Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS trophy description
"The main character of The Mysterious Murasame Castle. In this game, he dashes and jumps straight to the nearest opponent and shows off his swift sword skills. If he's got a bit of distance, he uses his special ninja techniques, based on the rock and the bishop in Japanese chess, to send projectiles spinning through the air."
Origin
Takamaru is the protagonist of the 1986 Famicom game The Mysterious Murasame Castle. In said game, he is an apprentice samurai who must protect Edo Japan and four neighboring castle towns from an evil alien menace, residing in the titular Murasame Castle. Armed with only a katana and his wit, he sets off to rescue the people from the extraterrestrial's influence. The game worked similarly to The Legend of Zelda, based on the same engine, and had several power-ups for Takamaru to use, including sandals that let him walk on water, fireballs, throwing knives and windmill swords. Takamaru and his game became rather obscure, owing to the lack of worldwide releases for it; prior to the Famicom disc for the game making a cameo in Pikmin 2, Takamaru was effectively unknown in the Western world. The character would later make his first international appearance in Samurai Warriors 3 for the Wii as a playable character, and after being featured in his own mini-game in the Wii U game Nintendo Land, his own game received an international release for the 3DS via the eShop.
