Pokemon characters
If pokemon trainer, Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard are counted as separate playable characters the pokemon series has more playable characters than all other series

Wario KOed by Pitfall
If Wario is on his bike and rides over a pitfall item someone planted, he'll fall off his bike and be sent flying. Your welcome to try it out. Ocolith

Giga Bowser < Super-Bowser
In Brawl, Giga Bowser is weaker in damage giving than a Bowser, who has used a Super-Mushroom. ZidaneTribal

What do you mean by weaker? In terms of damage or knockback? Or both? --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 12:14, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Mr. Game and watch Jump
In brawl, When Mr.game and watch uses 'Fire' in midair, if another player is very close or jumps very close to it, it will also send them up. User:MetaKnighter

That's pretty well known.

Ray guns
In Melee, everyone blinks when they fire the ray gun. Except for Mewtwo's, who's eyes just turn green. Oninova (talk) 06:42, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Time for a clean up
As Brawl is finally out, should all the tips now relate to Brawl rather than melee ?? Maybe the Melee ones can be backed up on this page ?? 2L84U 08:30, February 19, 2008 (EST)

reorganization
Changed "Jigglypuff can recover both higher and farther", removing the reference to vertical distance. Ice Climbers actually have the best vertical recovery (see http://hometown.aol.com/oovideogamegodoo/myhomepage/profile.html, section "Total Jumping Height"). --nealdt 07:33, March 3, 2007 (GMT)

Total jumping height includes the first jump though, of which Jiggly's is the one of the lowest. And I have a countersource: Magus 420's AR-assisted recovery graph. Though my fun fact has outlived its usefulness, there are just too many now! 04:58, March 7, 2007 (GMT)

April Fools Day
Would it be alright if I added a little joke to the DYK and included a link to a page that said "APRIL FOOLS!"? Just for the day, of course. Since AFD is very soon, I'll wait for about half an hour, and if there aren't any objections, I'll add it. WaluigiIsAwesome 09:03, April 1, 2007 (GMT)
 * Nobody seems to object, so I added in a fact that said Mario is no longer in SSBB, with a link to my userpage, which is customized to say "ARPIL FOOLS!!! Hah! You fell for it, didn' you?" WaluigiIsAwesome 09:27, April 1, 2007 (GMT)

why are there so many?
seriously, we don't need 50 entries under this thing. we should figure out a way to cycle through (listing 10 at a time) or we should only keep the notable ones. some of the stuff up there are WGASA material. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 23:46, October 30, 2007 (EDT)

Facticity check
Was SSB really supposed to be on the SNES? I've never heard that before.

Sonic the Hedgehog in Melee
I'm sorry, I've never heard of that. AFAIK, Sonic the Hedgehog was never considered for Smash until 2 years ago.


 * It was a big EGM April Fool's Joke, look it up. Also sign your posts. Gargomon251 22:16, February 24, 2008 (EST)
 * My mistake, I wasn't sure what you were saying. Well I don't know for sure, I think he was plausibly CONSIDERED....Gargomon251 22:18, February 24, 2008 (EST)

Verification
So how do we tell if these facts are real or not? Should we have sources on a talk page or something? FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 06:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Who's the wise guy?!
I recently added that Mr. Game & Watch becomes partially 3D when he picks up a Metal Box, but someone removed it! WHO EVER DID NEEDS TO CHECK THAT ABSOLUTELY CORRECT FACT! I RESPECT THIS WIKI A LOT AND WOULD NEVER LIE ON IT! SO WHOEVER REMOVED MY INFO CAN CHECK FOR THEMSELVES AND FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE MORON FOR DOING SUCH A THING WHEN I'M THE ONE WHO DISCOVERED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!--King Dedede Kirby 17:52, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's true, but maybe not worth a 'did you know' - Ashran111 (talk) 22:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I noticed that a while back and I highly suggest you don't say you discovered something first unless you have proof and it is really a did you know fact as previously stated. Carbonkirby (talk) 22:41, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I know that it's... i dunno... mean for someone to do that, but, like chill.--Kingzant (talk) 15:54, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

