

Blank-slate Avatars that are tailor-made to fulfill many roles; in this case, fighters as part of Smash's roster.

Adrenaline Makeover: Comparing the Mii fighters to normal Miis as seen in the Mii Channel makes it clear they are far more buff than normal Miis, likely as a result of becoming Smash fighters.
Butt-Monkey: Nobody likes Mii Gunner unless she's wearing her Sans costume (as they believe that she is actually Sans). She wasn't even revived with Mii Brawler and Swordfighter due to Incineroar and Ryu genuinely mistaking her for the real Sans. This gets phased out afterward, though the other Smash fighters do sometimes relapse.
Loophole Abuse: The Bifrost Staff can only be used by a servant class character. Luckily Mii Gunner can bypass that by dressing like a maid.
Wholesome Crossdresser: All three of them have clear gender identities (Brawler and Swordfighter are male while Gunner is female) yet they frequently make use of the various costumes to dress as the opposite gender. It's largely harmless, save for the odd prank.

54: Palutena

Series: Kid Icarus

Debut: Kid Icarus (1986)

The Goddess of Light and ruler of Skyworld.

The Ageless: She's an immortal goddess to the point that being put in the Rewind Spring for too long has no effect for her, unlike with Little Mac, who was de-aged into a toddler and Doc Louis became twenty years younger.
Hot God: She even does a pole dance during a taunt competition just to show off her gorgeous figure.

28ε: Dark Pit

Series: Kid Icarus

Debut: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)

A self-serving clone of Pit created from the Mirror of Truth.

Curiosity Killed the Cast: Ultimately the reason Sora inadvertently unseals Tabuu is because Dark Pit wants to know what's inside the sealed box in the basement.
Dark Is Not Evil: His name is Dark Pit and he wears black, but he's not a villain and he fights alongside the other Smashers against Sephiroth.
Emo Teen: Acts as one.
Locked Out of the Loop: He doesn't know who Tabuu is, as he didn't exist yet in Brawl (not counting Pit's fallen angel alt).
Marshmallow Hell: Gets subjected to this by Dark Samus when she drags him into a family photo with her and Simon.
Oh, Crap!: Has this reaction when Tabuu is awakened.
Real Men Take It Black: When he realizes he was revived with a pink drink, he pretends to be dead until he is fed a black drink. In order to achieve this, Fox flies over to The Roost and taints the Drink of the Gods black with Brewster's coffee, even having to turn down Brewster's offer to add milk to it.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He brings Young Link and Sora to the Smash Mansion's basement because he wanted Sora to open a locked crate which, unknown to them, contains Tabuu.

Debut: Pac-Man (1980)

The famous pellet-muncher and ghost-gobbler himself.

The Quiet One: Never speaks at all.

21ε: Lucina

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem: Awakening (2012)

Chrom's daughter who traveled back in time from a doomed future.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: She's disheartened by the fact that Chrom was revived before her and yet wasn't there to see her revived, thinking their relationship has soured. She's proven wrong when she returns to the Smash house to find Chrom was actually busy preparing a welcome home party for her, bringing her to Tears of Joy.
Easily Embarrassed Youngster: Granted she's a grown woman, but she still gets annoyed by her father's antics quite frequently, especially when it comes to his constant flirting.
Missing Mom: Less actually missing and more just never on-screen, so we don't learn who Lucina's mother is beyond "it's not Robin since he's obviously a guy" (Female Robin could count, but she hasn't been seen since Christmas of 2018). There's also the fact that her father flirts with tons of women (and men too later on) despite already being married.
Non-Player Character: Pretends to be one for Internet clout.
Official Couple: With Jin Kazama, much to Xiaoyu's ire. Jin also dislikes that Lucina is coworkers with his father, but loves her in spite of that.

56: Robin

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem: Awakening (2012)

The trusted Ylissean tactician and bearer of the mark of Grima.

The Power of Friendship: Invoked by Chrom to revive Robin, having many Smash fighters and other allies surrounding Robin's body in a grass field, reenacting how it brought him back when he sacrificed himself to defeat Grima. The minute Incineroar and Kazuya bring Lissa into the friend circle (by force), Robin revives, yelling "Friendship!".
What Happened to the Mouse?: Female Robin doesn't make any appearances outside the 2018 Christmas Comic, with only Male Robin being revived in the revival arc.

57: Shulk

Series: Xenoblade Chronicles

Debut: Xenoblade Chronicles (2010)

A mechanic from Colony 9 on Bionis, he is the chosen wielder of the Monado.

Character Catchphrase: "I'm really feeling it!"
Combat Clairvoyance: His future vision saved him and his group trouble by seeing that their attempt in using the Rewind Spring a second time was doomed to fail since Hades was going to stop them.
Fanboy: Of Stephen King's IT, to nigh-obsession levels. As he himself puts it, he's really feeling IT.
The Engineer: Shulk has always been known as this in his home world, but his skills have undeniably been useful in helping revive most fighters, from fixing up R.O.B, to his clever way of reviving the Inklings.
Mundane Utility: Uses the Monado's power to cheat at poker. However, a later comic has the Monado confiscated so he doesn't try that again.
Paper-Thin Disguise: In a bid to use the Rewind Springs to revive Snake, he dresses up in his Pit Crew outfit back when he helped revive Captain Falcon and disguises himself as a Spring cleaning crew, claiming that the box with Snake in it are filled with products to clean the spring instead.
Walking Shirtless Scene: In the cafeteria, Shulk sits at the "Exhibitionists" table wearing nothing but his swimming trunks.

58: Bowser Jr.

Series: Super Mario Bros.

Debut: Super Mario Sunshine (2002)

Bowser's son who often assists his father in his schemes.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Other than Wendy, there's no mention of whatever became of the other Koopalings, even though other strips show both Olimar and Alph and the female and male Inklings.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Implied, as although Bowser Jr. helped Sephiroth deliver his fake invitations letters to potential fighters, he was still targeted by Sephiroth poisoning scheme.

59: Duck Hunt (Duo)

Series: Duck Hunt

Debut: Duck Hunt (1984)

The unlikely partnership of a hunting dog and a wayward duck.

Closest Thing We Got: Luigi has the duo revived after running into Malanya in Hyrule, who asks Luigi if he has any horses that need to be revived. Luigi answers by showing Malanya a picture of the duo, with the latter hesitating for a bit before reviving them after Luigi gives him Puppy-Dog Eyes.
- Happens again when Luigi and Daisy's group is stranded in Paldea, where Luigi has the dog serve as their Pokémon. Needless to say, this time it doesn't work out.
Five-Second Foreshadowing: A Funny Background Event has Duck Hunt duck borrow Samus' Arm Cannon while she's reviving Dark Samus and using it to blast one of the creatures on ZDR. This later leads into him using that same Arm Cannon to perform some amazing aerial maneuvers to get the points necessary to obtain Star Fox 1-Ups.
Jealous Pet: It's brief, but the Duck Hunt dog seems to initially hold some animosity towards Luigi's new Rockruff. By the time the group completes Larry's Gym Challenge, he's gotten over it and the two dogs are now friends.
Took a Level in Badass: After growing frustrated by Samus and Master Chief's bickering on who is the better pilot, the Duck takes it upon itself to take Samus' arm cannon and shoots down enough targets while flying, with said targets all shooting back mind you, to get enough points to get 1-UPs for Fox, Falco and Wolf, embarrassing Samus and Chief in the process.

60: Ryu

Series: Street Fighter

Debut: Street Fighter (1987)

A wandering martial artist who never stops looking for his next challenge.

Took a Level in Cheerfulness: Whereas in the games Ryu is usually The Stoic, in this alternate continuity he's significantly more expressive and smiles much more often. Doesn't make him any less of a badass though.

61: Cloud Strife

Series: Final Fantasy

Debut: Final Fantasy VII (1997)

A former SOLDIER 1st Class with a very complicated past, he has since joined AVALANCHE in fighting against his former employer.

Actually Pretty Funny: He’s literally amused at Sephiroth who was in the hospital after he got his wing stuffed in his butt in the shape of a dickbutt courtesy of Doom Guy.
Badass Cape: He wears a fluffy cape as part of his Phantom Thief attire.
Brick Joke: His last words before succumbing to the poison were "You son of a-", and his first one upon reviving was "bitch!"
The Cassandra: Cloud was the only one who believed that Sephiroth was only pretending to be nice, but everyone else dismissed his as paranoid. Predictably, when Cloud is revived (and being the last one even) he spends his entire welcoming-back party chewing out the other fighters for trusting Sephiroth and ignoring his warnings. Needless to say, it's implied that it's why they revived him last.
Ignored Expert: Everyone ignored the guy who fights Sephiroth on a daily basis that assumed that Sephiroth's good guy act was just that, an act. His "I told you" rant is well deserved.
In-Universe Catharsis: He gets to punch Sephiroth in the face for all he had done in "Last Plane Home". He also is the one to unleash the All-Out Attack on Shadow Sephiroth for good measure.
I Warned You: Spent his entire welcome back party telling everyone he warned them about Sephiroth, especially since he was the last fighter to be resurrected. It's implied it's why the Smashers saved him for last because they knew full well he was going to pull that.
Jerkass to One: He is friendly, or at least civil to most of the Smashers, but he still has beef with Sephiroth, even after the latter's Heel–Face Turn.
Loophole Abuse: The only way to revive Cloud was dubious at best. They need to find a big enough phoenix feather to use, and even then it wasn't a guarantee since it's never happened before. Barret sees that Kazooie happens to be with the group at the time and plucks a feather from her and tries. Surprisingly enough, it works.
Properly Paranoid: He was the only fighter to suspect that Sephiroth was faking his good guy shtick, but everyone dismissed his concerns and ignored his warnings. He was right when Sephiroth poisoned everyone and rubbed it in Cloud's face for taking so long to trust him. Naturally, he's not happy that no one believed him, especially when he was the last one to be revived.
Cloud: (to every single fighter in rapid succession, who don't even react) I told you.

62: Corrin

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem Fates (2015)

A half-dragon Royal caught between Hoshido and Nohr.

Not Blood Siblings: His wife is his adoptive sister Camilla, much to the disgust of the other fighters.
Official Couple: Married to Camilla, something the other Fighters find very disturbing.
Take That!: A bonus panel has him being an item at a yard sale, as one of the "useless stuff the Smashers don't know why they even go in the first place".
What Happened to the Mouse?: Female Corrin doesn't make any appearances outside the 2018 Christmas Comic, with only Male Corrin being revived in the revival arc.

63: Bayonetta

Series: Bayonetta

Debut: Bayonetta (2009)

The gun-toting, demon-summoning, and wise-cracking Umbra Witch.

Berserk Button: Don't even think about touching her lollipops. One Maushold found this out the hard way.
Heartbreak and Ice Cream: Indulges in this following her break-up with Simon.
Ms. Fanservice: Obviously is this in general, but during the 2022 Christmas special she dresses in a sexy Santa outfit alongside Dark Samus.
Mundane Utility: During the comic she uses her contract with Madama Butterfly to carry some of the deceased fighters and snag snacks. Given Madama Butterfly is just as much Bayonetta's friend as she is her handler, she doesn't seem to mind.
Not What It Looks Like: Steve respawns beside the last bed he slept in after dying, in this case being Bayonetta's. Simon calls out Bayonetta for cheating on him, leading him to dump her for Dark Samus later on, while she tries to explain that it's all a misunderstanding. It turns out Bayonetta was telling the truth however, as later bonus panels reveal that Sephiroth placed Steve on Bayonetta's bed while she was asleep to sow discord amongst her and Simon.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Breaking up with Simon hits Bayo so hard she actually starts dressing conservatively.
Operation: Jealousy: After Simon dumps her for Dark Samus, she decides to call up Scorpion to get information on how to revive Ryu, Ken and Terry. Not only is she successful in reviving three smashers at once, but she also gets her own personal harem to get back at Simon.
Terry: (as he, Ryu and Ken carry her into Smash House) Make way! Make way for the beautiful Queen of Fighters!
Rescued from the Underworld: Along with Villager and Isabelle, Bayonetta went to Hell after being murdered by Sephiroth. In order to escape, Isabelle calls upon her friend Doomguy, who busts the three of them out of Hell.
She's Back: Seeing Simon dating Dark Samus gets Bayonetta to decide that she has had enough of being depressed, call up Scorpion for advice on reviving the Smash fighters from actual fighting games, and get back to being the sexy witch she normally is.
What Did I Do Last Night?: The bonus panels show that, following her winning her drinking contest with the Aegis after they had to be hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning, Bayonetta woke up on Simon's bed wearing nothing but her bra, having had a one night stand with the slayer of Dracula while she was drunk. The two then began a relationship afterwards.

Ultimate Newcomers

64: Inklings

Series: Splatoon

Debut: Splatoon (2015)

Squid kids who occupy their time by taking part in ink-flinging turf wars.

Came Back Wrong: Due to the gang using too much power on their homemade respawn point, they were revived looking like Handsome Squidward. Thankfully a wish from NOVA fixed them.
Kill It with Water: Implied (as in their games, they dissolve in water), as the male Inkling is shown carrying an umbrella while showering.
The Unintelligible: They speak their own Inkling-based language.

13ε: Princess Daisy

Series: Super Mario Bros.

Debut: Super Mario Land (1989)

The tomboyish Princess of Sarasaland and Peach's best friend.

Fur Bikini: She and Peach make these with the fur they got from Incineroar in Revenge for his prank on them and the other Mario fighters. The two princesses end up expanding upon the idea and start a business, making bikinis and women's underwear and earning a lot of money.
Heel Realization: Along with Peach, Daisy comes to realize that their fur lingerie business wasn't the most ethical of lucrative outlets (in addition of the lack of models to try on said lingerie), so they close up business. Rosalina then takes advantage of this and steals their idea.
Ms. Fanservice: Along with Peach after the two use Incineroar's fur to make Fur Bikinis, which they proudly show off quite a lot, and while they do revert to their regular dresses a few comics later, in turn they start a lingerie business that becomes very successful among other female videogame characters. During the Paldea Misadventures arc, she has another Walking Swimsuit Scene after her group is left stranded in Paldea due to the Mauses redirecting the Portal Gun.
The Mole: Acted as one for Sakurai when Piranha Plant first joined and tried to take over the Smash Mansion. She managed to infiltrate its meeting (which only had Ivysaur and some Pikmin in the first place) thanks to her name being that of a flower.
Official Couple: Carried over from the games, Daisy and Luigi are implied to be dating.
The Smurfette Principle: In the Paldea Misadventures arc, among the nine characters adventuring in Paldea, she is the only one that is female.
Those Two Girls: Daisy is usually seen hanging out with Peach most of the time. In the Revival arc however, Peach shows up on her own much more often. This is reversed in the Paldea Misadventures arc, where Daisy instead gets more focus while she is stuck in Paldea whereas Peach is held hostage by the Mauses at the Smash House.
Walking Swimsuit Scene: Daisy spends part of the Paldea Misadventures arc in a bikini as a result of the Mauses using the Portal Gun and closing the Portal from the Smash House to Paldea, stranding her and Luigi's group in the region and without any spare clothing for Daisy. She eventually finds a Naranja school uniform to change to.

65: Ridley

Series: Metroid

Debut: Metroid (1986)

A vicious, high-ranking member of the Space Pirates with a personal connection to Samus' past.

