*[[ | *A number of characters were intended to represent Nintendo's early NES era, a role that was ultimately fulfilled by the [[Ice Climbers]]. Among the other considered characters included [[Balloon Fighter]], the player character from {{uvm|Urban Champion}}, [[Bubbles]] from {{uv|Clu Clu Land}}, and an ''{{uv|Excite}}bike'' racer.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/1009/index.html</ref>. | ||
*[[Ayumi Tachibana]] from [[List of minor Nintendo universes#Detective_Club|''Famicom Detective Club'']] was considered as a playable character, as confirmed by Sakurai on a {{iw|wikipedia|Niconico}} interview in 2016. She was ultimately dropped as a candidate as Sakurai felt her series, more than any other in the game, would be wildly unfamiliar to international audiences.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cu0ocEusrjs</ref> | |||
*[[ | *[[Lucas]], the protagonist of the then-unreleased ''Mother 3'', was initially supposed to appear as a replacement to [[Ness]]. When ''Mother 3'' was cancelled for a Nintendo 64 release and instead moved to the Game Boy Advance for development, Ness was kept in ''Melee''. Lucas later became playable in ''Brawl'', but did not replace Ness. | ||
*Reportedly, [[Hideo Kojima]], a close personal friend of Sakurai, asked him if [[Solid Snake]] from ''Metal Gear Solid'' could be considered as a playable character in ''Melee''. One of the reasons why Kojima asked Sakurai is because his son wanted to see Snake in ''Smash''<ref>https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1350186268542566402/photo/1</ref>. By the time of Kojima's request, however, ''Melee'' was too far in development for the developers to feasibly add another character<ref>http://nsidr.com/archive/e-3-interview-super-smash-bros-brawl-miyamoto-sakurai/</ref>. Snake later became playable in ''Brawl''. | |||
*Former head of Sonic Team, Yuji Naka, [[:File:YujiNakaInterview.jpg|stated in an interview with ''EDGE'' magazine]] that [[Sonic]] was strongly considered for ''Melee'', but was not added due to time constraints.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK1Kp679FGc&feature=youtu.be&t=1899</ref> Sonic later became playable in ''Brawl'', and he also became the basis of a [[List of rumors#Sonic and Tails hoax|famous hoax]]. | |||
*[[Wario]] was strongly considered for ''Melee's'' roster, and on a fan questionnaire on [[Smabura-Ken]], Sakurai stated that he would add Wario to ''Melee'' if he had more time to add just one more character.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return512.html</ref> Sakurai also explained that he had opted to instead allocate the team's limited development time to implementing other characters such as {{SSBM|Mewtwo}} or {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Roy}}, and he also wanted to avoid having an excessive number of ''Mario'' characters.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/syukeiken/return576.html]</ref> Wario later became playable starting in ''Brawl''. | |||