"edit" button
Ever since the edit button was added to this template on the main page, there have been a lot of edits, not all of which are great. Also, didn't this thing once have an archive? --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 20:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, the facts that are moved off the list should go to SmashWiki:Did you know Logan &middot; (Talk &middot; Contributions) 18:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

What's the Big IDEA!?!
Hey. I know that you can damage Master Hand in Brawl with NESS's PSI MAGNET! I DID IT< YOU HAVE TO BE IN THE AIR BESIDE HIM< THOUGH!!! SO CHANGE IT BACK!?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Supernicknobros (talk • contribs) 12:22, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * DID YOU LOOK AT HIS HP? IT DOES NOT CHANGE, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY! Only Lucas's PSI Magnet does damage. PERIOD. - Gargomon251 20:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Oil Panic - 60%
Three PK Flashes. Happy to be of service. XXXXX 19:53, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

ichigo258
on brawl you can unlock both cagews in 1st sse level by hitting peachs to get even hp for both cages then ONLY hit the pirana plant aka peteyIchigo258 23:26, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Somehow I really doubt that works. Show some proof. How does the game decide who is saved if that's the case? - Gargomon251 (talk) 04:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

About the add facts link
Why make it hard coded URL? I think it should stay a internal wiki link, because, as much as I don't like it, this template, and everything else, also shows up at w:c:ssb-gamespot, for example: w:c:ssb-gamespot:Template:Did you know. Logan - (Talk&middot;Contributions) 17:36, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Kirby's Cook
Did you know that Kirby's final smash: Cook can eat Ness's PK thunder? Haven't verified if the same applies for Lucas. --TheRiot (talk) 19:36, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

That seems cool.--Kingzant (talk) 15:52, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah it does, really annoying when Lucas/Ness is trying to get away by going off the stage but is unable to recover since the PK thunder was taken away. (talk) 19:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Ice Climber Selection
Did you know that the colors of the Ice Climber's parkas are reversed (ex: girl IC wearing the guy's colors) in the character selection screen, but when in a match, the colors switch places from the character selection screen? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.229.192.59 (talk • contribs) 23:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, unsigned user, it says that on their SSBB page. - Gargomon251 (talk) 00:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Survive Dragoon
If used at the proper time, Ike's Aether can survive a Dragoon hit. The sound will play as if you will have been hit, but afterwords you just continue the move. Glad to be of help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LastShadow (talk • contribs) 00:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Ike's Aether has Superarmor frames, where he takes damage, but no Knockback. Works with his Neutral Special too.

Light sword and Falcon Punch
Did you know that when Captian Falcon does a Falcon Punch While holding a light sword, it looks like the Falcon has an eye? --GandWuser (talk) 17:01, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * You mean beam sword, right? Star105XL (talk) 02:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Walk on lava
Did you know if you have a starman or metal box you can walk on un-walkable surfaces such as lava, acid, spikes, etc.
 * Well DUUUUUUH. - Gargomon251 (talk) 03:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Top suicides
On level one of target smash Jigglypuff, King Dedede, Toon Link, Link, Snake and Peach can perform a top suicide. On level two ALL characters can perform a top suicide. On level three ALL characters can perform a top suicide. On level four Lucario, Jigglypuff, Snake, and Toon link can perform a top suicide. On level five Toon link, Peach, Snake and Jigglypuff can perform a top suicide.Star105XL (talk) 21:50, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You mean a Star Suicide. And this isn't really that important. And SIGN YOUR POSTS! - Gargomon251 (talk) 03:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Luigi Taunt
Did you know that in Melee, Luigi's taunt can give a very light damage of 1%? GandWuser (talk) 22:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Not to be rude, but..... DON'T STATE SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW!--King Dedede Kirby (talk) 22:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Jeez, who DOESN'T know that? It's been in every single smash game. -Gargomon251 (talk) 06:44, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Umm... yea alot of people do know that...so... umm... try posting something else, ok?--Kingzant (talk) 15:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Many people know that. You just discovered that? IT IS ON THIS WIKIA!!! It would take an idiot to not know that. I'm with King Dedede Kirby, Gargomon251, and Kingzant. You must have been desparate for an article... ParaGoomba348 (talk) 02:51, 17 June 2008 (UTC)ParaGoomba348 (talk) 17:50, 16 June 2008, Monday (UTC)