Adaptational Nice Guy: While still a bit of a grump, he isn't as murderous as he is in canon, and wanted Peach and Daisy to focus more on reviving the others (in this case Ness and Lucas), than their business. He also talked Waluigi out of committing suicide over not being able to join the Smash roster.
Everyone Has Standards: Building off the above, even he - a bloodthirsty space dragon with quite the canonical rap sheet - is baffled by Eagleland's (read, America) "healthcare" system, represented in this case by the absurd $6000 price tag for reviving Ness and Lucas.
Genius Bruiser: He's a powerful dragon and incredibly intelligent to boot. It only takes him seconds to figure out the rebus Ness and Lucas's ghosts show him about how to revive them.
Half-Human Hybrid: Or half space dragon hybrid in this case. He's apparently part Pikmin after his resurrection due to being planted in the ground by them, emulating the bad ending of Pikmin 1.
Joker Immunity: As stated by Samus, Ridley will always find a way to come back to life no matter how many times he is killed. She actually exploits this to revive Ridley by planting him in the ground to emulate the bad ending of Pikmin 1, to which Falco is sceptical of. As it turns out, Samus was right and Ridley is revived.
Small Role, Big Impact: His words to Waluigi pay off in a big way in the "Sephiroth Brings Despair" Arc since Waluigi is willing to help Incineroar and Kazuya revive the Mario cast and would later aid in helping in Robin's resurrection and in Byleth's army.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Gave one of these speeches to Waluigi. He tells Waluigi that he was once in his place, being famous on the internet for not being able to get into Smash, but only become one more fighter when he did join the roster. He tells Waluigi to enjoy his chance on the internet spotlight while he still can instead of regretting it, since he will miss it if he does join Smash one day.

66: Simon Belmont

Series: Castlevania

Debut: Castlevania (1986)

A member of the Belmont clan and the legendary vampire slayer who has defeated Dracula on at least two separate occasions.

Berserk Button: He's not the sort to rush to violence unless it involves a creature of evil (such as Dracula's minions). But if you ruin even one of his precious bibles he will remind you why the Belmont clan is so feared.
Character Development: Originally he, alongside Richter, often tried to kill Bayonetta because of her status as a witch. The two of them then had a one-night stand, causing Simon to soften up to her, and started a relationship.
Has a Type: He seems to have a thing for Dark Action Girls if his relationships with Bayonetta and Dark Samus are any indication.
Interspecies Romance: Simon starts a relationship with Dark Samus after breaking up with Bayonetta. He is a human and she, in Samus' words, is "Half Metroid Prime, Half Phazon, and Half Power Suit".
Not So Above It All: For an enemy of evil, he seems very interested in Bayonetta. Granted, originally he and Richter did try to kill her for being a witch. As revealed by the bonus panels, Simon softened up on her after the two had a one-night stand.
Official Couple: Briefly with Bayonetta, before moving onto Dark Samus. The girls later decide to share him.

66ε: Richter Belmont

Series: Castlevania

Debut: Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (1993)

A member of the Belmont Clan and a descendant of Simon.

Friend to All Children: If the list to take care of baby Little Mac is to be believed, Richter is good enough with kids to be trusted to look after the infant for a day. This makes sense as he himself rescued and went on adventures with Maria Renard, who was twelve years old during their first encounter.
You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: He and Rosalina have this reaction because Kass failed to mention that it would take 100 years to revive Link back to normal.

25ε: Chrom

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem: Awakening (2012)

The Exalt of Ylisse, and a distant descendant of Marth.

Adaptational Sexuality: Chrom is bisexual in this AU, as shown by how often he tries to flirt with both women and men.
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Lucina finds Chrom's constant flirting with both women and men (even though he is a married man) to be completely embarrassing.
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Chrom might constantly embarrass Lucina with his endless attempts at flirting with just about anyone, but that does not mean he doesn't cherish his daughter more than anything, as seen by the welcoming back party he prepared for her after she was revived.
Casanova Wannabe: Chrom, alongside other male fighters, tried to catch the attention of Pyra and Mythra when they first joined Smash. The bonus panels also have him trying to flirt with other members of Byleth's Cavalry. All of this despite the fact that he is already married and has (at least) a daughter.
Distracted by the Sexy: By far the most notable example among the Smashers. A bonus panel has Chrom get distracted by Samus' butt during a Mario Kart race, and later on he was shown lusting after Pyra and Mythra when they first joined the roster. Then during the final battle against Sephiroth and his Legion of Doom, Chrom is shown handing out his number to various members of Byleth's Cavalry, both female and male, and even spends Christmas of 2022 with a buff lady NPC from Paldea. Keep in mind that Chrom is already married.
Hollywood Mid-Life Crisis: It's implied in the bonus panels by Lucina that the reason Chrom flirts with so many women (and men later on) despite already being married is because he is going through one of these.
The Mistress: Even though he is already married, Chrom is constantly looking for a girl to seduce as seen by his constant flirting. He isn't opposed to the idea of a male partner either.
Really Gets Around: Despite being married, Chrom will flirt with just about anyone, much to Lucina's embarrassment.
Skewed Priorities: During the big battle against Sephiroth and his army, he opts not to fight but rather to give out his phone number to as many people as possible.

4ε: Dark Samus

Series: Metroid

Debut: Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (2005)

An evil clone of Samus born from a merger of Samus' Phazon Suit, the Metroid Prime, and Samus' own DNA.

Adaptational Attractiveness: In Metroid canon, as Sora puts it, she's "a super gnarly and disturbing alien skeleton" underneath the suit. Here, she's a grey-skinned Samus lookalike with black hair with cyan streaks. It should also be noted that following her revival, Dark Samus exclusively shows up without her suit.
Adaptational Nice Guy: Dark Samus is part of the Smash Villains club and is known to corrupt people—and even entire planets—with Phazon, but she is much nicer and polite (and... umm, sexy) than her videogame counterpart, even starting a relationship with Simon after he breaks up with Bayonetta. Like the other villains, she also doesn't turn against the other Smashers when Sephiroth makes a We Can Rule Together proposal.
Beautiful Singing Voice: If her inclusion in Byleth's (successful) choir is any indication.
Clingy Jealous Girl: Punches out Commander Shepard for flirting with Simon right in front of her. Granted, he had previously flirted with her and then said that she had bored him.
Extreme Omnivore: Played for Laughs, and likely justified given she's actually a Metroid in human form, but on her first date with Simon she gets so nervous she bites into her wine glass.
Green-Skinned Space Babe: More grey than green, but the idea still stands.
Interspecies Romance: With Simon, as he is a human and she is a hybrid of a Metroid Prime (a Metroid that mutated after being exposed to large amounts of Phazon) and Samus' DNA.
I Just Want to Be Normal: Seeing Samus act like a mother figure for Pit and Sora makes Dark Samus want the same thing (evolving into a Metroid Prime instead of a Queen Metroid barred her from that before becoming a clone of Samus). When she spots Dark Pit, she gets her wish, whether Dark Pit wants it or not...
Ms. Fanservice: Played for laughs. You'd expect Dark Samus to be what she is in the games underneath her suit: a monstrous abomination. Turns out she is actually a grey-skinned version of Samus who is just as attractive as her.
Samus: The Internet can never know about this.
Too Many Halves: According to Samus, Dark Samus is half Metroid Prime, Half Phazon, and Half Power Suit. Sora takes a moment to note how those halves don't add up.
The Quiet One: Never speaks when she's out of her suit. Even early strips just have her dialogue be "alien parasite noises".

67: King K. Rool

Series: Donkey Kong Country

Debut: Donkey Kong Country (1994)

The King of the Kremlings who has antagonized the Kongs on multiple occasions.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Moreso than the other villains early on, as K. Rool was portrayed as a polite gentleman despite being part of the Smash Villains Club, even wearing a monacle to go along with it. By the time of the Revival Arc, he's lost both his gentlemanly demeanor and the monacle and has become more in-line with his canon self.
Good Is Not Nice: He gives Spring Man a hard time during his interrogation for info on reviving Min Min. When questioned by Leaf, he says he doesn't agree with Isabelle and everyone else's "goody two-shoes" methods of reviving everyone, and his method is fun. Granted, Spring Man was already being unfairly rude to an already dead Min Min, so K. Rool tricking him with a fake invitation letter was warranted.
Loophole Abuse: Somehow the Blood Moon is able to revive him due to looking like a "fat Lizalfos", which is honestly stretching it since Lizalfos in Breath of the Wild resemble chameleons while K. Rool resembles a crocodile.
Manipulative Bastard: He sees that Spring Man was overly bitter about Min Min being chosen to be a fighter instead of him, and uses that to his advantage by taunting him with a fake invite.
What the Hell, Hero?: Isabelle 1 gives him this treatment after learning of K. Rool's method in bringing Min-Min back. K. Rool doesn't really mind as it worked out in the end flawlessly and that he got to try out Sephiroth's prank on someone, especially one deserving.

68: Isabelle

Series: Animal Crossing

Debut: Animal Crossing: New Leaf (2012)

The loyal secretary of the Animal village mayor.

Aroused by Their Voice: She finds Knuckles' voice "so damn sexy".
Cute But Psycho: Implied, seeing as she went to hell after Sephiroth killed her. There's also her telling Doomguy about Sephiroth being responsible for the prank invitation letter he received, and knocking out and kidnapping one of Lady Dimitrescu's daughters too.
Heroic BSoD: In the 2022 Christmas Special Pt 2, she enters one when she forgot to figure out how to get Incineroar, Kazuya and Sephiroth from Paldea to Smash House for Christmas. Thankfully, Sonic was able to find a solution for her.
Karmic Death: Implied via Killed Offscreen. After she called Doom Guy on Sephiroth, she got a taste of her own medicine thanks to Sephiroth who poisoned her. Fortunately, she gets better.
Odd Friendship: She is very good friends with Doomguy, which comes in handy at various points in the story (such as Isabelle telling Doomguy that Sephiroth was the one who sent him a fake invitation letter as a prank, or Doomguy busting Isabelle, Bayonetta and Villager out of Hell after Sephiroth kills them).
Precision F-Strike: Her reaction to Mario's makeover following his short-lived Hollywood Mid-Life Crisis is a blunt "What the fuck". Averted in the GabaLeth dub, where she says "What the hell" instead.
Rescued from the Underworld: Along with Bayonetta and Villager, Isabelle went to Hell after being murdered by Sephiroth. In order to escape, she calls upon her friend Doomguy, who busts the three of them out of Hell.
Riddle for the Ages: Why did Isabelle, of all people, end up in Hell after dying? When Samus asks her about this (though she understands why Villager and Bayonetta went there), Isabelle simply winks at her.
Super-Strength: In the 2022 Christmas Special, she goes off to find Thor to play as Santa Claus and blocks an attack from Mjolnir before dragging Mjolnir and Thor away.
Workaholic: Her main thing. As noted by Incineroar, only Isabelle and her many clones have the patience and motivation necessary to be working all the time, which comes in handy when it comes to looking up videogame lore to help revive the other fighters.

60ε: Ken Masters

Series: Street Fighter

Debut: Street Fighter (1987)

Ryu's friendly rival and a dedicated family man.

Happily Married: Despite his attraction to Bayonetta, he's still devoted to his wife. This is evidenced during the ill-fated camping trip used to bring Hero back; Ken has a picture of both Eliza Masters and Bayonetta. If you look carefully, you'll see Eliza's picture slightly overlaps Bayonetta's, showing she's still first in Ken's heart over the Umbra Witch.

69: Incineroar

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Sun and Moon (2016)

The wrestling Heel tiger Pokémon, and the final form of Litten, the Fire Starter of the Alola Region.

Anthropomorphic Shift: In the original series, Incineroar is just a normal Pokémon. In this comic, Incineroar is first shown to be able to speak a human language like Lucario and Mewtwo instead of being limited Pokémon Speak for reasons unexplained, but still had some behaviours typical of cats. Once the reviving arc starts however, Incineroar noticeably starts acting more human-like and even becomes a Pokémon trainer.
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: He is able to Gigantamax against Team Star's Mechavroom, despite the fact that Incineroar as a species does not have a Gigantamax form in the actual games.
Easily Forgiven: After Incineroar gets defeated by Team Star and gives back everything he took from its members, he is shown to be on good terms with them.
Everyone Has Standards: He along with the other Fighters at the scene were horrified at the sight of Kirby's gruesome attempt at reviving King Dedede using the severed head of a Mushroom Kingdom penguin.
Expy: Of Team Rocket's Meowth from the Pokémon anime. Both are cat Pokémon who possess many human behaviors, including the ability to talk like humans. And just like Meowth, Incineroar can translate for other Pokémon as well.
Furry Confusion: During the Paldea arc, Incineroar becomes a Pokémon trainer alongside Kazuya, Sephiroth and the rest. It comes to a head when Kazuya's Floragato evolves into a Meowscarada, leading Incineroar to get a crush.
"is it morally acceptable to have feelings for your friend's pokemon"
Heel: It's literally his classification in the Pokédex, and fittingly, he does a lot of dickish things over the course of the comic, such as rubbing in the fact that he and Ken are being added to the roster over the favorites of the ill-fated "Grinch leak" (Banjo & Kazooie did eventually join, however); shaving and putting the Mario Fighters in various compromising positions right before reviving them; and dropkicking a young boy so he can steal the Miraidon the kid was riding which got him in the crosshairs of Team Star.
In-Series Nickname: Kazuya calls him "Muscular Cat". Becomes an Affectionate Nickname of sorts as the months go on.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite the questionable things he does throughout the comic, he's still a good person deep down, taking charge alongside Kazuya in reviving the Smash Fighters after they were poisoned by Sephiroth, to the point that at the end he was even commemorated by the Smash House for his efforts.
Laser-Guided Karma: After spending much of his trip in Paldea cheating Trainers out of their money and even stealing Pokémon, Team Star's Mechavroom finally makes him pay for his misdeeds.
Life Saving Misfortune: He was shot in the knee and locked in the basement by Kirby under Sakurai's orders for almost spoiling Kazuya and Sora's arrivals. As a result, he wasn't poisoned by Sephiroth.
Odd Friendship: He gains one with Kazuya throughout the arc to revive everyone back.
Playing with Fire: He's the final form of the Alolan fire-starter Pokémon. This proves to be very beneficial for Incineroar as he was was able to fish out everyone's corpses from the pool of lava Kazuya threw them into.
Riddle for the Ages: Why can Incineroar speak English like Mewtwo and Lucario despite not having any sort of special abilities like they do? The comic never provides an answer to this.
Spanner in the Works: By being imprisoned in the basement by Kirby, he's exempt from Sephiroth's poisoning plot and immediately starts working on a plot with Kazuya to revive everyone. He also was able to save everyone from Kazuya throwing them into a volcano.
Suddenly Speaking: Incineroar can only communicate via Pokémon Speak in the actual games, but in this comic he is fully capable of speaking a human language with no explanation as to why he can talk, but the other Pokémon, barring Mewtwo and Lucario, can't.
Translator Buddy: Being a Pokémon himself—albeit who has gone through Anthropomorphic Shift—he can naturally understand what other Pokémon are saying, which comes in handy when he needs to translate to his non-Pokémon companions what they're saying.
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Incineroars normally aren't able to speak a human language, behave like humans, or train other Pokémon for that matter, yet this Incineroar is capable of all of that and nobody finds it strange. Lampshaded when Pyra comments on Morgana's ability to talk, but not Incineroar's.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: His petty prank earns him some fur shaved off, which gives Peach and Daisy the idea to start a fur lingerie business that, as later bonus panels reveal, are made via pretty damn unethical means.
Worth It: Incineroar decides to pull a prank on the Mario cast before reviving them, putting them in a series of compromising and embarrassing positions. In turn, all of them partially shave off part of Incineroar's fur in Revenge, but Incineroar says it was worth it.
Would Hurt a Child: Early in his Paldean vacation, he dropkicks a young boy and then steals the Miraidon that said boy was riding on.

70: Piranha Plant

Series: Super Mario Bros.

Debut: Super Mario Bros. (1985)

A carnivorous plant that typically resides in pipes to impede Mario's journey.

Over the course of Everyone Is Home, there have been two incarnations of the Piranha Plant: the first one that initially joins Smash; and its offspring who sprouts from one of the seeds left in its corpse and imprints on Kazuya after the latter nurtures its growth.

