User:The Jacketed Terrapin/List of entities that skipped an installment

This is a list consisting of characters, objects, and alter egos that have appeared in prior installments in the Super Smash Bros. series, but do not appear in any capacity whatsoever in later installments.

Note: Only non-character objects or alternate versions of characters will be listed if they have a trophy.

Absent in Smash 4 and Ultimate
Due to the rather large amount of entities that do not return in Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the lists for those games have their own sub-pages: click here for Smash 4 and here for Ultimate.
