{{disambig2|the ''WarioWare'' character|other uses|Ashley (disambiguation)}}
'''Ashley''' ({{ja|アシュリー|Ashurī}}, ''Ashley'') is a recurring character from the {{uv|WarioWare}} series.

==Origin==
[[File:AshleyOrigin.png|thumb|left|Ashley casting a spell in ''Game & Wario''.]]
Ashley is a young witch-in-training who lives in a [[mariowiki:Ashley's Mansion|haunted mansion]] in {{iw|mariowiki|Diamond City}}, making her debut as an employee of WarioWare, Inc. in ''{{iw|mariowiki|WarioWare: Touched!}}'' She is typically accompanied by her familiar, a small shape-shifting imp named {{iw|mariowiki|Red|WarioWare series}}, who commonly takes the form of her magic wand. Just like [[Kat and Ana]] from the same series, in most ''WarioWare'' titles they offer a different short story with a set of microgames to go with it.

Ashley is commonly depicted in her stories as aloof and studious with her magic, though her spells often backfire due to her lack of experience. She is also very quick to anger, though she otherwise shows little emotion. Despite this, her theme song reveals that she considers herself lonely, ultimately wanting to have more friends. Ashley is often associated with food, with her plotlines often involving themes such as getting trapped in a candy world, defeating a hungry demon stealing food from other demons, and fighting off sentient poison {{iw|mariowiki|Mandrake}}s. Her microgames are, starting in {{iw|mariowiki|WarioWare D.I.Y.}}, typically themed on food.

Throughout the 2010s, Ashley would see use as a sort of "unofficial mascot" for Nintendo, making appearances in contexts such as comics for the Japanese Nintendo Kids Space website, 3DS themes, and a notably large amount of badges in {{uv|Nintendo Badge Arcade}}. ''Badge Arcade'' would also feature an April Fools' prank in 2017 depicting a fictitious video game created by [[Arcade Bunny]] titled "''Crazy Galaxy''", in which players would take the role of a teacher educating students of an astronaut school who have been stranded in space as they return home, in which one enemy would be an aged-up, sci-fi-themed, guitar-playing version of Ashley named "Ms. Ashley". The concept of ''Crazy Galaxy'' was described in-depth with character designs shown and made avaliable as stickers, though the actual gameplay was left a secret by Arcade Bunny, with his reasoning being fears of plagiarism.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
[[File:AshleyWiiU.jpeg|thumb|250px|Ashley's cloud attack.]]
When summoned, Ashley conjures up a cloud with an area of effect using Red's wand form. Any enemies caught in the cloud will [[slowdown|move twice as slowly]], take damage, take 10% damage when eating [[food]], and have various effects applied to them. The effects she can apply are: [[bury]]ing ({{Fractions|10|28}}), reversing ({{Fractions|6|28}}), [[tripping]] or forcing [[helpless]]ness when attacking or grabbing ({{Fractions|4|28}}; lasts 2.5 seconds; grounded or aerial, respectively; doesn't apply to pummels, throws, or taunt attacks), invisibility ({{Fractions|2|28}}), [[Poison Mushroom|tiny]] ({{Fractions|4|28}}), and preventing forward [[dash]]ing or grounded [[full hop]]s ({{Fractions|2|28}}; lasts 2.5 seconds; doesn't halt in-progress dashes or turnaround dashes). In the Wii U version, Ashley's hair and eyes turn white and red respectively when she conjures the cloud. Unlike her appearance in the ''WarioWare'' games, she does not have any voice clips.

Ashley has a spawn rate of {{Fractions|32|1254}}. She cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies to both games and only the base form unless noted otherwise):

{{clrl}}

===In [[Smash Tour]]===
Ashley's trophy appears as a blue item that can be used by the player to reduce the speed of the spinner, allowing the user to more easily roll a specific number.

===As a costume===
[[File:DLC Costume Ashley costume.jpg|thumb|left|A {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}} dressed as Ashley.]]
A costume for [[Mii Swordfighter]]s based on Ashley was released on February 3rd, 2016 as part of the final wave of [[downloadable content]].