Tropes for the first Piranha Plant:

Killed Off for Real: 1-UP Mushrooms had no effect on it, and it is instead replaced by a seed it's rotten body had left behind, which grows into a new Piranha Plant.
Ungrateful Bastard: Despite being thankful for the opportunity to join Smash, it still had plans to overthrow Sakurai due to the lack of plant-based Fighters in the roster.
The Usurper: It had plans to overthrow Sakurai and establish plants as Smash's ruling class. However, Daisy foils the scheme it had at the time, and any new plans it had died with it when Sephiroth poisoned it.

Tropes for the second Piranha Plant:

Bring Help Back: Fox and Mythra task Piranha Plant with informing Kazuya and the others in Paldea of the Maus situation back home, even loaning the Plant Fox's Arwing to speed up the process.
Big Damn Heroes: Plant finally arrives in Paldea by shooting down an Iron Jugulis that was about to make a meal out of the Duck Hunt duck.
Casanova Wannabe: At one point, it catcalls and flirts with Krystal and Miranda Lawson.
Morality Pet: Serves as this for Kazuya.
Put on a Bus: Kazuya eventually lets it go to live among others of its kind in the Flower Kingdom.
Replacement Goldfish: Since the previous one couldn't be revived by 1-UP Mushrooms, Kazuya had to grow a new one himself.

71: Ren Amamiya — Codename: "Joker"

Series: Persona

Debut: Persona 5 (2016)

Leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, a young man who was framed for a crime and sent to live in Tokyo on probation.

Genre Savvy: Once Joker hears the full story of how Sephiroth killed everyone, he realizes this is just like the villains from his home game and declares that he needs a change of Heart. He also easily figures out that Sephiroth's Palace takes the form of a museum due to seeing his evil deeds as an artform.
Loophole Abuse: Despite Joker not being a Pokemon, the Focus Band still works on him since he comes from an RPG with a Hit Point system.
Only Known By His Nickname: Unlike his teammates, he's called by his codename "Joker" rather than his true name, Ren.
Only Mostly Dead: Byleth stealthily placed Pichu's focus band on him before he consumed Sephiroth's poisonous champagne, as she knew his abilities would come in-handy later on. As a result he was able to survive with 1 HP left, but was still knocked unconscious by the poison.

72: The Hero (The Luminary, Erdrick, Solo, Eight)

Series: Dragon Quest

Debut: Dragon Quest III (1988, Erdrick), Dragon Quest IV (1990, Solo), Dragon Quest VIII (2004, Eight), Dragon Quest XI (2017, Luminary)

The title used for various saviors of the Dragon Quest series.

Nice Guy: Eight, as Link soon finds out when confronting him over his use of the title "Hero".
The Quiet One: Even in his own world, the Luminary rarely speaks a word. The fact that he spoke in discovering Byleth's body double proves why it was such a shocking moment.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Only the Luminary appears during the revival quest, with no indication of what became of Erdrick, Solo and Eight.

73: Banjo & Kazooie

Series: Banjo-Kazooie

Debut: Banjo-Kazooie (1998)

The bear-and-Breegull Jiggy-hunting duo.

Berserk Button: Bottles is this for Kazooie, who launches into an expletive-laden tirade upon seeing him at Banjo and Kazooie's welcoming party.
Facepalm: Banjo does this as Kazooie makes a scene when she rants at Bottles being at their welcoming party.
Grievous Harm with a Body: Banjo can use Kazooie as a blunt weapon, to the shock of all of the other Fighters.
Love Triangle: Kazooie was the center of a short-lived Love Triangle between Falco and the Duck Hunt Duck. In order to solve their feud, Sakurai set Kazooie up with King Dedede.
Miss Swears-a-Lot: Kazooie, naturally, when she discovers that Bottles was invited to her and Banjo's welcoming party.

74: Terry Bogard

Series: Fatal Fury

Debut: Fatal Fury: King of Fighters (1991)

The Hungry Wolf from South Town seeking to avenge the death of his father.

Borrowed Catchphrase: At least, that's what Ness believes when he hears Terry's trademark "Are you okay?" and becomes a grump about it. The following "BUSTER WOLF!!" then offends Wolf, Cloud, Shulk, and Mega Man as well—despite just prior trying to explain to Ness that he doesn't own the work "Okay"—who then take their grievances up with Sakurai.
Forgot Flanders Could Do That: Obviously Terry can speak English perfectly, but the bad dubbing from the original Fatal Fury was so iconic it's pretty much stuck around. The comic reminds people that, yes, Terry is American and does speak fluent English.

75: Byleth

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem: Three Houses (2019)

A mercenary known as "The Ashen Demon" who became an instructor at Garreg Mach Monastery.

Big Damn Heroes: At the finale of the Despair saga, she comes in with an army of video game heroes to help even the odds against Sephiroth's army of villains.
Brick Joke: One of her earliest appearances has her try to start up a choir with some of the Smash fighters. It... Doesn't go well and Jigglypuff is miffed she wasn't included. Later during the Christmas party following everyone's revival, Byleth tries again. She has to ban Jigglypuff since her singing voice keeps putting everyone to sleep, but Byleth does pull it off in time for the party.
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: Sothis immediately revived her using divine pulse after she drank the poisoned champagne.
Dude, Where's My Respect?: She feels this way due to how... divisive the fans were over her being a fighter.
Earn Your Happy Ending: After feeling like she wasn't respected all at Smash House, she goes on her own quest to create an army and ends up getting a medal as a thanks.
Faking the Dead: Although she was immediately revived by Sothis the minute she consumed Sephiroth's poisonous champagne, Byleth decided to fake her death, believing that Sephiroth's murder plan was too complex for him to not have anything else up his sleeve. After making sure Sephiroth fled the Smash Mansion, Byleth made a decoy dummy of herself to pass as her dead body and departed on a solo quest to thwart Sephiroth's backup plans.
Failed a Spot Check: Not her, but rather everyone else for not noticing that her "body" was an obvious dummy with a crudely stitched face.
Hero of Another Story: Her quest to gather allies against Sephiroth's army.
Ms. Fanservice: Some of the bonus panels feature Byleth cycling through various costumes that show off her figure, including Sothis's outfit and the dancer outfit.
Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Sothis immediately revived her using Divine Pulse, but she decided to fake her death by making a dummy of herself and parted on her own solo quest in order to thwart any backup plans Sephiroth might have in store.
Tears of Joy: She sheds these in "Last Plane Home" while she's given a medal for her hard work in gathering her army.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Both male and female versions of Byleth show up during the first comic they appear in, but only female Byleth is shown in the following comics. Male Byleth's existence is still acknowledged by a female symbol over Byleth's decoy dummy however.
What Were You Thinking?: Sothis asks how Byleth could just trust the evil anime swordsman once she gets poisoned.
What You Are in the Dark: Sothis suggests that Byleth could earn everyone's respect if she foils Sephiroth before the poisoning happened, but Byleth notes that Sephiroth might have a contingency plan just in case. Instead, she decides to fake her death and go into hiding, preparing her own contingency plans (like giving Pichu's Focus Band to Joker) in case of emergency.

76: Min Min

Series: ARMS

Debut: ARMS (2017)

A waitress at her family's ramen restraurant, she also competes in ARMS battles, where she is known as "the Ramen Bomber".

Barbie Doll Anatomy: According to Word of God, when drawing Min Min for her Shower Scene her body was drawn without privates before adding the soap bubbles for censorship.
Goal in Life: Spring Man states that she wanted to replicate the recipe of the Cup of Lifenoodles. Thankfully, Ness and Lucas are sipping on multiple cups of these.
Ms. Fanservice: Not as obvious given her normal attire, but her shower during the bonus panels shows her body is quite curvaceous.
Mythology Gag: While showering her arms look perfectly normal. ARMS lore reveals that this is something people with the titular ARMS can do, they simply tighten the coils so tight their ARMS resemble normal arms for everyday use.
Mundane Utility: In the strip where she first appears, she uses her extendable arms to catch a ball during a baseball match, with the other fighters not being able to tell whether or not she is cheating at the game.
Shower Scene: She gets one of these in the bonus panels.
Unknown Rival: Spring Man seems to be one to her. Spring Man holds a grudge against her for "stealing" his spot on the roster, but Min Min seems to be rather indifferent to this.

77: Steve

Series: Minecraft

Debut: Minecraft (2011)

A blocky builder and miner of various ores and precious minerals.

The Comically Serious: Much of the comedy related to Steve derives from his silent and stoic nature as he's involved in some ridiculous scenarios, such as showing up on a Zoom call with his meat out and having revealed his apparent one-night stand with Bayonetta by simply respawning in her bedroom at the right time.
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: After being killed by Sephiroth, Steve simply respawned on the last bed he slept in... located in Bayonetta's bedroom.
The Quiet One: Steve never speaks.
Not So Stoic: Gains a visibly exhausted look after going on a camping trip to revive the the Luminary, just to emphasize the pain the group went through.
Odd Friendship: He has one with the villains of Smash and hangs out with them in spite of not being a villain himself.

78: Sephiroth

Series: Final Fantasy

Debut: Final Fantasy VII (1997)

The One-Winged Angel himself, he has a complicated past with Cloud.

Bad People Abuse Animals: Animalistic or non-sapient creature fighters such as Pikachu and the Duck Hunt Duo were victims of his poisoning party.
Beyond the Impossible: His Shadow is able to control his Palace in a manner not even Shido was able to accomplish, something Joker and the other Phantom Thieves didn't even think was possible.
Big Bad: Of the "Sephiroth Brings Despair" saga.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He pretended to be nice so that he could poison the entire roster for kicks. Only Cloud suspected he was faking his good guy act, but everyone else dismissed his as paranoid. Big mistake, guys. Averted in the Paldea arc when he becomes more friendly and respectful to his friends, including Cloud, thanks to the change of Heart finally setting in.
The Chew Toy: He becomes one of Doom Guy’s punching bags.
Didn't See That Coming: He was not expecting Sora to actually be the last Smasher, and runs away covered in flames and ice screaming this trope.
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Sephiroth managed to kill both Palutena and Rosalina, a pair of Physical Goddesses, with just some poison.
Easily Forgiven: Downplayed, as while he won't have it in him to commit mass murder again, Cloud and admittedly everyone else thinks he would be getting off too easily with just the change of Heart alone. So to remedy this, they forced him into a new hobby of gardening and tied him up just in case he tries anything fishy. Plus, Cloud was allowed to give Sephiroth a satisfying punch in the face.
Failed a Spot Check:
- Seeing as Samus was absent from the Kazuya welcoming party because she was away on a mission and only a spare varia suit was found at the scene of the crime, it means that Sephiroth didn't bother to check if Samus was actually inside the suit and just assumed she perished alongside everyone else.
- Sephiroth didn't notice Byleth spilling her poisoned champagne, taking Pichu's focus band and putting it on Joker, and pretending to be dead, prompting Byleth to fake her death and depart on a solo quest to stop Sephiroth after he flees the Smash Mansion.
- He didn't see if Incineroar was actually at the party; this turned out to be his biggest oversight because Kazuya freed Incineroar from his prison in the basement and then rescued all of the Smashers after Kazuya threw them into the volcano.
Fatal Flaw: Hubris. He thinks that he had everything planned out that he didn't double check to see if there could be anyone who could stop him (most notably Byleth pretending to have died, Samus not even being at the house, and Incineroar being stuck in the basement). If he waited for Kazuya to arrive and poisoned him, then Incineroar wouldn't have been able to be freed and create the plan to revive everyone. Moreover, he only went for the Smashers, and not the Assist Trophies, many of them willing to lend a hand to revive everyone.
Foreshadowing: While hospitalized after Pyra caved his skull in with her sword, Sephiroth is seen with a book titled "How to not be an asshole" (basically a book on how to be nice to others). He is not reading the book, he is studying from the book, foreshadowing that he was faking his nice guy shtick to gain everyone's trust and stab them all in the back when they least expected.
For the Evulz: Justified. He just thought it would be a funny prank after he poisoned almost everyone.
Heel–Face Turn: As of the Bromance Vacation arc, his change of Heart seems to be kicking in, since he's soon seen no longer tied up and is actively helping Kazuya and Incineroar.
Irony: He played a long game to get everyone's trust before poisoning them all. If only he waited longer to ensure Kazuya and Sora didn't get involved...
Laser-Guided Karma: Played for laughs. Before the big revival arc, he got two noticeable doses of karma for giving out fake smash invites and one after:
- Doomguy doesn't give a damn to his fake invite and contorts Sephiroth's body itself into the shape of a dickbutt.
- When the Aegis join the roster, Mythra recognizes him as the one who gave Rex a fake invitation letter and made him cry, prompting Pyra to use her forward smash on him and hospitalizing him once more.
- After the revival arc kickstarts, just as he's about to lay waste to Bowser, who so happens to arrive at the door but Sora, who also got that fake letter.
- Killing Robin has serious consequences once Tharja finds out...
- Some members of Byleth's army of heroes at the end of the revival arc include Phoenix Wright, Crash Bandicoot, Rayman and Shantae, who had all received a fake invitation letter from Sephiroth. The implication here being that they joined Byleth to get back at Sephiroth.
- Cloud is the one who gets the last laugh in that he unleashes the All-Out Attack in Sephiroth's palace and gets one more punch in the face from everyone else so he doesn't end up as a Karma Houdini.
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Upon seeing Sora at the Smash Manor with a real Smash invite this time, he flees while screaming, "Nobody told me this kid was coming!", referring to how no one was expecting Sora to be the final DLC for Ultimate.
Long Game: After getting his skull caved in by Pyra and getting hospitalized once more, Sephiroth starts acting nice to others, claiming to have turned over a new leaf, with only Cloud suspecting that he is only pretending to have become nice, but everyone dismissed Cloud as a paranoiac. It turns out Cloud was right to be wary, as Sephiroth was faking the good guy shtick all along so he could gain the trust of the other fighters and murder them all at once via poison when they let down their guards.
Never My Fault: He attempts to explain to Doom Guy that Bowser Jr. was the one to blame who sent a fake invite. Doom Guy doesn’t buy it.
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: If he waited until Kazuya actually arrived at the party before poisoning everyone, then Kazuya wouldn't have been able to free Incineroar down in the basement and thus the two (along with Kirby) wouldn't have been able to arrive to start the quest to revive everyone.
Oh, Crap!: When he gets the Phantom Thieves' calling card, he realizes his deadline for finishing his ultimate prank just got that much shorter.
The Prankster: His time early at the Smash House was marked with petty pranks, such as antagonizing Cloud and sending out fake Smash invites to dozens of other characters. Takes on a darker light when he later poisons nearly the entire Smash roster.
Rousing Speech: He gives on in the Paldean Adventures arc about why Quaxwell and Crocalor should stay as they are — after Luigi accidentally gave them Everstones — about it's not about their stats but the bond between trainer and Pokémon is important. Kazuya, however, just goes for stealing the stones.
Take a Third Option: When doubting whether to join the "Villains" or "Anime Swordfighters" tables, Sephiroth ultimately settles on joining the "Exhibitionists" table (composed of Samus, Shulk, DK and Kirby, the last of whom sits at every other table too). It should also be noted that, from this point onwards, Sephiroth exclusively shows up shirtless.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: He's clearly not having a great time towards the start of his trip to Paldea with Incineroar and Kazuya. Eventually he gets better. He starts to mellow out as of "Double Triple Finish" thanks to Kirby's Friend Heart from several comics back.
Took a Level in Kindness: After the effects of the change of Heart kick in, Sephiroth has finally learned to be more friendly and respectful to his friends.
Walking Shirtless Scene: Prefers to be in his shirtless alt. (Cemented by him not knowing whether to sit at the "Villains" or "Anime Swordfighters" tables and ultimately settling for the "Exhibitionists" table). In fact, it gets to the point that the shadows of him in his palace are all shirtless, even the female ones. Incineroar identifies him as a "silver-haired half-naked anime swordsman" to Kazuya to differentiate him from Corrin and Robin. He starts wearing a top again, that being Naranja Academy's uniform, when he, Incineroar, and Kazuya arrive in Paldea. He has his coat on again when he faces Malenia in the Ultimate Battle Royale, only for it to be torn off when he enters his One Winged mode.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Doomguy after he whooped his ass for disrespecting him.
Would Hurt a Child: He had no problem targeting Ness, the Ice Climbers, Young Link, Lucas, Leaf, Toon Link, Bowser Jr. and the Inklings for his poisoning scheme.

