User:The Jacketed Terrapin/List of mentioned characters

This page is a draft. Feel free to contribute to this page as you would a mainspace page.

This is a list of characters, group of characters, or fictional species who do not make any physical appearances whatsoever in a Super Smash Bros. installment, but have been mentioned at least once in said game. These can include gameplay-related quotes (taunts, victory quotes, quotes during attacks or Final Smashes, etc.), character profiles, trophy descriptions, Tips, stage conversations (Codec Conversations and Palutena's Guidance), or dialogue in character trailers.

Rules:

-Alter egos of certain characters are not accepted. However, alternate forms that could be considered different characters (such as Mr. L from Super Paper Mario) are an exception. Subspecies of certain species are also fair game.

-For a species or group to qualify for the list, no members of said species/group must make a physical appearance.

-Groups must have a specific title to qualify. Something like the Happy Happyist cult from EarthBound is allowed, but stuff such as the general concept of Pokémon Trainers or Animal Crossing villagers are not. Additionally, something such as "an enemy skilled at physical attacks" in Fighter Kirby's Melee trophy description is not qualified as it does not specify which enemy it is referring to (in this case, the two possible candidates are either Knuckle Joe or Iron Mom).

-In regards to player characters, only those who have a physical appearance in their games will be listed.

-Unless they are referred to by name, characters who are only ever mentioned in their series will not be listed here.

-Characters whose only mention is through a "title" (such as a game or song title) are not qualified for the list.

-Only fictionalized versions of real people are qualified. Stuff such as Will Wright's indirect mention in Dr. Wright's trophy description in Melee is not eligible.