Snake infinite recovery
If u didnt ledge grab with a normal recovery and the cypher, try this drop a C4 and detonate it immediatly if ur near it youl blow up and fly up abit then u can use cypher again! just be sure ur % aint high or youl fly high and may star K.O. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.83.48.54 (talk • contribs) 18:05, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Duh, that's already on Snake (SSBB), and it should be on bomb recovery too. - Gargomon251 (talk) 18:14, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Giga Jiggly Glitch
If you are on the stage, Bridge of Eldin, and you're using Jigglypuff, then get a smash ball and do her Final Smash as the bridge is being warped back in. Also, if Yoshi "swallows" the giant Jigglypuff, then Jigglypuff will be around 3-6x larger!--Kingzant (talk) 15:39, 1 June 2008 (UTC)


 * OOOOOOOOLD - Gargomon251 (talk) 16:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Aerial attacks do the same thing as a jump
After using your 3rd jump as Jigglypuff keep doing your up-aerial to rise as far as your jumps would take you. Meta Knight works the same way. Yoshi's works if you do your up-aerial in the middle of your 2nd jump.Star105XL (talk) 22:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Most air attacks don't stop your momentum. --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 19:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, he's saying you can perform rising attacks by holding the stick up while tapping attack. It will keep moving up even though you aren't hitting up more than once. - Gargomon251 (talk) 21:34, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * This is so obvious. Its called the Wall of Pain! Zmario (talk) 19:06, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Survive with 0 HP
If you have a little Hp left as Giga Bowser and run out of HP you'll transform back and have 0 Hp and survive. Star105XL (talk) 03:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That's pure myth. Every time I did it, he reverted back and got KOd immediately. - Gargomon251 (talk) 09:14, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Pure myth!? It worked perfectly for me! In fact, I might have been the guy who first discovered it! I was the person to post it in Bowser's trivia section, and before I did it I had never heard of it before. Make no mistake- it works all right. Maybe they fixed it or something, but I can do it easily.Maxiscool (talk) 13:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Weird, I must have done it wrong the first time. Anyway it's only one extra hit, not too useful but neat. It treats it like 1%. - Gargomon251 (talk) 15:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Peach can...
still attack while hovering? Also, in SMB2, she could float for 1.5 sec., but in Brawl, she can for 4 seconds? GandWuser (talk) 22:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * All very common knowledge. Next you'll say Mario can use Fireball while still holding a Fire Flower. - Gargomon251 (talk) 22:18, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OMG HE CAN!??!?!?!?!(KingRanter (talk) 05:50, 15 June 2008 (UTC))

Ganondorf faster than Sonic
i once was Sonic against Ganondorf. he used his dash, and suddenly when i was behind him, knowing that i was faster, i dashed. however, he reached the ledge before i did! and Sonic is faster than Ganondorf! When i was behind him, i should have gone through him! Ganondorf faster than Sonic? unbelievable!ParaGoomba348 (talk) 00:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC)3 June 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by ParaGoomba348 (talk • contribs) 16:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Wario can produces a suicidal Star K.O.?
Its true. Double jump then use your bike then jump off it the use afully charged Wario waft in the air and he dies. Zmario (talk) 10:49, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Just like Wario-Man. Big deal. - Gargomon251 (talk) 04:05, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Kirby's Level
When Kirby's level is up in the air you can jump through the the buttom of the stage, great for getting around edge guarders/hogs, or just doing a suprise attack. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. Bond (talk • contribs) 03:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Which kirby level? Which game? Care to explain yourself? - Gargomon251 (talk) 04:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe it is Halberd, since I got owned by Falco's landmaster off the top of that level. My friend fell off the edge, so I thought I was safe, then he flew threw the bottom of the level and star KO'd me... I was pissed. Dexington (talk) 04:04, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * First of all, when i did that, it never happened. I was against Wolf and he used his landmaster, when i fell through the stage i lost.... :(.  Second of all, saying that stuff above is NOT needed for SmashWiki...what if there are kids on this site and they start saying that!  That's giving them a bad message!  Third of all, stop making up stories!  People will think it's true and when they try it out, it will be false.  Now stop doing all that stuff!  ParaGoomba348 (talk) 00:51, 16 June 2008 (UTC)ParaGoomba348, 15 June 2008, Sunday (UTC)
 * Saying WHAT stuff? I don't know what you're talking about. - Gargomon251 (talk) 01:24, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