79-80: Pyra and Mythra

Series: Xenoblade Chronicles

Debut: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (2017)

Rex's Blade, the legendary Aegis sword that takes the form of either the sweet Pyra or the haughty Mythra.

Adaptational Modesty: Invoked in-universe. While Sephiroth is introducing himself to Mythra, she still has her regular outfit from her home game. Meanwhile Isabelle can be seen in the background bringing over some coverings in the same color scheme. A few panels later, Mythra is shown in her Smash Bros outfit, with Isabelle walking off in relief.
Berserk Button: Don't make Rex cry, unless you want a sword caved into your skull.
Beware the Nice Ones: When Mythra (who is the haughty and hot-blooded half of the Aegis), recognizes Sephiroth as the one who pranked Rex and made him cry, it's Pyra (who is the sweet and gentle half of the Aegis) who caves his skull in with her forward smash.
Crushing Handshake: This is Sephiroth's last clue that Pyra is about to smash him for pranking Rex.
Sephiroth: You are squeezing my hand.
Clueless Dude Magnet: When they first joined the roster, they had a good chunk of the male fighters lusting after them, which they didn't seem to realize. Granted, this is provided they are not intentionally ignoring them since they are in a relationship with Rex, meaning that none of those guys had a chance with them to begin with. In addition some of those fighters are already in relationships to begin with (mainly Chrom and Richter, who are married and engaged respectively).
Didn't Think This Through: At a Girls' Night not long after the Aegis joined the Smash House, they get into a drinking contest with Bayonetta, with Pyra under the belief that she'll be able to switch to Mythra for a fresh restart to keep going. However, upon doing so, the alcohol sickness immediately sets in and she's sent to the emergency room, with Samus and Sheik explaining to her that damage is maintained across both halves of the Aegis.
Everyone Has Standards: Despite both of them being Ms. Fanservice, Pyra draws the line at full-blown exhibitionism, freaking out when the Shadows in Sephiroth's Palace are all topless (even the females).
Only Mostly Dead: As it turns out, Sephiroth didn't manage to kill the Aegis because their nature as a Blade meant that they couldn't be killed by poison. They still fainted and were left unconscious due to technically being stuck in battle mode and being unable to auto-heal because of the presence of fighters that could classify as monsters.
Violently Protective Girlfriend: The girls' reaction to recognizing Sephiroth as the one who pranked Rex and made him cry surely counts.
You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: During a bonus panel she rips off the mask of a female Shadow guard because its toplessness is distracting... Only for its true form to be Mara...

81: Kazuya Mishima

Series: Tekken

Debut: Tekken (1994)

A member of the very screwed-up Mishima family of martial artists, he has inherited the Devil Gene from his late mother.

Antagonistic Offspring: On both ends, just as in his original series. He hates his father Heihachi, and the feeling is mutual. Additionally, as shown in the cast call for A Christmas Warol, he hates his (biological) son Jin Kazama as well, and likewise, Jin feels the same.
Berserk Button: As shown in the Bonus Panels, he really doesn't like his dad.
The Comically Serious: Kazuya's grim face is a contrast to the hilarity he gets into.
Late to the Tragedy: He arrives just after Sephiroth poisoned everyone.
Odd Friendship: With Incineroar, as he shows concern when Incineroar goes on a capturing spree to help trade one Pokémon for Xerneas.
Papa Wolf: Has become one to Piranha Plant. Just ask Wario.
Parental Favoritism: Given that, even after he got nicer thanks to raising the replacement Piranha Plant, Kazuya still hates Jin, it's clear that this is in play.
Ship Tease: He tries looking up pictures of Nina Williams naked (before getting interrupted by Male Inkling) implying he's at least attracted to her.
Single Tear: When the Piranha Plant calls him "mama", Kazuya sheds one in joy.
- Sheds another one when he sets Piranha Plant free in the Flower Kingdom.
The Stoic: He almost always keeps a grim face no matter the situation.
Took a Level in Kindness: His friendship with Incineroar and raising the Pirahna Plant as his own child has changed him, to the point that when he meets his dad in the bonus panel for "You Win Some, You Lose Some", he's let go of his vengeance because these two have given him something else to live for.
Walking Shirtless Scene: He usually walks around without a top unless he travels somewhere. Unfortunately this ended up going against him when he and Incineroar tried to get the corn needed to revive the Ice Climbers as neither of them dressed warmly.
When He Smiles: A bonus panel has him smiling after he hurls the Ice Climbers down a volcano and they come back right as rain. He's also seen smiling following both of the evolutions of his Paldean Starter Pokémon Sprigatito.

82: Sora

Series: Kingdom Hearts

Debut: Kingdom Hearts (2002)

The legendary Keyblade wielder from Destiny Islands, he battled alongside his friends Donald Duck and Goofy to stop the Heartless from taking over the worlds.

Achievements in Ignorance: He arrives at Smash Manor just as Sephiroth is about to kill Bowser and the rest of the deceased fighters.
Big Damn Heroes: Arrives at the mansion just as Sephiroth was about to destroy Bowser and the dead bodies of the remaining deceased fighters.
Brick Joke: Sora was earlier depicted as a target of Sephiroth's dickbutt pranks. When he finally joins Smash, he tells Sephiroth he got his real invitation this time.
Bullying a Dragon: Or pranking a dragon in this case. His attempted prank on Mii Gunner in her Sans outfit turns out to be directed at the real Sans. Cue Sora having a bad time.
Covert Pervert: Uses his phone to post pics of Dark Samus, Krystal, and Link, all of which point out their attractive bodies.
Early-Bird Cameo: Before officially joining Smash, he's first seen in "Smash Queue" waiting in line to get in Smash, and then gets targeted by Sephiroth's pranks.
Final Boss: Of the Paldea saga. He's become the champion of the Paldea Pokemon league, and seeks retaliation against the fighters he traveled there with for forgetting all about him.
Gameplay and Story Segregation: In the Paldean Misadventures arc, he's shown as having become new champion after beating Geeta complete with wearing a copy of her clothes. In the games, Geeta is the Top Champion and anyone who beats her becomes a Champion-Ranked trainer with Geeta keeping her spot.
Late to the Tragedy: Like Kazuya, he arrived at the mansion after everyone was poisoned. However he arrives to save Bowser before Sephiroth has a chance to kill him.
Locked Out of the Loop: He is unfamiliar with Tabuu, as he just became a fighter in Ultimate.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: He is the one who opens the crate Tabuu is sleeping in, and by doing so, this allows the Subspace warlord to wreak havoc once again.
Oh, Crap!: Has this reaction when Tabuu is awakened.
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: He ends up becoming the Champion of the Paldean Pokémon League while everyone else was dealing with their own training and Team Star. Then again, having the Pokémon equivalent of God might have contributed to it.
Pals with Jesus: He's friends with Arceus after he gets captured by Sora’s Master Ball.

Extended Cast

Smash House Staff

Masahiro Sakurai

The brain behind Super Smash Bros..

The Ageless: Parodied; both Simon and Richter find his photos back when he first joined Nintendo and notes that he hasn't aged a day since then. They then assume he's some undead immortal and try to kill him.
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: He disappears from the story once the Revival arc is kicked into high-gear, with none of the Fighters ever mentioning what became of him; and outside of an appearance in a shitpost comic, he has yet to return in full to the series, with Isabelle having since taken over management of the Smash House.
The Gadfly: When asked how many Fire Emblem characters are joining Smash when Marth and Roy join Melee, he simply brings up his ring and pinky fingers, which Mario assumes means just two. It's not until eighteen years later, during Byleth's presentation in Ultimate, that Sakurai reveals he was actually counting to seven in binary.^Explanation
Hypocritical Humor: He claims he's not biased about fighters in their room arrangements... when he clearly has planned a giant castle for Kirby.
Running Gag: His shirt has different patterns every time he appears.
Small Role, Big Impact: Just a few comics before the "Sephiroth brings Despair" arc, he asks Kirby to place Incineroar in prison before he spoiled the identities of the last 2 DLC fighters. This act actually saves Incineroar from Sephiroth's poisoning plot, meaning that he's at the right moment when Kazuya arrives to help revive everyone. In short, Sakurai is the reason why Sephiroth's plan failed. Moreover, it's because of him that Sora became a Smasher, meaning that Sora arrives at the right place and time before Sephiroth killed the Smashers who were still dead at that point.
Take a Third Option: To end the discord caused by Falco and the Duck Hunt Duck fighting over Kazooie, Sakurai sets her up with King Dedede.
Tears of Joy: Weeps these when Isabelle made a list of things she's done to help lighten the load for him.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Strangely disappeared from the story once the Revival arc began.

Isabelle 2

Series: Animal Crossing

Debut: Animal Crossing: New Horizons

A clone of Isabelle from the mostly-abandoned Buttville Island.

But Now I Must Go: Returns to her home island at the end of the revival arc, but promises to visit the gang whenever she can.
Chekhov's Gag: In one of the strips made about Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it's revealed that every individual Animal Crossing town/island has its own set of clones of special characters such as Tom Nook, the Nooklings, Isabelle, Blathers, the Able Sisters etc. This becomes relevant in Everyone is Home when it comes to reviving Isabelle, as Incineroar decides to simply replace her with one of her many clones.
Color-Coded for Your Convenience: After the original Isabelle returns, she starts wearing her yellow winter outfit from Animal Crossing: New Leaf, whereas the original one wears the green summer outfit, to differentiate them.
Inexplicably Identical Individuals: Every single Animal Crossing town/island comes with their own set of special characters. Isabelle is no exception, so when Sephiroth kills her, Incineroar decides to take the easy route and have her replaced by the Isabelle of Buttville Island.
Replacement Goldfish: Rather than reviving the original Isabelle, Incineroar decides to replace her for one of the many versions of her, as only the Isabelles have enough patience and motivation to go through hundreds of pages of video game lore. In contrast to the other two characters who were replaced instead of revived, the original Isabelle ends up coming back to life thanks to Doomguy and Isabelle 2 returns to Buttville Island at the end of the revival arc.
Workaholic: She initially refused to leave Buttville Island, but Incineroar convinced her to join by saying there will be a lot of work to do.

Sandbag

Series: Super Smash Bros.

Debut: Super Smash Bros. Melee

The Smashers' literal punching bag.

Humble Hero: Despite having valid reason to not help, Sandbag still volunteers his service in being a punchbag in order to help Nia, Tora and Zeke bring Rex, and by extension Pyra and Mythra, back to normal.
The Quiet One: Not because of choice, but because no one really bothered asking.
Tears of Joy: After the successful mission of healing Pyra and Mythra back to consciousness, everyone present gives Sandbag a heroes' celebration for his efforts, something that brings Sandbag to tears.
You Didn't Ask: When the other fighters are surprised that Sandbag can talk, Sandbag tells them that he could always talk, just that no ever ever bothered to ask him.

Allies & Neutral Parties — Introduced Before the Revival Arc

Waluigi

Series: Super Mario Bros.

Debut: Mario Tennis

Wario’s partner-in-crime, as well as an Assist Trophy trying to get into the Fighters' roster to no avail.

Character Development: Waluigi initially tried to get in the roster by any means necessary, only to fail every time. When he falls deep into despair and decides to end it all, Ridley confronts him, telling him that he once was in his place, with everyone on the internet joking about how they wanted him to join Smash, only to just become one more fighter when he finally got in. He tells Waluigi to embrace his Internet fame instead of regretting it, since he will miss it if he does join Smash one day. Following this, Waluigi has become an ally to the Smashers, helping them revive the Mario cast (in exchange of a very humble reward too) and even joining Byleth's army of heroes at the end of the revival arc.
Everyone Has Standards: While still somewhat frustrated over not being invited as a fighter to Smash, as well as the numerous times he had been kicked out of the mansion, Waluigi is not so petty that he won't agree to help in the revival quest. In addition, what he wants in return for his contribution (a mock-up photo of him looking as if he had joined the roster) is also very humble. Contrast that to someone like Spring Man, who said that Min Min deserved to die for "stealing" his place on the roster, and had to be bribed with a (fake) invitation to the roster in order to get him to spill the beans on how to revive her. He also doesn't go as far as what Sephiroth did.
Heel–Face Turn: Thanks to Ridley's advice, he no longer tries extreme ways to get into the roster and helps Incineroar and Kazuya in gathering 1-UP Mushrooms to revive the Mario characters and a Yoshi egg to replace the old one.
Irony: Waluigi being an assist trophy actually became beneficial in the "Sephiroth Brings Despair" arc. Sephiroth only went after the Smashers, thus Waluigi was able to give Kazuya and Incineroar the information needed to revive the Mario characters and Yoshi, and later revive Robin.
Karmic Jackpot: By taking Ridley's words to heart, not only does he avoid being poisoned by Sephiroth, but his actions to help Incineroar and Kazuya end up with him rewarded. He is freely allowed in the Smash House again and he redeems himself as being part of Byleth's army.
Spanner in the Works: He ends up becoming a useful source of information to help Incinerorar, Kazuya, and Kirby save the Mario cast.

Spring Man

Series: ARMS

Debut: ARMS

An ARMS competitor relegated to an Assist Trophy role in Smash, he is very bitter over Min Min being chosen to be part of the Smash Fighters roster as opposed to him.

Adaptational Jerkass: In his home game, he's a jolly fellow who loves participating in boxing matches. Here, he hates Min Min for allegedly stealing his place in Ultimate's roster and refuses to help Leaf and King K. Rool revive her.
Karmic Butt-Monkey: He just can't catch a break, and he hasn't been shown learning his lesson, something that even Waluigi eventually did (resulting in the latter getting into the Smash House's good graces).
Laser-Guided Karma: Spring Man made it very clear, during his interrogation by King K. Rool and Leaf, that, even if he did know how to, he has no intention in helping them revive Min Min, on the basis that she "stole" his spot on the roster, even rudely stating she could stay dead for all he cared. K. Rool used that jealousy to his advantage by taunting him with a supposed Invite to Smash if he helped them. In the end, Spring Man angrily walks back to the Assist Trophy campsite as his "invite" is nothing more but a dickbutt K. Rool, which the croc specifically says he took inspiration from Sephiroth to make it.
- Even broader, his absence from the Smash roster could also be punishment for cutting the Smash Queue line way back before Ultimate was even announced.
Mirror Character: He took Waluigi's place as a bitter Assist Trophy who is angry that someone got to be a Smasher before them. However, Waluigi was given advice by Ridley to accept his Internet fame while it lasts and becomes a valuable ally to the Smashers without asking for much (he only wanted a mock-up photo of him looking as if he had joined Smash) whereas Spring Man had to be bribed with a fake invitation from King K. Rool before he spilled the beans on Min Min. Notably, Waluigi is not only invited back into the Smash House but he also joined in reviving Robin and became part of Byleth's army while Spring Man hasn't been seen since.
The Resenter: Makes it quite clear that he resents Min Min, downright refusing to help revive her without something in return, not even Waluigi was this petty.
What Happened to the Mouse?: After getting the fake dickbutt invite, he hasn't been seen again. Notably, he's not part of Byleth's army even though various Assist Trophies, especially Waluigi, are present.

