'''Jigglypuff''' ({{Ja|プリン|Purin}}, ''Purin'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It was formally added to the official website on November 5th, 2014, though the launch of {{for3ds}} in Japan two months prior meant that its return to the series was already known. It was also seen several times during the [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza]]. Jigglypuff is once again voiced by Rachael Lillis in English and Mika Kanai in Japanese, albeit with the same voice clips from earlier installments. As in previous games, it also has different voice actresses in French and German due to name changes.

Jigglypuff is ranked 58th out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing it at the bottom of both the H tier and the overall tier list. This is a very slight drop from its already abysmal placement in ''Brawl'', where it ranked in the bottom tier at 36th out of 38. Jigglypuff retains its strong air game; it has nearly unrivaled aerial mobility thanks to its high [[air speed]] and multiple [[midair jump]]s, as well as good [[juggling]] ability thanks to its fast and long-lasting aerial attacks. All of these attributes facilitate a strong [[edgeguarding]] ability, for it can perform its signature [[Wall of Pain]] technique, and it has a potent finisher in its back aerial. Additionally, [[Rest]] has regained some of its power that was lost in ''Brawl''.

However, Jigglypuff also retains its glaring weaknesses, as it still suffers from a terrible ground game due to its slow mobility, short [[reach]], and lackluster [[grab]] game with no grab combos to speak of. Jigglypuff also has severe issues KOing, with laggy finishers and Rest being very difficult to land without a hard [[read]]. Its endurance is unarguably the worst, as it is extremely floaty and is the [[weight|lightest]] character in the game. This is exacerbated by the new [[rage]] mechanic and weaker [[shield]]s, the latter making its suicidal [[shield jump]] even more dangerous.