What, pissed? I can't say pissed? lol... Anyway, I was not making up stories, it happened. The bottom of that level is able to be passed through. Dexington (talk) 20:56, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * LOL that's as *bad* as saying "crap". Oh, real offensive :P -Gargomon251 (talk) 04:07, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Ness'& Lucas' Second Jump
Their second jump is not affected by a bunny hood. The jump distance will be the same as it would be without a bunny hood. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.183.73.163 (talk • contribs) 03:18, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Iceclimber's Iceberg
The Iceberg moves down when hit. If hit with a stronger attack, it'll move a larger Distance. (Daangdang (talk) 17:04, 16 June 2008 (UTC))
 * Can we please refrain from stating the obvious?? - Gargomon251 (talk) 01:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Flying Wario
Wario Man can fly using aerial attacks (except for the down one) until his final smash is over. Pretty awesome.


 * It is pretty cool, but very well known. --Posted by Pikamander2   (Talk)  at 22:35, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Emphasis on the VERY. Doesn't it say that on both the DOJO!! and his trophy? - Gargomon251 (talk) 01:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah it sorta did...next time choose a much more interesting topic.

ParaGoomba348 (talk) 01:15, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Starting Zero Suit Samus
I know most people know this already, but for those that don't: to start as Zero Suit Samus, hold down the original shield button for your controller configuration and keep holding until you pick a stage. Keep holding, and you start out as Zero Suit Samus.
 * The point of this article is THINGS THAT ARE NOT WELL KNOWN. This trick has been stated MANY, MANY TIMES. - Gargomon251 (talk) 04:03, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Temple Spin Dash Suicide
When you use Sonic in the Temple stage, go to the part of the stage with the stairs. Use Sonic's side special (spin dash) on the part of the stairs where there is a break between the two stairs. If done correctly, Sonic will spin dash off of the screen! Note: You must be facing the RIGHT side of the screen, NOT the left.
 * HELLO!!!Spin Glitch!!! - Gargomon251 (talk) 01:42, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Least Appearances
Should we add that Lucas, Ice Climbers, and Sheik have made the least appearances in brawl? Gargomon please don't flame me. ItemHazard (talk) 21:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC) ItemHazard

That's noticable, but not the most interesting fact, and I don't think it's worth posting. Of course, that's my opinion. And haha - yes. Gargoman could learn some more common courtesy. Flaming makes you seem like a jerk. You do it well.
 * Sorry, but I really get infuriated by so many people posting things here that have been known by many people for over a year, especially when these things are acknowledged within the game itself. And SOMEONE has to keep this article straight. As far as least appearances goes, it's reasonable, but I'm not sure how notable it is... when I first started watching this template, I was trying to restrict trivia to things both notable and hopefully useful, not something like the number of stitches on mario's hat or some combo that only works in Training mode.- Gargomon251 (talk) 01:01, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * No probs Gargomon. Although I was just trying to add a new fact since we haven't had one in days. Heck, that King DeDeDe with the hammers IMO is kind of useless trivia. ItemHazard (talk) 17:13, 21 June 2008 (UTC) ItemHazard

Through the lava
In the planet Zebes stage of Super smash brothers, kirby can go through the lava if he turns into a rock. Solar flute (talk) 17:28, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Kind of obvious. But sure why not? ItemHazard (talk) 17:37, 21 June 2008 (UTC) ItemHazard

I like this one, personally. Can Kirby do this in the other games? Zixor (talk) 03:19, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure, I only have the 64 game. Solar flute (talk)

Under The Stage
If a need presents itself, characters with a good jump (ROB, Pit...) can go underneath the stage and come up on the other side. This is very unexpected and can catch your enemy off guard, or you can get around a edge guard/hog.