Master Chief Petty Officer John-117

Series: Halo

Debut: Halo: Combat Evolved

A super-soldier who serves as the leader of the United Nations Space Command's SPARTAN-IIs.

Big Damn Heroes: Is among the many video game heroes who arrive with Byleth to help defend the Smash House.
Guest-Star Party Member: Helps the Smashers in reviving the space themed fighters.

Adaptational Sexuality: He makes out with his friend/rival Miles Edgeworth in one of the bonus comics.
Big Damn Heroes: Is among the many video game heroes who arrive with Byleth to help defend the Smash House. Considering that he was earlier one of the recipients of Sephiroth's fake Smash invites, he could also be out for revenge.
Official Couple: Seemingly with Miles Edgeworth.

Doom Slayer

Series: Doom

Debut: Doom

A space marine who found himself transported to Hell, he's faced with no choice but to slaughter his way through the demonic hordes, soon becoming known as the Bane of Hell itself.

Berserk Button: Harming Isabelle in any way is his, as he blows up the spaceship that they are on when she gets knocked out by a falling cake.
Big Damn Heroes: When Sephiroth is about to kill everyone with Giratina, he arrives having busted out Bayonetta and the Animal Crossing fighters out of Hell. Sephiroth decides to bail after seeing him due to their last encounter. Additionally, he's among the army of video game heroes recruited by Byleth to defend the Smash House in the final battle against Sephiroth.
Bullying a Dragon: Sephiroth really shouldn't have given him one of his troll letters...
The Dreaded: Has become this to Sephiroth after the dickbutt prank invitation letter to the point that the One-Winged Angel would rather flee than confront him again. Hell, during the big battle, he basically controls the entire battlefield, handing any poor fool their villainous asses.
Odd Friendship: He and Isabelle are very good friends. Their friendship has quite the impact on the plot too, as Isabelle is the one who tells Doomguy that Sephiroth was the one who pranked him with the fake dickbutt invitation, and when Isabelle is killed by Sephiroth, she ends up in Hell, where she finds Bayonetta and Villager, and calls upon Doomguy to bust the three of them out of there.

Rex

Series: Xenoblade Chronicles

Debut: Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Pyra/Mythra's Driver, with whom they share a very close bond.

Badass in Distress: Is rendered unconscious and near-death due to his linked lifeforce with the poisoned Aegis duo, so his friends have to perform Driver Combos to build up their Party Gauge so that they can resusticate him (and, by extension, Pyra/Mythra). Later, he is held hostage by the Mauses to keep Mythra from acting against them.
Big Damn Heroes: As shown in a vision by Shulk, the older versions of Rex and Shulk himself will bust in and free the Smash House from the invasive Mauses. Turns out that while a beefed up Rex does come to rescue the Smash House, by the time he and Snake arrive, the Maus infestation has already been taken care off.
Butt-Monkey: Is one of the victims of Sephiroth's fake Smash invitation prank (Pyra/Mythra gets back at Sephiroth for that), is knocked unconscious when the Aegis is poisoned, and ends up getting kidnapped and held hostage by the invasive Mauses. This guy just can't catch a break here.
I Have Your Wife: The victim of this via the Mauses that took over the Smash House so that they can make the Aegis their servant.
Kid Hero All Grown-Up: At least, a version of him seen in a vision by Shulk, who takes on the form of his incarnation from Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed. Eventually revealed to be the result of a serum made of Snake's blood and steroids that beefed and aged up not only him, but Shulk and some of the other Fighters as well (with Isabelle wondering if it's just temporary).
Late to the Action: After being freed by Snake from the Mauses that took him and his friends hostage, they both head to the Smash House to fight off the infestation there. Unfortunately for them, by the time they arrived, the Mauses have already been routed.
Synchronization: Shares his lifeforce with Pyra/Mythra; as such, when Pyra/Mythra were poisoned by Sephiroth, this had the effect of also putting Rex into a near-death state.

Ethan Winters

Series: Resident Evil

Debut: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

A systems engineer who went on a journey through horrific settings—twice—to find his missing family.

The Faceless: His face is never shown, as something always—and sometimes arbitrarily—blocks it from being seen.

An owl resident of the animal village who curates the local museum; as such, he is very knowledgable about various natural and historic topics, but carries a huge phobia of bugs.

Faint in Shock: Seeing the huge swarm of flies from Daniela Dimitrescu's causes him to freak out so badly that he passes out.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He is very much afraid of bugs despite being an owl, to the point where an entire swarm of them—such as Daniela Dimitrescu's true form—is enough to make him pass out.

Allies & Neutral Parties — Introduced During the Revival Arc

Donkey "Cranky" Kong Sr.

Series: Donkey Kong Country

Debut: Donkey Kong (as Donkey Kong), Donkey Kong Country (as Cranky)

The original Donkey Kong and the cranky curmudgeon of the Kong clan, he runs an Item shop on Kong Island.

Big Damn Heroes: Is among the many video game heroes who arrive with Byleth to help defend the Smash House.
Cane Fu: Is still quite capable of bringing the pain, as Kazuya found out the hard way when putting his finger on Cranky's nose earned him a hard cane to the face.
Deadpan Snarker: Wouldn't be Cranky if he wasn't.
Grumpy Old Man: The first thing he does when Incineroar and Kazuya enter his shop is to rant about how stupid the both of them look to him.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: For what it's worth, he does ultimately help revive Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong despite his hostility towards Incineroar and Kazuya (though he takes Incineroar's remaining fur and Kazuya's pants as payment), and he's among the heroes recruited by Byleth to assist in the battle against Sephiroth.

A lazy monster that resembles a skeleton, but is in fact much more powerful than he appears. Mii Gunner tends to dress up as him.

Big Damn Heroes: Is among the many video game heroes who arrive with Byleth to help defend the Smash House.
Freak Out: Has one when he sees Mii Gunner's lifeless corpse dressed up as him.
Leeroy Jenkins: During the final battle for the Smash House, he mishears Isabelle's directive to not kill Sephiroth as to kill him and blasts him with his Gaster Blaster, which could have also killed the Phantom Thieves who were in Sephiroth's subsconsciousness at that moment. Luckily, Sephiroth survives, and the Phantom Thieves end up right where they need to be.
Prank Gone Too Far: Because of Mii Gunner's penchant for dressing up as Sans, at one point the latter is the victim of a practical joke by Sora who actually intended to prank Gunner. Sans then gives Sora a bad time.

Debut: Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

The Champion of the Sinnoh Region.

Big Damn Heroes: Is among the many video game heroes who arrive with Byleth to help defend the Smash House.
Failed a Spot Check: Confuses Kazooie for Ho-Oh; even though Kazooie painted herself to resemble one, Ho-Oh is still far bigger than she is.
Guest-Star Party Member: She joins the Smashers in helping them revive their Pokémon when they visit the Sinnoh Region. When they leave the region she is seen waving them off.
Troll: Seems to take delight in the fact that the Azure Flute was never distributed to Trainers back during Diamond/Pearl.

Arceus

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

The Alpha Pokémon and the creator of the Sinnoh Region and possibly the Pokémon World itself.

Captured Super-Entity: Right as Arceus is about to smite the Fighters for disturbing him, Sora catches him in a Master Ball he had obtained earlier. Sora still has him all the way until the Paldean adventure.
Exact Words: He's the creator of Pokémon, as he admits, meaning that he can only revive Jigglypuff before getting exhausted.
Olympus Mons: He’s basically the Pokémon God.
Punny Name: A bonus panel has Sora call him "Arcesus" a play on their name and "Jesus".

Dialga

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

The Pokémon ruler of time.

Amplifier Artifact: Traveling 100 years into the future is difficult even for him, but he's able to pull it off with the help of Young Link's Ocarina of Time.
Captured Super-Entity: Is caught by Samus after she mistakes it for Xerneas based on Arceus' somewhat-vague description of the latter. Is later used to age Little Mac back to his normal age.
Chekhov's Gunman: Dialga is how the Fighters age Little Mac back to his normal self, at the very end of the Revival Arc.
Exact Words: Arceus' description of Xerneas was "a big blue quadrupedal creature with glowing horns", which fits Dialga to a T.
Olympus Mons: Along with Palkia and Giratina, it serves as one of the anthropomorphic personifications of the aspects of the universe; in its case, time.

Shulk's Friends

Series: Xenoblade Chronicles

Debut: Xenoblade Chronicles

Shulk's traveling companions on Bionis: Reyn, Dunban, Sharla, Melia, and Riki.

Big Damn Heroes: Reyn is shown among the Video Game heroes who arrive with Byleth to defend the Smash House, and Sharla is shown among the team of healers keeping Byleth's army in top shape. It's unknown if Shulk's other friends were also part of the group, though given the sheer size of the army, it's a very large possibility that they are, just off-screen.
The Medic: Sharla, via her rifle and healing bullets, which—combined with Melia's and Riki's own Arts—revive Shulk lickity-split. She also put these skills to work in the final battle against Sephiroth's Army, working alongside several other healers to keep her allies fighting fit.
The Red Mage: Melia qualifies, as while she's not a true White Mage, she uses her one healing Art to help revive Shulk.
What Happened to the Mouse?: There is no sighting or mention of the party's seventh member Fiora, in either of her forms.

Dr. Thomas Light

Series: Mega Man (Classic)

Debut: Mega Man

The brilliant roboticist and creator of Mega Man.

Always Someone Better: Is this for Shulk. Skilled an engineer as Shulk is, Mega Man is much more sophisticated than R.O.B., to the point where the only thing Shulk could do was bring the Blue Bomber to Dr. Light. Thomas is able to fix Mega Man up in a jiffy.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: For Dr. Light the difference between humans and robots is razor-thin, to the point where he considers Mega Man his son rather than just his creation.

Bandana Waddle Dee

Series: Kirby

Debut: Kirby Super Star

King Dedede's loyal servant and Kirby's friend.

Big Damn Heroes: Is among the many video game heroes who arrive with Byleth to help defend the Smash House.
Crazy-Prepared: He carries an armory of weapons to fight off Marx when he tries to steal the wish from NOVA, including certain weapons which are picky when it comes to who can use them.
Determinator: He goes through the Milky Way Wishes gauntlet to resurrect King Dedede.
Only the Chosen May Wield: Four of the weapons he borrows from the Smash Mansion to intimidate Marx into backing off are the Master Sword, the Monado, the Vampire Killer and the Keyblade, which normally can only be wielded by Link, Shulk, a Belmont and Sora respectively, meaning that Bandana Waddle Dee is literally worthy of wielding any type of weapon.
Undying Loyalty: As soon as he sees his king dead, he goes through the entirety of Milky Way Wishes to wish him back to life with NOVA. He also fixes the faces of the Inklings while he's at it.

Melina

Series: Elden Ring

Distracted by the Sexy: Unfortunately for the two Isabelles, Knuckles completely ignores them after he sees Rouge the Bat wearing one of the Incineroar fur bikinis that Peach sold her.
Flight: Tails can somehow fly by spinning his two tails around. This is demonstrated when he arrives with Knuckles to the final battle against Sephiroth.
Troll: Tails seems to take some pleasure in trying to get Peach to kiss the dead Sonic to revive him, similar to what happened that other time when Sonic was revived by another princess' kiss.

Big Damn Heroes: Several heroic members are seen among the army of Video Game heroes recruited by Byleth to defend the Smash House. Since the group also includes villains among their ranks, it's unknown if the group fractured so that said villains could ally themselves with Sephiroth's own army in the battle.
Fun with Acronyms: They even wear it as a literal badge!
The Power of the Sun: They worship the sun, and use this power to revive their fellow sun-worshipping sister, Wii Fit Trainer.

Debut: Fire Emblem Gaiden

The heroes of Valentia who united its two warring kingdoms and freed it from their two respective gods.

Guest-Star Party Member: Join the gang in helping revive the Fire Emblem fighters.
Insistent Terminology: They have to keep correcting the Isabelles that the name of their continent is "Valentia", as the Isabelles mispronounce it a different way each time.
Like an Old Married Couple: Their domestic arguments in spite of their youth prompts Isabelle to comment that they act like they've been married for thirty years.
Slap-Slap-Kiss: More verbal than most examples of this trope, but Alm and Celica do get into some marital spats while helping the gang revive Roy, Ike and Lucina. Afterwards, it turns out they acquired so many affinity points fighting monsters (due to it taking two hours to find the last spring for Ike) that they've stopped all arguments and have started kissing passionately.

Sothis

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem: Three Houses

The Mother Goddess of Fódlan, she resides in Byleth's mind.

Older Than They Look: Looks like a child, but is actually millennia older.
Time Master: Has control over time, being able to freeze and reverse it to the benefit of Byleth, which allows her to avoid being poisoned by Sephiroth again and then go on a solo quest.
What the Hell, Hero?: Chews out Byleth for being stupid enough to drink a beverage served by someone as evil-looking as Sephiroth, which ends up killing Byleth before Sothis reverses time.

The second-eldest of the Nohr royal siblings, and Corrin's adoptive sister and wife.

Not Blood Siblings: Her husband is her adoptive brother Corrin, much to the disgust of the other fighters.
Official Couple: Married to Corrin, which the other Fighters find very disturbing.
Statuesque Stunner: Tall and beautiful.

Lissa

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem: Awakening

Princess of Ylisse, Chrom's sister, and a friend/possible wife of Robin

Ambiguous Situation: For now it's not known if Lissa is just a friend of Robin's or his wife. Either way her presence in the field where the Smash fighters are trying to revive Robin is the final key to bringing him back.
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Played for Laughs. Incineroar and Kazuya practically kidnap her to help bring Robin back via the Power of Friendship, but Lissa's attitude makes it clear they didn't have to go that far.
Lissa: You could have just asked!

Tharja

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem: Awakening

Plegian dark mage and regular stalker/possible wife of Robin

The Dreaded: To the point where Robin is concerned about what she did after hearing about his death. Turns out she was giving Sephiroth something else to fear on top of Doomguy...
Violently Protective Girlfriend: Well, it's not known if she actually has a relationship with Robin, but she was not happy to learn Sephiroth had killed him.

Rex's Friends

Series: Xenoblade Chronicles

Debut: Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Rex and Pyra/Mythra's travelling companions in Alrest: Nia, Tora, Zeke von Genbu, Nia's Blade Dromarch and Zeke's Blade Pandoria.

Innocently Insensitive: Bowser takes offense to Nia referring to him as a monster when explaining why Pyra/Mythra are still in battle mode and thus can't heal via After-Combat Recovery.
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Does this to the Sandbag to build up the Party Gauge so they can revive Rex, and Pyra/Mythra by extension.
The Voiceless: Nia is the only one of the group who does any talking, with the sole exception being when they are all shouting their Arts while attacking the Sandbag.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Mòrag and her Blade Brighid are not part of the group when they visit the Smash House despite being party members by the time Zeke and Pandoria join their party in-canon, nor is Azurda present with the group either despite always riding in Rex's helmet. Oddly enough, Tora's Blade Poppi is also not shown even though Tora uses her Blade weapon against the Sandbag, though it's possible that she was simply offscreen.

The Phantom Thieves of Hearts

Series: Persona

Debut: Persona 5

Joker's fellow Phantom Thieves: Morgana, Ryuji Sakamoto, Ann Takamaki and Futaba Sakura.