Outside of her above appearances, ''Ashley's Song'' reappears as music in both versions of ''Smash 4'', as music on [[WarioWare, Inc.]] in the 3DS version and music on [[Gamer]] in the Wii U version. On WarioWare, Inc., the Japanese version is only available in Japanese releases of the game, while the English version is included in other versions; on Gamer, the Japanese release features the ''Brawl'' arrangement alongside a new arrangement, while international releases include both the English and Japanese versions.

{{Trophy

|desc-ntsc=This young witch-in-training lives in a haunted mansion in Diamond City. She's shy and quick to anger, but secretly she wants more friends. When she appears on the battlefield, she will summon a damaging zone of darkness around her. The zone causes a variety of effects, none of them good.
|desc-pal=Who's the girl next door living in the haunted mansion? You'd better learn her name, 'cause she's Aa-ashley! This little witch loves cursing people, but also wants more friends. Talk about wanting to have your cake and eat it, too... In battle, she conjures a zone of darkness that both damages and shrinks other fighters!

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As an Assist Trophy===
Ashley returns as an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', functioning mostly identically to her ''Smash 4'' appearance. She is no longer able to trip or cause helplessness and the effect that prevents dashing now applies to all forms of dashing. Her design is pretty much the same as the previous game, but now she has red eyes matching her design seen in [[mariowiki:File:Ashley3dshometheme.png|promotional artwork from the 2010s]]. [[Training Mode]] describes her Assist Trophy with the following: ''Creates a cursed zone of darkness. Unable to be KO'd.''

Ashley has a spawn rate of {{Fractions|32|2086}}. She cannot be summoned on the following stages in a standard versus match (applies only to the base form unless noted otherwise):
<div style="column-width:25em; -moz-column-width:25em; -webkit-column-width:25em;">
*[[3D Land]]
*[[Arena Ferox]]
*[[Brinstar]]
*[[Cloud Sea of Alrest]]
*[[Corneria]] (all)
*[[Dream Land]]
*[[Garden of Hope]]
*[[Jungle Japes]] (all)
*[[Magicant]]
*[[Mario Circuit]]
*[[Paper Mario]]
*[[PictoChat 2]]
*[[Reset Bomb Forest]]
*[[Skyloft]]
*[[Spiral Mountain]]
*[[Spirit Train]]
*[[Super Mario Maker]] (all)
*[[The Great Cave Offensive]]
*[[Tortimer Island]]
*[[Wrecking Crew]]
</div>

Ashley cannot be summoned if the following items are active and vice versa:
*Items: [[Boss Galaga]] and a third [[Dragoon]] part. A third [[Daybreak]] part will prevent Ashley from appearing but Ashley won't prevent the Daybreak part from appearing
*[[Poké Ball]] Pokémon: [[Palkia]], [[Togepi]], and [[Zoroark]].
*Assist Trophies: [[Arcade Bunny]], [[Color TV-Game 15]], [[Devil]], [[Dr. Kawashima]], [[Flies & Hand]], [[Moon]], [[Nightmare]], [[Skull Kid]], [[Squid Sisters]], [[Thwomp]], and [[Yuri Kozukata]].

===As a costume===
Ashley's outfit for {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}s also returns, being purchasable from the shop in the base game.

===As a background character===
The Ashley sticker returns on the same spot as before, now using artwork from ''WarioWare Gold''.
{{clr}}

===Spirit===
Ashley also appears as a Legend-class [[support spirit]]. In [[World of Light]], her spirit is located in the village section of [[The Light Realm]].

Her spirit battle uses a {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} puppet fighter wearing the Ashley Wig and Outfit and is fought on the [[WarioWare, Inc.]] stage. She is fought along a [[Tiny]] {{SSBU|Ridley}} representing her familiar, Red. During the battle, Ashley appears as a hostile Assist Trophy before the Mii Swordfighter puppet fighter appears. Also, the controls will be reversed, referencing Ashley's ability to cast magic spells.

Ashley can be [[summon]]ed using the cores of {{h2|List of spirits (Castlevania series)|Charlotte Aulin}}, {{h2|List of spirits (Kirby series)|Star Rod}}, one Neutral type, and one support type.
