* SkillGateCharacter: She's this in comparison to Marth. Like most incarnations of Link and Kirby, Lucina is well-adjusted to casual play; she has good mobility, her lack of a sword sourspot allows the player to throw around her fairly quick attacks as they like, and her special attacks (particularly Counter) can be devastating. However, at higher levels, foes can take advantage of Lucina's lack of range and the lag on her attacks, which drives her towards an extremely aggressive rushdown gameplay style that simply doesn't allow them any time to exploit this.

->Lucina thrusts his sword forward, dealing increased damage to shields. The move can be charged for increased power.

->The dog summons a flock of pixellated ducks that swoop down in front of him. Any opponents hit by these ducks are knocked between the Wild Gunmen and the ''Hogan's Alley'' gang, who engage in a shootout with the victims caught in the crossfire.

* BreakoutCharacter: While Lucina is a very popular character in ''Fire Emblem'', she was included in ''Smash'' as a low-priority MovesetClone. However, while both Lucina and her more unique/higher-priority companion Robin got a lot of exposure from ''Smash'', she went to overshadow Robin in becoming a major icon of ''Fire Emblem'' as a whole, receiving more merchandise and promotion than Robin as well as other franchise characters in ''Smash'' such as Ike and Roy.

* BadassNormal: Like her predecessors, she's a normal human with incredible sword expertise.

* BirthmarkOfDestiny: A birthmark known as the Brand of the Exalt (also known as the Mark of Naga) appears on the body of almost every member of the royal family of Ylisse, as a symbol of the blood pact between their ancestors and the Divine Dragon Naga. In Lucina's case, her Brand is located on her left eye, overlapping and encircling the iris.

* DropTheHammer: Junior uses a hammer for his up aerial, and while he is airborne from his recovery, he pulls out a hammer to use for aerials until he lands. He also uses a squeaky mallet for his pummel. The Koopalings also use the hammer for aerials in ''[=3DS/Wii U=]'', but ''Ultimate'' changes it so that they use the magic staffs from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''.

* {{Bishonen}}: Maybe not as much as Marth, but male Robin is still quite pretty, and has facial features that are only slightly more masculine than his female counterpart.

* {{Bishonen}}: He may not reach the same levels as Marth, but his blue eyes, blond hair, and soft facial features still make him a pretty boy.

** One of male Robin's costumes is a ''[[Franchise/FinalFantasy Final Fantasy]]''-style White Mage robe. That red-and-white garb on a [[BlackMage purely offensive spellcaster]] is just so plain ''wrong'' it's funny.

** Larry: [[TheBabyOfTheBunch The Youngest]] / [[BlindIdiotTranslation Leader of the Seven Minions]][[note]][[http://www.mariowiki.com/Larry#Super_Smash_Bros._for_Nintendo_3DS.2FWii_U His Japanese title is "Boss Minion"]], likely referencing that he orders Bowser's lesser minions generally or that he's a minion among bosses since he's the youngest Koopaling. He is not considered to be the leader of the Koopalings in Mario canon in the 'in charge' sense, though he is usually [[DesignatedPointMan the first to be fought]], so [[FromACertainPointOfView in a sense]], he does 'lead the charge'.[[/note]]

The Koopalings, a group of young Koopas who often help Bowser Jr. and his father in their evil schemes (and Bowser Jr. is hinted to be their boss), are playable through alternate skins.

* CarFu: His Clown Car can transform into a go-kart that rams into enemies.

* DropTheHammer: Junior uses a hammer for his up aerial, and while he is airborne from his recovery, he pulls out a hammer to use for aerials until he lands. He also uses a squeaky mallet for his pummel.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted in Roy's case, as both he and Roy from ''Fire Emblem'' appear together. The announcer even says the "Roy" name twice, each in a different way.
* PaletteSwap: Averted, instead of getting alternate color schemes, he gets the other Koopalings as alternate costumes. In the case of the Clown Car itself, this trope is played straight.

* SiblingTeam: Although Junior isn't known to be their biological sibling, the Koopalings are this in the trailer.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Official screenshots and trailers suggest that Roy Koopa and Roy have this kind of relationship with each another.

* ThisIsADrill: One of the many gadgets on his Clown Car is a set of drills.
* WarriorPrince: Bowser Jr. is the Koopa King's only son, and not afraid to get on the fight himself.
* YourSizeMayVary: To use the same animations as Junior, some of the Koopalings have been resized. Heavyweights Roy and Morton are noticeably much smaller than normal, while small fry Lemmy is much bigger than normal. Iggy is shorter than usual and has the same body shape as he did before his ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' character redesign. Ludwig's impressive hairdo also lost some of its bulk to prevent HitboxDissonance. ''Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'' adjusts their appearances to better match their current sizes, but they are still slightly shorter/taller than usual.

->See Characters/FireEmblemAwakeningTheLords for more information on the character in their origin series.

* ShockAndAwe: Robin's [[WeaponOfChoice signature and preferred element]]. Their Neutral Special basically combines all the common Thunder spells (Thunder, Elthunder, Arcthunder, and Thoron) into one move, and the Levin Sword is infused with lightning. Male Robin is also shown using a Thunder tome and the Levin Sword in the official artwork and in the complementary artwork made by the artist for ''Awakening'', while female Robin is shown with the Levin Sword and another tome in her hand. Lampshaded by the battle caption introducing male Robin:

->See the ''Characters/XenobladeChronicles1Protagonists'' character page for more information on the character in his origin series.

* SpiritualSuccessor: She's similar to Roy in that she's a MovesetClone of Marth without a sweet spot at the tip of her sword (but unlike Roy - whose sweetspot mechanic favors the base of his sword more - she lacks it altogether), but that's about where the similarities end.

* GlacierWaif: ''4'' only. Despite being of average height, Shulk is classified as a heavyweight, [[GlassCannon Smash Art]] notwithstanding. Averted in ''Ultimate'', where Shulk is instead a middlweight (weighing the same as Luigi).

** ''3DS/Wii U'': Duck Hunt in both versions. Amusingly, it wasn't an available stage in ''3DS'' until it was later added for free in an update, so in early versions of the game they are associated with the miscellanous series stage list[[note]][=PictoChat=] 2, Balloon Fight, Living Room, Find Mii and Tomodachi Life[[/note]] and are unlocked in Battlefield.