Casanova Wannabe: Not only is he still a simp for Ann, but at one point Morgana is smug about being held by Pyra.
Deadpan Snarker: Futaba, naturally.
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Lore-wise it's impossible to summon one's Persona outside the Cognitive World (whether that be the Dark Hour, the Midnight Channel, or the Metaverse). Yet Morgana is able to summon Zorro in the real world to heal Joker from his 1 HP.
Guest-Star Party Member: Morgana accompanies Joker, Cloud, Pyra, Tifa, and Squirtle in infiltrating Sephiroth's Palace in his subconsciousness. Morgana along with Ann (code name: "Panther") also join Sonic as additional "cats" to help take down the Mauses infesting the Smash House.
I Am Not Weasel: Despite resembling a cat to varying degrees in both of his forms, Morgana hates being called a cat, and at one point even initially refused to help aid in Sonic's quest to find cats to help get rid of the Mauses in the Smash House.
I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: Ann must have become aware of Morgana's attraction to her at some point, becuase she convinces him to join the fight against the Mauses by saying she'll be getting into her Panther suit (which has a prominent Cleavage Window that shows off her appreciable bust) before heading to the Smash House.
Interspecies Friendship: Aside from the human Phantom Thieves themselves with Morgana, Futaba is also friends with Alphys, a lizard-like monster scientist.
Nice Girl: When Ann hears from Sonic that the Smash House has been taken over by Mauses and they need lots of cats, she immediately volunteers without question (unlike Morgana, who refuses on the grounds that Sonic just called him a cat).
Mythology Gag: Apparently the Phantom Thieves are staying at a place called the SMT House, clearly meant to stand for Shin Megami Tensei, the series Persona spun off from.
Suddenly Voiced: Ann was the only on-screen Phantom Thief who didn't have a speaking role in their first appearance (Morgana did the majority of the talking, Ryuji was Mr. Exposition, and Futaba got a few lines in the bonus panels). Come their second appearance Ann is a little more talkative.
What Happened to the Mouse?: While it's obvious that Ryuji, Ann, and Morgana would show up (due to sharing Joker's spot as the face of the game), the only other Phantom Thief that we see is Futaba, with no indication of where Yusuke, Makoto, and Haru are (though presumably they simply stayed back in Tokyo).

Tifa Lockhart and Barret Wallace

Series: Final Fantasy

Debut: Final Fantasy VII

Cloud's friends and fellow members of the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE dedicated to freeing the world from Shinra's machinations.

Bare-Fisted Monk: Tifa, shown in full effect when she and the other Phantom Thieves infiltrate Sephiroth's Palace.
The Bartender: Tifa is first seen tending to the 7th Heaven bar.
Friend to All Children: They bond well with Mega Man and the de-aged Little Mac, convincing Falco that they're on the up-and-up.
Good Father: Barret is one to his adoptive daughter Marlene, despite feeling that he's drifting apart from her due to being out of the loop on newer trends that kids are into.
Guest-Star Party Member: They volunteer to help with the Smashers' Sephiroth situation, and Tifa is selected as part of the Smashers' Phantom Thieves team to infiltrate Sephiroth's Palace in his subconsciousness. Barret presumably participates directly in the battle against Sephiroth's army, as he's seen in the Smash House right before said army arrives.
Mundane Solution: Barret, when wondering how they are going to find a Phoenix Down with a large enough blessing to revive Cloud, finds that a single feather from Kazooie's rear is enough to do the trick.
Mundane Utility: The gun attached to Barret's right arm was at one point switched out for a fishing rod.
Parents as People: Barret feels that he is drifting apart from his daughter, but still strives to be there for her. He confides in and gets support from other fathers who are also in the same situation.

Geno

Series: Super Mario Bros.

Debut: Super Mario RPG

Big Damn Heroes: Is among the many video game heroes who arrive with Byleth to help defend the Smash House.
Living Toy: In his most-seen form, he's possessing a doll that belonged to Gaz of Rose Town.

Sentient Stars: His true form, seen as he's flying across different objects to possess.

Allies & Neutral Parties — Introduced During the Paldea Misadventures Arc

Paldean Starter Pokémon

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

The three Pokémon that new Trainers in the Paldea region pick from to be their Starter: Sprigatito the Grass Cat, Fuecoco the Fire Croc, and Quaxly the Duckling.

In Everyone Is Home, Kazuya takes Sprigatito, Incineroar claims Fuecoco, and Sephiroth takes Quaxly. Eventually, they reach their final evolutionary stages: Meowscarada the Magician, Skeledirge the Singer, and Quaquaval the Dancer, respectively.

Audience Participation: The webcomic's social media pages had a couple of polls to determine who between Incineroar, Kazuya, and Sephiroth would get each Starter. In the end, voters decided that Incineroar should get Fuecoco, and then voted for Kazuya to take Sprigatito, leaving Sephiroth with Quaxly.
Beautiful Singing Voice: Implied with Fuecoco, as it's allowed to sing in Byleth's choir at the 2022 Christmas Party. Extends to its final evolution Skeledirge, as it can make use of its singing voice in battle.
Cats Are Mean: Likely as a consequence of hanging out with guys like Kazuya and Incineroar, but Floragato—Sprigatito's evolved form—joins in on the group extorting money from other Trainers via its Amulet Coin.
Combat Pragmatist: Not only do they gang up on the Titan Dondozo alongside Pokémon Trainer Leaf's Pokémon, but Quaxly is seen using a wooden club handed to it by Squirtle to bash the Titan.
Dance Battler: Quaquaval, as per its species. Though so far, the only time this aspect has been shown is it... twerking at Arceus.
Deadpan Snarker: According to Incineroar, the first thing Skeledirge does after evolving is to snark at the also-newly-evolved Quaquaval's large posterior.
Green Thumb: Sprigatito is a Grass-type, and is thus seen using Grass moves. This was also Incineroar's justification for him suggesting that Kazuya take Sprigatito, due to Kazuya's experience with raising the newborn Piranha Plant.
Humanoid Female Animal: Though it's unconfirmed whether Kazuya's Meowscarada is female or not, it does have a much more feminine humanoid design than before, enough so that Incineroar—also a humanoid Pokémon but one having gone through Anthropomorphic Shift—immediately falls in love with it.
Like Goes with Like: Non-romantic version, but Kazuya uses the logic of both Incineroar and Sprigatito being cats as why Incineroar should choose Sprigatito instead of Fuecoco (who was the first choice for all three men, including Sephiroth).
Love at First Sight: The instant Floragato evolves into Meowscarada, Incineroar falls in love with it, despite knowing the drama it would cause pursuing a romance with his best friend's Pokémon.
Never Grew Up: Inadvertedly forced upon Crocalor and Quaxwell via Everstones, because Luigi thought that "Everstone" stood for "Best Friends Forever-Stone". By the time this is discovered, both Pokémon are well over Level 70, and once the stones are taken away, they instantly evolve into Skeledirge and Quaquaval, respectively, to both Pokémon's relief.
Romantic False Lead: Meowscarada ultimately ends up falling for Feral Fangs.
Stage Magician: Meowscarada's "magic" seems to work this way, judging by its ill-fated battle against Arceus.

Professor Sada

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

One of the professors of the Paldea region, and Arven's mother.

Ambiguous Situation: Initially. Considering what happens in canon—that the real Sada is dead by the time of the game's events and what the player has actually been interacting with is an AI construct that cannot leave Area Zero—it was unknown if the same applied in the comic, especially as her first physical appearance in the comic occurred well outside of Paldea's Great Crater.
- Likewise, it was also unknown if she was Arven's mother in the comic, as that is confirmed to only be the case in Scarlet; while the fact that Arven is wearing Violet's Uva Academy attire suggested that Violet's Professor Turo was his estranged parent, not Sada, the uniforms of both Naranja and Uva Academies are shown being worn in the comic by their students and by the Smash Fighters themselves, suggesting that both academies exist in the comic's canon.
- Eventually, it is revealed that she is in fact Arven's estranged mother in the comic's canon, and that the flesh-and-blood Sada is in fact still alive. A tree carving in Area Zero has a heart between the initials S and T, implying that Turo also exists and was at one point Sada's lover, and that he may be Arven's father as well.
Parental Neglect: She spent all of her time doing research in Area Zero, neglecting her son Arven which caused him to resent her.
Parents as People: Due to all of her research in Area Zero , she ended up ignoring Arven for years, resulting in their relationship deteriorating. It takes a comment from Sonic and advice from fellow parent Kazuya for her to go attempt to mend her and Arven's mother-and-son relationship.
Retcon: She first appears in Starter Struggle, but later is revealed to have been spending all of her time at the lab and doesn't recognize Incineroar, Sephiroth or Kazuya.
Spared by the Adaptation: Thanks to the Smashers’ accidental intervention, she doesn’t end up being killed by Koraidon.
Taking the Bullet: Subverted. She intended to throw herself between the feuding Koraidon to protect the docile member of the duo, much like what befell her in the actual game. However, unlike in Scarlet/Violet, she's saved from her fate when the Smashers crash-land into Area Zero and flatten the aggressive Koraidon underneath Giratina and Arceus.

Nemona

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Student Council President of Naranja Academy and the Champion of Paldea.

Blood Knight: Is eager to see Incineroar, Kazuya, and Sephiroth become powerful Trainers, presumably so she can battle them.
Demoted to Extra: In the game, Nemona is fought in the Championship battle. Not so much in this comic, where the Smashers face Sora in the Championship battle instead.
Hahaha No: Her response to Incineroar when he, Kazuya, and Sephiroth want to get out of Paldea because of how strange and glitchy the place is. Subverted in the bonus panels where she clarifies that she was kidding and they can leave anytime, though threatens to spread rumors that they got scared off by a little girl if they do.

Chell

Series: Portal

Debut: Portal

A determined young woman forced by GLaDOS to run a series of tests using the Portal Gun.

Nice Girl: Lends Sonic her portal gun so he can pick up Incineroar, Kazuya, and Sephiroth for the 2022 Christmas party.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: By lending Sonic her portal gun, this allowed some Tandemaus into the Smash Mansion.

Arven

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

A student of Uva Academy who is seeking the Herba Mystica to help his beloved partner.

Big Damn Heroes: His Toedscruel defeats the Titan Klawf menacing Sonic.

Alear

Series: Fire Emblem

Debut: Fire Emblem Engage

A Divine Dragon from the Land of Lythos with the ability to summon the spirits of past Fire Emblem heroes through her Emblem Rings.

Get Out!: Says this to Isabelle, Charizard, and Little Mac after one of her Emblem Rings is chewed up by a Maushold.
Summon Magic: She is able to summon Fire Emblem heroes through her Emblem Rings. Though unlike in her original game, she summons the actual characters—i.e., the Smash Fighters—instead of spectral versions of them, which causes problems for the Smash House.

Rockruff

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Sun and Moon

A Rock-type Puppy Pokémon that Luigi caught during his stay in Paldea.

Interspecies Friendship: Though they are both dogs, Rockruff being a Pokémon is a completely different species than the Duck Hunt dog is, but the two of them get along very well after the latter gets over his initial animosity.
Kill It with Water: Being a Rock-type, it has a weakness to Water-type Pokémon, which proved to be a problem when Luigi sent it out against Gym Leader Kofu's team of Water-types (and also that Rockruff was too underleveled for the challenge). Luckily, an olive ball that had been struck from Kazuya from halfway across Paldea took care of Kofu's Crabominable.

Larry

Debut: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

An ordinary man living an ordinary life in Paldea, serving triple duty as an office worker, as the Medali Gym Leader, and as a member of Paldea's Elite Four.

Starstruck Speechless: The combination of meeting Sora, then Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy, and then finally Sora's Arceus, leaves her in this state.

Rika

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

One of the members of Paldea's Elite Four. She is also in charge of interviewing would-be challengers, and takes that part very seriously.

Bifauxnen: Has a lanky build with no curves to her figure and wears a button-up shirt with pants and suspenders, so it's easy for one to assume that she's male upon first glance.
The Comically Serious: Interviews Kirby just as she would any other person, despite Kirby seemingly not being capable of any human speech.
Nerd Glasses: Wears glasses while interviewing Kirby.
Sore Loser: Is shown crying her eyes out after she along with the rest of the Elite Four are defeated off-screen by the Smashers. Notably, she's being comforted by Poppy, who ingame was the one who cried after being defeated.
Tomboyish Ponytail: Has a very long ponytail that goes hand-in-hand with her Bifauxnen appearance.

Professor Sada AI

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

A robotic clone of Professor Sada that she constructed to help conduct research in Area Zero.

Benevolent A.I.: Is an AI duplicate of Sada, tries to stop the real Sada from throwing herself between the fighting Koraidon, and summons Feral Fangs and Iron Magician from the Area Zero time machine for the Smashers to help them deal with the Maus infestation back home.
Black Eyes of Crazy: To tell the two Sadas apart since the real Professor Sada is alive in the comic, the AI maintains the cyan eyes with black schlera that she gets in the game when taken over by the time machine's defense mechanisms. However, the AI Professor is nothing but helpful and beneficial to the Smashers in the comic.
Ridiculously Human Robots: She looks exactly like the real Professor Sada, aside from her eyes.
Walking Spoiler: The fact that there even is a robotic clone of Professor Sada is a plot twist revealed during the climax of Scarlet/Violet's story.

Feral Fangs and Iron Magician

A duo of Paradox Pokémon summoned through the Area Zero time machine to help the Smashers deal with the Mauses infesting their House. Feral Fangs is a primitive Incineroar, while Iron Magician is a futuristic Meowscarada.

The Cavalry: They arrive alongside Incineroar, Meowscarada, and many, many other video game cats and felines to help rout the Mauses that have taken over the Smash House.
Fish out of Temporal Water: They were pulled back from their respective time periods into the present.
Floating Limbs: Iron Magician's hands, cape-wings and head are not attached to its body, although its hands are connected via swirls of light.
Original Generation: Neither Feral Fangs nor Iron Magician exist in the actual Pokémon canon, and were made up for the purposes of the comic.
Power Floats: Iron Magician is constantly seen floating.
Primitive Clubs: Feral Fangs resembles a cross between a caveman and a sabretooth tiger, and thus its tail resembles a club, which it uses as a handheld weapon.
Romantic False Lead: After all the build-up between Meowscarada and Incineroar, the former ends up falling in love with Feral Fangs, to Incineroar's shock.
Shoulder Cannon: Iron Magician's flower effectively functions in this manner.

Series: The Legend of Zelda

Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The spirit of a Zonai man who was the first King of Hyrule eons ago. He greets and guides Link and Pikachu after they reawaken in Hyrule after the Upheaval.

An Arm and a Leg: Despite being a spirit, he gave both his arms to Link and Pikachu, particularly after Link had previously lost his right arm (it's currently unknown if/how Pikachu lost his left arm).
Deadpan Snarker: Is less than impressed when he sees that Pikachu is capable of generating electricity which can power up Zonai constructs, calling the Pokémon a "rat" in the process.
Spirit Advisor: Serves this role to Link and Pikachu, as he does (with Link) in his official game appearance.

Lynel Family

Series: The Legend of Zelda

Debut: The Legend of Zelda (as a species)

A family of Lynel living in Hyrule who adopted Young Link after the tragic loss of their own child.

Adaptational Nice Guy: In the games, the Lynels are noted to be ruthless, powerful monsters who attack and kill anyone on site foolish enough to invade their territory. In the comic, they are treated more as nomads who keep to themselves but are willing to help Hylians in need (granted, this could be due to the influence of the adopted Young Link). Also, after Demon King Ganondorf is defeated, they don't disappear like Villager's mooks do.
Amazon Chaser: Implied: The father is a red Lynel, the weakest variant, while the mother is silver, the strongest kind.
Badass Family: What do you expect from a clan of Ly nel?
Battle Couple: Both parents leap right into action against the Hinox that threatens their child.
Big Damn Heroes: They along with Young Link and several other Lynels rescue Beedle from Villager's army of Bokoblins and Moblins.

Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

A strange map-maker who believes that he's a forest fairy and dresses the part, despite being in his mid-30's.

