{{Nihongo|'''''[https://www.ssbwiki.com/Super_Smash_Bros._(series) Super Smash Bros.]'''''|大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ|Dairantō Smash Brothers}} is a series of crossover fighting games published by [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]], featuring characters from franchises established on Nintendo systems.

==''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/for Wii U''==
==''[https://www.ssbwiki.com/Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl Super Smash Bros. Brawl]''==
''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' are the fourth and fifth installments in the franchise. While the [[Rhythm Heaven Series]] existed before the third game, this is the first game in the series tho include it in some form.
''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' is mentioned among the titles listed in the Chronicle in Japanese versions of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. However, no other content from the series is featured anywhere else in the game.

In ''for Nintendo 3DS'''s Smash Run mode, the player runs through a course while fighting off many enemies from various Nintendo franchises. Among these enemies is the [[Sneaky Spirits (Characters)|Sneaky Spirit]].
[[Sneaky Spirits (Characters)|Sneaky Spirits]] appear as a common enemy in [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Smash_Run Smash Run] in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. They move just like they did in the original game, by popping up and down in the ground, moving to the right slowly, then jumping to the left to do it again. The popping can damage a player. Since they hide often and move quickly, hitting them can be difficult. However, they are weak otherwise, and managing to hit them enough sends them flying off, dropping a rare star boost, which ups all the stats of the player's character.

When the reporter is amazed and says, "Whoa, you go, big guy!" the wrestler will flex and pose. Finally, when the other reporters request the wrestler to "pose for the fans!" he will do just that. Wubbadubbadubba, that's cool!
Additionally, icon data for a [https://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/01/26/smash-4-wii-u-data-discoveries/ Rhythm Heaven character] appears in the data for the game, but goes unused.

==Trivia==
* Karate Joe's {{UK}} trophy description seems to be a reference to the [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pretty-cool-guy "pretty cool guy" internet meme].
* Incidentally, there happens to be an icon data for a Rhythm Heaven character in SSB4 titled ''Rhythm'', but it was never used in the final game.
** Strangely, this icon can only be found in the code of the Wii U version and not the 3DS version.
