==Origin==
==Origin==
The Flying Men are a race of humanoid bird creatures that can be found in {{s|wikibound|Magicant}} in both ''{{iw|wikibound|Mother|video game}}'' and ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'', where {{s|wikibound|Ninten}} or [[Ness]] can recruit them to help in battles while exploring Magicant. Should a Flying Man be defeated, however, it will be permanently dead and a grave will appear outside their house. Like in ''Smash'', there are only five Flying Men available in both ''Mother'' and ''EarthBound''.

Flying Men occasionally appear in the [[Magicant]] stage, coming out of their house on the top right platform. When passed by or attacked by a character, they start fighting alongside them, brawling against their opponents and even [[Team Battle|team]]mates.

Flying Men move around and approach opponents by running and jumping, and have an infinite amount of midair jumps. They have two attacks at their disposal:

*Flying Cross Chop, a dash in the air towards an opponent in an attempt to body slam them.

*Somersault Kick, an upward kick similar to [[Mario]]'s [[up aerial]], which can be performed both on the ground and in the air.

Both attacks inflict 12% damage and have high base knockback which can KO an opponent as early as 90%.

Flying Men can be attacked and grabbed like a regular fighter, and be launched farther the more [[damage]] they accumulate. When they are [[KO]]ed, either by being launched beyond the blast line or by taking enough damage, a small tombstone appears near their house. Only five Flying Men in total will spawn in a single match, and if all five Flying Men have been KOed, they will no longer appear for the remainder of the match.

The Flying Men on Magicant appear as 2D sprites, similar to their original appearance in ''EarthBound'' (albeit with new, more fluid animations). During development, a 3D model was also created, but scrapped in favor of the sprite; it lessened the strain on the 3DS hardware, and the team felt it looked better in comparison. The scrapped model was modified to be used for the Flying Man Mii costume.<ref>https://nintendoeverything.com/sakurai-on-why-smash-bros-3ds-came-out-before-the-wii-u-version-changes-in-final-smashes-stage-tidbit/</ref><ref name="nindream">http://sourcegaming.info/2016/02/21/nintendodream3/</ref>