Didn't Think This Through: He never once considered that someone would bust him over the fact that he is not a true NPC due to having a starring role in a handful of games.
Non-Player Character: In-universe; he claims to be this while protesting alongside a number of actual NPCs who are objecting to the online trend of player characters pretending to be NPCs to earn money and clout. Wii Fit Trainer immediately blows his cover.

A monster scientist and researcher working for King Asgore, she is very socially awkward and a huge nerd.

Failed a Spot Check: For all the efforts she goes through to prove Phoenix Wright's and Miles Edgeworth's relationship status, she completely misses the two of them making out with each other at the cafe that they are in.
Interspecies Friendship: Is friends with Futaba Sakura. Considering their similar personality types in their respective canons, this makes sense.

Debut: Tekken 3

The biological son of Kazuya and his former lover Jun Kazama, through his father, Jin inherited the Devil Gene. After his mother's presumed death at the hands of Ogre, he was taken in to be raised and trained by his grandfather Heihachi, who actually intended to use Jin's Devil Gene for his own purposes. Thrown into the conflict between Kazuya and Heihachi, Jin intends to end the Mishima blood feud once and for all, by any means necessary.

Antagonistic Offspring: He hates his father Kazuya for being an all-around callous bastard who cares about nothing but himself. Kazuya also hates Jin, as the former sees the latter as an obstacle in his path to world domination and believing that only he should have the Devil Gene.
- When Lucina brings him to the Smash House for dinner at the behest of Chrom, a fight immediately breaks out between Jin and Kazuya.
The Cameo: Jin has a very brief appearance in the background of the second part of the Holiday 2022 comic—looking nervous as Kazuya exits the portal to the Smash House's Christmas party—before being formally introduced into the comic's story with the "Christmas Warol" special.
Official Couple: Is dating Lucina in the comic, much to the chagrin of his friend Xiao yu.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: For as much as Jin and Kazuya hate each other, they are still willing to put their differences aside and portray a loving father-son relationship in the Smash House's production of "A Christmas Warol". Of course, the instant the play ends, the two are back at each other's throats.

All Women Are Lustful: She is eager to help Link develop "scantily-clad himbo" tracker for Link's Purah Pad in hopes that it'll lead her to more hot men, and she's ecstatic upon seeing a shirtless Ganondorf. She also fantasizes about sharing a bed with him upon getting to an inn with the rest of the party and finding that there's only enough beds for three, and is dismayed when Link instead creates a wooden tub, forcing her to share with the Links and Pikachu as well. She later takes the chance to hug Ganondorf one last time before he and his gang return to Smash House.

Monstrous entities of light and darkness, respectively. They despise each other and want nothing more than to destroy the other so that the victor can do with the Smash Universe as they wish.

Tropes for Both Entities:

Eldritch Abomination: Both qualify, though Dharkon fits more in a prototypical sense.
Enemy Mine: Of a sort. Both of them are confused when Isabelle shows up on their battlefield, and then put their feud on hold to take her back to the Smash House, even acting cordial to Sakurai in the process.
Suddenly Voiced: Neither spoke—at least, in a way that we can comprehend—in their debut game, but in Everyone Is Home, they are both shown to be capable of human speech.

Tropes for Galeem:

Angelic Abomination: Galeem resembles a "Biblically-accurate angel".
Big Bad Duumvirate: Teams up with Tabuu in the Ultimate Battle Royale arc.
Half the Man He Used to Be: Happened to Galeem in the past, as when he shows up again in the comic to meet Tabuu, he is bandaged and patched down the vertical axis of his spherical core, due to the events of Sephiroth's reveal trailer.
Light 'em Up: Galeem naturally is capable of blasting massive beams of light powerful enough to completely vaporize anything that they strike.
Light Is Not Good: Galeem is a being of light and is as evil as they come.
The Bus Came Back: Galeem along with Dharkon disappeared from the comic after returning Isabelle to the Smash House. In the Ultimate Battle Royale arc, Galeem reappears and teams up with Tabuu.
Total Party Kill: The comic's recreation of World of Light's opening scene has Galeem vaporize almost all of the Smash Fighters offscreen while Sakurai's back is turned.

Tropes for Dharkon:

Dark Is Evil: Dharkon fits this to a tee.
Put on a Bus: So far, he hasn't shown up since his sole appearance in the comic.

Lady Alcina Dimitrescu

Series: Resident Evil

Debut: Resident Evil Village

The wicked matriarch of the Dimitrescu family who towers over her adversaries.

Bait-and-Switch: A strip has Mario, Luigi, Link, Snake and Pit all writing love letters, seemingly directed to Peach, Daisy, BotW Zelda, Samus and Palutena respectively, their love interests (canon or only in the comic). It turns out all the letters were actually being sent to Lady Dimitrescu, who deems the five of them simps.
The Bus Came Back: After having last appeared on a strip posted on May 2021, Lady Dimitrescu returned for the finale of the revival arc as part of Sephiroth's army of villains.
The Cameo: One of the customers who buy an Elephant Fruit from Wario and Waluigi, turning into a plump elephant woman.
Disproportionate Retribution: During part of the gang's visit to Castle Dimitrescu, Wario grabs Lady Dimitrescu's butt and pins the blame on Luigi, causing Lady Dimitrescu to slice Luigi's hands off.
Dude Magnet: Many men find her attractive, in spite of her nature, even the ones that are already in relationships. She dismisses all of them as simps however.
Giant Woman: A minor example compared to other giantesses, but she is notably much taller than the Fighters when they visit her manor.
Guest-Star Party Member: Along with many other characters from Resident Evil Village, Lady Dimitrescu is very prominent in the strips released on the first half of 2021. She stopped making appearances after a while, however, but eventually returned for the finale of the revival arc.
Heel–Face Revolving Door: During her early appearances, she was on good terms with the Smash House, even allowing Isabelle to stay at her manor for a while. She disappears from the comic for a while, but when she does return, she's been recruited as part of Sephiroth's Army of Video Game Enemies. Granted, this probably has something to do with Wario grabbing her butt (and pinning the blame on Luigi), and Isabelle kidnapping one of her daughters. As of the Tears of the Kingdom arc, she's seemingly back on good terms with the Smash House, as she partakes in the Elephant Fruit-based antics along with many other video game characters.
Statuesque Stunner: Very tall and also very elegant and good-looking.

Daniela Dimitrescu

Series: Resident Evil

Debut: Resident Evil Village

The youngest daughter of Lady Dimitrescu and the least sane of the bunch.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Well, she was pretty before, but the comic Flanderizes her more attractive aspects by removing the dark grittiness Resident Evil is known for.
Cassandra Truth: She tries to tell the rest of her family about the wacky characters she met in the Animal Crossing world, but because the characters she is describing are Funny Animals, they just think she's delusional.
Distracted by the Sexy: All it takes to direct her attention elsewhere is for Isabelle to point somewhere and say she saw Ethan Winters naked.
Real Life Writes the Plot: An in-universe example, as when Daniela gets back from the Animal Crossing world ranting about the characters she saw there, Lady Dimitrescu has her wiki page edited to say that she's delusional.
Tap on the Head: After distracting Daniela, Isabelle knocks her out with the Home Run Bat.
The Worm That Walks: She tells Isabelle that she's actually a collection of flies merged together in human form. This gets Isabelle to try and donate her to Blathers' museum.

Master Kohga

Series: The Legend of Zelda

Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

The banana-obsessed leader of the Yiga Clan.

Affably Evil: He may be about to betray Mario's group, thinking he can sacrifice them to Ganondorf, but he does sincerely cheer on Donkey Kong for his impressive banana horde.
The Bus Came Back: Makes his reappearance in the comic during the Tears of the Kingdom arc, having last appeared during the Revival arc.
Didn't Think This Through: He's so eager to see the revival of Ganondorf that he never stops to consider why a bunch of "goody two-shoes" wants to revive him as well, and winds up unintentionally antagonizing Ganondorf as a result.
Expressive Mask: The eye on his mask is able to emote as if it were a real eye. He shares this quirk with the rest of the Yiga Clan.
Failed a Spot Check: Doesn't recognize Zelda when she's unmasked right in front of him, even though he was just talking about capturing her (granted, he was referring to her Tears of the Kingdom incarnation).
Hopeless Suitor: Falls in love with Zelda when she disguises herself as a Yiga Clansman, even if he tries to play it off as her being in love with him when he tries to give her a Just Friends speech. Regardless, she clearly doesn't feel the same way about him, leading him to drown his sorrows.
Your Make Up Is Running: In the aftermath of being ditched by Zelda, his mask paint looks smudged while he's crying his heart out.

Giratina

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

The Renegade Pokémon who was previously captured by Sephiroth.

Captured Super-Entity: Is the anthropomorphic personification of antimatter and is under the ownership of Sephiroth. It also restrains and kidnaps Arceus—its creator—along with Dialga (time), Palkia (space), and Xerneas (life) under orders from Sephiroth.
Eldritch Abomination: Is the Pokémon anthropomorphic personification of antimatter and resides in a completely alien dimension.
Godzilla Threshold: Sephiroth reveals that after his change of heart, he has vowed not to use Giratina anymore. But after Sora uses Arceus to curb-stomp the Paldea gang, Sephiroth decides to call out Giratina as a desperate measure, ultimately defeating the Pokémon god. Incineroar immediately lampshades this, stating Giratina would've been helpful against Team Star's mech.
Heel–Face Turn: Implied, as its master Sephiroth has made one.
Horse of a Different Color: Serves as Sephiroth's mount.
Knotty Tentacles: Uses its tentacle wings to restrain the Smashers' Legendary Pokémon.
Olympus Mons: Along with Dialga and Palkia, it serves as one of the anthropomorphic personifications of the aspects of the universe; in its case, antimatter.
Put on a Bus: Disappears from the comic after Sephiroth's defeat at the conclusion of the Revivial Arc.
- The Bus Came Back: Makes its reappearance in the series when Sephiroth sends it out against Paldean Champion Sora's Arceus.

Patches

Series: Dark Souls

Debut: Armored Core: For Answer

A vagabound merchant who allied himself with Sephiroth during his feud with the Smash House.

The Dragon: Appears to be the second-in-command of Sephiroth's army and answers directly to him.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Abandons Sephiroth along with the other villains after the former's defeat and Change of Heart at the hands of the Smashers and Phantom Thieves.

Awoofy

Series: Kirby

Debut: Kirby and the Forgotten Land

A member of the Beast Pack that befriended Sephiroth after he fled to the Forgotten Land.

Adorable Evil Minion: Very much so.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Abandons Sephiroth along with the other villains after the former's defeat and Change of Heart at the hands of the Smashers and Phantom Thieves.

Hades

Series: Kid Icarus

Debut: Kid Icarus: Uprising

The evil and cruel ruler of the Underworld and thus the true adversary of Pit and Palutena.

It Only Works Once: Attempts to enforce this on the Rewind Spring, prompting Shulk—who had a vision of this occurring—to come up with an alternative scheme.
Our Giants Are Bigger: Just like in his original game, he towers over the Smashers, though since he's only shown lying down, the full weight of his height never comes into play.
Sissy Villain: Retains his flamboyant personality from Uprising.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: For the villains, that is. He intended to send Sephiroth a box of weapons to assist the latter in his battle against the Smash House, but the box instead contained Snake—having previously been left in the Underworld—who promptly restrains Sephiroth and allows for the Smashers to go for the finishing blow.

Sephiroth's Army of Video Game Enemies

Series: Many

A massive army of villains, mooks, and other adversaries that Sephiroth recruited to help him conquer and destroy the Smash House once and for all.

Big Bad Duumvirate: Many video game archvillains and major enemies are present in the army. This includes: Dr. Eggman, M. Bison, Dr. Wily, Pyramid Head, GLaDOS, Lady Dimitrescu, Albert Wesker, Heihachi Mishima, Freddy Fazbear, Big Smoke, Porky Minch, Senator Armstrong, the Ender Dragon, Dracula, Zeus, King Dice, Flowey, Mike Tyson, and the Abominable Snow Monster.
Et Tu, Brute?: The army includes minions of Bowser, King K. Rool, Ganondorf, and Ridley (himself a high-ranking minion of Mother Brain), meaning that they are fighting against their bosses who chose to stand with the Smash House.
Killer Rabbit: Among the mooks in the army are Rabbids in a literal sense of the trope, and Graham, a villager from Animal Crossing: New Horizons who was the target of the Author Avatar's ire in the series of strips focusing on New Horizons.
Legion of Doom: Naturally.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Once they see that Sephiroth is no longer capable of performing evil acts due to his forced heart-change, they immediately abandon him and depart the scene.
Take That!: Included among the myriad of villains and evil-doers is Bobby Kotick, the infamous CEO of Activision Blizzard.
Villain Team-Up: Somehow, Sephiroth convinced all of these villains to join together to help him take down the Smash House. The vast majority of them don't even have their own rivals as part of Smash's roster.

Heihachi Mishima

Series: Tekken

Debut: Tekken

The patriarch of the Mishima family and Kazuya's abusive father. He is the head of Mishima Zaibatsu, a global business conglomerate.

Abusive Parents: Threw Kazuya off of a cliff when the latter was only a child, which went a long way towards turning Kazuya into the man he is now.
Archnemesis Dad: To Kazuya.
Berserk Button: Is this to Kazuya, who has to be held back by the other Fighters to stop him from rushing in then and there when Sephiroth's Army invades. Even a 2D representation of Heihachi is enough to set Kazuya off, as poor Pac-Man learned the hard way when he inadvertently summoned Heihachi's sprite during his Namco Roulette taunt.
Big Bad Duumvirate: Along with many, many other video game villains as part of Sephiroth's Army.

Mara

Series: Shin Megami Tensei

Debut: Shin Megami Tensei

A figure from Buddhist lore who tried to tempt the Buddha with riches and women. Though across the Shin Megami Tensei series, he takes on a more... interesting form.

Gag Penis: Wouldn't be Mara otherwise. Pyra learns this fact the hard (heh) way when she unmasks the female tour guide Shadow inside of Sephiroth's Palace due to being distracted by its toplessness.
"Not Making This Up" Disclaimer: The author notes on their Patreon that Mara is in fact an actual enemy in the Persona (and the wider Shin Megami Tensei) series.

The Mauses (Maushold)

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

The mouse-like Family Pokémon from Paldea, they snuck into the Smash House during the 2022 Christmas party, and have started multiplying and wreaking havoc, culmunating with the House's complete takeover.

