Some of Mika Kanai's recordings are from episodes 45 and 62 of the ''Pokémon'' anime.

Jigglypuff ranks 6th, right in the middle of the [[tier list]], in the B tier. It is notable for being the lightest, floatiest, and lowest gravity character in the game. Jigglypuff has many low [[knockback]] attacks, which when combined with its floatiness, can be abused to its advantage in several combos against heavier characters, especially by gimping them or carrying them all the way to the lateral blast lines. It also has some moves with disproportionate power, like its up smash, back throw, and the famous [[Rest]]. However, because Jigglypuff is so light and floaty, it is very easy to KO. In addition, Jigglypuff lacks a rising [[up special]] move for recovery, forcing it to rely on its remaining midair jumps and [[Pound]] to recover. | Jigglypuff ranks 6th, right in the middle of the [[tier list]], in the B tier.

|usdesc= | |usdesc=Jigglypuff sings while staying in place and creating music waves. Any nearby grounded opponents will be sent to sleep if they get caught by the waves. Unlike in later games, opponents sleep for longer at lower percentages. Unlike most up specials, it is not a recovery move, and will most certainly lead to a [[self-destruct]] if used offstage due to its long ending lag. The move heavily suffers from having its short range (hampered by the fact that it does not work on aerial or shielding opponents), long startup lag and extremely long ending lag, with the entire move taking 3 seconds to complete. Even at lower percents, the opponent can [[Button mashing|mash out]] of the sleep and punish Jigglypuff before Jigglypuff has even finished singing. Jigglypuff can use Sing after a teleport to use the move while approaching but overall, it is considered one of the worst moves in the game, with its extreme flaws making it borderline useless. | ||
