Players have proven this rumor false both in premise and in practice. It would be highly unlikely that Sega (which, during ''Melee''{{'}}s development, was not yet a full-fledged third-party company, and thus was in competition with Nintendo) would sell its characters for use in a Nintendo game. There are no provisions to include Sonic and Tails in ''Melee''{{'}}s [[All-Star Mode]] (which showcases every playable character in the game), and an [[Notice|in-game message]] also indicates that {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}} is the last unlockable character. In addition, another message tells the player that they have unlocked every trophy. As beating single-player modes with Sonic and Tails would yield new trophies, this is impossible. Along with all of this, analyzing the game data reveals absolutely nothing of Sonic or Tails existing in the game.

Additionally, during an interview with someone at the head of SEGA, they claimed that they had talked to ''Smash'' series director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] about Sonic appearing in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', but had ultimately decided not to put him in the game because the game was nearly complete in its development and Sonic had no existing games on any Nintendo system at the current time, although ''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle'' was currently in development.