An Arm and a Leg: One of them inflicts this on Link as a parting gift after being expulsed from the Smash House.
Big Bad: They have become this for the Paldea Misadventures arc. They start off as a mere pest infestation following Christmas of 2022, but quickly multiply to the point that they are able to overwhelm the fighters, imprison and enslave them (with Villager willingly joining them) and take over the Smash House while Incineroar, Kazuya and Sephiroth are away. They also leave Luigi, Daisy, Kirby, Sora and the Duck Hunt Duo stranded in Paldea by redirecting the Portal Gun, prompting Sonic to go and rescue them.
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To Sephiroth. While Sephiroth is just one man, the Mauses are many beings made of Tandemaus and Maushold. Sephiroth alone killed most of the Smash roster via poisoning (excluding Incineroar, Kazuya, and Sora), and would sporadically try to foil any attempts at his masterpiece being undone, while the Mauses, due to being multiple entities, quickly multiply, infest, then take over the Smash Mansion and their small size allows them to keep tabs on the Smashers to ensure they don't have any plans of fighting back.
Curb-Stomp Battle: On the receiving end of this once the Cat Army arrives to liberate the Smash House.
Driven to Villainy: While they're evil, it's possible that they weren't in the first place.
- In Christmas Special Part 2, a Maushold is observing Incineroar's group, the little one gets kicked away by Sonic when he arrives.
- In the bonus panel of Poco Prison Path, the Mauses are doing what they usually do, which unfortunately made them targeted by Dark Samus, Bayonetta and Simon.
- Possibly envious of Pikachu and Pichu due to their popularity as seen in Maus Haus, where they labeled them "Inferior Mauses".
Eating the Enemy: They're the enemy in this case, as many of them are eaten by the Cat Army during the final assault.
Explosive Breeder: They multiply rapidly once they enter the Smash House. There end up being so many of them that they overwhelm the fighters and take over the Smash House while Incineroar, Kazuya, Sephiroth, Sonic, Luigi, Daisy, Kirby, Sora and the Duck Hunt Duo are away in Paldea.
Fantastic Racism: Once they take over the House, they have Pikachu and Pichu placed in a cage with a sign reading "Inferior Mauses".
From Nobody to Nightmare: They start off as little more than a mere pest infestation, but they soon multiply like crazy, overwhelm the fighters, imprison most of them and make others their slaves (with Villager willingly joining them). They also trap Luigi and Daisy's group in Paldea and try to ensure that they stay there for good so that nobody will be able to stop them.
Greater-Scope Villain: They're the cause for the Lost in the Kingdom arc by ripping off Link's arm, causing his screams to wake up Tears Ganon and separating the Zelda cast (and Pikachu).
I Have Your Wife: They made Mythra their servant by holding Rex hostage.
Killer Rabbit: They are small and cute mice Pokémon... who imprison and enslave the fighters and fully take over the Smash House.
Resourceful Rodent: They're able to trap Luigi, Daisy, Kirby, Sora and the Duck Hunt Duo in Paldea by redirecting the Portal Gun, and ultimately take over the entire Smash House while they, Sonic, Incineroar, Kazuya and Sephiroth are away. Additionally, they are also able to operate Dark Samus' armor to further terrorize the Fighters; and a couple of them in Paldea take advantage of a distracted Mickey Mouse to steal his credit card information to send back to their allies in the Smash House to buy explosives.
You Dirty Rat!: They starts off as a simple pest infestation but soon escalate into taking over the Smash House, imprisoning most of the fighters and making the rest their servants. Villager seemingly betrayed the fighters and joined the Mauses on his own free will, however.

Team Star

Series: Pokémon

Debut: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

A group of students from Naranja and Uva Academies who have banded together and started a group dedicated to fighting back against bullies (i.e.: Incineroar and his group).

Anti-Villain: They are not evil, and they are standing against Incineroar's group due to the dickish things they have done throughout their Paldean journey (mainly extorting money from other trainers while Incineroar himself stole a Miraidon from a kid).
Bully Hunter: Team Star's MO. Many of their new recruits include Trainers whom Incineroar's group had antagonized—up to including physical assault and actual theft of Pokémon—which puts Incineroar right in Team Star's cross-hairs.
Chekhov's Gunman: The random kid who got his Miraidon stolen by Incineroar ends up joining Team Star and later plays a pivotal role in taking Incineroar down. Same with the little girl who couldn't feed her Happiny due to having to give up twice the amount of money to Incineroar's group thanks to Floragato's Amulet Coin.
Defeat Means Friendship: Inverted; it's Team Star that defeats them (or rather, Incineroar), but the comic notes that the Smashers befriended Team Star afterwards.
Fair-Play Villain: Downplayed on the villain part. They give the Smashers a minute to prepare a suitable battle team before Team Star's Mechavroom goes on the offensive.
Giant Foot of Stomping: Their Mechavroom attempts this on the Smashers before being punched out by G-Max Incineroar.
Humongous Mecha: As opposed to each of the Team Star Bosses fighting the team separately with their own Star-Mobiles as in the original game, they have all combined their Revavrooms into a gigantic hulking Mechavroom, a la Power Rangers.
Late-Arrival Spoiler: The comic completely spoils that Penny is the leader of Team Star.
Team Rocket Wins: They're the least threatening group opposing the Smashers, and the only ones that actually managed to defeat them!
Time for Plan B: Penny calls for this word-for-word when it seems that G-Max Incineroar is going to defeat them. It takes the form of the other Team Star members—including the boy whose Miraidon Incineroar stole, and the girl who was unable to feed her Happiny due to Incineroar cheating her out of her money—using their Gogoats to restrain Incineroar with their vines and hold him down long enough for the Mechavroom to finish him off.
The Voiceless: Each of Team Star's Bosses and Leader have had at least one line of dialogue in the comic, except for Eri.
Wrestler in All of Us: Mechavroom defeats G-Max Incineroar by doing an elbow drop off a proverbial rope (with a nearby lighthouse serving as the pole that it jumps off of).
Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: As in the original game, Atticus speaks in this manner.

Demon King Ganondorf

Series: The Legend of Zelda

Debut: The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Another incarnation of Ganondorf. His shriveled up body was sealed deep under Hyrule Castle, until the sound of Link's screaming woke him up.

Alternate Self: He is not the Ganondorf that is already part of the main cast.
Big Bad: Of the Tears of the Kingdom arc.
Big "SHUT UP!": He yells this as he unleashes the Upheaval, wanting to silence Link's screams.
Bishōnen Line: By the time he's confronted, he's no longer the skeletal mummy seen at the start of the arc and has transformed into his more human form. However, this form is seen only for a single frame of the comic, and is already seen on the ropes in his battle with the Smashers.
Clipped-Wing Angel: Swallows his (stolen) Secret Stone to transform into a giant demonic dragon, which in game lore also destroys his personality in the process. Doesn't do him much good against the Smashers, though.
Curb-Stomp Battle: On the receiving end of this, as both of his forms are defeated by the Smashers in the span of two pages.
Draconic Abomination: His second form.
Final Boss: Appropriately the final adversary fought by the Smashers in the Tears of the Kingdom arc.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Compared to the previous Big Bads (Sephiroth and the Mauses), Demon King Ganondorf had far less of a presence in the Tears of the Kingdom arc—showing up briefly only at the beginning to start the Upheaval, attacking Toon Link, and then is shown just as briefly at the very end during the Smashers' confrontation with him—before his defeat.

Tabuu

Series: Super Smash Bros.

Debut: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The lord of Subspace, and the leader of the Subspace Army. He laid dormant in a box in the Smash Mansion's basement until Sora reawakened him.

Big Bad: Of the Ultimate Battle Royale arc.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: With Galeem.
Sealed Evil in a Can: He slept in a box for years, until he is reawakened by Sora.
Suddenly Voiced: He didn't speak at all in Brawl. Here, he is fully capable of speaking English.

Alternate Settings

A Christmas Warol

The Holiday 2023 special mini-arc establishes itself in a world based on the classic story A Christmas Carol, and as such, the characters involved have roles and personalities that line up with those in A Christmas Carol. It's actually a stage production that the Smash House put on for the community.

Wario

Wario plays the role of Ebenezer Scrooge, being the head of the WarioWare game studio that demands constant hard work from its workers for very little pay, as he keeps all the profits for himself. However, a fateful visit from a group of Spirits may change his life forever...

Bad Boss: Pay his employees next-to-nothing, and is upset that they would rather spend time with their families than crunch on video games all night long. He also expects them to come into work on Christmas Day. After his Heel–Face Turn, he gives his workers the rest of the holidays off, with pay.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Wario's not necessarily evil, but he's extremely selfish and greedy. Despite this, he has Pyoro as a pet and seems to genuinely care for it. He also genuinely cared for his friendship with Waluigi, and still fondly remembers his mentor Dr. Eggman.
Fat Bastard: One of the best examples around.
Greed: Wario's fatal flaw and the reason he's in the story's situation.
Heel–Face Turn: Just as the original Scrooge does in the original story, Wario has a complete change of heart by Christmas day thanks to everything he saw the night before, and goes out of his way make things right for everyone he's wronged over the course of the story.
Heel Realization: Upon seeing that his greed made it so that Kazuya could not afford to feed his family well or afford the medical care needed to save Tiny Jin, resulting in the Bad Future where Jin is dead as well as seeing that absolutely no one cares that Wario himself is also dead here, Wario realizes just what a horrible person he's been and decides to change his ways.
It's All About Me: Doesn't care about anything except making loads of money, which he doesn't share with his workers or even romantic partners; the latter being the cause of the breakdown in his relationship with Captain Syrup.
The Scrooge: Of course.
Workaholic: Works constantly to earn as much money as he can for himself.

Chai

Wario's nephew, being the stand-in for Scrooge's own nephew Fred.

Artificial Limbs: His right arm is a mechanical replacement, much like in his original game Hi-Fi RUSH.
Happily Married: To Cadence, with whom they have two sons PaRappa and Boyfriend.
Nice Guy: Is an all-around nice guy who tries to invite his uncle over for Christmas despite how unpleasant the man is. He also apologizes on Wario's behalf to Professor Layton and Aerith Gainsborough when the latter two are yelled at by Wario for trying to sell him flowers and tea.

Kazuya Mishima

Wario's current business partner. Despite this, Kazuya is paid peanuts just like the rest of WarioWare's employees, but still manages to make a happy home for his family. He is the stand-in for Bob Cratchit.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Being that he's playing the role of Bob Cratchit, Kazuya is far nicer here than he is in the main comic continuity, and especially his canon self.
Good Parents: Surprising so, as unlike his canon counterpart, Kazuya genuinely loves and cares for his son Jin, helping the frail boy into the dining room so he can eat their meager Christmas Eve meal.^note
Happily Married: Married to Jun, who both have children in Jin and Asuka (who canonically is Kazuya's niece).
Outliving One's Offspring: In the Bad Future, he's seen clutching Jin's cane at his grave, as the sickly boy had since perished by the time Wario visits the future.
Parents as People: Is a happily-married and devoted father, but thanks to Wario's greed, he can't afford to give his family a decent meal or—more seriously—the medical care Jin needs to survive his illnesses. Thanks to Wario's Heel–Face Turn in the end, he's finally able to adequately care for his family.

Waluigi

Wario's former business partner who is deceased by the time the story begins, Waluigi is the stand-in for Jacob Marley. Just as greedy as Wario is in life, due to such greed, he has been punished to wander the Earth in chains for all eternity, and appears before Wario to attempt to keep him from meeting the same fate.

Chained by Fashion: He's forced to carry the chains of his greed and selfishness for all eternity.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Treasured his friendship with Wario, enough so that he appears before Wario to try to prevent him from meeting the same fate that befell him.
Greed: Just as greedy as Wario was, which condemned him in death.
Insistent Terminology: Is technically "Wagooigi" in death, not Waluigi.
Jacob Marley Warning: His role in the story, of course.
Posthumous Character: Is dead by the time this mini-story arc begins.
Walking the Earth: His punishment for his lifetime of greed, having to wander the Earth while covered with chains.

The Spirits of Christmas

The three Spirits of Christmas. Isabelle and a yellow Luma are the Spirit of Christmas Past; King Dedede is the Spirit of Christmas Present; and Sans^note is the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come.

Bad Future: The Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come takes Wario to one of these, to show him what will happen if Wario refuses to change his ways.
Big Fun: Dedede is a the physically-largest of the Spirits and the most jovial of them all.
Black Cloak: The Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come sports one.
Glowing Eyes of Doom: The Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come has a single glowing eye under its hood.
In the Hood: The Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come is always wearing a hood that completely obscures its face in darkness, except for its single glowing eye.
Invisible to Normals: Averted with the Dedede, as during his trip with Wario, others are actually able to see them, which ultimately leads to the police busting Professor Layton's and Aerith's drug operation.
Light 'em Up: Isabelle carries a Luma—a star-like creature—on her head.
Manly Facial Hair: Dedede as the Spirit of Christmas Present sports quite a large beard (which may also serve as a Brick Joke or Call-Back to the Holiday 2022 comic, in which Isabelle rejected King Dedede as Santa because the beard he wore wasn't seen as good enough).
No Shirt, Long Jacket: His coat is opened above the belt, but he's wearing no shirt underneath, exposing his chest and chest hair.
Pensieve Flashback: What Isabelle and Luma do as their part: showing Wario his past and the person he used to be, before becoming who he is now.
Scare 'Em Straight: All of the Spirits + Waluigi attempt to put this on Wario, but it's the most explicit with the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come.
Small Role, Big Impact: Because Dedede and Wario are already in the present, others are able to see them, which leads to a concerned citizen reporting them to the police after the two visited Fred & Pep's Pizza joint, which then leads to the police busting and subsequently gunning down the druglords Professor Layton and Aerith.
The Speechless: The Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come never speaks. ...Or rather, it's not supposed to speak, but it introduces itself as "The Spirit of Christmas Future" before Sephiroth both corrects Sans and tells him that he's supposed to be silent.
Totem Pole Trench: The Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come turns out to be this, being not only Sans but Sephiroth as well. It's the first hint that A Christmas Warol is actually a stage production instead of a true Alternate Universe.
Was It Really Worth It?: Altogether, the Spirits show Wario the cost that his greed will bring upon himself and everyone else in his life.

Captain Maple Syrup

Plays the part of Belle. Captain Syrup was once Wario's lover in the past, but his sheer greed caused her to dump him. Is now Happily Married to Professor Layton. ...Or so she thinks.

Ascended Extra: At least, compared to the Belle of the original story, who did not appear beyond the Past segment. Here, she's still around in the Present.
Greed: Described herself as also being greedy, and is how she and Wario initially bonded. But even she finds herself disgusted at the sheer depths of Wario's greed when he refuses to share any of WarioWare's profits with her, which causes her to leave him. It's unclear whether or not she overcame her greedy impulses by the present day.
Happily Married: To Professor Layton. Or so she's led to believe.
Love Interest: To Wario in the past.
The One That Got Away: The two of them bonded over their shared greed, but the degree at which Wario's greed exceeded hers caused a rift in their relationship, resulting in her dumping him.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After realizing that Wario's greed far outpaces her own (he refused to share any of the company's profits with her), she dumps him and leaves WarioWare.
What Happened to the Mouse?: We never get to see how she reacted to the news that her husband Layton was dead, or if she ever found out about his secret double-life. In fact, aside from the casting call, the last we see of her is asleep on their shared bed post-coitus.

"Tiny Jin" Kazama

Kazuya's son, who as his moniker implies, plays the role of Tiny Tim. A very sickly young man whom Kazuya and the rest of the family care for.

Death of a Child: Well, Jin isn't exactly a child, but otherwise—as Jin is Tiny Tim here—this applies in the Bad Future.
Delicate and Sickly: Tiny Jin is extremely sick and frail, as Kazuya cannot afford to get him the medical care that he needs. He needs a cane to help get around.
Foregone Conclusion: He's playing Tiny Tim. It should already be clear what becomes of him in the Bad Future.
Ironic Name: He's called "Tiny Jin", but he's portrayed as the young adult that Jin is in the Tekken series. He's even wearing extremely poor-fitting clothing more fit for a small child.
Popping Buttons: "Tiny" Jin is far too big to be wearing the clothes that he's shown to have, which can barely fit him.
Unexpected Character: One might be forgiven for assuming that the role of Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit's son in the original story, would be played by Piranha Plant, Kazuya's adoptive son in the comic's main continuity. Instead, he's played by Jin Kazama, Kazuya's canonically-estranged-and-antagonistic son, and here, the two have a true father-son bond. At least, they do until the play is over.

Professor Layton

A nice, humble man who sells flowers and tea with Aerith Gainsborough during Christmastime. Is married to Captain Syrup, with whom he has a daughter, Nanako. Turns out, he is not who he seems...

Adaptation Expansion: His character has no real counterpart in the original Christmas Carol story, and thus his plotline is unique to this telling of the classic tale.
Adaptational Jerkass: The Layton in this mini-arc is a druglord and criminal, hiding it behind the mask of a friendly husband and father.
Bad Boss: The new pizza restaurant Fred & Pep's Pizza is a front for Layton's drug racket, and he threatens Peppino Spagetti with grave consequences if he finds out that Pep and the others had been messing around with his Wonder Flower stash. (Which, it turns out, they had been.)