 * Hyrule Jump....-Gargomon251 (talk) 20:33, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Exactly

Yes the Hyrule Jump, but also places like FD and Battlefield

Mario
Mario is in Brawl. LOL just kidding. Zmario (talk) 19:39, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

everybody in this wiki knows that Solar flute (talk) 05:18, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Final Smash Moves
Here's some random stuff about final Smashes: Marth-if in air u can shoot yourself off the screen ROB-you can still do all your regular moves while it is going, including taunts Pit-can easily be dodged with a simple roll (over shield) Gannondorf-anyone in front of it will be driven into the ground so that they can't move Jigglypuff-gets bigger with every use Wolf/Fox-wolf's is essentially the same as fox's but is faster, more manuverable, flies better, and doesn't stay out for as long Link/Toon Link-link's travels twice the distance of toon link's (link's is all the way across final destination) Snake-12 shots are used but if you wait to long the helicopter will land due to running out of gas Bowser-can still be hurt while giga bowser Ness/Lucas-ness's goes diagonally while lucas's goes straight down Ike-sword can go through walls and barriers

Some of these are more obvious than others but I hope I wrote at least some interesting things! Feel free to add more!

R.O.B's Robo burner
When pressing the special move button multiple times, The distance will significantly increase due to the physics of R.O.B's Robo Burner? - Hatake91 (talk) 20:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

ice climbers
Have both ice climber get on an edge jump up put your shild on nana will follow wait untill your shield breaks  then you will be able to control nana for a short distance.
 * No. Nana always follows your lead. - Gargomon251 (talk) 22:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Special Brawl : Metal
Well, I was on Special brawl, and turned on Metal And whenever I used a character who talked, then didn't. For example, I used Ike. And then used his Up Special, where he would yell "Yah!" or "Aether" or such, but instead - all I hear is the whoosh from his sword.

I'm not sure if this is only part of the Special Brawl, or plainly just from being Metal. Someone can confirm and such :] Daangdang (talk) 04:29, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Being metal has always removed talking. Maxiscool (talk) 19:57, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Squirtle
Idk if this is painfully obvious yet as im new, but DYK Squirtle, though being a water type pokemon, can still drown?Key-pez (talk) 01:33, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

And Charizard can be hurt by fire attacks and Pikachu can be hurt by electric attacks and Ike can be hurt by Peach bomber? (Actually, I like Ike, but I couldn't resist saying that.) But on a more serious note, Squitle can be hurt by water attacks in the Pokemon games, I'm not sure if he can drown in the anime or not, but everyone knows he can drown. Maxiscool (talk) 02:20, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

ok well i play the games so charizard and pikachu getting hurt by fire and electric attacks, respectively, makes sense. they dont really show anything drowning in the water in the anime so i just assumed. but ok i just dont spend much time in the water with anyone, so yeah. ok thnx.Key-pez (talk) 05:04, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Up Aerials
Did you know that every Character gets a small boost in their U-airs? That's how I get up small distances without the ending lag with Mr. Game & Watch. ParaGoomba348 (talk) 19:28, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

It seems like that but in reality you are just either doing a midair jump and a aerial at the same time, or you change the way the character is positioned with your aerial but in reality it seems like a boost but they are still in the same place but different animation.(some exceptions though) - Hatake91 (talk) 21:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

very confusing
I just wanted to say that I find the current set up regarding the "did you know" section to be very confusing. There are several different pages, with confusing or contradictory directions on the editing process. I am very unclear on what to do if I have an idea; whether I must enter it here, discuss it, or on the template page, or whether I can simply add it to the main page via the link there, or perhaps something else. I would really appriciate some clarification on this matter. Zixor (talk) 03:13, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

R.O.B.'s Laser
Neutral B can be angled up and down.

I am afraid that everybody who has ever played as R.O.B. knows that. And sign your posts. Maxiscool (talk) 03:02, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
