PK Freeze (localized as PSI Freeze in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'') first appeared in ''{{iw|wikibound|Mother|video game}}'' and has appeared in later {{uv|Mother}} games since. In all of three of the ''Mother'' games, the move involved using the character's psychic power to cause ice damage to enemies. However, in the ''Mother'' series, Lucas and Ness cannot learn the move; instead, it is learned by some of their friends and party members, {{s|wikibound|Paula}} and {{s|wikibound|Poo}} in ''EarthBound'' and {{s|wikibound|Kumatora}} in ''Mother 3'' respectively. | PK Freeze (localized as PSI Freeze in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'') first appeared in ''{{iw|wikibound|Mother|video game}}'' and has appeared in later {{uv|Mother}} games since.

In ''Mother 3,'' PK Freeze instead seems to flash freeze enemies within hexagonal and diamond shapes before exploding. During a cutscene in Mother 3, when Kumatora is first encountered by the player assuming the roll as the character Duster, she uses an icy, snowflake like projectile to defend herself that functioned closely to how PK Freeze does in the ''Smash'' series. It traveled in an arc similarly to how PK Freeze moves when it is used by Lucas, meaning this may have inspired how the move is executed in ''Smash''. Also, when Lucas performs the move in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', a snowflake inside a hexagon can be seen before "exploding", which may be reference to the geometric patterns that appear when PK Freeze is used in battle. | ||
In ''Super Smash Bros Ultimate,'' this reference was made more apparent by having the exact same particle effects from Mother 3 emit upon PK Freeze's detonation. | |||
