Footnotes

* Time required to unlock Mewtwo can be split between players (eg. 2 human players requires 10hrs, 3 human players requires 6hrs 40mins, and four players requires 5hrs).

** Sheik is not on the character select menu, but she can be used by using Zelda in a match, and using her down B move. Conversely, using Sheik's down B move will transform Sheik back into Zelda.

*** Snake is not the only secret character for SSBB, but he is the only confirmed one.
